That lead guitarist deserves alot of notoriety, he's not only cool,hip looking,but he's a perfect musician
His name is Jason Wilber and he played with John for 20 years. You're right, perfect timing
jason wilbur carries on with love respect stuffnthings deservedly indeed
are you his boyfriend?
One of the greatest lines ever written, "He knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve." Come on. Perfect. xoxoxo
I know! He was such a wonderful musician!
oodles of light what a beauitufl sight both of gods eyes are shining tonight last monday night i saw a fight between wednesdya and thursday over sat night friday asked me what was gone on i said fridays in the meadow sundays int he corn clock played the drumns i played the sax wind whistled dow nthe raildroad trax
I adopted the illegal smile this man put on my face thirty years ago, and never shook it. And for about twenty of those years I played the guitar-now I mostly just play Prine. Once I learned his Travis picking style I saw no need for anything else. Not a day goes by that I don’t feel his influence and presence in one way or another.
I will grieve for John Prine rest of my life
I listen to his music a lot. To me it has a great message and if you sit and ponder the wording and stories, it has so much feeling and truth, it’s got lessons we can learn from. I miss you John
If you don't like John Prine's music, don't listen to it. Go find your own, but don't disrespect this man with a hateful dislike.
I don’t care how many years pass, it hasn’t become any easier. I cry with every article, interview, concert. Yet isn’t it so fantastic to ‘get’ enough stories to finally get the whole joke?! I still suspect there’s more, though. I was just considering that phenomenon & how I really just finally ‘got’ a couple of songs I’ve been listening to since the 70s. Right after I was watching House of Strombo & to my amazement he talks about just that! He talks about first holding & savoring a song like an exquisite secret ‘like I know something you don’t know’ while he enjoys a new song before he ever plays it for anyone. Then to my amazement he went on to explain how thrilled he is that as he continues telling stories about songs - that more & more of us start to get the punchline. Beautiful. ❤️
John Prine was an extraordinary artist. I got the punchline by the seventies and haven't looked back.
That is no lie. Just reading the comments and trying to offer my own sentiment brings me to tears. We’re all better for the wear. I dearly love that man and always will. Introduced my wife, daughter, and son in law to him, and in a couple of years my new grandson will be sporting the same illegal smile.
Btw I am so grateful I could see him live before he passed, this was about two years before Covid in Florida. Despite his health issues, he danced his ass off. It was clear he loved performing and making the audience happy. I will forever cherish that memory. We miss you John, but you were too good to last forever.
Almost 70 years old metal head here. Got introduced to John Prine's music couple years ago. Boy was raised right.❤️🍺🍕
That David Jakes on bass sure puts John's tempo straight every time!
Almost 50 years ago, sitting around with my one of my brothers and two of my sisters in our teens; listening to albums from Cat Stevens, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, and John Prine...set the foundation for the man I grew up to be. Still deeply touched by his music. Today is the day before Easter...i find myself wishing Jesus would raise this man from the grave.
a person may die.....but their music will never.....RIP JP
I have been a HUGE fan since my college days in the 70s. I can listen to his music over and over and it touches my heart every time. We lost a great poet! Heaven has gained a great man. God Bless John Prine!
I believe GOD has his hands full with Mr.Prine and that 9 mile cigarette. SMILE ❤And the dear Lord is thinkin....why aren't the ANGELS going to sleep? The ANGELS are still LOVING him waking them up and it's probably be a place we should look forward to...not until GOD takes you though.❤
Allen mohler,I wish I knew you better because we would probably be good friends but although johnprine has turned out to be one of the best if not the best musicians, it was Allen Toussaint I wanted to comment on
Will always remember John Prine! He was just humble and kind and said it like it is! R.I.P. John💕💕💕🙏👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🎉🎉🎉🇺🇸
Thank you from Maywood Illinois.
R. I. P. John.
I Love your music, I just ran across it on U-Tube Ben listening to it ever since
Fred Durbin and RobbieJo my Doxie.
Great songwriter with a big heart
The emotions I go through watching or listening to a John Prine set:
Happy tears
Sad tears
Grins
Chuckles
Laughter
He covers all bases. He was a musical genius.
