  • Great. But this is a song, where Elvis is untouched.

  • Johnny Cash shows that it is never too late to love someone. Jesus loved and prayed for those who were killing him. As for death penalty, I agree with pddddd1235

  • @pddddd1235 If you had commented that on anyone elses videos I would be here debating with you and your opnions however I too much respect for Johnny and what he believed in.

  • Let me attempt to harmonize Exodus 21:12 and Ezekiel 18:32: The government can and must punish murderers but God does not enjoy their death. In verse 31 of Ezekiel 18 God asks, "why will ye die?" as if, although He does not enjoy anyone's death, He knows that sometimes He must take life or allow it to be taken. That's what I love about God: He has love and justice. Let's not take pleasure in the death of anyone yet understand that sin has a necessary penalty. Thank God Jesus paid it all.

  • your all fuckin souless crazy bastards..who the fuck are you small people to condemn anybody?...look in your godamn chests people..you negative fucks keep this ball of shit rolling with your stupidity,arrogance,negativity­,and pure retardation..wow i cant believe i'm saturated in such bullshit

  • @darky926

    Very limited vocabulary there – -An old saying people that use profanity do so because they lack the ability to communicate in an intelligent manner otherwise.

    Four letter words are for little kids to make then think they are big.

  • If you're the guy who "pulls the switch" what wold say to God, if you go to heaven, I was just doinig my job. Seems kind of wrong.

  • Does anyone know who the men were on death row interviewed in this video

  • it may sound crazy but by killing someone that has killed,u r doing them a favour,ur saving them from suffering some heavy karma,because there punishment has been served in this life they will not suffer no more after.

  • 5:09 WTH ?

  • R.I.P. J C i want this played on my funeral day PLEASE. But by Elvis not Jonny.

  • Lord is All-Knowing and is none more but truth. To know truth, is to speak truth..I use this Username only for the fact being I have been through trouble and struggle. Never have I ever: Heard such loving songs and views of wonder as I have from this Gospel in which I never really listen to Mr. Cash.. Though Elvis A. Presley is one of my main influences, I listen not to false submissions to anger and pride and envy in which many artists do today. My Lord works in a field..I'd never want to know.

  • johnny and june loved each other so much, he couldn't go on without his beloved june 5 months after she passed away, he went to join her. i also felt ronald and nacy regan loved each other like that, both couples inspired me so much with so much love for each other. GOD bless them all. i've been married since i was 16, almost 53 years.

  • could you imagine what it`d be like not having the death penalty-you`d be feeding scum lowlife murderers till they got out again & slaughtered more innocent.i come from Australia were we see the scum murderers eventually gettin released back out to do the same evil deeds they originally went in for so im for the death penalty for murderers & big drug dealers who cause half of the crimes out there by selling there shit!!

  • what?, what Gives Them The Right to kill!,You Kill And You Will Be Killed

  • You are to be put to death on March 10th, 10:00 am. But would you like some coffee?

  • I love JC, but this version does not hold a candle to Elvis.

  • Moses killed an Egyptian soldier and buried him in the sand. King David, the one who slew Goliath, wrote many of the Psalms, had Uriah killed so he could be with his Uriah's wife. YET both were forgiven. Forgiveness begins only AFTER repentance and seeking forgiveness from the Heavenly Father. I think some may be surprised by who makes it to heaven, and even more surprised on who won't..

  • @Dapeaceofjesus - Amen to that!!

  • @Dapeaceofjesus good post! we dont have the right to take life

  • Romans 13 gives us instructions on the law.

  • why'd you change the start of this vid bro? change it back broheim. this is my favourite vid peace

  • Comment removed

  • @stephenbuster1

    Later on in the film he admits he killed a woman and her little boy. Still think he shouldn't be in prison ??

  • @TheEvilelvis89 well, if you kill a murderer you are still a murderer so the people working in US prisons are often murderers

  • @henrikhankhagnell

    That wasn't the question though was it. But yeah, the guards are murderers too but the difference is the people they kill deserve to be killed.

  • @TheEvilelvis89 well, no one should be killed. it is better to help someone then to kill him

  • @TheEvilelvis89

    wow Who made you GOD ? You dont know shit about why these people were driven to do what they did ( judge not, .least you shall be judged ! ) In a so called democracy there should be no such thing as the DEATH penalty WOW what hypocrites the USA, ARE LOL & they have the arrogance to judge the muslims ?( dont forget ..the french beheaded people with the gullitine & the french people brought picnic baskets to watch the beheadings it was their sunday entertainment THINK about that

  • @ZEITGEISTism

    lo GOD ??!?! I'm just a man. And believe me, if one killer... for instance killed one of my loved ones and I had a chance to get them back I would.

