Title: Superior Entertainment, Essential History
Review: I'll apply to this 2-disc set a frequently abused adjective that in this case is altogether justified: incredible.A word on format: Disc 1 is more a documentary, with narrative--aptly hosted by Kris Kristofferson at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium--and interviews presiding over excerpts from the ABC Cash series. Disc 2 reverses the angle: It's a compilation of many "greatest hits" from among the 57 hours, with only occasional commentary. Among those interveiwed are Marshall Grant and Bill Williams, the arranger and director of the series' pit orchestra. Predictably, both are very informative. Excerpts from the series are well balanced, reflecting the original's spirit: Cash at the center, country-heavy yet eclectic, a spot of gospel here, a touch of Opry farce there, "Ride This Train," and the ensemble conclusions.A word of rebuttal: Already there are those complaining that we haven't been given every installment in its entirety. Let's curb our impatience and be grateful for what we have: beautifully restored, well edited, representative samples of the show, whose purchase now might pave the way for more to follow. Those who may complain that there's not enough Cash and too much (fill in the blank) should remember that this star was extraordinarily gracious in giving so much time to his guests and to duets with them. Furthermore, let's remember that there are few legal knots more tangled than the reproduction of music, because the rights for use are so complicated: the songwriter, the lyricist, the publisher, the arrangement, the performers, their unions, etc. I consider it a miracle that we have been given here so much, not so little. To pronounce a rare benediction: God bless the lawyers in this project!As to the DVDs themselves, I repeat myself: incredible. We have Cash, at the very peak of his mid-career height, who was never better than when performing live before an appreciative audience. We have the unsung yet ever reliable Carl Perkins with the Tennessee Three (Grant, Bob Wooton, Fluke Johnson), tearing up the pea-patch. Mother Maybelle Carter and the Carter Sisters, all still young. The Statler Brothers, beginning to make their own name with "Flowers on the Wall" (which they perform here, after their Grammy Award). Those are "only" the regulars. The guest stars nearly comprise a Who's Who of American music in the '60s: Bill Monroe, doing the "Elvis version" of "Blue Moon of Kentucky." Louis Armstrong. Bob Dylan. Joni Mitchell. Chet Atkins. Ray Charles--whose soul version of "Ring of Fire" has to be heard and seen to be believed. From Cash's Sun days, Jerry Lee Lewis and Roy Orbison. Derek and the Dominoes (representing country music's influence on America's British Invasion of the 60s). And on and on and on.A must for Cash fans, this set should be purchased by anyone wanting a time capsule of popular music in the mid-twentieth century. Utterly entertaining and, at almost four hours, cheap at the price.

Title: The Man ahead of his time
Review: Johnny Cash has always been a pert of my musical experience. His wisdom in life and recognizing other talented people is what i admire the most out of him. He has helped more musicians than anyone else during his time. And those folks were fans and loved his craft before he discovered them only to continue to adore him and appreciate his humble gestures. The one shining example is Trent Reznor from NIN. When johnny covered the song hurt it accentuated the despair that the song has and it proved to be one of trent's most cherished moments to hear his version of hurt.Well in this dvd shot in the late 70's Johnny is at it again. the great moments of his tv show shot in the famed Ryman theater in Nashville at a time when the music and artist were not mainstream is pure genius. There are some vintage performances on this dvd sure to attract fans of music be it country rock or blues it's all here.The Johnny Cash Show: The Best of Johnny CashBo dylan, Linda Ronstadt, Credence Clearwater revival are a few of the artists on this dvd. I don't remember all of the featured artists on the dvd and don't have the dvd in my possesion it's currently on loan to my friend Rich from the Great Notch Inn.Buy this dvd you will love it.

Title: Something every music fan should own
Review: I can't get over how good this DVD is. Great sound, nice color picture, legends galore in their prime or just a tad past or before it, and of course it's all tied together and revolves around Cash's songs and commentary.Completely non-pretentious, everything's mic'd up separately and live (no digital enhancements or huge mixing boards). It takes place in a famous theatre that looks like more like a southern evangelical church.I guess the best part is watching legends of rock, country and blues in their primes, or in their youth, make brief appearances and managing to blow away the crowd.Everything else has been said here for the most part, it's just something you can truly appreciate and enjoy, even if you aren't the biggest Cash or country fan, but love the roots of country, rock or the blues.One minute Dylan's strumming his guitar with Johnny in front of the fire place, the next has Jerry Lewis kicking his piano bench off the stage during one if his mid-song fits, Bill Monroe belting out his classic bluegrass, a clean cut Hank Jr. showing off his beautiful country voice, or Neil Young eliciting a standing ovation, and it goes on and on like this...just amazing footage, and reminds me of what TV used to be like in the 70's, with our 4 channels.A must have!

Title: Amazing and I hate the DVD format
Review: I'm not sure why any show is only on DVDs these days, but my PlayStation can play them and I saw a couple of clips of this show on YouTube and in Ken Burns Country Music documentary. I bit the bullet and bought the DVDs. The show has an amazing open diverse spirit, not the impression that I had of the South in the 60s and 70s. genderCash was a special person, bringing in many incredible artists who are now legends when they were young from a wide spectrum of music. It seems if Cash thought you were a special musician, no matter genre, race, gender, politics, or whatever then he tried to get you on his show. It is just clips from his show though, I really hope the actual full episodes are streamed in the near future.

Review: I recall watching this show on TV when I was much younger (as were the performers). It was great seeing their performances again and remembering what a good host Johnny Cash had been.

Review: Diese Doppel-DVD ist einfach ein "Muß" für Johnny Cash Fans. Die Bild- und Tonqualität der Aufnahmen sind echt super für die damalige Zeit. Nur ausgerechnet beim Duett mit Bob Dylan beim Song "Girl from the North Country" ziehen leicht störende Streifen durchs Bild. Mir gefällt vor allem auch die Moderation durch Kris Kristofferson. Es ist wirklich beeindruckend, wer alles in der Johnny Cash TV Show aufgetreten ist. Auf der ersten DVD gefallen mir die Auftritte von Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger sowie Marty Robbins besonders. Auf der zweiten DVD sind Carl Perkins, Derek and the Dominos, Jerry Lee Lewis, sowie Tony Joe White meine persönlichen Favoriten. Aber überhaupt, auf diesen zwei DVDs gibt es keinen einzig wirklich schlechten Song, sondern das genaue Gegenteil. Die Auswahl der Musiker und deren Songs ist ein purer Genuß. Bis auf Elvis Presley selber sind somit auch alle Musiker des Million Dollar Quartet in der Show aufgetreten. Tja, sogar Roy Orbison ist dabei und singt mit Johnny Cash im Duett "Oh, Pretty Woman". Gerade die Duett-Stücke in der TV-Show sind klasse.Deshalb gibt es von mir volle 5 Sterne, obwohl diese Zusammenstellung schon weit über 5 Sterne verdient hätte.

Review: Bought for my father who marveled over just about every guest artist and was amazed at the sound quality. Also, it seems to be something people will return to over time and offers two styles of viewing; picking segments separately or letting the disc play through. Just enough at two discs where more would be exhausting for many. The scene with John and June singing Turn Around to their baby son literally devastated me! It was nice to see the Everlys with their Dad Ike as well. Lots of wonderful, warm, even haunting, memories for anyone who was alive then, and oh, those sideburns on some of the guys!
