John takes us to the original scene of "The Accident," followed by a live performance of the song.
This clip is from the outstanding "JOHN PRINE LIVE ON SOUNDSTAGE 1980" DVD, released in March, 2007.
I highly recommend this DVD to all John Prine fans. Read more about the DVD at the John Prine Shrine:

The audio in this upload seems just a wee bit "hot." It's not that way on the DVD- another reason to go out and buy it instead of just watching clips on Youtube.

This song brings back a lot of memories. Me and my dad would go fishing all the time, well I would fish and he would get drunk. On the way home he would always sing this song.10 years ago

Back in the 60s, I listened to and loved Bob Dylan. As time goes by, though, he comes across as a pompous ass. John Prine can be nothing like that.11 years ago

I love this song and Illegal Smile. Both have that Prine humor. A little dark. And doncha just hate it when people say you don't know how lucky you are. If the wreck hadn't happened, THEN you're lucky.11 years ago

Prine is probably the best songwriter of my lifetime...(sorry, Dylan)... He wrote about real life and it's impact on the everyday man. He wrote 'Flag Decal' when Dylan was posturing about whether the war was wrong or right. Those who served undoubtably connected more with Prine's vision of what the war was doing to the young men who served.11 years ago

How'd you come up with that? The guy is writing a song. Many of John's songs are things that happened to him growing up.11 years ago

Absolutely LOVE this song by John, it reminds me of just what his message is about: small town gossip. Sucks to have grown up in a town like he described, but it taught me a lot about how people really are, and how good it feels to have gotten the thell out of there. May god bless you John Prine, if there is indeed such a thing.11 years ago

@ genegenegene1 do you have your name three times so you won't forget it? :) I am in Canada and why..... because I was born here! This man is awesome live. He came to Vancouver BC and I had the pleasure to attend his show. Bought the DVD after I watched this so now can listen and watch all.11 years ago

Having seen JP live many times over the years, he remains amused by the good lines, as if he's just written the song and is looking at the notebook, saying to himself: "Now that's a winner, I'm gonna go have a smoke and a beer..." Watch the bassist almost laugh, at about 3:40, after he's harmonized the "raped by a min-or-i-tee" line. That's the type of line that only JP can get away with, without coming off like an a-hole, 'coz it's the attitude of the people in the song, not his own.12 years ago

Something to do with copyright restrictions. YouTube wasn't asked to remove the video, only to make it unavailable in certain places, and I'm not really sure what that accomplishes.Related Videos
