Listening to the album, Cash seems to empathize with the plight of the prisoners and the inmates for their part seem to have a great deal of respect for Cash and his works.

On the original LP release, the song order was changed and several songs were cut, probably for space reasons. The version released on CD in 2000 contains the entire concert uncut and in the original order.
