On March 27th, Shout! Factory and Oh Boy Records releases John Prine Live On Soundstage 1980, the first archival DVD from the legendary, Grammy award-winning folk troubadour. The DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $19.98.
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.”
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.
John Prine Live On Soundstage 1980 is now available for pre-order at Amazon . As of yet, there is not a release date for the UK. Visit the DVD database for more information.
