I
found part of this clip elsewhere, but missing Cash's extended spoken
introduction. I hate to sound like a college nerd (because I'm not, I
just married one), but the additional context his remarks add make the
song even more impressive to me. This was from the February 17, 1971
episode of his show, by which time the Suits had forced him to start
doing "theme" shows. This is from the best of the bunch, "Johnny Cash On
Campus," which also featured Neil Young and James Taylor. It's super
cool to hear Cash introduce what would go on to become his signature
song to zero crowd applause. It's like hearing a recording of Zepplin
play "Stairway..." to audience indifference before the album was
released. Shiver me timbers!
