Roger Miller's other Johnny Cash Show appearance

[mistyapril29]

Awsome people!

[purdyinpuke]

Cash did his best to bring PURE GENIUS to 70's TV dinner time. Something most folks can't think about. Oh.........And the 2 of them surely partied their ass' off. Nashville Roommates

[gravyman1965]

As a kid I found my dad's record collection to be almost magical. It was a different age wayyyy back then. One of my dad's favorites was Roger Miller and I recall listening to every song many times. Dad died on Christmas morning years ago and today I found myself listening to some Roger Miller and it brought out a lot of smiles and a tear or two. Thanks for allowing me to "sneak" into your records dad.

@ moproducer.. Tom Green county is in the great state of Texas , West Texas to be exact.

[s70rk]

What a great clip, thanks so much for sharing it!

[jesus1501]

A QUESTION,,,,DID THESE TWO SUPERSTARS EVER PERFORM TOGETHER IN A CONCERT ANYWHERE AND IS THERE ANY,,,ANY FOOTAGE AVAILABLE TODAY???? THAT ALONE WOULD BE WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD AFTER SEEING THEM TOGETHER HERE ON JOHNNY CASH'S SHOW

[blehman18066]

Roger and Johnny were both LEGENDS then, and always will be.

Roger's genius is still only starting to be appreciated today. Big River was his crowning achievement, but there is a very large volume of work that proved his genius long before Big River. Anyone who dismisses Miller as the guy who just sang "Doo Whacka Doo" is missing a lot of great songwriting and music from a master.

As for Johnny, I was never a big fan until the American Recordings, which Rick Rubin produced. Now I am a BIG fan!

2 LEGENDS OF COUNTRY ON THE SAME STAGE.

[landrykkb]

With all due respect to Johnny Cash's memory and his legacy,Roger Miller was much more of an all-around entertainer,musician,singer,ac­tor,etc..

[abargle]

@landrykkb I don't think Cash would argue the point. They were friends and I reckon that's what mattered most to Cash. I doubt they saw their careers as being a competition.

[landrykkb]

@abargle Of course,I never implied there was ever any competiton amongst the two;that's just my personal opinion.Johnny Cash was much more of a visible figure than Roger Miller,hence why he had his own variety show.

[abargle]

@landrykkb Didn't Roger have his own show briefly, too? Roger's real tragedy was that he died just as he was hitting his creative stride. What a damned shame.

[landrykkb]

@abargle You might be right about that,but I'm not 100% sure.Roger Miller definitely appeared on his fair share of variety shows,that's for sure.I wholeheartedly agree that he had so much more yet to contribute if he hadn't have died.

[landrykkb]

@abargle I knew that,but I just personally think Roger Miller was much better all around,like I said.

[CashPresley32]

Johnny Cash was in movies too. He starred in films such as Five Minutes To Live, Murder In Coweta County, The Pride Of Jesse Hallam, a remake of a old John Wayne movie which was called Stage Coach, and he was also in Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.

[theredfoxdemon]

all he did was paint pictuers for the rest of us with his unique voice

[9540086]

could some one tells me what's the name of that song i'll appreciate it

[MrJackieryanpatton]

Roger Miller and Johnny Cash!! hell fucking yeah!!! :D

[cowgirlmoon]

Two great entertainers! Ahhhh Roger Miller...... great voice, great wit.... great man!

[providenceppd]

Fabulous!

[cyclonez420]

just awesome.

[sp0ttedp0ny330]

BRILLIANT!!! :)

[MyMoppet52]

What great footage! These two had a special chemistry which sure shows up here. I have never seen this. Just realizing how lucky I was. Every year the Ohio State Fair had top entertainment & was free with fair admission. I got to see Johnny & June with their little boy (maybe 4-6) put on a SUPER show!!! We planned when to go to the fair by the entertainment. We all loved Johnny Cash so that year was a no-brainer. What great performers. What great people. Thanks!

[moproducer]

Where is Tom Green County?

[cpuneronet]

holy fuck i never heard this one but man hes sooooo good

[teeger66]

I just LOVE Johnny's laugh and smile! That song "I'm going Back to where I come From" has the same melody as "The Tennessee Flat top Box". But that's okay...hey it's Johnny Cash!!

[cpinill]

First song: The Tom Green Country Fair

Second song: Home

Third song: I'm Going Back To Where I Came From

and then, Home again

[GeorgieWise]

Read Marshall Chapman's new book "They Came to Nashville" it is like making a new best friend, or ten. Then read "Goodbye, Little Rock and Roller." It'll blow your mind when you figure out that she is you.

