Product Description
When looking back on the amazing career of Johnny Cash it is difficult to imagine that at one point his larger-than-life alter ego the "Man In Black" did not exist. The song was written and debuted in 1971 as Cash's response to all of the ills he saw in the world at the time. By that time the Johnny Cash Show - the group that included June Carter Cash The Carter Family Carl Perkins The Tennessee Three and The Statler Brothers were worldwide superstars touring the globe playing sold out shows and making TV appearances in most countries. One such appearance (from Denmark) is captured here and beautifully remastered for the first time on DVD. Featuring Johnny's biggest hits like "I Walk The Line" "Folsom Prison Blues" and "A Boy Named Sue" as well as his then-current songs Man In Black: Johnny Cash Live In Denmark 1971 documents Johnny in his absolute prime.Track Listing:1.

Johnny Cash and a slew of friends and family members take center stage for Live in Denmark 1971, a performance that's part revue, part career overview, and pretty much all good. That the show works so well may surprise some, as the setting is hardly some funky backwoods honky tonk, or even San Quentin; indeed, the Danish TV studio is antiseptic, and the audience, while polite and receptive, is for the most part rather restrained. But Cash is positively ebullient throughout this hour-long appearance, smiling, laughing, even dancing, clearly in peak form as he rolls out the hits, including "A Boy Named Sue," "I Walk the Line," "Folsom Prison Blues," and no less than three Kris Kristofferson songs ("Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down," "Me and Bobby McGee," and "Help Me Make it Through the Night," the latter one of several duets with wife June Carter). He's also happy to share the stage with his cohorts, of whom there are many. Rockabilly pioneer Carl Perkins, then playing guitar along with the Tennessee Three, Cash's usual backup band, ignites the crowd (well, sort of--they aren't exactly moshing in the aisles, but they're definitely into it) with "Blue Suede Shoes" and a thoroughly rockin' "Matchbox," perhaps the highlight of the whole show; the Statler Brothers step forward for "Flowers on the Wall," an obvious but still welcome choice; and even mother-in-law Maybelle Carter, a bona fide country music legend, is on hand, singing with June and sisters Helen and Anita. There are some flaws: "Dear Mama," the sisters' tribute to Mother Maybelle, is as mawkish as country music gets, and that's saying something. But all is forgiven when the entire crew comes onstage for an extended gospel finale, culminating with a rousing "Children, Go Where I Send Thee." All in all, a terrific addition to the legacy of the Man in Black. --Sam Graham

 Cash at his peak November 18, 2007
Michael A. Martin
This is the best of numerous DVD performances by the late Johnny Cash, and it features his wife June Carter Cash, the Carter Family, Carl Perkins, the Statler Brothers, and mother Maybelle Carter. I highly recommend this DVD to anyone interested in traditional country music in general and to one of the kings of country music, Johnny Cash.

This DVD is great in video and audio quality. Johnny is at his best vocally and it's very interesting to see June, Carl Perkins, The Statler Brothers, and the Carter Family at this time in their lives. The concert appears to be more of a TV studio setting, wished it could have been at a regular arena setting. I saw Johnny live in Spokane, Wa. in 1971 and this is the Johnny that I remember, very intertaining.
GREAT DVD! January 28, 2007

Considering this DVD was taped in 1971 in Denmark, I was Taken back by the quality, the Sound is just AWESOME, and none of all that small talk....you know.I like the Carter family specially the instrumental number they do together. Packed with Great Music from beginning to end
Great Sound!
Johnny Cash Live in Denmark DVD January 12, 2007
Zofia Borek (Chicago, IL USA)
Worth every dollar and penny! The best of all concerts recorded of the unforgetable singer Johnny Cash (and I purchased and watched recently many of them). Johnny Cash is at the top of his vocal abilities, relaxed and clearly happy. His attention for his small audience is so moving! Incredible performance, and June Carter is great too! I watch this DVD frequently, especially at the end of a hard day, and it really helps me put my troubles in perspective and relax. I never saw Johnny Cash live in concert. When he was still alive, I was not familiar with his music (I did not grow up in this country), only some tunes and lyrics were familiar, but I did not even know they were his! And then I bought his 16 Greatest Hits CD and this live concert in Denmark DVD and it truly blew off my mind and made my life happier. Thank you Johnny Cash!
