Show #19: Man in Black

September 12th, 2005

Today is the second anniversary of the death of The Man in Black, Johnny Cash. I think that, when he died, so did the most recognizable link between the 21st century and the rural folk music of the American South which helped birth rock’n'roll.

It was recorded at the Irving Plaza in New York City on 9 July 1996, just before Cash released Unchained.

Setlist:

Folsom Prison Blues
Get Rhythm When You Get the Blues
Sunday Morning Coming Down
(Ghost) Riders in the Sky
A Cowboy’s Prayer > Oh, Bury Me Not
I Never Picked Cotton
Unchained
Rowboat
Rusty Cage
Southern Accents
Memories Are Made of This
Ring of Fire
Intros > Walk the Line
I’ve Got Jesus in My Soul
Jackson*
* – w/ June Carter