  • @TheEvilelvis89 ----- fuck up 

  • @stephenbuster1

    Fuck you, and your fucking rudeness.

  • its so sad people have hope there is no such thing as god if there was he is one sick fuckin cunt.i seen my cousin suffer from birth brain damaged.died at 16 should have died at birth.no mersey god is a twat.i hate the thought of god its all shite.gods a cunt cunt cunt.strike me down you fucki twat

  • @xxreerettgfd Its obvious youdont know God.If you dont know God is love.Would love harm you or your loved ones in any way?The answer is no.The killer and destroyer is the devil.Apparently you got the two terribly mixed up.

  • jay cash rules. penal system sucks. However! throw an interview from someone who's life was affected by their crimes. Different story eh? Boo freakity hoo. Incinerate them all!!!! Isn't it funny how we talk about prison reform? How about preventing the crime from ever happening...the best prison reform. Johnny may have wanted to expose the blight about the situation but he never walked in their shoes. Why? Because he has a conscience. They thought they were the shit until they got caught. PAY!

  • I'm not sure if it's Johnny Cash at San Quentin or Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison.

  • @jokr8790 It's Johnny Cash at San Quentin, and Johnny wrote a song called Folsom Prison Blues.

  • This song gives me such peace! Hope everyone there (at San Quentin) was listening to what Johnny was saying! There is hope for even the worst sinner. Jesus gave His life so that we could have this peace. He conquered death so that we would live forever in perfect joy w/ Him. I am so thankful, because I could never make it to Heaven w/out the Savior. Hold me, Lord. Thank you Johnny! Great inspiration. See ya at the throne of God someday. Can't wait to meet you and June and see my family again!.

  • this is a great song on its own, with the video at the start it makes it even more powerfull. Makes me imagine a prisoner going down to the gas chamber.

    R.I.P. Mr Cash!!

  • There are Youtube videos of Johnny singing the full song. Search Johnny Cash and Peace in the Valley.

  • I think the interspersed interviews provides a beautiful context to the song. This documentary should have gotten an academy award.

  • @jokr8790 what documentary is this?

  • Does the child moslester deserves the death penalty than the leader that permits child molesting thru molesting technology upon the community? then I simply writes nice song, let me check the statistics in countries which have no statistics records

  • The warden's speech at the start is more than a bit sobering. And his attitude and respect for the process is to be noted.

  • thinking of the west memphis 3 and all the innocent men in jail and the women also

  • Wow that is very real and powerful. RIP JOHNNY CASH

  • I've never been so excited about a song as I was when I saw the link to a "Johnny Cash" version of this song :D

    ...Shame it's spoiled by interview excerpts though :(, hopefully there'll be links to the actual full song :)

  • @TwelveBridges

    buy the dvd its worth it

  • @TwelveBridges why is that a shame? The excerpts are interesting. Tghe Dvd is excellent. So is the concert.

  • @yachtabaco

    Because it's such a lovely song, I'd sooner listen to the song in full, and then listen to the interview, not interspersed with eachother :P

  • I think everyone should watch this . As human beings we are just animals that are trying to play at being civilised . Depending on everyones experiences of life we will all have different views of what is right and what is wrong. We live in a society where the state decides.

  • @olivier654 THE DEATH PENALTY KILLED AN INNOCENT MAN. TODD WILLINGHAM.

  • I think the only cause for being on death row should be killing a child, and all serial killers should get it. I agree that killing even a killer still makes you a killer. But what are you supposed to do to these people besides that? It's a very very tough thing. I wish there was a world where people didn't have to know their date of death. That's the worst thing. I obviously feel for the innocent people that were killed. But idk what to think of this. :(

  • @reptile1104 Child molesters should be hung.

  • @NWAfan

    Can I click "Like" more than once?

  • @reptile1104 Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death. Exodus 12:12

  • @SolusKrieger It's not so cut-and-dried: Ezekiel 18:32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!

  • Chilling

  • @olivier654 Convicted of what?

  • @EbenezerSydney EVERY CASE IS DIFFERENT AND THE DEATH PENALTY KILLS INNOCENT PEOPLE AS WELL!

  • Very good version from Johnny...

  • these are criminals right?

  • Yeah, they are, Everybody has a chance at forgiveness and peace. Even those who believe that people like these can't get it. No matter what they have done, and it's not your place to say otherwise. Unless of course, you want to dictate to the creator of everything.

