Editorial Review:
Johnny Cash needs little introduction. He was one of the true legends of Country Music from his days in the mid-50s when he was recording for Memphis Sun Records through his classic 60s recordings for Columbia Records onto more recent achievements as "The Man In Black" with Def American Records. In "Johnny Cash! The Man His World His Music" film-maker Bob Elfstrom documented several months in Cash s life alongside guitarist Carl Perkins (legendary rock star of the fifties) bass player Marshall Grant drummer W.S. Holland and the Carter Sisters June Helen and Anita. Children and family members are seen from time to time but this is essentially Johnny Cash taking his show on the road. A unique portrait of an artist who by the time this documentary was first screened in 1970 arguably was as famous and as popular as any singer in America.The film was shot between August 1968 and early 1969 and cuts and pastes live clips with fascinating homebackstage and behind-the-scenes footage to offer an insider s glimpse of a man on top of his game having just been crowned at the Country Music Awards for his latest album "Live At San Quentin."Almost all of the major participants are now gone. Carl Perkins died in January 1998. Helen Carter died in June that year. Anita Carter died in July 1999. Johnny Cash and June Carter lived 34 years after this documentary was completed. The contrast between Johnny Cash seen here and the Johnny Cash of late years ravaged by Parkinson s disease diabetes glaucoma and respiratory problems shows what terrible price he paid for the life he had chosen. After June Carter died on May 15 2003 John did not last long and the end came for him on September 12 2003. He had been to the brink so often but lacked the strength for one more fight.System Requirements:Running Time: 80 minutesFormat: DVD AUDIO Genre: MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS Rating: NR UPC: 060768833692 Manufacturer No: 88336-9

Rating: - An Intimate Look at a Music Legend!
I admit it I'm a newbie. A bandwagon jumper. I only got into Johnny Cash's music after seeing the biographical major motion picture, "Walk the Line". But since then I've been collecting his music like crazy. I have been especially enamored with the 'Man in Black's' live recordings ("Folsom Prison", "San Quentin". "Madison Square Garden"). In those live recordings he comes across as so genuine, plain spoken & honest. He really seems to put himself out there. Was it for real or was it just a persona ... Read More
Rating:  - The best no-holds-barred video out there on Cash
If you like Cash like I do, this is bar-none the best DVD to add to your collection.
You feel like you're riding along with him & the band.
There is no narration, and there didn't need to be.
I can't stress how good this DVD is to add to your collection. It's as if you were riding along with Cash back in his heyday, no commercialism, no fancy packaging, just raw footage of him & what he was doing at the time.
In later years I've seen a lot of ... Read More
Rating: - Simply the best Johnny Cash DVD available
Let me start off this review by stating that this is a fairly low budget, almost amateurish production. The sound and the pictures leave a lot to be desired...and in comparison to today's slickly produced documentaries, this effort would be laughably dismissed by most people. Most of the footage is shot with a single handheld camera, often in poorly lit rooms. Also, the film negative appears to have been stored in someone's garage for about three decades, resulting in a scratched-up film. Plus, the DVD ... Read More
Rating:  - Dissipointed
When i heard that this was gonna be reissued on Dvd i was pretty excited,I Purchased this on Vhs back in 1992 when i found it in a bargain bin and it was one of the best music video purchases that i've ever made so that made the Dvd issue much anticipated.The Dvd purchase left me dissipointed,the Vhs running time was 90+ minutes, The Dvd running time on this is only 70 minutes, over 20 minutes of the original video are not included even the footage with Johnny Cash singing to a crow in the woods are not ...
