  • The best! John Prine, you are the best!!! Thank you!!

  • Down the highway....

    

  • I thought it odd that not a soul has posted here in 2 years. So I took care of it.

    All hail JP

  • @shaptula4 Huh? I see lots of post here before yours and less than two years.

  • What does the audience member yell at 0:47 ?

  • Disliked cause of mislabeling

  • this is not illegal smile but it was a pleasant surprise, love this...love you John

  • Not only is J.P. one of the best song writers, He is a pretty damn good picker too..

  • WOW SIMPLE AS WWWWOOOOOOEEEEEE

  • we love Prine--check out CHRIS HOLLY Mary (stripper song) on youtube

  • This aint Illegal Smile yo

  • come to newfoundland

  • jp comes to bham al most every year. please dont stop, either. we love ya down here! thx 4 the post of the vid.

  • In my humble opinion, the greatest American songwriter, and that includes you Mr. Dylan.

  • @mrvngrdns agree

  • I'm glad to hear such an enthusiastic audience. Mr. Prine deserves to know how much people appreciate him and love his music.

  • it starts with a different song then we get stoned

  • I don't know what this song is, but it isn't Illegal Smile..

  • Johnny - you are *the man* -- if you'd known me in my fightin' years, i'd've had a chance....long may you rule!!!!

  • i like beer and weed but honestly weed is so much less harmful and I have never gotten sick from smoking weed and I have had hangovers from beer that were insane.

  • This is my dads and uncles favorate song

  • The crowd sounds like they were having a blast ,prine in the mountains had to have been a blast! peace from the bluegrass :}~

  • great writer !

  • Great performance, thanks for posting. Does anyone know the name of the first song???

  • audio could be better for such a great song

  • Had to sing-along with everyone.

  • But fortunatelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyy

  • seriously! studio some1

  • This is more than wonderful. Familiarities in the piece resonate. I love this, it's so heartwarming.

  • He best friend in music and life thought he was the best song writer... And do we miss him, who else but Steve Goodman...

  • John Prine is the Woody Guthrie of our time.

    He hasn't received the recognition and money he deserves. But, then, neighter did Woody Guthrie.

  • carousel of love what a song, classic American "tell it like it is" song writing.

  • Legalize.

  • 3:20 minnutes 3:55 minnutes :

    4:20 minutes 6:18 minnutes:

  • can someone please put the studio version up?

  • deal with it. it's all right.

  • @TheThroney yea because rerecorded, edited and changed music is so much better than the real deal. Live > studio

  • @BobStoopsHatesJesus i just wanted to hear that version again

  • @BobStoopsHatesJesus Oh I'd much rather hear drunkards butcher a song.

  • I agree , the studio version is much better ! This is pretty good. He is a fantastic Writer

  • @TheThroney  I agree, he's a fantastic writer, the studio version is always better

  • @TheThroney -- Hi there I have great news for you as far as the studio version, it can be heard EVERY saturday night on WNCX 98.5 where the GREATEST HOUSE PARTY with MrClassic airs. The song is heard around 7:03 pm as the second song for an entire five hours ending with our very own MAGGOT BRAIN. Hey Cleveland Rocks and John Prine is awesome in this one. Have a great day or night.
