From the DVD "Live on Soundstage 1980," John Prine plays "How Lucky" with John Burns. This is a terrific DVD if you are a John Prine fan. John Prine's site: www.ohboy.com/
I found John when I was in high school and he's been with me for over 40 years. How lucky can one man get? Indeed...Rest in peace, John, I already miss you...
I've watched this a million times. Sitting in the backyard of your boyhood home with a good friend, drinking a few beers and playing some good music. How lucky can one man get?
What a blessing to have been in a universe that had a John Prine. His music made me pick up a guitar and find my voice. God bless, Mr. Prine, you're a treasure!
alwaysomething@gmail.com that’s awesome!! I’m from NL livin in Alberta and been listening to and playing his music a long time. Seen him a few times too. God love him and the joy he’s brought to this world. Peace and health to him as he fights this virus
My older brother in law used to play John Prine records when I was a young boy.. I use to always wonder why he played that stuff. As I grew older I began to understand why. I'm 56 this year, and John is probably the music I play most. I completely get it now.
"How lucky" I am that I discovered John Prine when I was 23 back in 1973 and he taught me to live inside my head with my illegal smile and where I am my own best friend.
Can't believe this song is that old. I got turned on by Prine in just the last 5 years or so. Never paid that much attention to his music, but I appreciate him now so much! Wish I would have seen him play live back in the day.
damn, Im 60 yrs old, and its been years since I've thought about John Prine....spent the last 24 hrs listening to his music which I loved (and love) so much. Dude don't mind tellin it true, like it or not. Just hat I lost touch for so long. GO JOHN PRINE
It's great how John has the confidence have someone pick with him who's technically a better player, coz he knows he's the big dog here. John Burns is very deferential, as he is when they play Paradise in another part of this video. I think of John as the Mark Twain of our lives.
This was originally the only way I could hear this song after finding him through Colbert Report. RIP John. I've never been this gutted by a celebrity death before.
My buddy used to play his songs back in college. I always liked them. The 40 years later he passed and only then did I decide to really check him out. Kicking myself now. What a treasure.
I've been a John Prine fan all my life since I was just a baby. I even got one of his CDs for my birthday. the album i got was from 1991 its the Missing Years. He has been an influence in my life by the music he plays. didn't even know there were so many Prine fans out there
"I wondered if I wanted to do that for the next 30 or not. I finally decided, what the heck, I might as well." Thanks for making that decision, John. Thirty years later, we all still love ya.
I too hadn't listened to John Prine in many moons. Then I found these wonderful songs again. John could make a song smooth as velvet. With lyrics and a Melody that just hits you to the core. A Great American Songwriter. Authentic. A rare treasure.
Got to see John in Davis, CA last November a few months before the plague took him away and turned the world upside down in so many other ways. I was a fan of his since I first heard Sam Stone on KZAP radio so many years ago I can hardly believe it. Rest In Peace old friend, your songs live on.
I cannot find words to describe the dept of my love for John Prine's artistry and insights. It will always be a true regret that I never had the opportunity to see and hear him perform live. I know some day when I hear him, I won't be sad, but these days I still smile when I hear him, but then smile turns upside down.
Johnny Burns A guitar driven singer/songwriter with a flair for the humorous and odd. "Johnny was my partner in crime, putting my touring and recording band together, writing songs with me and recording three albums with me as well. One of my oldest friends and favorite guitarists." - John Prine
Wow. I never heard the song until the Tree of Forgiveness. Just heard him sing it at the Opry House in Nashville on New Year's Eve. It's been stuck in my head for months. LOVE IT
When I'd play one of his songs (espec. Sam Stone or (surprise) Christmas In Prison, some one person would always say, "who is that??". That must have happened so many times across the usa and the world since. What a great legacy and an eternal gift. God Bless John Prine (and Steve Goodman, and Johnny Cash, RIP.) jaslinc1
"Prime Prine" was a great way of introducing yourself to his music! I learned to play guitar by listening to his records and in recent years tried to thank him for that, but I don't think my message ever actually reached him.
I found John during the pandemic. Don't recall him being a big deal here in the UK although I'm sure many others knew of him. So sorry I missed him during my growing years.
Wow..you can pick Sir...my favourite sound in music...hope you enjoyed embellishing more beauty on those beautiful songs and fleshing out John Prines music!
@jordanthecat Same here. I found John Prine fall of '73 and it was a perfect fit. I had been playing guitar a while but not musically talented. Then John Prine revealed what I had been missing. His music, his words, his heart. Dylan (called him the best songwriter on the scene) and Prine were all I ever needed.
So true. A buddy of mine, a die-hard Stones and AC/DC fan, listened to a Prine CD I'd burned for him a number of years ago, and has since become a huge John Prine fan.
I've seen John in concert many times over the years, but I don't recall ever hearing him play this song. I can't understand why really, because it's such a great song.

