DVD Reviews of John Prine Live On Soundstage 1980
DVD Review: Live Prine.
Summary: 5 Stars
The sound quality on this product is horrible -- BUT, there are so few John Prine videos available, that I am still extremely happy with the product. It's interesting to see a younger Prine performing - though he hasn't changed with age, except maybe to get better. Interesting glimpses through dialogue into the history of some of his best songs. Strongly recommend this product.DVD Review: Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw John Prine's Soundstage performance back in the day. I'm thrilled to have it in my collection.DVD Review: A great performance lost
Summary: 3 Stars
There are glimpses of the possibility of a great video of a great artist, but to my regret, most of it is lost in a very poor sound mix. There is only one other DVD of a Prine performance that I am aware of, so I purchased this with great expectations. Perhaps someone will "find" the sound and reissue this.DVD Review: NOT THE ESSENTIAL
Summary: 3 Stars
THE SOUND QUALITY IS POOR AND JOHN IS PLAYING AN ELECTRIC GUITAR DURING THE LIVE PERFORMANCES. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DVD IS WHEN HE IS SITTING IN HIS OLD BACKYARD IN MAYWOOD ILLINOIS SINGING AND TALKING ABOUT HIS OLD HOMETOWN AND HOW HE GOT THE IDEAS FOR SOME OF HIS SONGS. HE TAKES YOU ON A TOUR OF MAYWOOD IN AN OLD CAR. I CAN DIG THIS PART BUT THE LIVE TRACKS PRETTY WELL SUCK. I CAN SAY THIS BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN JOHN AROUND 7 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. PRINE IS AT HIS BEST WHEN HE IS ONSTAGE BY HIMSELF, ACCOUSTIC GUITAR BEING HIS ONLY INSTRUMENT. THE LOUD BAND FORMAT JUST DOESN'T WORK FOR ME. HE ALSO LOOKED LIKE HE WAS COPPING QUITE A BUZZ ALSO. BUY IT FOR THE DOCUMENTARY, BUT NOT FOR THE LIVE SET.DVD Review: You can't have poor sound quality with John Prine!!
Summary: 3 Stars
John Prine is a storyteller!! But if the sound is not clear, you miss too much. Other that poor sound quality, John Prine takes the viewer on a tour of his hometown in Maywood, Illinois. He drives around and points out the incidents in his life that prompted his lyrics. The concert stage performances are good.
A guest star Billy Lee Riley joins him onstage and doing an old hit, Red Hot. And there is a lot of music here, picture is clear, and I will reiterate.....without good sound, you do John Prine no justice!!
Try this great performance as Iris Dement joins John Prine. John Prine - Live from Sessions at West 54th

Description of John Prine Live On Soundstage 1980
A Classic Prine Performance On DVD For The First Time!For 35 years, John Prine has been writing, singing and recording amazing music. From his self-titled debut album in 1971 to his recent Grammy Award-winning Fair And Square, he is a true songwriting hero to his fans and peers. Discovered by Kris Kristofferson and covered by everyone from the Everly Brothers and Dwight Yoakam, to Bette Midler and 10,000 Maniacs, his original sound and affecting lyrics have given him a kind of stature and longevity uncommon in the music world.
John Prine's appearance on the prestigious PBS concert series Soundstage, offers his fans a real treasure. Included in his set list are the early classics "Angel From Montgomery" and "Hello In There," as well as songs from his signature album, Bruised Orange. We also get a rare and intimate look at John in his hometown of Maywood, Illinois, where he takes us to the actual scene of "The Accident," and then, to the back porch of his childhood home, where he performs "Paradise" and "How Lucky." All of this, plus performances with special guest Billy Lee Riley, document the authentic and natural genius of this singer-songwriter.