[coleyman1]

@GeorgieWise Marshall Chapman!! I think on the back of one of Waylon's or Willie's album there was a dedication to Marshall saying something like---"Marshall is a good old girl, she can ride on the bus anytime". What ever happened to Marshall Chapman?? She was heavy into the "outlaw" movement when it wasn't popular to be...

[tuthill351]

whats the second song by cash and roger called?

[rew428]

he sneaks a little fart out at 2:26

[MrSwingGuitar]

It's a Grammer guitar; the company headed by Billy Grammer, who was a minor country star himself.

[iamtoothewalrus]

I listen to Roger Miller as a kid and loved his music. Now I'm passing it along to my kids who love his music as much as I did...

[spotty91]

He kinda look like elvis xD

[jaimev21]

wat kind of guitart does johnny have?

[landrykkb]

There was a zaniness yet a serious undertone to everything Roger Miller wrote and sang!

[kelgs13]

Two legends that can never be replaced or copyed

[lfgubrs]

nvm found it:) Man i cant stop listen to this. Almost brings a tear to my eye.. such legends..

[lfgubrs]

sorry for dumb question but whats the name of the song he sings before the duett with Johnny? :)

[albrodie]

The Tom Green County Fair

[lfgubrs]

Oh my god two of the greatest legends playing on the same guitar? am i seeing things? Who do you think gots the voice of them if you had to choose? ;)

[honorkill35]

what fun i truly enjoyed that i am a fan of both

[sotchease]

My Daddy was born in 1946 and Johnny Cash's music got him through many a rough times. It really warms my heart and soul to see the man in black smile and chuckle like that. great post...

[shilo39]

One of greatest Singer and Song Writters of our time.

Nobodys does justice to his Songs like Roger . Just listen to Husbands & Wifes nobody could capture the mood like Roger.

[landrykkb]

@shilo39 Roger Miller's even still underrated as a songwriter and musician nearly 19 years after he left us.

[mistarax]

I saw Roger in 76-77 at Sea World San Diego around the "Painted Poetry" era. I was 12 years old. Man, he was great!

[EnemyRCA]

What Happened at 2:26-2:30 did he studder?

"in the Town Grit ta tic ka tic county fair" LOL

[Pearljam1282]

recording probably skipped

[strubinator]

I lived the song Tom Green County Fair when I was 10 and haven't heard that song since it had air time on the radio. Anyone got any idea where I can buy a clean mp3 of the song?

[chasingdabigones]

Thx a lot,this brings tears in my eyes,thank you, Miller forever and you to JC.

[27waystowin]

top vid nice 1

[dogsarefun2]

I saw Big River on Broadway over 20 years ago. Enjoy Rogers music now more than ever. His music makes you feel good listening to it.

Also enjoy J. Cash's music. Two Greats! Wish they were still around. Thanks for posting this gem for all to see. I'm sure there are many that never had the pleasure of seeing these two perform. Listen to a couple of my favorites by Roger:

Walkin' in the Sunshine & King of the Road & Husbands & Wives, Old Toy Trains. Good stuff!

[clownsky]

I can listen to these two all day.

Ray

[Porthbot]

Thank you for this.

[GahDub]

This is an AWEOME video find!Thanks for posting it. Roger Miller was one of the most talented musicians the Good Lord ever let breathe. Got to see him a couple of times in this area where I live in central Cal...where, by the way, Roger's middle/older brother Wendell Miller lives AND who I have the pleasure of "jammin" with just about every Friday nite in Laton, CA. Wendy is "the Fiddlin' Man" of Hanford, CA whom everybody gets a big kick out of and he's a bang up entertainer himself!

[SeanBenz33]

ive played this johnny cash guitar when it was in iowa, one of the best sounds i have ever heard. Love Roger and Cash

Long live Cash and Roger!

[np1070]

They don't make 'em like this anymore. Thanks for sharing!

[justmusicandme]

Thank you - This is just great!!

[LarryMusicMan]

Oh boy, what a vid ! thanks so much for posting. I always lucking for vid's of Roger, no DVD's available in Germany.

[JohnnyCashShow]

Yes, that's true! Really sad!

[tadhgie16]

thanks for putting this up its brilliant and priceless video

[SeanBenz33]

these two are so great...seen that guitar Cash has in iowa last summer, no offense but its kinda odd lol

[FlyOverHayseed]

Oh, how I miss the both of them.

[cashfan85]

Awesome thanks for posting!

[gaelemaat]

What a delightful performance that was!

Thank you so much...

Gaele.

[BigFloridaCowboy]

You can see these two were truly friends, and what a telent they both were! Today's 'country' artists could learn something from these two.

[aknowneemus]

good stuff!

[Colognefgfg]
