I first saw Glen, in 1964, when I lived in Southern Calif. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He looked just like my oldest brother, and me..In 1975 I found out, that we were indeed, related. I sound like him, when I talk and sing, and now, I look like him, more and more. It has been a thrill, to be related to such a sweet person, as Glen. His talents are supberb, and his kindness is unsurpassed..My heart breaks for him, and his caring family. I know his loving spirit, and that he has a home in heaven..God bless him and those of us, who love him. There will never be another Glen Campbell, but, he has sweet children, who will carry on, in his foot steps, “and I am glad, for that”.. Kim, we are keeping you in our prayers, as you carry on, at making the best, of a tough situation..our love to you all!..Fran Whewell

I’m so sorry it was not the accordian, it was the lonesome bagpipe, how beautiful.

I would like to say Thank You Glen. I was 6 when Santa brought me my first guitar. My hero’s were yourself, John Denver, Patsy Cline, Loretta, and Willie, Waylon, and Kris. We met at the Nugget in Sparks, Nv., before your concert. My family and I were having dinner in the Steakhouse as you were with your family. You had Hawaiian shorts on and ready to go!! Just know that I picked strawberries for 2 years to buy my 12 string. My oldest son is an accomplished pianist and guitarist. My Matthew who will soon turn six, plays the piano and wants to be a drummer. My Andrew will be 22, and Matthew, 6, they both know all the words and music to your songs. I have to say when you played the accordian to Danny Boy that was heart wrenching. You have given so much to all of us. My Andrew and I last saw you at the Silver Legacy 2 years ago. Thank you for sharing your gift, it has not only helped me in my life but also my sons. The gift of music is a gift from God!! Thank you from the bottom and top of my heart, Shari

Glen Campbell’s “That Christmas Feeling” Album from the mid 60′s is the best Christmas Album I’ve ever owned or heard. My parents owned this album and I have listened to it every Christmas since I was about 10 years old. I have many Christmas CD’s and I would love to have this album in CD form. I copied my album onto a cassette 30 years ago and put my album away for safe keeping, but I have since worn out my cassettte. My daughter tried to find it in a CD for a present for me, but it still has not been released in CD format. . My album is too worn for me to burn it to a CD. ” Little Alter Boy” is so beautiful, it touches me and brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. This past Christmas was the first time I was not able to listen to it.
I hope Mr. Campbell and his record label read this post and PLEASE release this in a CD. I’d love to be able to listen to it form many more years.
Dear Glen Campbell, Just thinking of you and wanting to let you know my favorite Gospel recordings that you’ve made: Jesus and Me, No More Nights, and This Savior I Sing of Today. My prayer is that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be with you and your family, uphold and comfort you, and grant you His peace. Blessed Easter. He is Risen!

Absolutely Brilliant! “There’s No Me Without You”
A standout from the first note you played…love your voice! Just love your musical effort….quite a life!

Glen Campbell has left a lasting memory for me. I say him before his Goodtime hour. How he sang and played guitar and banjo on Y’all Come. With some of the finest musicians. Glen was a great seasion guitar player as early as 1960. Making over 100k! A humble man who knew his instrument but it “served” his music. He wasn’t just one if those technical players with no feel. I’d watch Glen on his Goodtime Hour sing and watch and follow Stevie Wonder on one of the finest versions of “Blowing In the Wind.” He sang with Cher, Johnny Cash, Roger Miller, Linda Ronstandt, oh and so, so many more. He couldn’t help move his body to the music. Glen would just naturally do marvelous fill-ins on his guitar when he beautifly sang those great Jimmy Webb songs. It was intinctive. Who noticed? It when he sang Jesus and Me in the Chuch – “I have song for kings and queens all around the world…now I’m singing a new song, making music to Jesus my King, He is my hero…there’s no other song, no higher melody…”
Even today, when he struggles to remember some words to a song, his guitar playing is impeccable! When he does “Dueling Banjos” with his lovely daughter Ashley, he “toys” with her with his guitar. She’s great though! So protective if her father whom she clearly dearly loves.
Lets remember Glen in our prayers. He is by far one of the greatest entertainers around and one the best living guitar players in the world.

