Yeah, I like it. It's especially nice to see Glen playing guitar on Wichita Lineman. Definitely hasn't lost his touch.

Anybody know the Franklin player? Somehow he seems to coexist nicely with all those guitars, keys, and - ahem - a b@njo. :lol:

How old is Glen, anyway? He hasn't lost much on the vocals, guitar sounds fine as ever...
That looks like John McFee on guitar and steel.

Yeah, it sorta' looked like John McFee, but I haven't seen his face in a pretty long time, not since Southern Pacific days. Finally got to the steel tunes - very nice.

Glen is a still a great player, but did anyone else notice his hands when he was not playing.
It may be just a musicians tics, but it may also be something else. That would be a shame.

I thought the Franklin sounded...like a Franklin, crisp and clean, but maybe over played a little in the first tune.

I recognize George Doering on mandolin(from SO Cal bluegrass group "The Brombies")

T.J. Kuenster one of the Keyboard players, and Glen's MD for the past 30 some years.

Is that Ken Skaggs on steel? He's been with Glen for over 20 years.

Debby Campbell backup vocals and Glen's daughter.



I just found a Review of his show at the Troubadour last night.

They list the Band: Glen Campbell, TJ Kuenster, Ken Skaggs, Gary Bruzzese, Cal Campbell, Shanon Campbell, George Doering, Roger Manning Jr., Chris Chaney, Todd Youth, Ashley Campbell, Debby Campbell.
