Live around the world

"Live Around the World achieves its goal of capturing key moments and transitions in Cash's performing career, at least for the first couple decades of it. Most, but not all, of this music is previously unreleased, and even the reissued songs, like the Osteraker tracks, add to a bigger narrative. The collection probably works best providing that story to someone familiar with Cash. Like most bootleg-style releases, it's not an ideal introduction to the artist. It is, however, a pretty compelling look at him, sometimes as a study, but often simply as a strange sort of concert".

"From folk to country, from past to present, his complex persona exemplifies his rare ability to stand and deliver to every audience, not only in the way they wanted him to but also, perhaps, in the way the needed him to. Bootleg, Vol. 3 showcases what we already know (intellectually, at least) about Cash in a very emotional and visceral way".
