Happy 80th Charlie Daniels

Johnny at Glastonbury

I don't normally post video of entire concerts, but given that today is the 13 anniversary of Johnny Cash's death, I am going to make an exception today. This video is the complete performance of Cash's 1994 concert at The Glastonbury Festival in England. This concert followed shortly after the release of his first American Recordings album, after his abandonment by the major recording companies. The concert starts out with performances of some of his biggest hits. Then Johnny performs solo acoustic versions of some of the songs his American Recordings album. Following that, there are a couple Johnny and June duets. Johnny then plays two harmonicas on "Orange Blossom Special". The concert ends with an encore of "A Boy Named Sue".

Three versions of "Far Side Banks of Jordan ". The first by the Carter Family, probably from the 1950's or early 60's, although the video in this one does not actually go with the audio. The second performance by Johnny Cash and June Varter Cash probably from around 2000. Finally a very recent version by the Cox Family.