Glen, since I was a lad in the 70′s listening to 20 Golden Greats in my dad’s car on his 8-track I’ve been a fan. Even through my “punk” days you still remained a mainstay in my record collection. I finally got to see you live in Belfast in 2008 with my wife, who had also become a fan through my love of your music. Its so sad I’ll never experience that again. God bless you and your family and thank you for the wonderful musical legacy you leave behind.
I think you’re an historic icon of country music and I would like to hear you play live. Please tell me if you have any live performances scheduled for 2013 or 2014. Thank you.

Glen. Thank you for your wonderful contribution to music. I am 47 years old and a guitarist playing in a covers band, and some of your greatest songs have inspired me eversince I first heard you in the mid 1970s. Enjoy your retirement and the love of those around you.
Thank you once again.
rita wilson
Mr Campbell, I could never thank you for all the memories your music makes me remember, when I was young. I lost a sister and your music makes me remember the fun and the fights lol. My favorite is wichita lineman, you sang that in concert so pretty, never forget that. Thank you for everything, thank god you went into music, think of all the music we would have missed, blessings to you and family sir, for sharing you with us.
Jennifer Ayers Perez
Glen just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your music today. I would set with my parents andatch you and Jerry Reed sing your show. My dad is from Bowling Green, Ky and he would love to hear you sing. You brought such joy to our family.
Jenny Wright
I read many of these comments yesterday and had feelings of joy and sadness. Many of you love Glen and his music as much as i do – which gave me joy. My sadness came when Glen’s illness was discussed. I don’t want to think about this and prefer to stay happy with my own special memories.
Glen saved my life in 1980 when I had reached rock bottom. I sat listening to his music and believed he was singing just to me and supporting me with words of encouragement. However strange others might view this comment, Glen himself is aware of this and he is full of understanding and has always supported me.
I love Glen for many reasons, not only for his superb voice and guitar skills, but as a friend who has written to me, greeted me so many times at his concerts and who has dedicated his songs to me. One song in particular was ‘I Love How You Love Me’, Glen understands why he is so special to me and why I will always need him in my life. I have always shown him great respect and I know he appreciates this.
I remember all the band members from past to present, who made me so welcome on every occasion. I will forever be indebted to Bill McClay for his kindness in allowing my meetings with Glen to happen. I count everyone as a friend and the memories I have will remain with me for ever.
Glen knows that I was diagnosed with breast cancer 5 years ago. He told me at the time that he would pray for me and that we would meet again in heaven. (Glen is not aware that I was given the all-clear last week.) Thank you Glen for your prayers. We’ll meet again in heaven just as you said.
God bless you and keep you safe.
‘Love Always’

My girlfriend and I saw Glen at the old Charlotte Coliseum on Sunday, June 15, 1969. I had bought the best seats available at the time, only six rows from the stage. I will never forget the bright yellow dress she wore that night, and how pretty she looked, nor will I ever forget hearing Glen sing his most popular songs of that time. Thanks Glen, for your music, and for all of the memories, and may God bless you!
Kathryn Hooper
Dear Glen and family, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You–I saw “The Farewell Tour” show at Shippensburg University the end of Oct for my birthday (well, yes I was 72). It was AWESOME!!! I have been a fan since the late 60′s, raised my one son and youngest dtr to all the Glen Campbell music I could get my hands on; and enjoyed The Goodtime Hour immensely! (Any reruns around?) This was the only concert I had gotten to see and I was thrilled. Glen you are truly amazing in voice and instrumentals. We all are BLESSED to have had the opportunity to hear and know of all your remarkable talents. Thank You all again for a great show (I enjoyed talking to Ashley and Cal a little after the show; great kids. I look forward to hearing more from them (and Shannon); seems like that talent goes far and wide in the Campbell family. May God’s Blessings be on you all for sharing Glen with all of us over these many years, but, most especially at this time. You will all remain in our prayers. With Love , Kathryn
Debbie
Thank you Glen for making my heart sing for over 40 years. You made my dreams come true when you told me to sit on your knee as I knelt down to have a picture with you. I only dreamt how fantastic it would be if I ever got to meet you and it was incredible. You were blessed with an amazing voice and such talented guitar and banjo skills; much to the envy of so many. I wish you joy this holiday season and and a Christmas miracle to you and your lovely family.
Tom Kemp
Went to your concert in Portland last night. Thank you for spending some time with us. The world is a better place because of you. Happy holidays to you and your family.

