August 21, 1982 · Washington, DC · HBO TV Special
Recording & Broadcast Information
Description
Johnny Cash & Friends (Rodney Crowell, Steve Goodman, John Prine).
Recorded at Kennedy Center, Washington, DC on June 19th and 20th, 1982. This was a benefit concert for the Vince Lombardi Cancer Research Foundation.
Broadcast on August 21st, 1982 as HBO TV Special.
Notes by fredatwork: This is the mono soundtrack of a 1982 TV show, a little on the "bassy" side and certainly not flawless, but a "must have" if only for Steve Goodman's and John Prine's ultimate stereotype country song "You Never Even Call Me By My Name" (and Steve's vocal "steel guitar solo").
Steve also performs his "City Of New Orleans" and John Prine his "Paradise". Rodney Crowell, Johnny's son-in-law at that time (and introduced as such) performs two of his songs.
This came to me as a tape trade in 1982 (before the majority of people had VCRs, hence audio-only), so IF ANYONE HAS THIS ON VHS AND CAN TRANSFER IT, I'd be much obliged!
