Johnny Cash at San Quentin

Don’t like country music but I do have time for Johnny Cash. First time listening to this album, my initial thought when getting this album was why does this need to be on the list along with folksom prison As this album is less famous. But id day more entertaining than the Folksom prison album given the songs are much more upbeat.

Johnny Cash is great, and I like how much this benefits from being a live album, really shows off how charismatic of a performer he was

Tear down the walls!

I prefer this to the Folsom Prison concert, and Johnny is certainly in top form here, but unfortunately I am just not a huge fan of live recordings.

Cash on taitava muusikko mutta jotenkin ärsyttää. Myös todella kiusalliset sensuroinnit spotify-julkaisussa, eli tällä kertaa 2/5.

Perfection, both the songs and the banter between. He is one of the greatest of all time, and this is one of his most famous shows - what's not to love?

I don't like it as much as Folsom Prison, but I think the stage banter might be better. Seems a little more like a raw concert. Still excellent. I listened to the later release of the Full Concert (which still isn't the *full* concert) which has more songs than the original and I think it works better.

Just another lame JC album. 1.5/5

Not as good as Folsom Prison

As far as Cash's albums go, it's not nearly as great for the music, as it is for chaotic fun of the performance itself. The whole show is resplendently defiant and yet Johnny remains endearingly charismatic to everyone involved. What I appreciate very specifically is how Johnny shows deference for the humanity of the inmates, especially in the stage banter between the songs.

I like this one more than Folsom at least. He's dialed down his over the top voice a bit and the instrumentation is a bit more energetic and exciting. Still isn't my thing terribly but I won't complain about it being on.

Surprised to see this album come up, I'd have thought "At Folsom Prison" would have covered the "prison concert" entry for the 1001 list.

As a live album, it's raw, real, and Cash doesn't pull his punches. Like Folsom album, the prison setting gives a new perspective to having a captive audience.

The Legacy Edition is too long for me, the original release would have more impact. Still a good album.

Incredibly entertaining.

Me ha parecido un poco tostón. Tiene un par de sus éxitos "I walk the line" y "Ring of fire" pero el resto aún gustándome la Americana Music me parece un poco pesado. No digo que no merezca su atención y la labor que hizo llevando cierta dignidad a las cárceles pero no es un disco que haga historia por su música.
