At San Quentin is a recording of a live concert given by
Johnny Cash to the inmates of
San Quentin State Prison. As well as being released on record the concert was filmed by
Granada Television.
On the original
LP release, the song order was changed and several songs were cut, probably for space reasons. Despite the title of the version released on
CD in 2000, the CD does not contain the entire concert uncut, but again with added tracks from that day and in the original order.
