I got to play with him in I think it was 1973 when his entourage stopped into the truck stop where my country band was playing. I played 3 songs with him and got a photo too.
Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤😊❤❤
Solie"s picking was great. I agree. This is his best performance of "Flat Top Box". Simple and great. Picking was spot on. I know all of JC songs are great, this is just my favorite performance of this song.
I'm not familiar with solie, but I know Bob Wootton was his long time guitar player after original member Luther Perkins died in a house fire. Can anyone fill me in on what I'm missing here?
It's nice pickin, agreed, but then it isn't what any capable guitar player would think of as difficult in any way. Just nice, clean picking. And it sounds great!
His daughter looked for years for the person that owned the rights to this song cause she wanted to record it and then she found out it was her dad such a awesome person
Yup. I love classic country like this! I kind of stopped listening to the country radio stations, because now we've got snap/clap track songs everywhere.
How in old days, people dressed up sober, there was no need to jump on stage crazy and still made long lasting impact on audience! Singers, they were.. in true sense.
R.I.P to a great man. Miss him and his musical style . Fortunately we have his memory and his albums to remind us of what Country music was when we were growing up .
I've been a fan of Johnny Cash since the early 50s when country music was truly country. There will never be another man like Johnny Cash - he lived the songs he wrote and sung. RIP Johnny - you live on in many, many hearts. Love this song.
I'm an 80s metal head who enjoys anything from classic rock to some rap, new to old country music. Johnny Cash holds a special place in my heart. Love it!
Jim Soldi is from San Diego and is one of the finest lead guitarists around. I was fortunate to play for a few months with him in a church fellowship setting, a few years ago. I loved it. I also just love this song with Jim's lead. It brings tears to my eyes.
i love this song...especially this particular performance...Cash is wonderful of course...but the guitarist does an amazing job too! And Cash even gives him props during the song!
I swear to whoever you believe in, every time I hear this song I cry no matter how many times I repeat it. And no matter how many times I analyse the words or voice or music I can not point out what makes it so legendary. Live on Johnny Cash
You're a GROWN MAN and not only did you admit to crying... you wrote it down for the world to read on RU-vid.. on a Johnny Cash video no less!! *STRAIGHTEN UP*
The best; one of my favorite Cash songs sung by the great Rosanne with Randy Scruggs and her husband playing guitar. It was one helluva show with the Mavericks as back up band.
I saw him in Carbondale, Illinois about 1971 or 72. Carl Perkins opened with Blue Suede Shoes, there was the Tennessee 3, The Statlers, Momma Maybelle and the Carter sisters,and who am I forgetting? The show ended with everybody on stage, doing will the Circle, Be Unbroken.
I saw him 3 different times. 1st was at what was called 'Grand ol Opry West' in Sacramento in the late 50s with him & about a dozen other country stars on in 1 night, the 2nd time was at the San Juaquen County Fair in Stockton with his wife June & then 1 time in Vegas as well.
I never got to meet him but he played at a bar family members owned and my mom and dad got to meet and talk to him. My mom has a great pic of her and a friend standing there with John. But at least i got to see him in concert and listen to the records.I never though since i was born in 1960 that he would be gone before i died! I thought him and Waylon and George. would always be here helping us through all of lifes BS with their music. RIP John I love you man!Thanks for the autographed picture you sent me when i was a little kid.
We are blessed in San Diego as Jim Soldi continues to share his guitar prowess with us. He is gifted and I appreciate his expertise everytime I hear him play.
Jeff, You are so right. I'm in San Diego too and have had the joy of playing a few times with him in a church, with Barry leading on Keys, besides just hearing him play in his top country band.
I've gone from a recording in the fifties to two live videos from the '70s and now I'm watching a video from the '80s. And Johnny sounded so fucking good in every one
Es magnífico... me encanta su música y la forma de interpretarla, excelente persona, que descanse en paz. Me gustan sus interpretaciones con Rosanne Cash y con Linda Ronstadt.
I generally prefer Johnny Cash's version of every song, no matter which one, but with Tennessee Flat Top Box I actually prefer Roseanne Cash's version...
Saw Johnny Cash in Jackson Michigan at the state fair outside in a huge baseball stadium. Fourth row from the front with Carl Perkins,the statler brothers,Maybelle Carter two of her daughter's minus June Carter. Bob Wooten had replaced Luther Perkins. Johnny played a solid two hours nonstop. It was 1976 a boy named sue had just been recorded. I was coming back from battle creek Michigan saw a sign promoting the concert wheeled my new triumph Bonneville around and my wife and I bought tickets. Been a huge fan since forever,still have original vinyl listen to them all the time. RIP.🎵🎶🎵
I'm so grateful to my grandmother, may she rest in peace, for instilling a love for Johnny Cash in me. She sang us all his songs and the old bat could NOT carry a tune but we loved it anyway. She LOVED her some Johnny Cash.
tina ibrahim I'm not saying he was stupid. I'm saying he had a rough life. He struggled and had a huge burden. His life was hard and people should be glad they don't have to go through it. Drugs don't make someone a bad person.