As Glen Campbell’s career comes to a tearful end Let us all remember him the way he was way back when & all of his beautiful music both singing & playing whatever instrument he could get his hands on, “He could do it all” & there will never ever be anyone like him again. Seeing him perform over & over again year after year he always puts out 100% or more when he performs in Concert. I have had the opportunity to meet him in person on several occasions the last time Andy Williams Moon River Theater in Branson MO 2002. As we bid him farewell as he rides off into the sunset May we salute him as the “Greatest of all time”.
Thank you Glen for all the memories you & I have shared on a personal level and on behalf of all your fans around the world Thank you for the Memories and May God Bless you & your family always.
Phillip & Konie Minga
Glen,
My wife and I went to show in Little Rock, Arkansas. We were truly blessed to have seen you perform and will cherish the memory for a lifetime. We absolutely loved your performance with your children on stage. They are so musically talented and have promising careers in the future. God truly blessed you with many talents to share with the world and a life richly blessed with a loving family. Your testimony is inspiration to many that suffer with alzheimer’s for hope in the future. You have left your mark in this world and it is a better place because of you. You are loved and will never be forgotten.
Phil Warren
met you while playing on stage Buffalo,NY(1963) about the time you were a “studio player” before Wichita Lineman..We played with Fats Domino that night…You are a great guitarist and singer Glen.You are an icon!!
Dear Glen, You are forever in my heart and prayers. I treasure getting to see you and your children in concert while in Galveston, Tx. It was such a dream come true. You are simply a beloved family member. I treasure my visits with you! Many are cheering you on!
With my love and continual prayers for you and your family!
Love, Janet Montana

I forgot to mention that you being there made loosing my dad so much easier, I was flying home from his memorial service and I know you were put there for a reason.
Tina Lieberg
Glen, I will always remember sitting on the floor with you in Orlando at the airport. It was just magical. Your daughter Debbie brought you something to eat and I just couldn’t believe my good luck to be sitting there with you. No one else saw you except my husband who I called over. I remember sitting there and you had a baseball cap on and you sort of looked up and smirked at me. I said you looked very familiar and you said who do you think I am. I knew right away who you were. You were just so funny and gracious and started singing little snip it’s of your songs. Debbie came over and we all talked. You invited us to your Christmas show and then back stage. It was just wonderful to meet you both. We sat near you on the plane and just enjoyed your company. Debbie said you were there playing golf. We will never forget you, you’ll be forever on my mind. God bless you and all of your family.
Tina and Jerry. Debbie are you still flying, our corporate department is looking for a good flight attendant for another very high profile person. I wish you had gotten back to me but I understand. You have definitely gotten your dads voice so please keep singing.
Sandra Lee
My mom always had your eight-tracks on while we were doing our weekend household chores and your voice will forever be engrained in my mind, gently. I was lucky enough to see you a year ago in Boston and you were wonderful! My life was made so much richer for that experience. If you’re up for traveling, please come back to Boston. I love you! Sandra Lee

I doubt Glen realizes how many lives he has touched with his music. Iam 57 now and discovered Glen when I was 8. I will never forget my first Glen Campbell concert. In the ups and downs of life I have always turned to music and Glen always had a song for me. Thanks Glen and may God bless you and yours as much as your music as blessed me.
Glen Campbell Missouri Fan
I am alittle concerned. Being a healthcare worker I am around Alzheimers patients quite a bit. The LAST THING these people need is a grueling, heavy duty touring/concert schedule in different cities/time zones etc. I LOVE Glen Campbell, and we have seen him twice in the last 5 yrs but I dont understand why the family is doing this to him. He needs to be slowing down and taking care of his health to slow the process down. GLEN WE LOVE YOU BUT YOU NEED TO BE TAKING MORE TIME OFF ENJOYING YOUR HOME AND YOUR FAMILY!
Kevin
One more Ryman show!!! PlEasE???
BillRauhuff
I saw Glen in Bethlehem PA on 10/26/2012 and was concerned because it had been 13 months since I last saw him in Philadelphia and I needed not be as he was as good or better than the last time. I have seen him in concert around seven times since 1970. I am sure this is the very end of this chapter of his life but he is going out on top with a great tour and great last album. If the album Ghosts on the Canvas has not been certified Gold or Platinum yet I urge all the fans to buy it. It is his best album since the 70s. I wish him and his family all of my best and pray he has a lot more great days ahead as he deserves them.
clare
Your music is so unique, beautiful, inspiritual and refreshing!
To Glen and family, I watched you perform last night in Ithaca, NY. It was truly a dream come true as I was there with family. We watched your life unfold in the sixties with TV and record albums. We watched our mom as she danced around the house to your classic “Every day housewife”. We fondly recall my dad, who just passed in June 2012, taking us to the first night of “True Grit” in our hometown of Binghamton, NY. Oh, Glen, thank you for sharing your life with us up close and personal. You are truly an amazing performer and most unforgettable. My favorite line that you stated last night on several occasions throughout your performance-”I’m just so glad to be here. Where am I?”. I wanted to shout out to you-”Glen, you’re with family”.

