What a simply wonderful human being. It has been an honour to have been on planet earth simultaniously with him.

[@greggwendorf2223]

Got hooked on Prine in 1974. Thankful for so many years listening to his great, great music. Saw him many times in his early days. Fave song back then: Illegal Smile. RIP, John. Damn Covid.

[@SongwritersCompanion]

Wow... so great to see John Prine so early in his career. I first saw him on TV probably around 1975 and immediately became a devoted life long fan. Thanks for posting this.

[@bendudley5415]

This where I first became a John Prine fan.

[@benjamineastman9950]

I suppose you remember when Stevie was still alive.

[@scottym9778]

I love to come across something I've never seen before. Thank You!

[@benjamineastman9950]

Wow, the first is always something to treasure, especially with John Prine. You will develop a relationship with his music. Beautiful.

[@simplytroy]

Just John, his guitar, and his stories. Sublime.

[@larrymclarnon-pd8xf]

I have been a fan of John since the very beginning, and I miss him something awful.

[@ronj9448]

Jerry G Bishop. That is a name I haven't thought about or heard in decades. Wow.

[@petermcguigan5207]

miss you John, i know your'e whistlin' and fishin' in heaven

[@benwhackley]

George Carlin, Shel Silverstein, John Prine. Whatta panel!

[@wmbrown6]

In a way, this would be a tribute to all four of the individuals assembled here - Mr. Prine; Mr. Carlin; Jerry G.; and Chicago's own Mr. Silverstein.

[@andrewnorris1514]

Freaking AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@fidadee]

I was 18 in 1972. Nice to see him and playing.

[@lizmoore2180]

John Prine ... music that makes sense!

[@soldtobediers]

Yes! Common Sense.

[@julesotis13]

[@jimsisko6462]

Wish I discovered him back then instead of 1980.

[@joeferguson2606]

and 3 days later i was at wrigley to watch the cubs vs pirates doubleheader. I was 5

[@FuzzyMemoriesTV]

Three days after what? This aired in December 1972 - unless it was a re-run airing you're thinking of?

[@frankgrasso8668]

How lucky for that audience to see and hear someone like John Prine in such an intimate venue. Someone that would become such a legend in music. By the way ...was that Shel Silverstein sitting there next to the stage?

[@julesotis13]

so epic

[@jamescrabtree9240]

Great! Thanks for posting this.

[@MayMarie98]

He and Bruce Springsteen are tied for best storytellers in music in my opinion. Love John Prine. ❤️❤️❤️

[@jamesbckmstro3]

As far as 'storyteller' Prine is WAY ahead of Springsteen

[@cravinbob]

@@jamesbckmstro3 Tom Waits got em both beat. Tom and John any day, Bruce can stay on FM radio in that rotation. (Billy Joe Shaver writes up a storm as well as Dave Alvin)

[@jamesbckmstro3]

@@cravinbob I got to see To at the Ryan about 14 years ago, also Prine there quite a few times and saw Shaver at a local club in 2015 agree with you completely, oddly tho I am not familiar with Dave Alvin, will look into hi. Randy Newman too is way up there on my list of the best, also saw him at the Ryman about 1998

[@Russel-lp1js]

Tribute song John Prine by songwriter Dennis Callahan.

[@lawrencelizewski9625]

Is that Shel Silverstein in audience at start?

[@whiskeyryan]

I thought I saw uncle Shelby too.

[@jamesbckmstro3]

Yes that was Shel also from Chicago.

[@sonotdown998]

''^it is stirred strong to mind, those fond days, of those One's, of those many One's of we.'' John's songs, much like Jesus' Word was liken a covering that helped us with ^it all. ...tTt... ///^it\\\ -William Gilpin 62921

im getting sleepy

[@twoarrows2543]

I don't what the big deal is about John Prine.

[@featherriver2080]

You clearly have no taste in music or, anything else.

[@aaronm.3581]

The songs, the sincerity.

[@lizmoore2180]

How old are you?
