Glen Campbell - In Concert (2002)

legend

I admit I just rented this DVD for the heck of it. Of course I had watched Glen on TV back in the day, and marveled at his stage presence and his great vocals, but especially at his smooth and effortless guitar playing. How can anyone play so well and make it look so easy?

Well, my family laughed at the idea of a GC DVD, until the first song started. Then they were hooked.

I am amazed that Glen can still sing and play as well as he does. It's not easy to look and sound great when you are over 60. He must still work at it really hard, and starting out with a very, very deep well of talent doesn't hurt. He should be an inspiration to us.

Thanks for that great DVD Glen. Yes the orchestra behind him was quite good and very effective.

My personal glimpse of Glen: way back about 1980 I was at a commuter airline gate at Dallas when Glen walked up with Tanya Tucker in tow. He was going to Texarkana to see family. Tanya was a cute little thing but very snitty. She just couldn't be civil or behave, and I could see that her antics irritated Glen. I thought, "well, he won't put up with this very long". I guess he didn't. July 15, 2008

Tremendously entertaining !!

Having been a fan of Glen Campbell's for many years, I naturally bought this DVD. Believe me when I say that I was not disappointed. This show that was originally aired by PBS is outstanding. His renditions of his many hits are right on especially Wichita Lineman, Galveston and Rhinestone Cowboy but I was also impressed by some songs that people may not associate with him. His performance of " The 1812 Overture is unbelievable, especially when he puts the guitar on his head and plays a portion of the song that way. Also, Classical Gas which was written by Mason Williams is done expertly by Glen. And, the show closes with my personal favorite song by Glen, " Try a Little Kindness ", which is done extremely well. The Souix Falls Orchestra playing behind him also adds so much to the experience. I recommend this heartily to all of you who are Campbell fans and to those who are fans of great guitar playing as well. You will not be disappointed !! May 10, 2008

A MUSICAL PRODIGY

Although Glen has lost a bit of his vocal range over the years, he still remains a musical prodigy. All his hits are here on the DVD and, I think, even the South Dakota Symphony was impressed by his guitar playing. If I had one day left on earth to live, my last wish would be to have Glen Campbell play me a tune on his guitar.

A Perfect DVD for all Glen Campbell Fans

Since purchasing this DVD I am reliving all my favorits songs by Glen Campbell. It is a must for all die hard Glen Campbell fans. I also bought the CD from this concert so I can listen to it in my car. Glen still looks great considering all the hardships he has gone through. I have found that I like his new renditions of some of his classics better than the original record. My favorite is "Wichita Lineman". He does an outstanding job on "MaCarthur Park" and I have fallen in love with the song "Still Within The Sound of my Voice". I have played this DVD over and over again and will continue to do so until I wear it out!!! I hope to see Glen perform live for the first time this coming Sept. in Bowling Green, Kentucky and listen to him sing all his great hits. April 22, 2008

Amazing!

I've been fortunate to have seen Glenn Campbell in person several times ~ and ~ I'll go back every chance I get.

This DVD really captures Mr. Campbell at his best. Not only is his voice as good, or better, than ever, but he is one of the finest guitar players around. You will witness this on this DVD.

I loved it so much, that I purchased the CD and play it all the time.

His delightful daughter, Debbie, sings with her Dad in this show and adds her own talent and sparkle.

I agree with a previous reviewer that it would have been nice if Mr. C had included some of his wonderful stories. He tell some very funny ones about Roger Miller.

If you are a Glenn Campbell fan or not, I think you'll enjoy this DVD. It is definitely worth having. March 9, 2008
