This clip is taken from a kinescope I believe and features 'the man not yet in black' singing his classic hit. The final close up is of Luther Perkins. What a guitarist and WHAT a face!

Sep 30, 2008 - i didnt know he was blind either
branmac31 Says:
Sep 30, 2008 - he wasn't
johnnycashjr1 Says:
Oct 2, 2008 - no he never passed out on stage..that was just in the movie to add to the drama effect. He smashed the footlights at the Grand Ole Opry with the Mic stand and the Grand Ole Opry said they coulnt use him anymore. When he was nearing his death his vision became so bad that he was pretty close to blind

Oct 2, 2008 - I wonder what Luther was pissed about?
supersonc82 Says:
Oct 6, 2008 - looks like luther is saying "its shit"
viletantrum Says:
Oct 6, 2008 - I read further down and some of the other guys commented that Johnny missed a verse. I'm embarrased to say it, I missed that and they are correct.That's what luther said. he wasn't pissed, he was surprised. Live T.V. and all...

Oct 10, 2008 - Johnny Cash = One of the best musicians ever, if not the best
leathernguns Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - I love how it's hella awkward when Johnny says "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die". Definitely one of the best lyrics in Rock N' Roll!!!
willashland Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - if not the best? Could you argue why he might be the best musician ever?
leathernguns Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - Hold up a second, I think the guitar player says "I know........Shit" on his solo, kina funny!!!
