June 7, 1969 –
The Johnny Cash Show, a summer replacement for ABC’s Hollywood Palace variety program, debuted on this date, with performances by Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell.<
Dylan, who met Cash at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival, was making his first public performance since the Woody Guthrie benefit in January 1968. He performed I Threw It All Away and Living the Blues. Cash and Dylan also played Girl From the North Country, which they’d recently recorded for Dylan’s country-flavored LP Nashville Skyline. The show also featured Cash singing Folsom Prison Blues, and Dylan’s It Ain’t Me Babe as a duet with wife June Carter Cash. Joni Mitchell sang her hit Both Sides Now.