i like his daughters version of this song a little better but he has so many other songs that nobody can top. the man playing guitar on this with johnny is very talented. wow!!!. one of my all time favorites of johnny cash songs is one piece at a time he is truly a legend and will be missed. todays country singers just dont have the talent like johnny and others of his era did. people in the entertainment industry in those days could do it all, sing, dance, act and all without any devices to help them no electronic gadgets to enhance their voices or special cammeras to make them look better it was plain and simple pure raw talent and most if not all the currant entertainers cant claim that
Patti Gundersen i love most of johny's songs but yes his daughter did this a little better. one of my favorite johny cash songs is one piece at a time, i have had several cars that had parts from other cars of different years just not as many or as different as his cycobilly cadialic. i probably misspelled that but i think you may understand.he had so many good songs its hard to really pick just one as a favorite but thats mine
This is one of my favorite country songs, no matter who sings it, Johnny or Rosanne, or even the version where father and daughter sing this song together, its just a great song. And another thing about great artist like Johnny Cash, he was a humble man, no one else introduced himself when he came on stage, Saying "Hi I'm Johnny Cash" no one else did that but Johnny even tho he didn't need and introduction, and he and the other greats would introduce their band members when they had solos.
I love this song more than I can say, BUT, I do like his daughter's version better. Both of them are absolutely fantastic, but Rosanne Cash's version just adds an extra depth. Look it up.
Thank you Johnny for my dream of playing guitar i like to pick and i play by ear it's a gift from Carl Perkins-Elvis-AND you my fave country singer of all time
Johnny Cash was an absolute legend in the Country Music field and I miss his style . Today's country music is nothing like these artist of the 50's,60's, 70's and 80's. Waylon, Merle, Willie, and so many others.
I've been trying to remember what was playing every other tune, pretty sure it was Patsy Kline and "Crazy!" One would play, then the other, over and over. We had twenty minutes in the morning for a break, couple hundred guys, wet smelly uniforms coming out of the cold and into the packed snack bar, hot chocolate and a honey bun. Snack of MPs everywhere.
I'm an 80's guy and I sing along with the 80's songs when they come up in the rotation on our muzak at work. Today (yes, the warehouse was open on the 4th of July) a coworker asked me if I liked Johnny Cash. I said of course, who doesn't. He asked me to sing a Johnny Cash song. I started singing this. He and three other people said I fucking nailed it. Occasionally, I think I'm a pretty good singer. Like when there's Rock Band at a party and I'm the one who sings when we beat the hard songs.
as a kid me and my three brothers would make my dad play this song , i bet he hated this song because we would only want to hear this song and this song only lol love it still!
What is a Tennesse Flat Top Box Guitar? I cannot find an explanation in Google Is it a cigar box? Is it a type of manufacturing thingy Does it have F-Slots or a hole?? Is it electric or Akoustic?? Can you please tell?? Pieter:)
@@bobreams5178 Much the same. DW is from here. He is the reason the term 'flatpicking' was created. Do yourself a fav and listen. This is still an excellent performance.
I don't know how this "heros" come to be. this guy was on drugs as an adult and honestly, can barely carry a tune, OMG if you think this guy can actually sing, youmust also like rock. :*
@Mary LaFLeur, if you do not like Johnny Cash why did you bother to stop here? You are welcome to your opinion and it makes no difference as there are MILLIONS of us in the USA and around the world who are fans and love Johnny Cash, his music and yes, the way he sang. He had many faults, and he worked throughout his life to overcome them - when he fell he got up and tried again - at heart he was a good, kind person, and he was a musical and creative genius who has left us an extensive, diverse, wonderful music legacy to enjoy in perpetuity!!
@Brendakaylewisa. Good morning and nice comment, I love this song very much and I felt goosebumps when I listed it by the way. How are you and how is the weather today?
Guitar picker Jim Soldi's father owned Valley Music in El Cajon (San Diego CA). In 1961 Johnny Cash went there after a show. Jim's father "Cactus" opened the store and sold Cash a new guitar and took the old one in trade. Cash signed the old guitar with a nail, and Jim Soldi kept it. The guitar was stolen and recovered but the thief had sanded out Cash's signature. Years later Cash performed in San Diego, Soldi brought him the guitar and Cash signed it with a Swiss Army knife. srj
I had the pleasure to see and meet him and his lovely wife at a concert in Germany. It was one of the best live concerts I have ever seen, both where sensational on stage. A very big piece of Country Music died as Johnny left this world. RIP.
Johnny Cash is one of my Music Heros. He ranks up there with Buck & Don, Roy Clark, the Statlers, Merle Haggard, Josh Turner, and Tennessee Ernie Ford.
This was on Ring Of Fire the first Johnny Cash LP I ever bought back in the 60's -I still have the Lp and the CD and I also rate Roseanne cash's tribute version of this song.
Mr John Cash was one in a million and I had the pleasure of seeing him live three times I was blessed by our Lord to see the man in black in person something I will cherish always
That's why Johnny's a great guy, he was always humble. Gives credit to Jim Soldi there on the guitar, great guitar playing. The song is a peak into the life of an entertainer. Guy who loves what he's doing. So important in life. The line in the song about girls selling their jewelry just so they could watch their favorite musician in concert is priceless. "All the girls..from 9 to 90..." that's a lyric. The song tells a story, makes you want to listen and has a great melody. Easily one of my favorite Cash songs. Such simplicity, good ole country nature to it and the live performance here is a gem. There is something magical that happens when listening to Cash.