Amen to that 👍
Every goddang time man
I have cried listening to many John Prine songs
@@rickfulton7388 An I
John prine saved my life more than once. I never met him
Who could not love John Prine..
"Gonna be a long Monday, stuck like a tick of a clock, thats come unwound, again."
The lines are perfect postcards.
The songs are perfect portraits of specific subjects, many of us have never seen..
And yet, they strike a specific spine-tingling chord .
Lord, I miss the man.
Stop believing in time sweetpea. And if we don't like Monday...guess what..we'd be not liking Tuesday.We gotta start somewhere..its inevitable ❤

I am so sorry I didn't get to meet this man or even get to see him live, but I have been watching all of these videos and loving every minute. From what I can see he had a good heart and a calm soul.So i'm learning to play his songs and telling friends about him. even cancer didn't dampen his spirit.If I could live my life over I would want to be just like him.Rest in peace John,God Bless.
Covid took him and we must learn to live with just his soul, his poetry and keeping those other musicians (his partners), especially Jason Wilbur, who are having to bear John's departure..
One of the greatest, he has gone just to be forever among us
He never left...he's an angel❤
I was fortunate to see him that night at the Greek Theater in 2014. John and band always entertained with little tidbits about different songs they played that spanned John’s career. Great entertainer. I miss him.
What a sweet, kind, funny, wise, and HUMAN man! I appreciate all his music, and his evolution over the years. I also especially like how he interacts with his fellow musicians, always deferring to their talent and acknowledging their contributions, not hogging the spotlight all for himself. It's apparent they all held him in high regard as well. He will be missed daily!
Love this comment, Maureen!!! xoxo
@@dannymacphee4444 Thank you, my pleasure to contribute! :-)
Wow..where to start...i watched this GENTLEMAN surrounded by family and friends...young and ( whatever age you feel)...i recommend all to listen to his lyrics...listen is key. WILLY 's son acknowledged him...Thank goodness ..cause a part of Mr.Prine exists in all of us.Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Alberto Daniel instablaster ;)
The man is an American treasure and a genius songwriter! I miss him so much!
When he said "that's for Bonnie Raitt" It made me cry. :)
So many of us loved him.............
Who would have thought, real musicians playing real instruments singing real songs. I think this is what we used to call talent
What we used to call music.
This MAN will forever go down as one of the greatest.
This man is UP...SINGING WITH ANGELS❤
Thank you Lord for giving us John prine while we had him
Such a wonderful wonderful musician! A massive shame I only discovered John's music after he passed. RIP
Same here
That is a shame - can't imagine. I discovered him in 1974, it was such a pleasure as each new album came out. Saw him in concert numerous times, each different.
@@JNUC172 I know! I've been obsessed with his music ever since. Watched him in interviews and the likes and he seemed like such a lovely man. Badly missed.
It just blows my mind to see the number of comments on these John Prine videos. Wow. What a legend.
Hold on a second... ( I am trying to pick up the puzzle pieces of my own mind) off the floor..SMILE..I LOVED YOUR COMMENT ❤
@@margaretstoner4701 l liked your comment as well. Is that a song...because it should be 🤗
he's got big wings...........trust me....honorable is a forgotten trait
I was sitting in the 4th row in the pit. I don't usually splurge for great seats, but I'm soooooo glad I did. It was by far one of my most memorable concerts ever and i've been going to 12 concerts a year since 1995.
Windows rolled up & my mind rolled down. Just one of the many ways to enjoy the genius that is JP.
Long Monday is one of his many many best.
The Mandolin player should play for free, he's having way too much fun.
I so agree he's rockin it!
the legendary Pat M
He is it's his little brother 🤣
Agree with you about the fun but maybe you should just say that you are very happy with the way hr play
Loving all of his songs. Bravo! I bet he’s now singing among angels.
This was the very best version of Lake Marie ever. My favorite JP song. Magic.
...not to mention IRON ORE BETTY !!!
WHAT A HORRIBLE LOSS!!! THIS MAN GAVE SO MANY OF US GREAT STORIES & HUMOR!! HE WILL BE SORELY MISSED!!!
