Johnny Cash - 1959 Full Concert Compton, CA

[@prepostmodern1032]

Probably the best version of Goodbye Little Darlin that we have recorded. Raw and powerful.

[@kadeberrier3799]

Luther's amp is just screaming! Sounds like it's not mic'd and he's just cranking the volume up

Nejlepší kapela❤❤❤💋💋💋

What a powerful performer he was. With the Tennessee Two it was dynamite. No more instruments were needed.

[@j.c.perkins4570]

Aw yes Bandana!

[@danielcyr7054]

This is the “real” Johnny Cash. This album was recorded six months after I was backstage with him in Bristol, CT when he gave me my first guitar lesson in September 1958. He’s been a great inspiration in my life, the bad and the good.

Thanks for sharing the story! He gave you a free lesson?

1971,I am 5 yrs old,spending the weekend with my Grammy and Papaw,in their trailor, on the Ky side of the OhioRiver,15 miles upstream from Louisville,watching the JohnnyCash Show on a b&w tv, with foil rabbit ears antennae.....Cash starts “BigRiver’, and of course for a little boy back then, Cash was Manna from Heaven,with songs of cowboys,convicts,JohnHenry,CaseyJones,RockIslandLine,and Big Rivers...I gazed out the window at fireflies down by the rivers edge,and just as Cash sang,” then you took me to StLouis, RiverQueen,rollin on”,around the bend at 18 Mile Island, came TheBelleofLouisville, our towns beloved grand ol,lady,all lit up because it’s SaturdayNightDance cruise. And that’s when it dawned on me that the tempo to “BigRiver”is EXACTLY the same as an 105 year old 18,000lb bucket plank paddle wheel smashing the water. The image of Cash beating hell outta that guitar, and sounding great, was forever etched into brain ....

Super

[@cvarmy1]

Absolutely amazing sound quality

[@rosco272002]

Thanks. Every Johnny's performance is precious.

[@dwb50]

Absolutely fantastic. Thanks so much. This music comes from the heart and soul of the universe.

[@yannremy3081]

1959. I guess he played the fender Jazzmaster at the time

[@danielcyr7054]

Johnny Cash literally stole the first show from the DJ’s who invited him. Being alone backstage between two performances, he welcomed my friend and I. When he played the Chord, it mesmerized throughout my body. Ooh, what a sound!

[@lcar4000]

Great sound! Thanks for posting.

It is like Stephen Miller writes it in his book. The people did not know it at the time, but live, the drugs already made him big problems to perform 100% in a "good" shape. Still, Johnny Cash was always great.

Luther plays a different lead break on the first song

[@waldemarakrapsata8406]

Při písni Big river má divný hlas,jako by to nebyl on

[@JohnnyCashCentral]

Indeed, they were a force. I have no problem with modern day music, but I wonder if any band today could pull of such a powerful show with such a sparse arrangement.

[@lcar4000]

JohnnyCashfan66 right i agree. Plus the sound systems back then were probably pretty crude even by today's bar band PA systems.

[@lvlehrshad]

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLANET ?

[@leemeakins2713]

Luther was the best...not technically....But raw....

[@alexanderpotts7308]

True, but then when guitarists play a lot of Johnny Cash songs, they all try and copy Luther's lead lines and twang. You can't say that about some of the other lead guitarists from that period

[@jamesbrannigan5620]

Luther had the feeling that technical players couldn't replicate

[@yannremy3081]

He had a technic! Its own. Not shredding or other complicated stuffs, but he was technicaly good as he had a very personnal style which is based on percussive mutted patterns

[@TheAtomBat]

@@jamesbrannigan5620 I tried to play like ol Luther if you wanna check out
