Speaking of Classic Country (or US American folk singers whatever you wanna call ‘em) there is this from Jeremiah over at the HQ of American music + FLOPPY BOOT STOMP
JOHN PRINE - LIVE IN LAFAYETTE GA 2003 - Floppy Boot Stomp
It is only just lately I have been able to play John after his cruel and untimely death from COVID-19 one of the first public stars I noted who got hit and why I get so cross with the anti-vaccine nutjobs like Morrison and Clapton funding such shit whilst getting THEIR jabs
If we had caught it earlier we wouldn’t have lost MILLIONS to the pandemic! [yes it is, check the figures = 3 million in 2020]
John was one of those of whom we were robbed!
This is of course a late delight (2003) so thanks as always go out to Jeremiah and the boys at FBS and VW for posting all they do. I dedicate this triumphant concert to those guys over in Merka!

Visitor Dell dropped by and shared a link to this fine full set and concert from John over in Sweden on the 7th Feb ‘20. If anyone has links to the last gig on the 13th before John had to fly back home after contracting COVID we would appreciate it
Meanwhile here ’tis!

John Prine, Full show at Gävle Konserthus, Gävle Sweden, 7 February 2020
“ I put out this album last year, ‘Tree of Forgiveness’. My wife and son encouraged me to do a new one and I thought I’d done one about a couple of years back and it turns out it was 13 years ago. Anyway the album kinda took off. Don’t know why!” John Prine
Thanks for sharing, a sad loss who is sorely missed. I am still trying to track down John's last gig in Paris on Feb 13 before he flew back to the US. In the meantime, this link chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDQbmzYWYGo&t=1575saptures his 7 Feb appearance.
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Dell. I’ll look out for it. The guys at Voodoo Wagon and Floppy Boot Stomp are worth putting a word in with if your searching. I will have a look around myself
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the link and even more for dropping by to say ‘Hi!’
Thank YOOOOO!
Thanks for the name drop Andy, sharing the Youtube link, along with the call out for John's last live performance.
ReplyDeleteThe least I could do Dell. I spent a good part of yesterday listening and watching the concert you posted links to and despite his sitting throughout and clearly not being well physically that he can still sing and play for a two hour performance is astonishing! Staggering really! Lovely set
ReplyDeleteAlways welcome here
