Customer Reviews

Excellent live album
First impression: remarkable, crystal-clear production! Somebody finally figured out how to record a decent live album. The rockers are clear as a bell and songs intended to be intimate come off as such. Notable funny moments in "Jesus: The Missing Years" and "Space Monkey"...where I laughed until it hurt. But the real corker is an absolutely brilliant, lead-off "Picture in a Picture Show". So John, when is it you are coming to Indy?

JOHN PRINE IS BEST EXPERIENCED LIVE
The music and wit of John Prine have always been things that are best expereinced in a live setting. While John's studio releases are always a pleasure, it's his live shows and storytelling that set him apart from the rest.

It's good to see that John won his recent fight with cancer and is back on the road. He is truly a songwriting legend.

If you can't see John live, this might be the next best thing. If you have seen his shows, then this new disc is a great reminder of just how powerful and enjoyable those shows were.

studio tracks sound even better live
This album shows that some artist need to be heard live to fully apreciate their music. What really sets this release apart is that the songs from "Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings": Quit Hollerin' at Me, Humidity Built the Snowman, and Lake Marie, are not just copied note for note, but are expanded on, and greatly improve on the studio recording. A must for all John Prime fans and a good introduction for those who may not yet be familure with his work.
