PRINE,JOHN - New York 1978

Broadcast live by King Biscuit on July 11th 1978, this superb performance from the now tragically late John Prine recorded at the Bottom Line Club in New York’s Greenwich Village, several years into the man’s career, is among his finest ever shows. His debut album had been released to huge critical acclaim, albeit somewhat modest sales (reaching only 153 on Billboard), in 1971 on the Atlantic label. Featuring such legendary numbers as ‘Hello in There’ and ‘Angel From Montgomery’ (versions of both are featured) it was voted into Rolling Stone’s All Time Greatest 500 Albums list in 2003.
