Johnny Cash - 1981-04-19 - Rotterdam, Netherlands (SBD)

He may have been born in Arkansas, but Johnny Cash will always be synonymous with Tennessee. He moved to Memphis at age 22, passed away in Nashville at age 71, and in the 5 decades in between, made music that inspired generations of fans and future artists in every genre from country to rock to gospel to blues. So vast was his influence that the The Man in Black was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Gospel Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame. This soundboard recording captures Cash on April 19, 1981, 33 years ago today, while on tour in Europe. While the 1980s were not a commercially successful time for Cash in terms of record sales, he was still an international star, able to sell out arenas on both sides of the Atlantic. For this show, Cash was joined on stage by Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins. The three of them, along with Elvis Presley had jammed together at Sun Studios in Memphis on December 4, 1956, and tapes of the session were released as an album entitled Million Dollar Quartet. The session also inspired a Broadway play which took the same name. Five years after this show, Cash, Lewis and Perkins would collaborate once again, The three, along with Roy Orbison, recorded the album Class of ’55, a disc commemorating how all 4 came to Sun Studios in 1955 to make music in the new era of Rock and Roll.
