What a treasure! Damn I miss the 70’s! I had friends who were musicians and when we all got together we’d pass the guitar around and everyone would play and sing. I feel so blessed to have been around during the late 60’s and 70’s which was music like no other decades and will stand the test of time. We had talented musicians and poets who became icons. Steve Goodman and John Prine really complemented each other, Steve was a more accomplished musician but Prine was so simplistic and had the most unique sound and the greatest stories. After all these years John Prine’s music is with me everyday, on some of my darkest days all it takes is a Prine song to lift me up! God bless these two wonderful guys, I’m sure they are laughing, picking and entertaining gods angel band!
This is from Gene Shay's "Folklore" radio show on Sunday nights. I listened faithfully to Gene through several radio stations since pre-1970. How I miss that show! RIP Gene, Steve Goodman, and John Prine!
.... and one night a LONG time ago 2 MUSICAL LEGENDS got together on public radio and made MAGIC!!! may both of them rest in peace KNOWING the world was a better place because they were in it. :)
Some of us are old and still alive, our great American music, these guys are great, in 1969 some of us were in Vietnam, our world will always be a mystery.
Listening... It's putting a smile on my face, and a tear in my eye. Things sure are different today, and that too puts a smile on my face, and a tear in my eye. R.I.P. you two.
This is a fun show, especially having seen them 1 hour earlier in concert. I listened to this that night. They both played the Academy of Music earlier that night. It was in the club room in an intimate setting of round tables sparsely set about the room. I didn't even know who they were when I attended. It was a suprize and wonderful music. I came home and was just getting ready for bed. Gene Shay (I believe was the host from WMMR) intro'd these guys. I quickly threw a tape in and recorded the whole thing. I burned the tape out listening to it. I was a fan ever since. Rest in Peace John & Steve.
If indeed there IS a heaven, those two are there and tear’in it up and singing profound tunes about the wild trip 🎶. The beautiful part is the amazing music they created and left behind for all to cherish. Lessons to learn !
@@MichaelDoherty1981 Me too Mick. I got to know Steve pretty well when he came a few times to Athens, GA in the early ‘70s. He even came out to my house and jammed after the local coffee shop he was playing closed for the night. Sometime around ‘77 or so, Steve was playing in the Great Southeastern Music Hall in Atlanta one Saturday night. My wife and I went to see him and the three of us went to breakfast together at about 2AM. Steve was so talented and a truly nice guy. However, like the song says... I want to go to heaven, but I don’t want to go tonight.
Thank you for sharing this jewel❣️ I knew them from '71, knew all their songs., Steve's death was a gutpunch so young. I got to know John from his gigs in Dallas, jad him on my radio show, MC d a few shows. Always kind, unassuming, and sly humour.
I still have an extremely hard time believing you passed away. We have your music to hold onto but you will always be missed. My best to John's family and fans.
True MMR not WMR. There was actually a little spot on there with Jackson Browne saying it was WIOQ. Who knows? I know Gene Shay was on both stations. We both remember T. Morgan! His real name was T. Morgan O'Hora, and he was an English teacher in our high school in NJ.
Steve Goodman did a special show during the 1970’s for 3 or 4 years on Easter Sundays on WNEW-FM with Vince Scalis. After the station changed formats in the early 1980’s. Vince was given these tapes among others preserved the tapes but they weren’t in good shape. A technique was developed by 3M to revive the tapes and these were among the earliest tapes to go through this method. The result of this is the “Easter Tapes” that is available from Red Pajamas Records. I heard at least two of these shows live. Going up from the dinner to hear these shows in my room and enjoy it. Steve said that he was there to see his MIL, but I think he was there to have either treatments or checkup for his Leukemia. He was among the first to discover the positive effects of marijuana on the harsh effects of the treatments.
Good people who knew you better get it while you can do it with the people who have enough sense to smile, enjoy the blessings you need to do it ,in harmony

Classic. And heartbreaking. Such a blessing to hear it now! In those days, I was too concentrated on the words to realize what an excellent guitarist he was.
@@DirtyBob2001 Gene Shay wasn't an everyday DJ. He did a Folk show on Sunday nights. That is where I remember him most. FYI. I just drove thru Salfordville this morning.....and the local fire department has a sign out front stating that "the Folk Festival volunteer meeting has been cancelled". That is not a very good sign for the 2020 Folk Festival.