On October 19, 2012 my brother e mailed me at work to tell me he and his wife were planning to see Glen Campbell in Morristown, New Jersey that night. He then said he had an extra ticket and asked me if I wanted to join him. I immediately said yes. I am so glad I did. The concert was excellent. What’s even better is my brother had a second extra ticket which allowed my girlfriend to join us! One of the greatest concerts I have ever seen. Several times during the concert Mr. Campbell said “I am happy to be here.” I was even more happy to attend such a terrific concert.
When my brother told me the reason why this current tour will be Mr. Campbell’s last, I felt so sorry for him and for his family. I wish them all of the best. Thank you Mr. Campbell for such wonderful songs, an excellent concert and for being such a good man.
RuthM
I’m very happy to see Glen Campbell is still touring! I hope this is his personal wishes and that he’s not being pushed to do more than he wants. However, why still no Colorado?! I see several places where he is returning for a second concert. Why not give all his fans, in all locations, a chance to see him one last time?

Just saw Glen and family New Brunswick. He is amazing, and having so much fun. He gave 100% and the show was wonderfull. Its my 2nd time this year, to see him. He had the crowd laughing and singing, and when he hit on some of his Ghosts on the canvas songs, they were sad. It was a great show. He said he hopes to come back to NJ and I hope he does.. Bravo Glen and Victoria Ghost!!!!
Al Mevorah
Was at Carnegie Hall ..Truly a wonderful concert…Saw all his classics and the audience gave him so many standing ovations ….It was great to see him with his daughter and the dueling banjos…He is still awesome with that guitar….
John B
My wife surprised me with tickest fo my birthday. Went to last night’s show in Sewell,NJ. Glen put on a wonderful performance and the audience showed their appreciation with numerous standing ovations.
My favorite is “Wichita Lineman”, it brought a tear to my eye, it is beautiful.
I can see his kids in herited his musical genes. They are very talented, especially Ashley who not only plays several instruments but has a great voice.
Although it is sad he has a debilitating disease, I give him credit for wanting to tour at a grueling pace. Music has been his life and he is a legend. He sang a couple of Jimmy Webb songs that were beautiful.
Denny Wroblewski
Glen, you are a true icon…Listening to your latest album…Love every song on it..I have to thank you for all the music you sang…from the heart..A GREAT BIG THANK YOU !!!!

I’m going to see Glen in NewBrunswick, in Oct. I saw him in Red Bank in march. It was quite an evening, and surprise, to actually meet him. I have pictures with him and Kim. What a great show, and exciting evening.

us too, sawc the red bank show, going again to new brunswick
I had the good fortune to see Glen perform over 30 years ago in Las Vegas. He was a much better musician than his tunes on the radio ever let on. It was an incredible performance! I wish I could see him on his farewell tour – from the videoclips that I’ve seen, he looks and sounds as good as ever. For all of you who have had the opportunity to see him and his excellent family on his farewell tour, count yourselves lucky. There is only one Glen Campbell!

My Dad is in the end stages of Alzheimer’s. He loved Glen Campbell. I would love to attend a farewell concert. To Glen: I wish you the best. Thanks for your beautiful music, beautiful smile and beautiful personality. To Glen’s family: Cherish EVERY moment. Laugh EVERY day, Love him through EVERY stage! Xoxoxo

I worked at Glen’s Branson Teatre and the last time I saw him was in Pala, Ca. Sure missed my friend Debbie and Sandy and Barbara. They’re good people.

