|
This 1969 concert recording fits nicely alongside Johnny Cash's live outings AT FOLSOM PRISON and AT SAN QUENTIN to create a mighty triumvirate. Capturing Cash at the peak of his commercial popularity before a sold-out New York audience, and featuring a full band that includes Carl Perkins, the Statler Brothers, and the Carter Family, AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN stands in sharp contrast to Cash's bare-bones prison concerts. But the proof, as Cash invariably proves, is in the material and performances. |
|
A high-octane "Big River" kicks off the concert, and sets the tone for the 75 minutes of back-to-back classics that follow. "I Still Miss Someone," "The Long Black Veil," and "Folsom Prison Blues" all get impassioned treatments, while Cash varies his repertoire with gospel tunes ("He Turned the Water Into Wine"), protest songs ("Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream"), and songs about civil rights ("The Ballad of Ira Hayes"). As an introduction to his work and an impressive document for long-time fans, this is a top selection in the artist's massive discography. |