Perfect example of hidden music that used to take YEARS to find ,collect, and treasure. This is the history that can not be lost ever
What a duo these two were together. The world is a sadder place without them. But! Heaven must be having a good ol' time!
Thank you utube for publishing this golden gem. Does John's fans' hearts good. Keep them alive.

This is such a treasure to hear John and Stevie together. Hope they are back together again

I was at that concert. Never forget.

Love this two men excellent
This is great! 2 of my favorite songwriters. Glad I found this on my feed.
The 8 people that gave this a thumbs down could never be my friend.
I agree. The music isn't the same. Some of it is from the music industry being so closed to folk singers now. Having these recordings is really a gift
R.I.P John prine hope you have a fish and whistle in heaven your words blow me away
I keep digging, and I keep finding Gold!
With JP that is not difficult!
This Man and His 🎶 Music
Are National Treasures Truly 🇺🇸 American
I hope they had one hellva reunion Steve n John
greats hear john four times in Belfast ni ireland came here near the end of the troubles.Seve goodman i would loved to have heard live.
Wow! This is GOLD! Three legends sitting around talkin' pickin' and listenin' to each other. Thanks for sharing!
I still have an extremely hard time believing you passed away. We have your music to hold onto but you will always be missed. My best to John's family and fans.
It is WMMR. This was 42 years ago. It was a fine time had by all. Who remembers T. Morgan?

Amazing - thank you for broadcasting this on youtube. Its a gem..
Oh man I forgot about #191! He sang it at Harper College 1979.
Thank you for posting.
Friends who don't put pressure on the moment, laughing with the kids who aren't to tired of being themselves

Great recording of Steve! Good to hear Gene as a young man as well. Of course John Prine is priceless. BTW the station is WMMR. Check your title.
Just think most people will never hear this treasure.
Yes that is their loss
Hi the first song from this broadcast is John and Steve singing "How Lucky".
Good people who knew you better get it while you can do it with the people who have enough sense to smile, enjoy the blessings you need to do it ,in harmony
My grandpa was a carpenter.
Did he build houses, stores and banks?
@@shanephillips1730 No, mostly cabinets, although he built a boat that was put on the water one time.
Lucky enough to have caught John and Steve at the Mainpoint .
Sweet dreams good guys
Thanks Steve Yup 191 !!!!

They were lookin' for you, signin' up others
We were new Bob Dylans, your dumb ass kid brothers
Well, we still get together every week at Bruce's house

12:30 Would You Like to Learn to Dance? Steve Goodman.
Classic. And heartbreaking. Such a blessing to hear it now! In those days, I was too concentrated on the words to realize what an excellent guitarist he was.
Gene Shay......the WMMR DJ on this broadcast.... just passed from the COVID virus last Saturday.
Richard Mattaliano
Sad
I didn't even remember him being on MMR. I always associate him with XPN and the folk fest, which is where I saw John Prine play.

That’s a terrible shame..
@@DirtyBob2001 Gene was on WDAS, WIOQ, WMMR, WHYY, and WXPN> .
Just curious ... some 35 minutes in, Jackson Browne comes on for a station ID that it’s WIOQ. Either way, not like today’s commercial radio.
Steve was the Jewish Elvis but with more talent “

Is that Bruce Springsteen and Grace Slick at 9:15?
That's Springsteen, Carly Simon, JP and Dylan
@@tellyvt Thanks but er, are you sure?
That is indeed Bruce Sprinsteen and I believe Maria Muldaur who was good friends with Dylan from the Greenwich Village days. Her solo career was hot in the mid 70's. It is from the "Rolling Thunder Review" tour/era. Dylan was wearing that hat at the time.
@@myradioon Thanks
