Favorite moment: Stories I've heard before - but always get a chuckle. @
Opening act(s): Iris DeMent is a better duo than single - her traditional voice complimented John's. Alone her sound is a bit tinny. @

Featured Review
Prine's performance is always great if you have been a fan as long as we have. He played the old favorites - those we can all sing along too. His enthusiasm was infectious. You don't go to hear new tunes, although I'm excited about his new album. You go to reminisce, to see how many old timers and new fans enjoy the night. You go in awe of how anyone can put words together as artfully as John Prine does.

Venue was okay. Big auditorium. Not a lot of leg room. But, I prefer outdoor concerts, myself. Holland Williams opened, My wife liked her a lot. - she also came out and sang a couple with John Prine at the end of the concert. The audience was loud and into it. Great atmosphere. Now Johnny put on a helluva show - one of the best, if not the best concert I've ever seen.

I was not familiar with John Prine but accompanied a group of musicians from around the state. I was told I would enjoy the show and I certainly did. His music tells a story. The audience was so very engaged and enthusiastic. I thanked my friends for encouraging me to go.

See John now! He still has the wit and craziness after all these years and every song tells a story. The musical talent of John, Dave Jaques and Jason Wilber is phenominal. You could just listen to them play all night on the various guitars and instruments alone! Jason is a new face to me in the music business--his talent shines!
Holly Williams has music in her bones being from the Hank Williams family. She has a wonderful voice and her music comes from her heart....stories told with more to come in her career.

I've seen JP every time he's been in Morgantown, I've been listening to his music for over 30 years. He always has the best opening acts (Holly Williams and her husband were really great too) and his back-up musicians were the best. He gets so much sound out of three players, it's amazing. This was a beautiful performance, I loved every minute of it.

It was very nice to attend a concert where you could actually understand about 90 percent of the words from Prine because he did not have a back-up band that overpowered his voice. The majority of the audience was well behaved, but the few who feel it is a good idea to shout out are annoying. It was much harder to understand what Holly Williams sang because she too often swallowed her microphone and was overpowered by the guitar. She could learn something about enunciation from Prine. I think the WVU announcer should have reminded people at the beginning and maybe also at the start of the Prine section that taking photographs is prohibited. There were signs about this, but apparently people think that doesn't apply to them, and it is annoying to others.

Not your typical Prine show as he reaches back several decades to play songs off the line up for well over 15 years. In a theater as iconic and beautifully sculpted as Mr. Prine he laid into a set that traveled like a fine Cuban or Moonshine made by Popcorn himself. If you get the chance go see John Prine you will be in for a evening of many stories that turn into songs.

John delivered an amazing performance in Monterey the other day. This is maybe the 5th time we have attended his concert and we were thrilled to see him again. I especially like John's easy manner on stage. He continues to delight himself as well as his audience! He is such a classic - never goes out of style.
Back up music was awesome. There were 2 guys, one older guy on base and guitar and one young guy who played several different guitars, mandolin, harmonica and more. The younger guy also sang back up as well. What a talented guy. I believe his name was Jason. Kudos to him.
I wish the opening act had been Iris DeMent. I love her and attended her awesome solo performance in SF a number of years back....after having seen her with John at the Fillmore in SF. I didn't much care for the opening act. It was ok but forgettable - too much guitar tuning between songs!!!!

John Prine is the real deal. He played for 2 hours straight - even while his very competent band members took a break. Amazing show - what an honor to see him perform a selection from his amazing body of work. He gives 110% in his performance and does not disappoint. When he first comes out on stage, it's obvious he has lived a "full life" and has the weathered look to show it - but once he starts performing - the years melt away and you see a youthful soul completely and utterly in his element.