Yes,I am sore about our loss of him but we gain from him and we pass it on,long live BBKing
Only saw him once. Played solo at The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, Ca. That was all it took. God had him, before we let him go. Live on John!
After having listened to him since 1998(?) when I noticed that "Sam Stone" and "Flag Decal" were by the same guy (WtF?!? LOL), then slowly realized he never went away was still around and catching up with him over the next 15 or so years, I saw him in New Orleans at the Saenger in Dec 2016. What a magical night. While I am fucking pissed at he circumstances of his murder, I am so glad he went out on high notes....the triumph of the Tree of Forgiveness, being recognized by his peers with a lifetime achievement Grammy, press out the yang, and, posthumously, tributes from all of his fellow musical deities. All for my surrogate grandpa. You done good, John!
Loved the Golden Bear... I was mistaken for JP at the Troubadour in 73.. I went to Tower records on Sunset to by his albums.. love his tone and lyrics..sad days now
golden bear was sweet , saw , jerry , linda , kingfish , elvin bishop , and stood in the foyer to watch the Bryds as a kid
We love and miss you John!
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps...how did he express how wonderfully people feel so universally? So many awesome lines. How the hell does a person work all day, and have nothing to say?
Come a long way buddy. Rest in Peace.❤️🌹
These songs will live forever.
I had never heard of John Prine until he died. Also I’ve never been a Country music fan. But having watched several of his concerts since his sad death I now appreciate his talent. Some great songs there....and I look forward to exploring his backlog of music.
He's folk and country, depending on the song, though his storytelling seems more folkie, to me anyway.
Miss, you will discover to your great satisfaction that John Prine (RIP) is one of the best and cleverest songwriters ever. Do as I was lucky enough to do, start from the beginning. He'll make you laugh, and he'll break your heart. Don't worry, he'll hold you in between, too. Enjoy.
@@4orrcountry "A folk singers job is to comfort the distressed and distress the comfortable" WOODY GUTHRIE
@@donnieblue1007dm I love this Woody Guthrie quote. Thanks for posting it.
Also have lived John Prine since I first heard his music in 1975, when I was lucky enough to go to school by Chicago and back in the glorious folk music that was being created in and around Chicago back on those days. John Prine was the recognized king of tge folks scene, though he, of course, would have hated being singked out like that. Because besides being brilliant and kind, he was also truly humble and grateful for the opportunities he gained that let him share his wise, finny, heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking songs that we can continue to love and cherish, even as we keep saying to ourselves, I just can't believe he's really gone...
Wonderful concert listening to John Prine - and as always good to watch Pat McLaughlin wiggling inside the music when playing the mandolin.
Agreed. He seemed to be the one that enjoyed it the most. I know they wrote a song or two together. This is just lovely.
Didn't expect Connor Oberst. Got the shivers when he came out.
Thanks for uploading this concert. I know John's in a better place, but he sure is missed by a lot of people. Love and hugs to Fiona, his sons, his brothers, and his wonderful band!
❤ how can u not love this
Music from a Lovely Human being who had so much to give thru his words and music. Awesome John, sure, your in Heaven. Blessings and Heartfelt Gratitude for all these years of happiness you gave us. Thank You for Posting these Gems. Out of this world.
Gitan Rajapakse Amen!🙏🙏🙏
Yeah John. You don't need any stinkin' flag decal to get into heaven.
You've always been there.
That's the secret.
May he rest in peace. One of the greatest songwriters rt up there with Kris, Willie, etc. Love him⚘
Memories
I really am enjoying watching the videos of John Prine. I was 18 in 1971 when his debut album was released. So many of those songs are amazing classics now. How does a guy so young write so many amazing songs before he's even signed a record contract. It's been a trying week since hearing the news of his death. A day doesn't go buy that I don't listen to a number of his songs, and find a few videos to listen to. I love his songs so much. His words are amazing. And I can't think of another musician who has moved me so much. Thank you for posting this video.
