This was the second time I saw John Prine.....first time was at an outdoor folk festival in the 1970's. Without doubt the best concert I have seen...he is better in person and played for 2 hours, nonstop. Prine never goes out of style!

This is belated, but since I bought the (Fair & Square) CD, and I found out that "On the Other Side of Town," was actually recorded from this show, I thought I'd go ahead and say I was there. It was an incredible venue. The whole time I felt like I was in church (possibly because we were in pews), but there's nothing wrong with that. I'm happy I got to be there, and on the album (even though I was being silent, I still consider myself on the album). "Pretty Good," "Memphisto," and "Flag Decal" still stand out in my mind to this day..6 months later.

My sister bought the tickets for my birthday. Been a fan my whole life, but never as much as after hearing the songs live. can only be described as an awesome performance. Enjoyed the stories just as much as the music. Never seen a better performance.

I am a 22-year old girl from a small town in Ontario, and I have to say, this was the best concert I have ever been too!! I was only introduced to John Prine a couple months prior to the concert and I was amazed when I saw the concert...front row even!! John, I think your songs have some of the best lyrics and humour ever written. I just love your music. I want you to know that the song, "In spite of ourselves" with Iris DeMent, has become the official camping song in my part of the woods! It's just so fun to sing!!! Thanks for the music, KIM
