Country and rock 'n' roll legend Johnny Cash hosted his own variety television series from the summer of 1969 to spring 1971, and by all accounts the weekly program was destination TV. The Johnny Cash Show: The Best of Johnny Cash 1969-1971 is an 83-minute summary of everything Cash tried to do in his hourlong format, from presenting an eclectic and even-handed overview of popular music to promoting a humanitarian perspective on issues that mattered most to him: drug use, poverty, reliance on faith, compassion for criminals.
This DVD documentary is largely comprised of musical performances by Cash and some of the many guests who appeared on his show. But there are also snippets of interviews with behind-the-camera talent involved with the program as well as such old friends as Kris Kristofferson and Hank Williams Jr. Everyone speaks highly of Cash's warm, on-camera persona, and selected footage proves them right: Cash is ever the gentleman with an expansive spirit and down-to-earth grit. Musical highlights include Cash's own "I Walk the Line" and "Man In Black," Bob Dylan's straightforward "I Threw It All Away," Loretta Lynn's "I Know How," and a delightful George Jones medley. Ray Charles takes a bluesy spin on "Ring of Fire," Cash's fellow Sun Records artists Carl Perkins and Roy Orbison take turns in the spotlight, Neil Young brings the crowd to its feet with an amazing "The Needle and the Damage Done," and Eric Clapton (fronting Derek and the Dominos) turns in a passionate "It's Too Late." --Tom Keogh

A marvellous look back, a nostalgia trip, and it's everything they say it is - Kristofferson does an excellent job of narrating, the tracks chosen are very indicative of the extraordinary breadth of talented artists who appeared on the show - but the clothes and hair? whoagh, take a look at Loretta Lynne and Marty Robbins and weep! The only incongruous performer is Joni Mitchell, who seems atrangely out of place and key. A truly brilliant DVD and highly recommended to both all Cash fans but also ... Read More

I taped the audio off the Johnny Cash Show but those tapes have been packed away for years and probably not in very good shape, thus I was glad to have the dvd. However, there are a few many artists no one ever heard of, and not enough of the ones I remember, like Mama Cass Elliott, who are missing from the dvd. Overall quality is good and I liked John Carter Cash' narrative. The price was very low for this dvd, I would think it would have sold for more, but because of the occasional artist no one ...

This dvd shows Johnny Cash as we all knew him in this era.This was the time we all wanted to see him,young with the good songs and guests who were just starting out in the industry.I found this dvd was the link I was missing with Johnny.I would like to have a list of all songs and artists before I purchased though.But in this case it didn't matter.

The only problem with the Johnny Cash Show was that it didn't last long enough. But between 1969 and 1971 the show managed to capture great performances by a remarkably diverse group of musical performers. Cash insisted that the performers all sing live, so you will find no lip synching on this (my only doubt was Marty Robbins -- I could not see a microphone anywhere during his performance). So this is a great collection of performances by a long string of inductees into both the Rock and Roll Hall ... Read More

This is a must have for your collection!
I saw a portion of this on PBS and just had to have it.
I am a big fan of Clapton, Dylan, Jerry Lee and of course Johnny Cash & everyone else on this dvd. I just wish that their were more available.
Good quality and audio! Get one before they are gone!