if your are a musician God bless you...cause. you realize the magic you possess when you can bridge the gap playing for people from other countries who dont speak english but they love American musicians. Prines songs can do that.
Hot afternoon day at Red Rocks, Prine opened for the Avett brothers. Should have been the other way around. Prine is a legendary artist and Avetts are popular now see if you heard of them in 2040! To their credit, they did acknowledge Prine's greatness, but promoter went for the cash money!
colbert bump ...:) Today I walked down the street I use to wander Yeah, shook my head and made myself a bet There was all these things that I don't think I remember Hey, how lucky can one man get. I bronzed my shoes and hung from a rearview mirror Bronzed admiration in the blind spot of regret There was all these things that I don't think I remember Hey, how lucky can one man get.

Crying my eyes out

I found him after he passed away. I had heard him but wasn’t that familiar with his music. I wish I had listened to her long ago too!

I’m fine is without question the most poetic mailman that has ever walked the Earth
Took me over 60+ years to find him, how lucky can one man get?
Song brings a tear to my eye,75 Vietnam vet,I've lost alot ,but gained more.

R.I.P. The best singer/songwriter that has ever lived.
One of them. There are many.
@@richardperkins5046 ok Richard, there is also Bob Dylan & Greg Brown & Bill Bourne. Did I miss anyone? 😉
@@sharpcanines3347 How about Gordon Lightfoot for 1.
@@richardperkins5046 A Canadian tresure, Gordon Lightfoot.
@@richardperkins5046 I’m guessing you’re Canadian., lol! Gordon is amazing but he simply does not occupy the same time zone as JP

I discovered John thanks to the how lucky duet with Kurt Vile only last fall. I will keep exploring the Prine song treasure for the rest of my life..
I was 10 in '73 when I first heard John Prine. Sold, sealed and delivered forever...

One of the best songwriters of all time is Mr. Prine.

"Mark Twain of our lives." I just love that. Great observation.
Always fun to play one on one with John. Great grooves. - J Burns
John Burns yer no slouch tho :-) Do you still perform in Chicago?
+roger strukhoff No, I live in Albuquerque now and play with John once a year or so. Not sure how I lost that cushy gig!
John Burns Once a year is better than zero! I have a good friend in Santa Fe, so maybe I can hear you play sometime out there in NM.
This was originally the only way I could hear this song after finding him through Colbert Report. RIP John. I've never been this gutted by a celebrity death before.

I just can’t get enough of this guy, John Prine you are absolutely awesome. You are loved by many and I love you too!
John Prine gets to the heart of the matter, in just 3 or 4 minutes and you wind up humming the tune all day. RIP John Prine

John Prine was a national treasure
What a beautiful soul John Prine was. I found about him I think in around 1985, it was like striking gold
I too hadn't listened to John Prine in many moons. Then I found these wonderful songs again. John could make a song smooth as velvet. With lyrics and a Melody that just hits you to the core.
A Great American Songwriter. Authentic.

What a treat to listen to John Burns with John Prine. Great guitar work....simply beautiful.

A tear just dripped onto my ice cream cone
I love this cat. His music has gotten me through some tough times for sure.