Sacking53 I agree with every word you wrote. In the midst of the craziness of confrontations facing our democracy, I fear it won't sustain. Then I head to youtube and find a John Prine video and I find he takes me to a place of calm. Love his ability to capture the essence of the human experiences with words and song. Golly, just what the doctor ordered for these trying times. Thank you, John.
sacking53 he said all lyrics came from life experience! I bet you would be able to make dome yourself👍👏🏻👏🏻🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🌹
I was also 18 in 1971 and have been amazed by his song writing abilitiyAnd he will be sorely missed. Thankfully his music will live on. Condolences to his family. R I P John.
I. Am 73 this year ,and he just gets better and better,been a fan a lifetime🎂
@@johncampbell9861 im just 65 and been listening to John prine since i was 17.
He is still the greatest. Raised my kids on prine. Loved that man
He is a Angel from Montgomery
I'll never be over it. When he died it was devastating.
Same here. Every day.
Sure was !
One of the greatest songwriters ever , had a ticket for the show in Amsterdam and never got to see him. COVID took the show and him away. I love all kinds of music as long as the artist pours everything into it but I always thought that the most difficult was to write a simple universal song like him and people like Townes van Zandt and Bruce Springsteen and a few others could do. When the lyrics are so good if the music is complex it’s difficult to focus on the importance of what they’re really saying
So damn good, makes me weep.😢
I first found John Prine in a stack of albums while babysitting during high school. He was sitting on a haystack, and being a rock fan I don't know what drew me to him...but I've loved his songwriting ever since. I love his concerts, and got to see him in Raleigh, NC when he was already "ancient." Such a treasure!
Thank you for uploading. A wonderful talent was John but more importantly a wonderful human who empathised with all the pain and suffering of our world. An example to us all in trying to understand each other. Long may his spirit survive.
The only one that can make me laugh n cry in the same song....
John Prine is Life… A fantastic voyage 👍. Saw him Alb , NM 2017 . Thanks John. Bought the concert t-shirt.. Best damn shirt i own .😎
HERMOSO....MARAVILLOSO.. Gracias por tu arte..por tú música..por poesía..JOHN te escucho y te amo..desde "chile" un país miserable / indecente... Gran Valor Jhon Prine...
A terrific writer and performer.
one of the best!
I learned every song off his first album, somewhere around 1974--he'll be forever missed around this shack
I love you JP
RIP to a friend who never knew me!
One of the handful of times I was fortunate enough to have the see John play was around like 1990 when my wife, Michelle and I went to Chicago to see the Grateful Dead play one of the last shows of their summer tour at the Rosemont Horizon (now the Allstate Arena). Day after, looking for something to do, we see that John Prine is playing downtown at some dinner theater, Circa 21 Dinner Theater I think???
No tickets available for the two- night show so we leave my name and number of our hotel with this really nice box-office girl who happened to have been at the Dead show the night before...
It was kind of a long shot waiting for tickets to materialize but the phone rang the afternoon before the show. It's he girl from the box office and she has some questions for me, like "where were you Saturday night" I said "Chicago"... What did you do? " Saw the Grateful Dead" - She apparently had other ticketless people hoping for a miracle ticket.
She told us our tix would be at will-call and that we were "guests of John Prine"! and "Be sure to thank John and Al Bunetta***".
It was a great show and we got to hang with John and give him some nice Iowa outdoor herbal from my backyard. Al Bunetta was a really nice guy and funny, in a gruff sort of way - I'm sure he was a great manager - John must have thought so because I think he was his manager up until he died in 2015.
During the show we sat with John's doctor and his wife, who were also really interesting and friendly people.
Wow - I hadn't thought about that trip for years. I had eaten like 1/2 gram of mushrooms at the Dead show and Michelle had somehow ingested 3.5 and we had ended up with a bunch of tour-heads sleeping all over our room. One of many memorable trips on the Grateful Dead's summer tour which was kind of a thing myself and most of my friends looked forward to every year. This year had the additional bonus of ending with seeing and smoking with one of the greatest songwriters and performers ever!
We had been planning to see John play in St. Louis
Born too late, died too soon...