My wife and I saw Glen last night in Jonesboro Arkansas and truly felt we were blessed to see one of the greatest entertainers in the music world. Ausome job Glen.

Just saw Glen Campbell in Jonesboro, Ar. No lasers, explosions or fire, just terrific music by one of the most talented guys in the business and his family. 40+ years of hits and memories. Enjoyed every minute.

Awesome concert in Honolulu 9/2/12. He is still a master guitarist. Stumbled on the words for a number of songs but the fans didn’t mind. 6 standing ovations! Glen’s kids are also very talented. Love his new song “A Better Place”.
http://www.facebook.com/people/Paul-Hogue/1045504609 Paul Hogue
I just wanted to say how proud I am of him as a son of Arkansas. The first movie I ever saw was “True Grit,” which my parents took me to see on my fourth birthday in Little Rock (at the old Heights Theater, I think). They took me because I was a BIG fan of Glen even then. I never missed him on TV, and loved the specials he made over the years. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned he’s one of the best session guitarists that ever lived. His choice of songs is amazing, and we owe him so much for recording songwriters like Jimmy Webb and Allen Toussaint. How could anyone listen to him sing “I am so afraid of dying” in “Galveston” and not imagine the kid in the song sitting in the jungle a world away? Anyway, I really would love to have been at the show tonight in Little Rock, but I’m in Kentucky now and couldn’t get away. Robinson was where my mother took me for my first concert, Mason Williams, who was a writer and composer for the Smothers Brothers show, which helped bring Glen so much recognition. Glen, you’re truly one of my heroes, and I wish you the best tonight and every night.
BrindleNWhite
I thoroughly enjoyed Glen Campbell’s Honolulu concert on 9/2! He sang
and played some of his greatest hits, popular tunes, and current ones.
He is such a gifted entertainer..Fantastic! I also enjoyed his
children
as the opening act. So good as singers, musicians, and performers.
Special thank you
to Ashley Campbell for kindly and generously providing her autograph to
me and others after the performance.
Glen Campbell and your family, come visit Hawaii more often, especially
the
neighbor islands. It can be very relaxing and comforting. I’m also a
caregiver, along with my sister, for my mom. Aloha from Hawaii, Stephen
James Hsu
Well, his voice is still in its top shape. But I guess his disease only allows him to play for an hour here in Honolulu. His kids’ group opens the show for him, and he seems to be very happy to be able to play with them. the energy is there. A great show.
kevin farrell
come on back to The Ryman! close it out here with ALL your friends! sing with Jimmy Webb, Michael Smotherman, Kieth Urban, Steve Wariner, Vince, Merle, and Bryan White! Anyone else you can get here! Heck, make it for TV would be a perfect beginning to your next phase!
http://twitter.com/mac_junkie1 Mike.
again, more new tour dates…. that’s awesome, but please consider doing a few in Canada. Its so close and we’d love a closer chance to see Glen one last time. If the UK can get a full tour, so should we.
MJ
Was so fortunate to see Glen perform twice in a six month time frame. Watched him perform last January at the Rialto Theater in Joliet IL and again at Ravinia in June. Glen was FANTASTIC at both concerts. It brought tears to my eyes to listen to this legacy perform. Such a talented man. His voice is still as good as ever…and his guitar talent is unbelievable! Brought back many good memories listening to Glen on road trips with my Parents back in the 60′s. It was great to see his children perform with him. Very talented as well! So sweet to watch Ashley look out for her dad. Glen you are truly a legend…God Bless you and your family.
Theresa
This message is for Kim
Campbell. I introduced myself to you
both while standing in the security check line at the Dulles Airport in
May. I’ve never in my life invaded a
celebrity’s privacy before, but felt compelled to meet you both because of a
special I had recently seen on TV. Kim,
I want you to know that as amazing as it was to meet Glen, I was especially
impressed by your gentle strength and courage.
I can’t imagine the challenges you face as the wife of a celebrity, but
adding to that the randomness of Alzheimer’s, I know has got to be extremely
hard on you. It was hard to see Glen’s
confusion when it came time to move through security screening. But I was so impressed by your ability to
take complete charge, with grace, and gentle efficiency. You obviously eased his confusion, giving him
the comfort, direction and focus he needed to move through a process that
stresses out most people who aren’t dealing with a debilitating illness. Your actions, while natural, and obviously
based on the love and respect you have your husband, are an example that others
who are also facing this terrible disease can look up to. I appreciate the opportunity to meet you both,
and I especially appreciate the example you are setting for others who are
going through similar experiences. God
bless you both, and I truly wish the best for you Kim.
Fred
The Campbell family undoubtedly loves him very, very much to help him with the tour. My mother also had the disease. I think it’s great to let the curtain down slowly. I encourage the tour to continue as long as he can function. The fans will love him no matter what.
Colleen
Is Glen coming to Washington dc or Baltimore md?
http://www.facebook.com/franbeachb Fran Bartlett
We loved Glen, my band was selected by uncle Bob in the 60′s as a youth band to open for Glen at the hitching post in Albuerque … That gave us great inspiration as young musicians … Remember us Frankie B and the boys, somewhat a steal from the Sandia Mountain Boys … You go Glen
Linda
Great story on CBS Sunday morning. I hope to be able to see him one more time. I think it is wonderful of his family to let him have his last moments doing what he loves!!!!! It has to be hard on his family. I do not believe they are in it for the money. Music soothes the soul.
Rick
Nice story on CBS Sunday morning, wish I could see him one more time. He is doing what he loves to do, and his family is by his side supporting him.
Fred
totally enjoyed Chicago’s Ravinia performance…..I’ve been waiting all my life to see him….having lost my mom exactly two years earlier to alzheimers it was the most beautiful touching and at times funny concert I have seen…his guitar skills were still spot on and his voice rang true….read the the Chicago Tribune Reviews and you will see we definitely saw something special..with a different twist that most don’t see as a new normal that is only learned form experience the sweet side of dementia!!! Its not always that sweet…way to Go Glen and Family…I think about it almost daily what a joy it was for me and my wife….tears falling uncontrollably during Wichita Lineman….the perfect day for ME! Glen
thought “Its HOT out here!!!” Way to sweet!!!

