Very rare footage of Johnny Cash's last show at the Carter Ranch on July 5th 2003.
June Carter Cash died on May 15, 2003, at the age of 73. June had told Cash to keep working, so he continued to record, completing 60 more songs in the last four months of his life, and even performed a couple of surprise shows at the Carter Family Fold outside Bristol, Virginia. At the July 5, 2003 concert (his last public performance), before singing "Ring of Fire", Cash read a statement about his late wife that he had written shortly before taking the stage:
" The spirit of June Carter overshadows me tonight with the love she had for me and the love I have for her. We connect somewhere between here and heaven. She came down for a short visit, I guess, from heaven to visit with me tonight to give me courage and inspiration like she always has. "

Cash died of complications from diabetes less than four months after his wife, at approximately 2:00 a.m. CT on September 12, 2003, while hospitalized at Baptist Hospital in Nashville. It was suggested that Johnny's health worsened due to a broken heart over June's death.[74][75] He was buried next to his wife in Hendersonville Memory Gardens near his home in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

  • ¸.·♫•*¨*•¸¸(¯`♥´¯) M.

  • I hung my head and cry... R.I.P. Johnny

  • This is such a very moving tribute to one of Country Music's best performers of all time. As you can see this performance took place a few weeks after Johnny's wife June passed on and it is such a poignant moment there wasn't a dry eye in the place. Within a few months Johnny would later join June & they're now together in heaven.

  • During Walk the Line you can sense his broken heart, very moving.

  • Awesome and sad at the same time.

  • yes thank you indeed

  • Thank you, this is a wonderful document...The ghost of the old churchyard is happy to find this.
