Johnny Cash - Medley

[rbtb1968]

I thought I would let Cash fans on YouTube know that Hippekuln, one of JC's super fans passed away Monday. RIP OLA really gonna miss you

[AzianNinja007]

I STILL MISS THAT SOMEONE,THAT IS YOU-------JOSIE

[TheFreakingBeatles]

Don't get me wrong, i'm probably the biggest fan of johnny cash and this video is amazing, but fender acoustics suck

[StefanCasillas]

cool song

[fab66100]

Superbe vidéo , merci . Thanks a lot.

[MizzBeretta]

3 people have never fall in love

[sheltv100]

I wonder if this was Luther Perkins last colour TV appearance in the band with Johnny Cash? Because if it is, it is sad because Perkins died shortly after this video was shot in 1968.

[sheltv100]

Ring of Fire is so popular that even today you go to a club on Saturday night and you will hear dance remixes of Ring of Fire.

[TomiAngelo1]

Folsom Prison Blues is best ....

[foreverhulkamania]

Johnny was probably most gifted man to be able to sing his music the way he did. there was never anybody like him before, and certainly none ever after!

I have always loved Johnny Cash and what his music stood for!

[foreverhulkamania]

i smile when i watch this stuff!

[Jammingbitch]

@k190256 you know johnny is dead?

[bil1228]

THE BEST!!! THANKS Jr.

[k190256]

[pat976]

@10procia yep ! Brang it !!!

[pat976]

@10procia and a Fender Esquire... the most badass guitar in history ... just one pickup wired direct to the jack. No BS !!!

[pat976]

People like J Cash because he was REAL ... that's what the world needs now... Just give it to me straight !!!

[crbdudeman]

What amp is Luther Perkins using in this video?

[antzzy1]

Luther died shortly after this concert...very sad.

[PanterA1984]

awesome!

[johncashrocks221]

such a great voice, such good songs, such a handsome man, and what kind of guitar is that?

[elmenocchio]

Merci de ce bon souvenir !

[Cartercash4ever]

[Cartercash4ever]

Yes happy 78th birthday to j. R. Cash!

[mayorofwilsonville]

happy birthday johnny

[Cartercash4ever]

This is awesome!this is cool! R. I. P. J. R.

[EllyMcCormack]

The epitome of cool.

[flying121]

JC was cool because he was unpretentious.. he was what he was.. also.. the entire group used the instruments and lyrics as a way of communicating what they felt.. not just playing a piece of music that was layed in front of them.. from the soul man!

[flying121]

I saw them in 1963.. Iwas 4 yrs old.. oneof the first things I remember.. I picked up a guitar when I was 6yrs old.. learned every song over the years..and stillplay this entire set every single day...

[sarahlovesjohnnycash]

Great Video! He broke his nose when he crashed June's cadillac when he was fired by the Grand Ole Opry and yes, high on pills

Thanks for posting :D

[intothevoid762]

The head of Johnny's acoustic is like a Electric guitars head

[promagnum]

I wonder if Luther was left handed. He always has his wrist watch on his right arm.

[anthony1962]

Luther actually wore some type of gold ID wrist bracelet on his left hand.

[BorisViande]

hum hum c tro com il séclate c profon

[iloveclassics50]

great footage!

[tBlueJay67]

oldy but a goody

[Chaiyut60]

I love it very nice music

[glitterangelgirl]

LUTHER PERKINS DIED SOMEWHERE IN 1968

[joeman335td]

Luther died August 5, 1968.

[JohnnyCashFan200]

The House Fire Was 8-2-69

[promagnum]

God his nose looks broken

[humarookie]

he got into a fight with his dad :D

[highwayman012]

Hey Promagnum His nose looks broken because he was named sue and one thing led to another!

[pierrolern]

c etait vraiment un grand chanteur

[Leah826Cool]

Johnny was in his best voice ever. I have listened to this many times.

[Mond1961]

Great great person i love him

[davyboy98]

this must have been shortly before luther died?

