We saw John Prine at Red Rocks last night with Kacey Musgraves. In ten years of seeing Prine shows, this was maybe the best. He was in his usual good spirits, played and sang well, and his band killed it. A highlight -- something I've not seen him do before -- was bring up a bunch of family members to sing "Paradise" for the finale. His wife and Musgraves singing, his son Tommy singing and playing guitar, his nephew on guitar, and Pat McLaughlin's son on electric guitar.
Prine played several guitars, including a new Prine signature Martin, which he joked would make good kindling.
I'm a Kacey Musgraves fan after last night, too. In addition to singing three songs with him during his show, she closed out her opening set with this one:

An excellent night under the Colorado stars.
