Iconic country singer and songwriter
Johnny Cash was on a career upswing when he played the
Montreaux Jazz Festival in 1994, and this DVD release captures the Man in Black in a casually superb performance. =Johnny Cash: Live at Montreaux 1994 has been transferred to disc in the full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the simple, straightforward visual style of the presentation is well represented on disc. The audio has been mastered in three formats -- PCM Stereo, Dolby Digital Surround 5.1, and DTS Surround -- and the mix is straightforward but lively and crisp. The songs are performed in English, with no multiple language options (though
June Carter Cash courteously greets the Swiss audience in French). No bonus materials have been included, but the strength of
Cash's performance and the solid quality of both sound and image will make this a must for anyone who loved the great man's music. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
