Hi KMFrye54, yes I have come across that story several times. I agree, things must have been already unrepairable by that point. In one of the tv documentaries done about Glen, he said that one of the last arguments they had went along the lines of "are you going to release that stupid cowboy song a...

Very cool Randy. Thanks for posting. So now she has performed in Spain as well!

Yes getting closer! My guess is that Glen visited with Michael Parkinson around the time he was touring the UK (April - May 1981). Let's see if we can find a performance from 1980 or very early 1981 with that ending!

Time for a new addition to our youtube channel... From the Goodtime Hour (March 1970) Glen performing a wonderful and moving rendition of Marty Robbins' Lord You Gave Me a Mountain, in support of Marty who was recuperating from a bypass operation at the time.

The videos on youtube have been taking down apparantly. Here you can watch Glen's music video for By the Time I Get to Phoenix in full color.

The concert was recorded April 2, 1977. concert_review_glen_campbell_festival_hall_1977.jpg So Glen started ending Rhinestone Cowboy with "and cowgi...

Interesting to see that Glen's old drummer (George Green) is also playing during that Wrecking Crew tribute!
