#JohnnyCash #SanQuentin #LIVE
[Chorus:]
San Quentin, I hate every inch of you
You've cut me and have scarred me through and through
And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man
Mister Congressman, you can't understand - เพลง
This man walked into San Quentin and performed a song utterly trashing San Quentin and the entire prison system. Absolutely legendary.
that's called pride fucking with you
@@robertbrass6255lol alright Marcellus.
He f*ckin did. Legend.
He did it… and all of them had a nice time inside of that walls …..legend
Johnny trashed San Quentin and the prison system
One of the most revolutionary live performances of all time, no one had the balls to go into a place like this and put on a great show but Cash. What he did for prison reform in America will never been forgotten.
Hello, how are you doing. I believe you are staying safe. I'm Patti from California. I'm looking for a new friend and i saw you pic here. I hope you don't mind, thank you.
Having spent time in prison the song speaks to my soul, even if J.R spent no time behind bars, he certainly absorbed and felt that energy judging by the response of the guys
His push for the civil rights of indigenous people too. Cash was such a warm, decent man
He redefined country music and made it relevant through this performance. Every genre has its geniuses and Johnny Cash was as great a genius musically as Bob Dylan or Frank Zappa.
Actually prison concerts were quite popular before this.
He is definitely one of the few artists that will never be equal to the world. He is someone that every singer and musician should take as an example.
My name is Sam Quinton and my uncle used to sing this to me as a kid lmao
If I could like this comment twice, I would 😂
What an awesome uncle.
Sam Quinton I hate every inch of you.
Lol you lie!
1:44
Johnny keeps posting from Heaven, and that’s just fine by me.
Just goes to show that even death cant stop him from making music
@Lum Not sure I regret when I'm born but I would sure like a time machine.
Ain’t no grave holding Johnny down
John isn't dead, he's just at his true home with Jesus.
Amen!
I’m 85 now I was a young man back in 1969. I broke a man up in a street fight did some time in san Quentin. I was there in the back somewhere. Won’t ever forget the atmosphere!
thats genuinely sick
I love Johnny Cash's voice. Looking at these men's faces, not knowing anything about them, whether their incarceration is justified or not, makes me realise they are, after all, human beings. This must have been a great event for them.
exactly
Incarceration is a feeling that is so hard to convey, people often overlook how it can change you for the rest of your life, the way the world moves on without you, it’s like your life is thrown into an oboulet
And most of those men that we see , eventually ended up getting out of San Quentin and went on to have kids and grandkids , and I bet they told them all the story of this memory. I bet it is one of the bestest memories they ever had.
You'd really dig Colter Wall then.
@@derekarmstrong9024 yeah and also how he was reading the lyrics on a sheet of paper on the top portion of the guitar
Still listening to the legendary man in black in 2024 !
❤
he knew he was no different then those men in prison. another sinner. truly the man walked the walk. Christ like.
An incredible masterpiece and one of the most powerful live performances ever. No trash talk, no gangsta sh*t, no autotune, no special effects, no fake fans - just a middle aged man in a plain black suit, sitting down, and playing guitar.
2024 still listening to Johnny Cash even though im in my 20s people say I have old soul and im from Africa Tigray that makes it even more complicated 😊 Johnny lives on for generations to come 0:19
I'm 89 now and when I saw this it was surreal. Johnny cash I love you your made my jail time 10 x easier
That guitar rift cuts right through you. It’s almost as though you can feel the despair in it, absolutely incredible.
Reminds of the same effect Hanks guitar would have. Like it personified sorrow
@@LarryGoggins000 100%. Makes you feel the words more so I think.
Fun fact: Merle Haggerd was an inmate at San Quentin at this time, and Johnny cash inspired him to start making country music.
..and president Reagan Pardoned him.
Not quite right. Merle was in San Quentin from 1958 to 1960. This is 1969, by this time Merle Haggard was already a country star with multiple #1 albums and singles. The story is true, just 10 years before this and not recorded.
@@marquettegloves9907 Google "When did johnny cash first perform at san quentin?" Answer: January 1, 1958
.