  • @stoptherot1. Simple question requiring a simple answer friend. NO OBLIVIATING!

  • Johnny Cash, we miss you.

  • do the crime pay the price, think twice before u decide to take another human life.

  • Johnny was a man that saw all sides even from the person considered the lowliest by our society. He spoke to everyone, the voice of us all. Especially the rebels......

  • Id want johnny Cash, Hank Williams, AC/DC and G.G. Allin to listen too with a huge

    bottle of whiskey. If I was gonna die tomorrow.

  • what a great man R I P you

  • Eh I don't like the death penalty. I just think killing is killing, no matter who dies. But I understand why some do get it. But still. Why can't we just ship them all off to some deserted island. Let em fend for themselves.

  • AMEN

  • Genius tv. No-one condones crime but it exists - as did this gig.

  • lets be honest lads granada television fucked up with this concert.....who gives a shit about these scumbags giving there stupid interviews and how they raped and killed people while cash is in his best form ever in the back round....its a fucking disgrace what granada did....they sould be shot 1 by 1

  • Well said.

  • Whether or not you agree with it, it happens. And that's what makes this hymn, my favorite, sung by my favorite old boy, so haunting.

  • In Europe there's no death penalty and there's also less killings. Maybe the reason of the violence in the USA is because everybody has a gun. You should think in that way, not like 14th century "eye by eye"

    Johnny Cash best musician ever. R.I.P.

  • @jozelillo With guns we are citizens without guns we are subjects. As the europeans are. The gov. buries you in taxes and gov. programs and you have to rely on them. Instead of God and your given abilities. God Bless

  • @1RODDYPIPER With guns you make it easier for people to kill other people. T.T And last I checked the people in Europe have way better economies than we do. Look at France.

  • @marcusbeliz What do you mean by better economy ? If you mean consistantly high unemployment ? your right it averages about 10% for the last 10 years whereas aside from the last 2 years America averages about 4%...you mean rigid socialist controls ? your right again This is the reason Businesses have so much trouble and once hired ...aside from killing someone on the job its next to impossible to get rid of a bad employee. God bless

  • @1RODDYPIPER ? France's economy is gaining 15% in profit, whereas the U.S. is losing .6%. Wtf are you talking about?

  • @marcusbeliz You don't make any sense France shows a 15% profit countries don't show a profit !!!! What you might be talking about is economic growth if thats the correct figure idk. Know what yourt talking about before you say it kid. If its so great there buy a one way ticket. I'm sure they'll be glad to have you as much as we are to get rid of you !!!!!

  • @1RODDYPIPER Oh yea. You're right. lol Same thing, and I can't because I'm not 18+ yet. And stfu, I know my facts. You can't just look at all of the good things about America and ignore the bad. That's being ignorant.

  • @marcusbeliz .....you don't know your facts kid. If you did you wouldn't make an azz out of yourself. Btw who was talking about good and bad we were talking economy. You calling me ignorant I'll take as a compliment. Thanks.

  • @1RODDYPIPER Mmmk. You're ignorant.

  • Think he try to say the best he can in his work !

    ?? Kill people ??? In state name ??

  • point? Point is jesus

  • No More Death Row! It's awful! No human should be treated this way and no human should have to witness it.

  • @c2a6t

    Have to disagree, WHAT IF, someone murdered a member of your family and gave them NO CHANCE to live, you wouldn't want justice for that person? Killers take lives, an eye for an eye

  • @Debbin killing killers just makes you a killer. a cycle of violence is not justice.

  • @Debbin you said killers take lifes? so then if you kill a killer then your a killer just as they were.

  • @BoNkErZchloe22 An eye for an eye!

  • @Debbin not really. this generation is horrible all this world talks about is finding peace but we are all talk we dont do it. all this generation is...is war.

  • @BoNkErZchloe22 Yet you have no idea "what" generation I am from...I was born in the generation of NO BULLSHIT!!

  • @Debbin well then i wasn't tying to pick a fight...and yeah well i love your generation

  • @c2a6t

    and BEFORE everyone starts giving me a thumbs down, my grandad. my Dad's Father was murdered, shot in the head while sleeping...he was 45, the killer 25, he didn't get the death penalty because he begged for his life.....My granddad. who I nor my Dad NEVER got to meet..never had that chance.

  • No kidding, that's why we kill them. Otherwise they'd keeping killing other "innocent" people.

