I'm 70 yrs old and I just found John Prine. I missed out on listening to him for about 50 yrs so I guess I've got alot of catching up to do or live to 140. I hope I go to heaven and he's there too

A duet by two great American songwriters. They are both crown jewels of American music.

[@l2string]

I saw John in Pittsburgh in early 2012, he dedicated this song to his brother who he said wasn't doing too well, was in the hospital, they had talked before the show and his brother had asked John to play this for him. John ended the song with tears streaming down his face. THIS MAN IS REAL. Love you John.

[@deewkay1]

John and Steve, two brothers from different mothers. God Bless you both... Miss you Steve and your smile.

[@lawrence1960]

Still,my favorite Prine song, and even better with Steve.

[@KevinKennedydublin]

I wonder if John Prine ever watched all these vintage videos on KZbin that he may have missed first time around. I'd like to think he did. I saw JP three times in the 2 years before he died, and he always paid tribute to his friend 'Stevie' Goodman. 2 legends. Together again I hope.

[@gailwilliams2678]

There is a sweet, short documentary here somewhere about Steve Goodman, featuring interviews with John Prine, Arlo Guthrie, Kris Kristofferson, Steve's widow, and his manager. Kristofferson has to stop talking at one point, because he starts crying. I was blessed to see Steve perform at the Moore Theater in Seattle in the mid-70s. He played solo for three hours, with one little break. What a treat that was!

[@felixthecat4536]

This is beyond gold .

[@paulshafer1808]

[@jaysoneubanks579]

I never knew who John Prine was until I heard of his passing. I consider myself very knowledgeable when it comes to music. I have been exploring John's music for the last 4 weeks and I can say that he, without a doubt, has become my most favorite song writer of all time. Such simple song structure with such a powerful message. I'm sad I never got to see you perform John. I hope you are having your vodka and ginger ale next to peaceful waters.

[@THEEJuror13]

[@fishinwithjimgronaw6224]

A musical void that may never be filled, sad, yet powerful, sweet, and somehow strong. I used to play Johns songs in bars back in the 70's as a much younger man when not many knew of him. Now, as I approach 70, I feel once again drawn to the truthful lyrics and earthy performances that he blessed us with. Thankful that I got to see him perform live a couple of times. RIP.

They were always absolutely amazing to see live! In Chicago, whoever you were going to see, John or Steve, the other would show up and it was so special. They were best buddies and helped one another, they co-wrote several songs. David Bromberg, look him up, is another who played with them. 🪕🎸🎻🎼🎵 In 1973 my friends were playing their albums, I was a teenager and I have loved their music ever since. Countless shows & hours listening to them are never boring...hit rewind & repeat & enjoy! So blessed to have had that opportunity.

I saw John and Steve in concert together back in 1981 or 82 in Des Moines, Iowa. I still think about that show all these years later. Hearing Steve's guitar work, it's not hard to understand why John always closed out the Souvenirs by saying, "That's for Steve Goodman." We lost Steve way, way too early.

[@channel-ww3vb]

was fortunate enough to see/listen to both Steve G & John P individually and together, College of DuPage way back in the late 70s. Have numerous Goodman albums/songs.
