The video Johnny Cash Live at the Forum, Inglewood, California, 1986, is like stepping into a time machine to see a legend on stage. It’s a full concert where Johnny Cash, dressed in black and holding his guitar, sings the songs that made him famous. The show lasts for a little more than an hour and was filmed in Inglewood, California, in 1986. Now, thanks to the VHS remaster, people can watch the whole concert on YouTube.
Johnny Cash is joined on stage by his band, The Tennessee Three, and his wife, June Carter Cash. Together, they bring the music to life. Johnny’s deep voice and calm way of singing make you feel like he’s telling you a story, not just singing a song. He plays a mix of his classic hits, songs written by his friends like Kris Kristofferson, and some fun duets with June.

This concert showcases a time when Johnny Cash was still at the pinnacle of his career, even as the music world was undergoing significant changes around him in the 1980s. He never lost his special style or his strong connection to the audience. Watching this video feels like being in the front row of history, seeing a man who loved his craft and never stopped being himself.
The second video features Johnny Cash singing “She Used To Love Me A Lot,” a song released many years after the concert, in 2014. This song was actually recorded in the early 1980s but remained hidden until it was discovered and included in a special album called Out Among the Stars. When you listen to it, you can hear how much feeling Johnny put into every word. The song is about love that is gone, and the sadness of realizing how much it once meant.

Johnny’s version of the song is soft and warm, with gentle guitar playing and a little mandolin. It is not a loud or fancy song; it’s simple but that’s what makes it so powerful. It’s like hearing someone talk about a memory that still makes their heart ache. Other singers, like David Allan Coe, have also recorded this song, but Johnny’s version feels different. It feels honest, like he’s talking directly to you.
Together, these two videos — one from a massive live concert in 1986 and one from a song released years later — demonstrate why so many people love Johnny Cash. He could fill a stadium with his voice, but he could also whisper a song that would stay with you forever.