San Quentin is where Cash played his first-ever prison concert on January 1, 1958-a concert that helped set Merle Haggard, then a 20-year-old San Quentin inmate, on the path toward becoming a country music legend.

@@michaelalando @Michael Alando yeah, but this particular performance was 1969, not the one that Merle Haggard
would've seen which is what they're saying
@@michaelalando ok so the first live was in '58 but in the lyrics he says he is in San Quentin since 1963. How is it possible?
The term GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) gets thrown around a lot these days, but Johnny Cash was without a doubt the GOAT! I’ll do everything I can to honor his memory. God bless the man in black
I honestly can't believe they allowed him to play a song like this about San Quentin at San Quentin. Like really, that's pretty amazing.
I know right? I can't believe they let him sing it there to the inmates. That's all kinds of awesome.
Maybe he didn't tell anyone beforehand. In fact, notice at the beginning it takes the inmates a second or two to react.
Earlier on in the performance Cash mentions how this was being filmed for TV, he goes on to say how the TV company will tell you what songs to sing and where to stand, but he then adds "but I'm gonna do what you (the prisoners) want and what *I* want" or words to that effect.
So he probably didn't tell anyone that him and the band planned to play this one :)
La musica può tutto
Music can do anything
They couldn’t have stopped him
They can’t keep him from playing what’s in his soul to play
1969 I was 15 now I'm 66 and rediscovered Johnny Cash. The man is a legend.
22 and I love Johnny Cash since I was six.
This is the most badass live performance ever lol
Metallica in Moscow
2024 still listening to Johnny Cash even though im in my 20s people say I have old soul and im from Africa Tigray that makes it even more complicated 😊 Johnny lives on for many generations to come
I used to live near San Quentin, in California. I worked in nursing homes for the developmentally disabled, in the Bay Area. I am now retired, and living in New Orleans, Louisiana. Another wonderful and lovely place to retire.
The faces of the inmates are haunting. Johnny clearly understood and cared about them.
Yeah but it surprises me that all the faces were white.
Didn't black people know about crimes back then ?
I still can’t believe there used to be a time when a legendary singer could go to a maximum security prison ( San Quentin ) and play songs in front of tons of the most dangerous prisoners at the time and they were right in front of him. Want a legend..
they respected him. 99% of prisoners are only situationally dangerous
Shows that each one of them is human and respected Cash massively for what he was willing to do for them
One of the most iconic, heartbreaking and revolutionary songs ever. Goodebumps hearing the crowd cheering. Johnny sang their thoughts, made them laugh snd cry. Absolute legend. RIP Johnny.
Who the hell gives a thumbs down to a legend?
Only Dickheads
Probably people who are looking for a not live version
Probably a accident
I hope
obviously has no taste in music
@@JK-gh9ej This is the only version of San Quentin, in live, and it's perfect like that
"And I'll walk out a wiser weaker man" That line always sticks with me.
I dunno about weaker. Wisdom can give strength, too.
@@amandajstar Not to sound pessimistic, I don't intend that at all. But I know a lot of folk, even me in some instances, feel our experiences that we learned from gave us wisdom, but left us with a hole in our hearts. Weak as in tormented, cynical, depressive. Even if we know right from wrong, and good from bad, we still hurt, and that's usually referred to as weakness
@@whitehorse8558 Good point well made, W.
The one thumbs down is Mr. Congressman
he couldn't understand how to like it
It's probably a Lousy Democrat!
@@alaexpectativaentodo7066 democrats tent to be more accommodating towards prisoners actually as they tend to be more against privatization and also marketisation of prisons. I'm not a democrat by any means but if I was a prisoner and I could vote (obviously hypothetical) I know which side I'd be on.
Already 121 congressmen!!
@@corneliadenninger5395 He told all his congressmen friends
The most iconic line in music history: "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash."
There'll never become another country musician like Johnny Cash. When I was a school kid, far from my home at 1967. I used to listen to the radio and I found Johnny Cash. I was homesick, but Johnny's songs helped me go on and study. Since then I have collected Johnny's recordings. Johnny and June have past away but songs will survive at the very arctic Finnish Lapland. Regards with love from Finnish Lapland.
