John Prine Live On Soundstage 1980, the first archival DVD from the legendary, Grammy® award-winning folk troubadour.* The concert, which first aired in 1980 on the celebrated PBS concert show Soundstage, includes early classics such as “Angel From Montgomery” and “Hello In There,” as well as songs from Prine’s signature albums, Bruised Orange and Pink Cadillac. Intercut with the live performances is a sequence of interviews with Prine as he tours his childhood hometown of Maywood, Illinois, returns to the scene of “The Accident” and then to the back porch of his childhood home where he performs acoustic versions of "Paradise" and "How Lucky." Special guest, Sun rockabilly singer, Billy Lee Riley joins Prine on “No Name Girl” and “Red Hot.” John Prine Live On Soundstage 1980 is available for the suggested list price of $19.98.

John Prine has been writing, singing and recording music for over 35 years, from his self-titled debut album in 1971 to his recent Grammy Award-winning Fair And Square.* Discovered by Kris Kristofferson and covered by everyone from the Everly Brothers and Dwight Yoakum, 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.

Soundstage is a trendsetting live concert series that ran on PBS from 1974 to 1985. The revered show was recently revived by PBS with artists such as Tom Petty, Alison Krauss, Michael McDonald, Lucinda Williams, and many more. *Grammy Awards: 1991 Best Contemporary Folk Album for The Missing Year 2005 Best Contemporary Folk Album for Fair & SquarePerformancesAutomobile, Spanish Pipedream, Fish And Whistle, Angel From Montgomery, The Accident (Things Could Be Worse), Ubangi Stomp, Hello In There, Paradise, No Name Girl (featuring Billy Lee Riley), Red Hot (featuring Billy Lee Riley), Bruised Orange (Chain Of Sorrow), Saigon, How Lucky