[Cortexmelon]

This was about early 1967, so not for another year and a half.

[owenatkins]

Thanks for an excellent example of what most country music was like before Woodstock

(1969, when it changed).

[promagnum]

Is it just me or does Marshal's bass look really small neck length wise?

[afmaverick]

His Epi bass was a short-scale model, like all the other "batwing" Epiphone basses at the time.

[allenshepard]

haha thats funny as hell what year was this

[JohnnyCashRocks101]

1967

[anthony1962]

MORE INFO: Found some more notes...Johnny Cash, Tennessee Three, June Carter taped their performances for ABC OPERATION ENTERTAINMENT during the summer of 1968 while at Sheppard Air Force Base near Wichita Falls,which I think was in Texas. Also on this show, I've listed, Mitzi McCall.

[gunnut91]

At Sheppard!?! God now i wish i lived in 1968 I live only about 10 miles from Sheppard and yes Sheppard Air Force Base is in Wichita Falls, Texas.

[anthony1962]

Looking through a file of notes I made years ago about Cash's 1955-1968 TV performances. Came across something interesting. Cash & ORIGINAL TN3 taped a musical segment for a show on ABC called OPERATION ENTERTAINMENT (all performers were taped "live" at various military bases) which aired on Jan. 24, 1969 - 5 months after Luther's death. Cash's perormance (FOLSOM PRISON) was taped "live" at a US military base between Jan-April 1968.

[anthony1962]

Cash also performed on this same show in January 1969 while touring other various military bases here in the USA and in the far East. which featured Bob Wootton by then.

[Cortexmelon]

Amazing amount of info Anthony. Do you have AIM/MSN/Yahoo? I got some questions about some certain performances.

[anthony1962]

I recall watching what would be Luther's last TV spot as a kid in 1968 and when Cash's segment was shown again in early '69. Actually a small segment of that show (about 10 secs of FOLSOM) WAS played the night Mr. Cash passed on a few years back - not sure what channel though. Hope it appears some time soon.

[anthony1962]

I'm looking at those notes right now and need to make a correction. The correct broadcast date for the Cash appearance on the SUMMER/SMOTHERS show with Luther was August 25, 1968. Sorry.

[Cortexmelon]

Oh, alright, awesome. Well, hopefully someone will get that footage and we'll see it (I'm surprised no one has seen it, you'd think they'd be using that footage a lot, being its Luther's final playing)

[Cortexmelon]

You know what, i just realized i read your first answer completely wrong lol, i thought you said Luther DIDN'T play on that show.

[bubohs1]

This has to be my favorite JR video on Youtube. Great video clip. Help keep JR's memory alive, check out the johnnycash website weekly 'radio broadcast' by one of his dearest friends, Bill Miller. Intimate interviews and songs, it's an hour well spent.

[anthony1962]

Taping for the SUMMER BROTHERS SMOTHERS SHOW was listed on the CBS working file as being July 26-28 though Cash and Tenn3 could have taped heir segment - FOLSOM and HARP WAEAVER - as late as the 28th, that remains suspect since they performed in Angola, Indiana also on the 28th - Luther's final live performance. Cash's spot on the SUMMER BROTHERS show was supposedly repeated by CBS later in early 1969 though the date was never specified. Hope that helps.

[Cortexmelon]

Ahh, thanks a lot, that helped a lot. I guess we'll have to see the video pop up before we can be 100% sure i guess?

[anthony1962]

Mr. Grant is mistaken in his recollections. I've seen the actual footage stored at the CBS archives (NYC) and heard the audio in October 1994. Still have the union file notes on the show for work I was doing at the Country Music Hall of Fame. Luther IS playing guitar on that final SUMMER BROTHERS SMOTHERS SHOW which was scheduled for original national broadcast on August 24, 1968 some three weeks after Luthers death.

[Johi2410]

Is there any recording of the "Summer Brothers Smothers Show"??? I mean on video? I would love so much to see and hear Luther and John!