Love from australia. Xo
Love and listening 2020 from quebec province🇨🇦🇫🇷
love
"San Quentin, you’ve been livin’ hell to me
You’ve hosted me since nineteen sixty three
I’ve seen ‘em come and go and I’ve seen them die
And long ago I stopped asking why
San Quentin, I hate every inch of you
You’ve cut me and have scarred me through and through
And I’ll walk out a wiser weaker man
Mister Congressman, you can’t understand
San Quentin, what good do you think you do?
Do you think I’ll be different when you’re through?
You bent my heart and mind and you warp my soul
And your stone walls turn my blood a little cold
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell
May your walls fall and may I live to tell
May all the world forget you ever stood
And may all the world regret you did no good.
San Quentin, you’ve been living hell to me".
BLISTERED ! Son not hosted.
You've BLISTERED ME not hosted. And it's BEND my heart and mind not bent.
What sad words.
This is literally one of the greatest performances of all time! Gave me chills
Johnny Cash seemed to know how the inmates felt. Maybe from reading all thier letters. I will always like Johnny. May he R.i.p. because he had a hard life for many years.
Johnny Cash went to prison 7 times. In total he served 1 week as they let him out after 24 hours each time.
No wonder the inmates:and so many of us loved the man in black. Purely a legend !
My God,I love it when he sings"San Quentin I Hate Every Inch of You"and all the boys kick off.Brilliant.I was watching a documentary about Johnny where he comes over to the u.k.he travels up to Scotland to trace his ancient family lineage.He goes to Edinburgh and even sees the streets named Cash Lane etc.
I will argue that "I hate every inch of you" is the most beautiful lyric written in human history.
Let's not get carried away... lol.
I love waking up everyday to a piece of a Johnny Cash history posted in my sub box.
20 years gone today, rest in peace to one of the most iconic country singers ever ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
That was the voice of God and the biggest set of balls ever attached to a man singing!!! RIP Johnny 😞🙏💔
I stood watch/guard duty at USN Treasure Island 1967, two hours a night, looking west the island San Quentin loomed large. Very cold metaphysically.
Crazy to think this was 50 years ago, what a legend
Crazy to think he was only 37 that year.
It was longer than 50 years ago.
Suggestion,
Ring of fire
Written by his very talented wife.
June Carter cash.another legend.
F'ing Legend
Cash was by far one of the best artists of all time. Back when Country music had meaning beyond trucks and beer
I still get chills from this! RIP Johnny we miss you sir.🙏🏼
RIP? He's not dead lol.
@@Nikolak44_AJ_Epic Hes been dead for fucking 20 years.
He passed on in 2003, but for his fans he will never die.@@Nikolak44_AJ_Epic
@@Nikolak44_AJ_Epicclearly don’t know Johnny cash then cause he passed away in 2003
This sends shivers down my spine. RIP Johnny Cash.
If this was the only performance that he ever made, it still would’ve been as epic. Notice how this kind of performance has never happened since. Coincidence? 😮
I wonder if Johnny knew how relevant his songs would be 50 years later
I would have been Leary of drinking water after singing San Quentin. Lol. The man in black was freakin awesome
I cant wait till I'm old and show my kids this masterpiece
same
Barbara Owens I’m a young teen who fell in love with his personality and music
Barbara Owens that’s being the same for me, he actually inspired me to learn the guitar!
I hope you won't disappoint
If they will understand sometimes i think that im the only kid that understand johnny cash
Johnny you are the best l grew up with your music cause my mama loved you and now my boy is in prison now and l thimk of you singing your music for San Quentin is amazing l love johnny cash my boy is inasent but we need to prove it
One of the few songs that makes me cry. Nobody else stuck up for those guys who were behind bars. They might have done horrible things, but people deserve a second chance, and shoving them in prison and treating them like dirt is no help to anyone. Johnny was one of the few who stuck up for them. R.I.P.
