This CD has received some undeserved pans, but I just finished it for the first of many times, and it's outstanding. Cash is totally stoked, Linda Ronstadt is amazing, Roy Clark is at the top of his game, and even Foster Brooks is funny, and I wasn't even expecting him to appear. Yes, Cash had to sing some songs too fast and cut verses out, but that was pandemic on his live albums, so you accept it and love the best of the best. Top shelf stuff here.

Sorry all you Johnny Cash lovers, but you're wrong. This is indeed as great concert and very enjoyable to listen to. Considering the age of this recording the sound is excellant. I think the problem here is the way this concert was promoted. Eagle Records, foolishly put Johnny Cash on the cover only like he was the only person signing on it, when clearly he is not. This is why some people feel "cheated". To Eagle Records I say please do not do this again. All the artists in this concert should have been given equal billing. You see it's true, honesty IS the best policy. Other than that the concert is GREAT. I truely love listening to it. Linda Ronstadt sounds FANTASTIC, as beautiful as the rose of a woman she is. To those who are mad that Johnny C is not more featured, I say relisten to the CD and enjoy it for WHAT IT IS. All performers are in great voice and healthy. God bless um. That's enough for me.

ok, i only own the dvd but the cd has the exact same stuff. as far as i'm concerned, this was a good show, maybe not great. so it isn't all johnny...well boo hoo. roy clark and linda rondstadt are great musicians as well, though maybe not as timeless as johnny (though i think linda at least comes close). not familiar with em? thought this would be all johnny? try listening to the others. u might even grow to like em. at the least u'll learn something. i always love watching roy's seamless lead guitar and banjo picking on the dvd. as for johnny, his extended monologue on orange blossom special is priceless and available nowhere else. the man shines like he always does. of course he sounds different from san quentin and folsom prison--those were different concerts! try seeing more than one side of a performer for once. as for the overdubbing, i don't know how it was on some old video but on the dvd such a claim is nonsense. i watched the musicians carefully, especially bob wooten (as I always try to imitate him) and everything syncs up. i know wooten's playing, as well as carl perkins'. there was no dubbing here. get this if you're a country fan or if u have an OPEN MIND about good music.
