Do you know a source for obtaining a video or CD of the musicians who
appeared to honor Johnny Cash?  I especially loved the rendition of
"Delia" by John Wyclef.

The show that featured Wyclef Jean performing "Delia's Gone" is
entitled "An All Star Tribute to Johnny Cash."

"The artists gathered at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom for Turner
Network Television's An All-Star Tribute to Johnny Cash were in peak
form... Although it leaned heavily toward country (fellow Highwaymen
Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett,
Brooks & Dunn, Trisha Yearwood, Marty Stuart, Mary Chapin Carpenter,
June Carter Cash and the evening's house band, the Mavericks), the
roster also encompassed rock (Isaak, Sheryl Crow, Dave Matthews, and
satellite performances from U2, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan),
gospel (the Fairfield Four) and even rap (Wyclef Jean)...
Appropriately enough, Jean's selection for the evening was 'Delia's
Gone,' a grim murder ballad that Cash last recorded on his 1994
Rubin-produced album, American Recordings."

Apparently no commercial video of this program has yet been released.
However, I did find a current eBay auction of a VHS copy of the
program that was given to Emmy voters:

If this meets your needs, I'll be glad to post this information as the
answer to your question.

Thank you!!! Please post the information.  I will attempt to purchase
the VHS.  Does this mean the VHS might not be in excellent condition? 
I am not am EBay shopper.  I like new things packaged up.  I am eager
to hear the music from this presentation again, however.

Again, thank you!!!

Regarding your concerns about the condition of the videotape, I
wouldn't be too concerned about this, since the seller describes it as
being in "very good condition," and the seller has an excellent eBay
history: 99.7% of this seller's previous customers have left a
positive rating (I do believe that's a higher percentage of satisfied
customers than I have here on Google Answers!)

Given the ongoing interest in Johnny Cash, it seems likely that this
program might be released commercially in the future, but at this time
an industry demo tape like this one is probably your only source for
the program.

I hope this helps!  

Best wishes,
