Johnny Cash & Waylon Jennings perform "Folsom Prison Blues" at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985.
A performance from the first Farm Aid benefit concert. Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp founded Farm Aid and serve on the board of directors. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $9 million for America's family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.
Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid's mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

Listen to that ovation from the crowd. I just got goosebumps when that classic guitar line kicked off and he started singing here. I wore out my father's "Live at San Quentin" album when I was a kid, and I was more of a rock fan than a country music fan. I clearly remember a convict on that album yelling out "Where's Luther Johnny?" Johnny explained that Luther Perkins had just passed away recently. I did not know who Luther was then, but boy I do now! Johnny Cash has always been cool -which is why he was able to get so many great rock stars to guest on his TV show in the late 1960's. They knew he was the "real deal."

Johnny Cash was a living god, right up to the day he died. The greatest names in Blues, Rock, and Country worshipped him. To me, the most remarkable thing is, despite his status, he didn't go the full Elvis, perhaps because he started as a gospel singer. I'm not a Christian, but Johnny Cash was holy.

As I always say,"Two of the John Wayne's of country music right there". It was cool to see them both doing Folsom together. Cash had that big voice and Waylon added his signature picking to the song.

@tommypetersen2540 9 жыл бұрын

Exactly! I love George Jones, Merle is great, but these two literally changed everything. John helped bridge the gap between young and old and cross pollinated genres. His TV show celebrated MUSIC not country, jazz, Rock, etc. it was about good music period. Waylon fought for artists to have creative freedom and he made country music funky and loose. He let mikes bleed into one another creating an organic sound that was lost in Nashville. (too slick and polished) As soon as John and Waylon's sales dipped ( for them) Nashville cut them loose. But guess what? We're still playing their music and Nashville wishes they had artists like them. How's that for hyperbole? (All true though)