***Al Bunetta: Check out billboard magazine article about Al Bunetta
www.billboard.com/music/music-news/al-bunetta-longtime-manager-of-john-prine-dies-at-72-6509492/
I knew he was John's manager for years but didn't realize it was 40 plus years AND that Al was also co-founder of Oh Boy Records.
And he was Steve Goodman's manager as well!
Looking back, I didn't realize how fortunate I was to have been able to see all of these amazing people play.
There are a few great ones left and a lot of amazing young people carrying on.
Go see some live music!
Saw him at UMSL Touhill (doc) theatre with Cindy, we loved each that night
R.C. Schuster, Outer Banks of N.C. What a treasure. Seen John back in the 80s out in La. and been lestening to him every scence he passed. So talanted.
Thank you for posting. A great American, a great human. Brought joy and tears with his words and music. Long live John Prine!
Yes he did
Sometimes when I have something in my eye and I can't get it out...I'll put on this storyteller of old or another and it'll only take a song or 2 before tears cleanse my eye. Works every time. Harry Chapin is a good one too.
Every time I tune in.there's a song. . that just pops up.1that ive near heard before.don't know to cry or smile.as you projected so many emotions.god really took a great man.as I write this I cry tears Mr prime.I delphina will miss you with deep felt emotion honer and respect.descansa end paz.
goose bumps, tears and joy........
love john's muxic and words
been rediscovering his music. can't believe I lost contact with his music. sorry john.
So good.
Amazing man, Covid got a lot to answer for. God Bless John R.I.P
This is such a great capture. The quality, the intimacy and the song list. Thanks so much for sharing.
I was there that night.

Am grateful for his poetry and his music...which will continue to keep him with us and his many more new friends...thru the years. 7/19/20
THANKS!
I am finally going to learn a couple of john prines..
Thx!
A wonderful performance by a genius artist completely intruded on and ruined by obnoxious advertisements after (and even DURING) every song. JP's legacy deserves better.
Now this music is pure medicine . And boy we need it . vote ballot down blue and save everything we hold dear

Please leave politics out of this. Johns music is for everyone.

I swear more ads have been added since the last time I viewed this. At least put them on between songs not in the middle. I'm not sure you can listen to one complete song without interruption. This medium is my soul means of maintaining some sanity in these awful times. My wife passed away April 10 and I have been alone since. Prisoners claim solitary confinement is cruel and unusual punishment, I now see why. We all need human contact, even if it is bad. I guess because after all we are all human, even though some humans ain't human. Thank you John, you figured that out decades before me. Stay safe everyone and have faith.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. CZcams has gotten ridiculous with ads - install uBlock Origin in your browser and the ads stop.
@@wirenutt57 How much does it cost?
@@barbaramcdonough1155 I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It is so hard to lose someone close. Your whole life has this gaping hole in it and in the first months, you think it will be that way forever. I dont think it usually stays the same. I think we will always, always miss them but find a way to go on living and loving, still with that hike inside, but not so raw, maybe not quite as gaping...you will be in my thoughts and prayers, if thats ok...

Just posting to keep the memory alive, 💚 from Ireland , his second home. Sad I'll never see him again in concert.
Awesome!
The 7 people who dislike this video, I'll pray for you!
Dylan...i believe Mr.Prine would of forgave the fact they have no taste in a certain music that can only be relatable cause we have common sense. Mr.Prine is a peacemaker like us. Smile...❤
Well my guess is those 7 have no joy at all in their lives..RIP JOHN we miss you
I like John Prine A LOT and this particular video a lot. And it is thanks to people like John Prine who inspire freedom for people to like or dislike what they want.
That’s the Conor that played #LandlockedBlues. I haven’t yet been able to follow #ConerOberst from #BrightEyes but there’s no mistaking that voice. I’m almost positive I heard him on am OST but the one I was pretty sure it’s from doesn’t list it & the 2nd choice doesn’t either. Perhaps it wasn’t credited on the OST but I know that’s where I heard it & why I’ve not yet been able to f/u. Good job & what an honor to have played WITH John Prine. How cool is that??! I see you’ve found success - I recall that song from SO long ago. You didn’t go unnoticed. ❤️
RIP John 😢😢
Tele man! Sometimes that's all ya need.
