I used to see Prine and Koloc and others at the Earl back in the day. Shortly before Goodman died he did a show at Harper College where he wore a Cubs cap while he sang the final song of the night : “A Dying Cubs Fans Last Request”. As he finished the song he tossed the cap into the audience and I still have that cap!

Loved John Prine and Steve Goodman both. RIP to both. Miss them. Miss their humor. Great gentlemen ❤❤🎶🎶🎸🎸

I have been a massive fan of John prine for over half a century, my wife and I have seen him many times , and I miss him something awful.

I think John and Steve were equally fantastic in their own ways. Miss them both.

Best closing down the bar song ever.

Legendary John Prine never got the recognition he deserved

And smiling an illegal smile 😎

Two of my early heros... Chicago's own!...lucky to have seen them both a time or two

If songs were put in the registry of national historical monuments this would be in it and never allowed to be removed from youtube.

As a very dear friend used to say, this ,listening to these two beautiful human beings singing together makes me feel so happy sad.

Every true country fan knows this song. It has played in every honky tonk across the U.S.

CLASSIC, in every sense of the word. Love you both.

John's look of pure admiration to Steve was so real. Steve was a better player, talked more, and had a better voice. But Steve knew that John was the more profound talent, so did more to promote John than anybody. John gave Steve homage after singing Souvenirs in every show until the end of his life. Now, both gone, and the world will not replace them. The best of Illinois and the best of the US.

This version is wholesome AF

In 1978 I went to see Steve Martins' Wild & Crazy Guy tour in Dallas. Steve Goodman came out as the unannounced warm up act. I had seen a few shows on PBS with Goodman, and was very pleasantly surprised to see Him. I felt like I was the only one there who knew who he was. Everyone was there to see crazy Steve Martin, not some unknown singer, and yet within a few songs His incredible charismatic stage presence had them in the palm of His hand. It was very impressive, and He did a very entertaining 30 min set. I'll never forget it, He made such a impact in His too short life. A few years later Steve Martin came on the Johnny Carson show and mentioned that He was doing a fund raising show to benefit Goodmans' wife and kids. I didn't know He was sick, or that He died. It was a shocking blow to hear. You feel so robbed when someone could have had a long career is abruptly gone. So sad. At least His music remains.

We were blessed with their presence. I sure hope when John got to heaven that he Did start a band...God willing let them play.

I 😊still consider myself so very fortunate to cut my musical teeth in a city where one or both of these guys featured weekly live on my radio’❤

Thank you. I can't tell you how this has touched my heart.

I spose they're singing this together again.

I love these two. They are geniuses.

Pure Gold

Wonderful, what more can you say. 7:34

It was interesting to hear the original wording before DAC changed it.

Gorgeous.

Two geniuses. Miss them both.

You don't have to call me darling unless you are Denver Darling one of them singing cowboys after 2and WW. One of my friend was his daughter. I tried to convince her the song was about Denver Darling. He wrote chop chop cha boogie and still got royalty checks.

San Judas Tadeo John Prine