    Ooooh oh, you mean you want us to house them, feed them, give them a place to say and their up keep for free 'till they die? Yeah, no.

    If you feel that badly for them petition your country and we'll gladly give them over to your care. I'm sure your tax paying citizens won't mind.

  • @HadesObsidian Hmmm...

  • R.I.P. Johnny Cash, may you have peace in the valley now

  • @NathanL1990 i meant to click thumbs up. i'm sorry. i am a grade-a cunt

  • @zarella u can change it it will take away fron the dislike and add one to the like

  • Beautiful testament to the love God has for all - sinner and saint

  • Dead man walking

  • its funny

    if a man is gassed for killing another man its very sad both ways

    theres tears for both men

  • Two familes ruined.

  • i didnt even know untill i watched hthis video

    like these men are just sitting there waiting to die, its awful stuff and its even worse if you killed someone for a sorta just reason

    like if he raped your mom or killed your dad or somthing like that

  • wow i didnt no they gave you food that you want and records and stuff before you die

  • Just watch the video dudes and take a flippin' chill pill. Geez.

  • Noone sings this song better than Johnny

  • I want a cup of coffee. But not from starbucks.

  • Johnny Cash is god.

  • PEOPLE, PEOPLE PLEASE!

    Leave your quibbles for the blogs! This is Youtube! Just enjoy the show.

  • they only get fed twice a day? they must have gotten to eat snaks in the evening, I would be starving.

  • Love it.

  • Cool it you guys! You boyz seem to have the devil inside!

    Don't ya Know that killin is a crime..no matter who does it and swearin won't get y'all into heaven..

  • @mikmirac Johnny cash swear but hes in heaven

  • what's a GED , we don't have that here in Australia ?

  • you get your GED after successfully defending the PhD thesis

    no, just kidding, it's just TheBoyzFromIllinoize , the fucking illiterate redneck circle jerk tries to look smarter ...

  • semiliteratedgod:

    you use swears and vulgarities like they are going out of style. Very classy. Not.

    Your Mother must be horribly ashamed that she gave birth to you.

  • How can Americans bevlive in God when you act like you do killed over 5 million in Vietnam and now Irak and other wars that sugar country number one have had.

    Dont talk about Hitler when you act the same.

  • it's always the governments man, and their misleading, brainwashing propaganda machine

  • You got that right...But in a democrazy the people can choose there leader thats different between dictatorship and demcrazy.

  • "But in a democrazy the people can choose there leader thats"

    well it's not that easy, usually people can only chose the lesser evil, which they did ...

  • fuck off you swedish piece of garbage.

  • Fuck you .....sugar boy...

  • sugar boy means nothing to me you stupid swede.

  • We genuinely tried saving Vietnam from a very real danger: communism.

    The Iraq war, on the other hand, was fought for no reason whatsoever. Every American has blood on their hands from Iraq. I for one am absolutely ashamed of my country's behavior in the last few years. We have shown ourselves unfit to be a superpower, which is why we most likely will lose that title in the not-so-distant future (about 15-20 years if not sooner).

  • Yes the people choose there leader it is easy.

    Build a network against your sikc goverment.

    "war on terror" "weapon of massdesruction" "homeland secruity" PROPAGANDA.

    What have over 100 000 dead Iraq people to do with 3000 dead Americans in World Trade Center? (nothing).

    Just a reason to start war for oil and sale weapons one clusterbomb cost 30 000 US dollar.

    And it is your people paying for this shit.

    Should put money on other things.

  • That's funny considering your country supplied the nazis with raw materials and still supplies the US with weapons. Guess who else has troops in the middle east(you)? Swedish arms companies have done excellent since the war. You should be happy. How many of those 100000(you are way off) were killed by there own people?

    In Sweden you guys dont have these problems, you have the highest rate of hate crimes(you dont let muslims in or get too brave)  little bitch.

  • Haha...We have high rate of crime? If you come from US you are the wrong person to speak about crime many stupid and fat people and crime and ghettos...YEAH YEAH YEAH .

    But we are the still land of freedom....HAHA...

    Never forget killing in Vietnam and ww2 and Korea and now Iraq. ...Murder.

  • a high rate of HATE crimes. Learn to read, Peder024a.

    Our involvement in Vietnam, WW2, and Korea was, on the whole, noble.

    Iraq was not.

  • What? I hate english i donjt speak english besuce i dont live in a english speaking country try to speak swedish or other laugauge and see hoe easy it is.

    Sweden was NOT invovled in the holoaust in Vietnam. I hope America get war then you see how fun it is to be bomb.

