A Classic Prine Performance On DVD For The First Time!For 35 years John Prine has been writing singing and recording amazing music. From his self-titled debut album in 1971 to his recent Grammy Award-winning Fair And Square he is a true songwriting hero to his fans and peers. Discovered by Kris Kristofferson and covered by everyone from the Everly Brothers and Dwight Yoakam to Bette Midler and 10000 Maniacs his original sound and affecting lyrics have given him a kind of stature and longevity uncommon in the music world.John Prine's appearance on the prestigious PBS concert series Soundstage offers his fans a real treasure. Included in his set list are the early classics "Angel From Montgomery" and "Hello In There" as well as songs from his signature album Bruised Orange. We also get a rare and intimate look at John in his hometown of Maywood Illinois where he takes us to the actual scene of "The Accident" and then to the back porch of his childhood home where he performs "Paradise" and "How Lucky." All of this plus performances with special guest Billy Lee Riley document the authentic and natural genius of this singer-songwriter.Performances:AutomobileSpanish PipedreamFish And WhistleAngel From MontgomeryThe Accident (Things Could Be Worse)Ubangi StompHello In ThereParadiseNo Name Girl (featuring Billy Lee Riley)Red Hot (featuring Billy Lee Riley)Bruised Orange (Chain Of Sorrow)SaigonHow LuckyFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS Rating: NR UPC: 826663103625 Manufacturer No: 10362

A great sounding show and excellent performance from all involved, heart-wrenching at times and belly-laugh inducing at others.
The DVD authoring isn't fancy but it all works.
Great performance - poor quality disc April 3, 2007

This is vintage Prine and I was definitely excited when I saw the announcement of the DVD release. However the video quality of the copy I bought is extremely poor with excessive dropout and lots of video noise. I've had a copy of this program which was recorded off the air on VHS 25 years ago and the quality is as good as this official DVD release.
FINALLY!! April 12, 2007

I saw this soundstage show when it first aired in 1980 and loved it. His backup band with John Burns is fantastic. My only disappointment with this dvd is that the sound quality is good but not great, so it might not get played as much as I'd like. i recognize that it's 27 years old, but as a comparison, Neil Young's Live at Massey Hall is 36 years old and that sound quality is fantastic. Go figure. Still a thumbs up and all true Prine fans should have it in their library.
Perfect April 6, 2009

I saw John Prine's Soundstage performance back in the day. I'm thrilled to have it in my collection.
 A great performance lost February 1, 2009

There are glimpses of the possibility of a great video of a great artist, but to my regret, most of it is lost in a very poor sound mix. There is only one other DVD of a Prine performance that I am aware of, so I purchased this with great expectations. Perhaps someone will "find" the sound and reissue this.
