John Prine: Regent's Park, London
John Tobler, NME, 31 July 1976
IT MUST have been a terrible choice between seeing John Prine (and perhaps Steve Goodman?) at Regent's Park, and checking out the first British gig by the McGarrigle Sisters down the road in Victoria. I opted for Prine, and I have no reason thus far to regret that choice.