  • @Peder024a i live in Australia is that bad?

  • Don't forget Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That was massmurder on a huge scale. Rumors has it that the American military leadership allowed the Pearl Harbor attack to happen, as an excuse to test their new "toys", the A-bomb. An interesting sidenote is that Nagasaki was one of the most Christian cities of Japan. The name Eisenhower says it all...

    /Swede #2

  • so whats your point?

  • @joroma77 Mmm you know that prior to Pearl Harbor, the U.S. sent a letter to every person in America saying that Japan wasn't going to attack us? Those idiots.

  • Incredible video..I truly believe that Johnny Cash understood.

    What a man!

  • To all prisonners of St.Quentin: «GOD LOVES YOU»«GOD IS GOOD»

  • Capitol punishment is premeditated murder. amen.

  • Steak for breakfast, wow!!! They only get porridge in the English jails. Mind you, they don't get fried either.

  • This is a good tune I spent 5 years inside and those guys didn't cry when they saw a dude going to get excuted we showed our respect by making the prison quiet as a church mouse to bad I didn't see johnny cash in prison

  • Is there no version of this song without the interviews. I'm so tired of them:(

  • Get over it asshole.If you don't want it with interviews,then just go and buy the fucking cd.Why be a douche about it?

  • i agree with u johnny beleived in forgivness he was and is a legend wat a man

  • johny cash had sympathy with people incarcerated! not for people who commited violent /sexual crimes! people deserve chances! he had an understandin of the average person ie myself who has been inprisoned in scotland but am not a bad person! he just tried to show how the system does no good to rehabilitate people!

  • not all prisoners are evil

  • I agree 100%. I didn't mean to imply that they all are.

  • You're sick, to be frank. How could anyone rejoice at a video like this?

  • Here in the US we have hundreds of thousands of people serving life-long sentences for violent crimes at the cost of approximately $70,000 PER YEAR PER INMATE. Capital punishment is and always has been a much more just, humane, intelligent, and economical way to handle the problem.

  • All Countries Needs Death Rows Like San Quentin,And The Gas Chamber!

  • If u were in his position i think you would have changed ur minds fast. Ur thinking is Facistsic.

  • @50sRockabilly1 no they do not. geez this world is generation is really about. war. crime. hatred. all the bad stuff. grr i hate being 15 i wish i was born in 1932 i hate with world

  • very disturbing....Cash sums up the feelings of people from all sides and walks of life.

  • how sad

    and in the same thot i think how much exacution was deserved.But whos to judge ya know...

  • This is not something to mourn - it is something to celebrate. Lets face it: some folks need killin'.

  • So all countries should sentence people to death? Then can you tell me why there are more violence in US than in Sweden?

  • Yes. People should be executed if they are convicted, beyond a reasonable doubt, of a heinous, vicious crime (such as murder, rape, child molestation).

    The answer to your second question is far too complex for a youtube comment response. I firmly believe, however, that our limited use of capital punishment (only 42 people were put to death by the US in 2007) is not a significant factor in our relatively high violent crime rate.

  • We got more people?

  • You fool, He ment per inhabinant.

    Thing is i blame drugs. All the way. And ofc some rap music who glorifies it

  • He should learn to say what he means. I hate shoddy writing. It reflects shoddy thinking.

  • Some people, I fear to be around other people. But to need killing? Maybe. But what of Timothy McVeigh? I'd rather keep at him to tell us WHY than to let him go quietly into that good night...

  • often it is the wrong guy you know... I say let's get that DNA testing right, and all the other stuff

    until then I'm against this monstrosity

  • occasionally yes, but certainly not often. If in the process of killing 1000 monsters we kill like 5-10 innocent people then so be it. Our country would be much better off.

    Think about waging war as a for instance. Not the Iraq war, but a legit and necessary war. We wage war knowing full well that plenty of innocent people will die. We go to war anyways, though, because we know it is ultimately for the best.

    We need to start thinking with our minds again, not just our hearts.

  • "If in the process of killing 1000 monsters we kill like 5-10 innocent people then so be it"

    FUCK YOU! dumb scumbag, the number is much bigger

    besides, you don't have to kill anybody to keep them out of society, you ignorant moron butcher

    Gee, I hope you too will get executed with those innocents, you kind of deserve it!

    google for "DNA testing mistakes", fucking dumb shit

  • calm down, you whiny flamer.

    And please, go back to school and at least earn your GED before you try to discuss semi-intellectual ideas.