America is even less compassionate now, judging by the hullabaloo over Lesley Van Houten being released after 54 years.
rest in peace, legend💀❤️🇺🇸
Club Sons of Anarchy 2019 “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore:
At least he is in his true home with the Lord now 😢♥
Descanse en Paz. Gracias Johnny
God bless Johnny Cash. 17 years today he left this earth
The I walk the line movie I watch everyday
He just went home and left us his music to enjoy for eternity :)
Just about 21 years now 😢
This is how you save souls. Not by preaching but by understanding. Johnny Cash did more good with this song than 100 preachers.
00:47 Now envision a fictional serial killer breaking out of prison from execution and saying
“And I’ll walk out a wiser stronger man; Mister Warden you taste just like ham”
Im currently looking for all videos with this song, lookingnfor those who saw that scene in the movie. Im glad I found you.
We all thought alike,,, nice to see I'm not the only one
Carnage
There are not enough superlatives to describe just how good this is. Nuff said.
So good, he played it twice
If you pay attention Cash is wearing basically what they are wearing, letting them know he is just another one of them for that evening, such a genius.
2 years in jail in Italy. San Quentin & folsom prison blues are my therapy. Thank you for those wonderful songs! That means so much for me. I also play guitar and sing and, recently I learn to play and sing those songs... Everytime is a therapy for my wellness. I Love johnny
This song is so so so good. I can't even imagine the hell people went through at this prison. Insane powerful people who brought human beings to this hellhole.
Johnny Cash was my first real exposure to America. Legend.
Makes you almost wish you had broke the law and sent to San Quentin just so you could be there when Johhny Cash delivered the sickest burn in music history.
How this doesn't have many more billions of views and at least 35 million likes, is beyond me.
Absolutely fantastic
This is music history
RIP Johnny Cash
You will never be forgotten
Cash was only 36 here but he looks like an older guy in his 50s.
Drugs.
He suffered in prison, hence his life long attempts at prison reform.
Drugs, alcohol and nicotine. Thats a bad combination.
@@markusjohnsson9155 very true
@Michael Armstrong yes I am just listening to him singing "Drink to Me"
That is power man, who else did what he did?, he was a good example for younger men, he makes you want to do better.
He is a Amazing 😎 i coming from Austria-Vienna and Love his Music!!!
HOPE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD START LOVING. UNDERSTANDING TEACHING EACH OTHER
I often wonder if the prisoners are still alive and if they ever saw the outside world again, this song is just a masterpiece
Who cares they are criminals who's crimes run the gamut from steeling to murder
What a Song.. RESPECT ❤
Great charisma, great voice ... He's the John Wayne of the music world.❤
I wouldn't mind a full release with video of his live performances in San Quentin & Folsom Prison. Maybe as a dvd?
It's not all relased yet. The only thing from folsom is the audio, which is on the album.
Translate Ghost lots of footage of Cash in the PBS documentary of Country Music-Ken Burns
TheNomis1994 Bro how could there not be footage and also how is there not footage of Johnny proposing to June? I know it was a long time ago but you’d think there would be a camera somewhere
I 2nd that! I'd pay good money for that one.
@TheNomis1994 False... The Legacy version of Folsom is a 2 CD, 1 DVD set. (2008)
His Folsom Prison LP in 1968 was definitely an attention getter. But with Live At San Quentin in 1969, Johnny Cash took a quantum leap forward as a visionary. He was THE man in those most trying times.
John was my hero and still is. I rewrote this song and made about my school back in high school and kids would stop me to play it all the time. He’s the reason I play music.
❤. I Love You Very Much. Johnny Cash ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is, for me, one of if not THE greatest and most beautiful moment of rock history
It’s hard not to feel those lyrics, very powerful
The greatest voice ever 😅
My buddies pops was in San Quinton, he OD d in reno. Most my friends are dead ... RIP Robert Gallegos 3rd. Love you man
One of the greatest moments in the history of music.