WOW I can let Youtube read my comment out. That must be something new!

[foreverhulkamania]

i wish i could get my voice to go a little lower! I mean, good grief, this man was as good as Elvis, and that says A LOT!

[vitelliano]

I think this is of '67, not '68

[Cortexmelon]

I think this is 1967 too, since he looks too skinny for it to be 1968.

[suecitytoo]

Walk the line is a great song-Willie Nelson sang a good song on Blue eye's crying in the rain-Folsum Prison he actually sang from a prison- very good

[damjanovicilija]

God damn he is realy coooooool!

[rebrotho10]

i still miss someone ;)

[thomasioth2]

A classic line

[zprj]

Fantastic! Thanks for share it! I like the perform of I still miss someone in the album, whose name I unknow, that it has a piano player, I want to know thw name of this album please!

[Nugget584]

good songs

[anthony1962]

Luther actually never played a Telecaster (technically speaking). From 1964 to his death in '68 this sunburst Esquire (ca. 1963) was his main instrument. Today it is on display at the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville.

[oathseeker]

R.I.P Luther!

[johnnyvollan15]

And johnny!

[enos870]

I can never tell wether Luther is playing a Telecaster or an Esquire,but w/e,it sounds great every time!

[h8style]

THE BEST!!

[anthony1962]

The last time Luther performed on TV was in July 1968 for THE SUMMER BROTHERS SMOTHERS SHOW broadcast a few weeks after his death in early August. The BBC show was taped in May 1968. His last ever recordings were for Cash's HOLY LAND album also in July 1968.

[Cortexmelon]

In Marshall's book, he says that Luther was dead when they did that show. Is his wrong or what? I've now got two stories on the show lol.

[anthony1962]

The SUMMER BROTHERS SHOW was taped days prior to Luther's accident. Only TV Cash did after Luther died was an OPRY show - he sang RING OF FIRE, JACKSON, FOLSOM PRISON BLUES. Marshall made other factual mistakes in his book like citing he/Luther made an LP of instrumentals - the TN2 only made a few singles - or Cash's milestone '62 show at Carngie Hall as "probably the best he had ever done up" yet (I was there on 5/10/62) it was one of his worst shows since he couldn't even talk forget sing.

[johnnycashjr1]

i have other color videos of when luther was still alive...if anybody wants them send me a message or whatever.

[dukes103]

Johnnycashjr1 i would like to see those videos of luther. hes a cool guitar player!

[BigsbyBender]

That must have been one of Luther's last performances....They lost alot when they lost Luther....

[ScreamingEagle82nd]

If you go to boomp3 (I think that's it's name, it's an audio hosting website) someone has uploaded the last ever recording of Luther playing. It's from a performance in London, taped by the BBC in 1968.

[jimmywcline]

johnny cash at his best. voice is great. thank you.

[SimonNenagh]

...Johnny Cash...Simply The Best... !!!!!!

[hollowbastionlovr]

I wonder what type of bass is marshall playing here?

[SeanBenz33]

i think a fender

[afmaverick]

He's playing an Epiphone Embassy bass with a "batwing" headstock. He played it at the Folsom and San Quentin shows, as well as on the Johnny Cash Show and other appearances in the late 1960s.

[sjokolade147]

how old is johnny?

[DarthSeptic]

I think he was in his late thirties here, but not sure

[JimReevesFan]

Born in 1932---

Figure 35 or 36 here...

[JoeCamelCigg]

He is 36 years old here!

[joec470]

i guess this is before he married june

[DarthSeptic]

He's already married to June here. In the background, there are spinning boxes, one has his record "Bitter Tears" on it, and I know for a fact he made that record when he was with June already. I know, I'm a total Johnny Cash fan.

[hollowbastionlovr]

He married june after the folsom prison blues concert,And luther perkins was killed in a fire accident a month later i think.Then carl perkins played lead guitar for a while but not to long.Then ol' Bob wootton stepped in.Then later on marshall grant left the band for some reason,I have no idea.