I'm one of if not the only people in the UK my age to have heard this version of this song. How lucky can one man get
not just you . . . . at least 40 years agooooo for me!!
Helped me out again John, and great pickin from John Burns. RIP.
May God bless Mr. Prine! Rest in PARADISE!! 🙏
chills, every time

Love this. Outstanding picking.
Smoking’ good
My favourite John Prine song is often the one I’m listening to by John Prine

by far one of my favorite songs... this song sums up life.. way to go john
"Prime Prine" was a great way of introducing yourself to his music! I learned to play guitar by listening to his records and in recent years tried to thank him for that, but I don't think my message ever actually reached him.
.
Another UK fan, you helped me out again John. RIP.
I’m pretty lucky I was alive while John was. He’s a beautiful soul
Age doesn't mater. Growing matters. I love John's songs.
Fab guitar work.
A truly amazing song. I watched this about 100 times, with no exaggeration. Another Prine song to play, just wish I could pick.
I just wished I would have got to know John Prine and his songs much earlier when I was spending a lot of time in the US. But, better late than never
This is pure heaven. JP at his best. I miss him already.
RIP John Prine. We lost a great one today. 4-7-2020
I sure miss this guy,there will be no other.Peace John.xo
Such an ache in my heart.every time I hear your songs the world lost a great man rip john .we miss you greatly.

Yes indeed, our modern day Mark Twain.
How lucky can we get to listen to this great cut. Thanks.
MTV Unplugged never had him? What an utter loss. Remember, this unplugged acoustic is 1980, a full 10 years before MTV Unplugged.
How lucky am I met by finding this song at this poignant time in life.
I've seen John in concert many times over the years, but I don't recall ever hearing him play this song. I can't understand why really, because it's such a great song.
From the first song I ever heard (Paradise, in 1974) he has been an anchor. And he still is.
He was so special. An awesome artist.
Colbert was awesome enough to have Mr. John Prine on his show
It was clear to me that Stephen was totally in awe of John Prine, for excellent reason.
Awesome Lyrics!!! ❤ Love this song!!! ❤ His unique voice is captivating and he reminds me of Blaze Foley another unique singer, song writer I love!
They were friends
Saw him 11 times. It was not enough.
Wow I got to have this. I have seen him 2 times in the past 10 years. Wonderful, just wonderful!!!!!!!
This just stabs me right in the heart
My favorite songwriter for sure.
He helps me through alot. Bless his soul.
My daily dose of John prime.love this man and his music.you are missed🌹🌹🥰
I think that John's lyrics are among the best in the world
What a sweet and nostalgic video.

RIP John Prine
They sure sounded great together...Some righteous pickin'....
Man!!! That gets me every time Thanks
thanks for finding this classic vid!
Found John Prine from the movie Dog, great soundtrack to that movie, this song comes on at the opening, love it
Hot afternoon day at Red Rocks, Prine opened for the Avett brothers. Should have been the other way around. Prine is a legendary artist and Avetts are popular now see if you heard of them in 2040! To their credit, they did acknowledge Prine's greatness, but promoter went for the cash money!
❤ I love this.
King Prine! Holding court. Would that we were all born with his brain chemistry. 😂
Play him when you're feeling down, he certainly wasn't.
Watched the movie dog and this song is at the start. I honestly love it when it comes to doggos we are lucky when it comes to them.
I miss you John Prine!!!! Forever fan
You've introduced me to a lot of music I'd never heard before, thanks to TH-cam!
So awesome.
RIP John we all miss you dearly.
I love John Prine
I cant believe hes from maywood Illinois.
I robably passed by his house a thousand times
what a talented mind./ all those songs
That wandering leg makes me laugh and want to watch him play "Lake Marie" next. Years and years of loving John Prine.
God Bless John Prine
So sweet.
I swear I will learn to play that riff one day
colbert bump ...:)
Today I walked down the street I use to wander
Yeah, shook my head and made myself a bet
There was all these things that I don't think I remember
Hey, how lucky can one man get.
I bronzed my shoes and hung from a rearview mirror
Bronzed admiration in the blind spot of regret
There was all these things that I don't think I remember
Hey, how lucky can one man get.
What God given talent
Last concert I heard was John Prine few years back in Ohio.
This rendition outshines the version on 'Pink Cadillac'.
