Story goes that the guys were expecting an opening act and next thing you know Johnny is coming on and they were not prepared.
They ran for their seats and started the recorder missing the introductions and beginning of the first song.
This 1st gen tape was just the Johnny Cash part of the show and is missing the segment with June Carter Cash and John Carter Cash.

There are places where it is windy and this required a multitude of spot repairs to reduce those disturbances.
Handling noises were also removed as this was in a crowd so there were thumps and bumps from just holding the mics.
The loudest applause was reduced and random claps, ticks and clunks were removed.
Nearby whistling, whoo hooing and chatter were also removed or reduced where possible.
A much smoother ride now.

The actor William Hopkins sings with Johnny on "Honky Tonk Man" then Johnny asks him to do his John Kennedy imitation.
Bo recites part of the president's famous speech:
"Ich bin ein Berliner" is a well-known quote from a speech by United States President John F. Kennedy given on June 26, 1963, in West Berlin.
It is widely regarded as the best-known speech of the Cold War and the most famous anti-communist speech.

Many thanks to "Flex" Hamilton for loaning me his tapes to share with everyone.