[DarthSeptic]

Marshall left because he and John found it hard to work together. Johnny wrote him a letter(mean one) telling him he was fired. They did make up though, but never got back together in the bad.

[hollowbastionlovr]

Well,Your right.But once or twice marshall played with johnny.even after there arguement

[DarthSeptic]

Yeah, I'm sure they got together some times. Dave Rodrick took over as the bass player.

[hollowbastionlovr]

Yeah dave rodrick,Dang you know your johnny cash stuff.

[Tenneessee3]

You don't know much for being a "total" JC fan because Bitter Tears was recorded in 1964 and he maried June in 1968.

[supershelly07]

Love it!!

[CMRW]

his voice is so amazing that I'm listening to him over and over.

[supermac74]

Mega Cool!

[EliteUBH]

Legends never die nor will be forgotten, Neither will Johnny.

[hellotherechap]

i love i still miss someone...its just awsome in every way

[DIANAUS54]

one of the best I ever saw and I have a lot from the early times.

[echazfilm]

I can't describe how much I love the part at 03:19, when he PULLLLS in on the guitar and over to Ring of Fire... this capodastered sound is great!!! It sounds routined and relaxed how he does that, how he pulls up the guitar and just plays, like he wanted to say: "folks I'm still Johnny Cash and back again from my bad period..."

[JimReevesFan]

Outstanding. John was actually looking healther in this video; fuller face, not jerking around so much...and he sounded great.

Thank you for sharing.

[dukes103]

Johnny Cash is the real King of music!

[johnnyvollan15]

i love Ring of fire.

just listen!

[dukes103]

i know Ring of Fire is the best song ever

[sjokolade147]

Great!

[johnnyvollan15]

nice

[hollowbastionlovr]

I love the sound of there music,Great job luther and RIP johnny!!

[jimmywcline]

what a voice thank you jc rest in peace.

[nate891]

johnny your voice is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[azzaQ]

This is probably the best video record

[jimmywcline]

absoulty fantastic, what a voice, great video. thanks

[dukes103]

The Ring of Fire is the best song in here

[dukes103]

sweet video were did you get it!

[mickbeth1]

This was from a Ralph Emery show never picked up at the time.

[JoeCamelCigg]

I love he's big cute ears and his awesome voice!

[luvzCCR]

okay when johnny plays folsom on here, i pulled up my windows media player and played the version of folsom from the famous 68 concert. they're DEAD ON, i just thought that was pretty neat

[CashFan4]

Fuckin awesome voice!

[panicmom]

I grew up with his songs 8 track or record lol

He reminds me of my dad!!!

Hes gone now but still reminds me:}

[Armstrong112]

I belive that this a full year before Luther died. I tthink this is in 1967 becuase Johnny still looks skinny from drug abuse, adn when he went to Folsom he was more filled out.

[CashFan4]

Probably the best Johnny Cash video on youtube. LOVE IT

[nickcuban]

awesome stuff

[CUBANCASH77]

Hell yes!!!! I love his medleys.

[promagnum]

This might be the only time that Luther was shown in color.

[promagnum]

Haha. I like the records spinning in the background. Neato!

[cintajc]

This is just too fantastic. JC burned, burned, burned in the 1960's. THANK YOU for posting it.

[BaseballJunkie35]

He still burns, burns, burns! ;)

[tyler1501]

It is great to finally be able to see Johnny's complete appearance. It is also great to see Luther...this has to be close to his death, probably a matter of a few months or less. However, I don't like the way this medley is organized. They just sing parts of songs. It would be better if they had sang a couple complete songs with Luther playing solos.

[arcemus82]

I could watch "LUTHER" all day..

[liftwaffe]

Luther Perkins was the man...

Thanks mate!

waffe

[Cortexmelon]

Oh my god, i love this! You do not know how long i`ve tried to find the full version of these! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
