Description:
The legendary Man In Black’s performance on the Austin City Limits TV show is now available on DVD, with added songs that were not included in the TV broadcast. The DVD also features a duet with June Carter Cash. From "Ring Of Fire" to "I Walk The Line", this amazing DVD will be a must have for Cash fans and a great introduction for new fans. Also available on CD.

Johnny Cash was a consummate professional during good times and bad, and this complete, uncut 50-minute set from the long-running PBS concert series Austin City Limits shows the Man in Black in fine form, recorded at a time (January 3, 1987) when his career was in a state of uneasy transition. Despite the success of his 1985 album Highwayman, Cash had been dropped by Columbia, his label of 28 years, and one can sense a hint of weariness in this otherwise-fine performance. As evident by the warm, enthusiastic audience, this eclectic gig also hints at the personal and professional revival that Cash would enjoy in his later years with producer Rick Rubin. Like many of Cash's typical tour gigs, this one opens to the familiar strains of "Ring of Fire," and includes a handful of hits ("Folsom Prison Blues," "I Walk the Line," "Long Black Veil") along with a few rarities thrown in for good measure. Recommended to Johnny by Kris Kristofferson, a cover of John Prine's heartbreaking song "Sam Stone"--about the travails of a heroin-addicted Vietnam veteran--proves to be a perfect fit for Johnny (and a personal favorite), although Johnny (ever the devout Christian) changes the lyric "Jesus Christ died for nothin', I suppose" to "Daddy must have suffered a lot back then, I suppose," while retaining the song's sad, tragic tone. Cash then follows with a crowd-pleasing rendition of "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky," and his devoted wife, June Carter Cash, joins Johnny on "Where Did We Go Right?," a song by David Loggins (newly recorded at the time) that serves as a fitting tribute to the Cashes' long-term marriage. Johnny Cash considered this to be one of his finest TV performances, and considering this DVD's superior sound quality, recorded in an intimate setting, who are we to argue? --Jeff Shannon

This is my favorite concert DVD. Johnny is so upbeat, and you can tell he is happy! He is playful, throws kisses to the audience and pokes his trumpet player as he is leaving the stage. You can tell he is happy in his life, with June and his life is good. One of his concerts, I think it was this one but maybe not, he says he has had so many good times, he has forgot the bad. "I cant remember the bad times" he says. What a wonderful way to live your life. He was a lucky man. He loved June with all ... Read More

What a great DVD! Johnny and his band are in fine form, running through an excellent mix of Cash hits and covers, captured in very good audio and video. What really comes through is the relaxed attitude sitting on top of nearly infinite confidence and power. This is American music at its finest, delivered as only Johnny could. We miss you, John, rest in peace.

I spent 6 months in Mendota at Clinch Mt. and talkeds to all the Cashes. They have all been throught lifes trials and came out with Jesus as their Lord. No one who loves people and music should be without this D.V.D. Dave Nicholson

I bought this dvd and instantly fell in love with Johnny all over again. The songs "Let him Roll" and "Sam Stone" were worth the price of admission alone, for me. June joins in later and the couple crank out a heartfelt performance. And of course, you have your standard classics. This dvd is one of the few that I will play over and over and over from my dvd music collection.
To me, what really made this disc was what others refer to as "obscurities". I prefer the term "rare gems", ... Read More

I will give this LIVE FROM AUSTIN, TX: JOHNNY CASH on DVD a full 5 star rating, because it is a solid concert performance, but it does have a noticeable flaw in having too many obscure songs in the middle of the show. If not for these obscure songs, which range from "OK" to "Pretty Good," then this could have been one of Johnny's best DVD concerts, but as it is, it is still very decent, at times very good, and it is still, I think, the only DVD concert from the 1980's, that I am aware of.
