John Prine: I gave Dylan one of the first pressings of the record. Two weeks later I played my first gig ever outside of Chicago. I was playing with David Bromberg and Steve Burgh and [Steve] Goodman, but I needed a harmonica player. I asked if there was anyone around. Now, this is only my second night, and Dylan comes up. He had brought a harmonica and learned the words to all the choruses of my songs. I introduced Dylan, and about two people were clapping. No one believed it. They thought Dylan was either dead or on Mount Fuji.“ (Clinton Heylin: Bob Dylan. Behind the Shades. p.335p.)
Michael Gray: Bob Dylan’s direct connection with Prine came in 1972, when Dylan was scuffing around avoiding doing anything much in his own right. Prine was playing a solo gig at the Bitter End in the Village that September 9th and Dylan came quietly on stage, unannounced — and from Prine’s point of view, somewhat disconcertingly, perhaps — and played harmonica and sang back-up vocals on three numbers. There is no circulating tape (perhaps none extant) of this performance, and the first song Dylan augmented remains unidentified; then came ‘Donald and Lydia’ and finally ‘Sam Stone’. What a gig to have caught. (Michael Gray: Bob Dylan-Encyclopedia)
