JOHN PRINE BONNAROO 2010 ILLEGAL SMILE

[tinman5680]

John Prine is cool even if he only knows three chords

[Zsolto66]

This Martin suits him a lot better than the Gibson Jumbo he plays in other videos of the same show. I hope he will play and sing for many years to come, no matter what guitar :)

[skynyr]

[daveycard]

1 person has never had an illegal smile

[unitednihilists]

[NotoTruth]

this aint bout pot or acid...its bout it being illegal to be happy...when the world around you is misserable,it is illegal to smile....also heard "the great compramise' was bout the downfall of america in respects to the global stage,dont know bout that one though.

[Alaskangasmasken]

@NotoTruth lol no dude its about pot, trust me im sure i would know...

[michaelb5e2]

Joh Prine makes you proud to be a human, his songs will be played for the next 50 yrs or more

[JDAlvey]

I may only be 35, however I have been enjoying John since before I can recall. My folks were huge followers, and I can literally remember singing along with Illegal Smile, and Fish and Whistle at age 5. I have only become a bigger fan as the years have passed. John has influenced my musical taste my whole life. Makes me happy anytime I see or hear his words, changes my entire daily outlook. Thank you for posting.

[jjordanify]

@JDAlvey i'm only 35 too but i grew up on this stuff and just doesn't get any better than prine

[willc854]

[chrisnippard21]

1 person is deaf , dumb , blind and stupid !!

[AlSwearengen15]

John Prine was mostly before my time but I still think he is one of the best!

[im4out]

excellent........

[Callenge1]

Thanks for posting this, what a treat. I bought this album in 1970 not having a clue who he was or what he sounded like. This was the first song on the album and it, of course, set the hook.

I am kind of amazed that everyone knows the lyrics. I thought I was the only one to teach me children such---ahhhh, what was I saying?

[AstralFlood]

I decided to see Jeff Beck during this show. I think I may have made the wrong choice.

[cleats50]

One of the best. He was a mailman in the town I worked in circa 1976.

[deewkay1]

John can still rock the house.... It helps that everyone knows the song by heart... God Bless you John

[tasilium]

I have listened to John Prine my whole life, my father used to play this all the time. Now I plan on playing it for my kids....when i have some anyway lol.

[maxtumor]

Will be at the Fox in February, and so will John Prine, it will be a good night

[kristoballa23]

I was about five rows back from the front during this show. What a monster songwriter! My children will know who John Prine is!

[MattyCreed]

hells yeah, illegal smile. i'm rockin one right now :)

[mrvngrdns]

John Prine has given my wife and I 33 years of joy in our life with his wonderful music, and what bigger compliment can one human give another?

[jinal007]

Hey John, can't wait to sing along with you in February!

[StanHouk]

A perfect song for Bonnaroo.... Should be it's theme song....

[jmccullough]

Don't you wonder how many of the people in the audience know why the judge's name was Hoffman?

[kristoballa23]

@jmccullough I DOOOOOOOOO!!!! At that exact moment too. lol

[zupercalafragalistic]

@jmccullough i've always wondered about that! please inform us youngins

[MrBransonq]

@zupercalafragalistic it was a reference it judge juius hoffman who was the judge of the chicago 8 trial

[Spotlighter134]

By far one of the greatest american songwriters of our times....

[jemason3]

He may have slowed down alittle but noone and mean noone comes close. We love you Johnny keep giving us that illegal smile.
