Glen Campbell Forums

I recently replaced my vehicle, so I now had a DAB radio. I was delighted to find 2 country radio stations which I cold not get before. Virtually everyday Glen is played. I even heard Dock of the bay, which I don't think I have heard on the radio since the Seventies. It really takes me back to when ...

Hi Guys, great topic. As has been mentioned, this idea has grown over the years with some good success. There was even a show with modern artists singing with artists who had passed being displayed on a large screen, synced to the song being sung. Of course they took it to the next level by having G...

What a wonderful post jay. I really appreciate it. Great picture as well. This really is history.

Hi MarySue, Cowpoke is correct. The show was never produced as a full show on video. However you can see several clips of the show on the Glen Campbell through the years live DVD https://www.amazon.co.uk/Through-Years-Live-Glen-Campbell/dp/B0063KM824 The link is just to show you which one I am refer...

Thanks for that info Cowpoke. You are a mine of information.

Hi Cowpoke, Yes I would love a book on that aspect of Glen's musical achievements, but this book was never going to be that kind of thing, this was about going behind the scenes of Glen and Kim's personal ups and downs.

Hi Cowpoke, sorry for delay in getting back to you on my thoughts on Kim's book. No doubt,you have read your copy by now, so there won't be any spoilers. Overall, I thought it was a well written book and although I not someone who has faith in God, I could appreciate Kim's strong belief and there is...

Yes, that just seemed like fate playing a hand there. Glen/Jimmy/Ovation a great combination. It's interesting to spot how many artists were using Ovations, especially through the 70s-80s. They must surely have been influenced by Glen's example and also the unique sound they created. I can always he...

Hi Cowpoke, are you saying it wasn't Van Halen playing that riff?, as I read it on the news items and assumed it to be true, although I didn't fact check it. Steve Lukather, is a big Glen fan and I remember watching the youtube video of them talking together. I liked the way he pointed out Glen's ha...

Hi Cowpoke, I am about two thirds through the book and should finish it off by the weekend. I will post my thoughts then and would be glad to discuss your opinions, as well as anyone else who has also read it. Talk soon,
Mike
