One of the greatest shows I've seen. I was an 18 year old freshman at UT-Austin. I asked everyone in line if they had an extra ticket and one guy did and he gave it to me for free. You can hear me say "Yeah!" at 4:20 when he starts singing Cohen's "Bird on a Wire." So great to see this video.

Brilliant! Never seen seen Cash play to such a rowdy crowd, loved it

[@dannydobson9045]

Johnny Cash could capture any audience a great entertainer!

[@6thwatergateplumber]

He's so used to playing in the larger venues that this way smaller bar essentially, more intimate, and people much closer, seemed to gently startle him a bit there in the beginning. A treat to see him in this kind of setting.
