Saw Prine for the first time ever. His voice was surprisingly strong, his guitar playing and the musicianship of his band were excellent. He played a mixture of new and old songs and there wasn't a down note in the entire show. He has a presence that makes you think you're listening to him play in your living room.
Venue, The Sony Centre was sold out, the sound was good, and suited Prine's show.
Would recommend anyone of any musical taste to check him out.

FIVE STARS WITH AN ASTERICK
I was very pleased with Prine's performance; he worked hard, hit some emotion
buttons, and fronted a crackerjack, I mean REALLY professional band.
But the sound sucked. The bass sounded like one note, tubby, distorted, superloud,
continous, non distinct blarring BLAT that detracted from hearing Prine. Did the sound person ever hear a Prine LP? Did he or she do a soundcheck? Does he or she know what distortion is? No respect for the star or the audience.

JOHN PRINE IS STILL A FORCE OF NATURE
I've made it a point in my life to see/hear John Prine whenever I can. All the superlatives
have already been used, but I'll stick with my favorite: he is an American Treasure. I
mean, a man who can rhyme "Illinois" with "corduroy" is automatically a genius. In my
book, anyway.
Last night's show at The Schnitz in Portland was epic. I tried to go in without
expectations. John's been seriously ill and really has to pay attention to conserving his
voice. I didn't know what to think. But my fears were groundless. His voice was strong
and as expressive as it's ever been.
The band was nimble and dynamic, never overbearing. The harmonies were tight and
the solos were extraordinary. Jason Wiber was the featured guitarist and Dave Jacques
played bass. The guy who played fiddle, mandolin, pedal steel, and guitar was amazing.
I'm embarrassed because I can't remember his name.
I hope John comes around again. I will definitely show up.

MR. MELLOW WITH LOTS OF CURBED SPUNK
Same old, Same old wonderful John Prime.
Brought back the old to get it stimulating and
introduced the new to continue to believe in his
music. I like the toned down spunk as it
contained his true mellow soul. His dance
toward the end of the show was priceless a soul
dance (even though I am sure not spontaneous,
wonderful nevertheless).

SOUVENIRS
I came to see John in remembrance of my older brother that died 2 years ago, He was a
working musician until mental illness claimed his life. He came off tour one time and gave me
a copy of Diamonds in the Rough. He told me, “Since you like Springsteen and Mellencamp,
you need to listen to this guy,” I happily obliged and never looked back.
I wished he had been here to see Mr. Prine last night. I still listen to “Missing Years” much to
the chagrin of many around me that don’t get it. I know that my brother resides down the
block inside at 23 Skidoo. I can visit him whenever I listen to John.
I saw his face and felt his spirit when John sang “Souvenirs.” It was a good show. I cried and
walked back into the world not knowing quite where it would lead me.

IN CINCINNATI
Seeing John for the third time. It still brings
me back to the first time I was turned onto
him in 1979 in the barracks in Germany
when I was in the Army from my friend from
Detroit. I loved his music then, and even love
it more now. Almost 40 years later. There will
never be another John Prine .

PRIME PRINE!! (AGAIN)
Been a longtime fan, and I was excited to drive the 4+ hours from my
home in Wilmington NC to Norfolk to attend this show. I really didn't
expect the vigor of the old days, but the show Mr. Prine put together
was simply stellar. His piano, bass, mando players --- everyone was
spot on and nobody ran over anyone else (which is nice, especially
when you have an electric on stage!).. So on to the music. Mr. Prine
came out with some oldies mixed with the Tree of Forgiveness cuts,
and really captured the essence of his soul with 'Come On Home',
'Tree of Forgiveness' and the rest. His solo numbers, with no band
backup, were wonderful, and his last number, 'Paradise', an oldie
from his breakout album, frankly brought tears to my eyes as I
remember pounding on my $100-dollar Alvarez back in the day....
This is a MUST-SEE event for anyone interested in Americana music.