What a man what a humanitarian what a artist rip June and Johnny I can't think of Johnny without June to J r and Roseanne and all the cash Carter family thank you for these videos they don't make men like your dad anymore no putting on airs just johnny
The only time you can feel so lucky to be a prisoner, was back in the 1969 in San Quentin.. what a honor for that guys see one of the most popular and important male live recording ever..
Imagino que como recluso escuchar una canción que contraste lo duro que significa estar privado de tu libertad y además compuesta por un grande como lo es y lo será Johnny Cash es un sentimiento que solo aquél que estuvo en la prisión San Quentin puede describir. Este señor si que sabía llegar al corazón de las personas, que en paz descanse. 👏
My grandpa spent time in San Quinton and this song makes me think of him all the time , fuck I miss him
Im not from the States but i love this man. My dad used to own an oldtimer Dodge Dart. We used to play classic 8track tapes with this song on it. Special place in my heart.
I even became a hit in the Netherlands after it was translated into dutch and sung by a guy called Alias Berger the hit is called 'veenhuizen' which was a famous Dutch prison at one time
As someone myself who has been to hell and back I see in his eyes a troubled man. If only people would realise what is important is been understood by other people.
The classic does not die, it becomes a legend.
HELLO, JOHNNY CASH ... I will be forever grateful to you.
THANK YOU
Grande Johnny CASH suas canções e toda sua obra é atemporal. 🇧🇷Thank's
RIP jonny cash dam can't believe this legend dead I remember my dad used to play this song alot and I'm 51 years old why all these rock n roll singers dead 😔😔😔😭😭😭
This is what a true legend looks like. RIP Johnny Cash.
My father was a sailor and brought home an LP "Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin" I guess it was around 1974 or -75 when I was 12 years old. So my brother Lars
and I grew up with Johnny Cash as a musical background in our lives. My son Tristan, now 20 years old, has got a musical talent. Guess his biggest idol? ❤️ from Denmark
@Hello Jesper how are you doing
Outstanding!!! He'll be never forgotten!!!
Johnny cash is the fucking man still to this day he might be up there shining bright but your an absolutely legend and elvis Presley
I got chills at the lyric "Mr Congressman, you can't understand." Best fucking lyric ever!! Politicians, right and left, don't know what it's like being them, because they can get away with crimes and not serve jail time. Disgusting!!
Love this. The best version ever. And remember...Cash was still on the pills here. And he did THIS!
The Magic That Is Johnny Cash ❤
@Johnnycashmusicworld You talking from Heaven or Hell ! 😅😅😅
Johnny doesn't tell or show you the footprints made of another man, his talent lets you vision the journey of each one.
From Germany.....my English is bad!!!cash is the best :-*
I understood that, what became
"San Quentin" was originally a poem by one of the inmates.
I think he played it 3 times in a row, only because the inmates couldn't get enough of it (and who on earth could blame them 😎)
I don't really know that he dit any other song 3 times in a row, live on stage... ...
Anyway, I think it's a amazing song! Both the lyrics, the fine tunes and the way he brings it.
It just cuts like a knive and it sticks 🤘
It also was a privilege to learn this as my very first song on guitar. 🎸
I know on the original release it was played twice. Then when the first reissue came out in the late 90s it was still twice. Then the Legacy Edition came out a few years after that...maybe it has it back-to-back-to-back?
@@Skorpio420 I got no clue 🙈 but I really like this song and heard every version on TH-cam. And I heard 3 different versions for sure
+ if you listen well to everything he says and does on all 3 you'll know...
And also: he says in the most common version "one more time" you don't say that if you play it for the second time... You'd say "again" or something like that.
And there is no complete recording of Johnny Cash at San Quentin. Not One (that I absolutely do know for sure)
Just to be clear the second version is the one that is ""missing"" ... However there is (or was) one versions of it on TH-cam
Happy heavenly birthday to this great man 🖤
Hi fiona
you want pure rage? just listen to cash's venomous attack against the infamous prison. cash's definitive live performance.
All I loved was Hip hop but when I joined the Army, my brothers put me up with the Man in Black. RIP Johnny and RIP to my bros. 12 bravo Combat Engineer