There have been studies talking about the positive impact and the staying power of music. I want to believe, based on those studies, that Mr. Campbell will benefit from the music and the heartfelt, admiring good-byes.
Alzheimer’s is in my genes
Little Me – as someone with a long family history of Alzheimer’s, I ‘d like to respond to your accusation of his family mistreating Mr. Campbell. As long as he can continue to remember most of the words to his songs. . . I’d say let him continue doing what he loves. Alzheimer’s patient’s don’t usually allow anyone to ‘force them’ to do anything. If they don’t want to do something, they don’t. No matter how much you might try to get them to, and even if it’s in ‘their best’ interest.
I see this tour as one last chance for his fans to love show him publicly that they remember him, even as his memory is fading. I’m sure it warms his heart in these last days of his ability to remember who he is, and what he did.
Scott Kramer
To make a brief comment about the previous post… I was back stage with Glen in both Las Vegas and Phoenix recently and I asked him personally if he was enjoying this final tour and he said yes, very much. I don’t want anyone to believe Glen is frail or weak by any means. He’s in good spirits and he’s also 75 years old. I think he and his beautiful wife Kim and family are looking to wind down and it appears that is just the case this year. You have to remember Glen is a “performer” and he LOVES what he does on stage and in the studio. I just wanted to clear up any possible leaks that are untrue. Scott Kramer – Phoenix, AZ
Chip Carlin
I saw him in July at the Birchmere in Alexandria VA…..the whole show was a
” lifetime memory “…….His three kid’s and their band Victoria Ghost opened the show up
I think Glen loves performing….his family’s support onstage was so tender and loving…..He was just ” amazing “…they as a family and the longtime band members were ” just amazing “…….I came close to tears several times…..there will never be another Glen Campbell…….the romantic nuance and ” story of every day real America ” in his
songs are Glen’s alone…..his special gift.
Glensghost
Dont matter anyhow it just was reported he died tonight R.I.P
http://twitter.com/mac_junkie1 Mike.
wtf….. gotta love spammers
Carrieann1
And just where did you get this breaking news story from ??
Yeah, right – just like Necropedia.com posted it in JULY that Glen died on AUGUST 12, 2012 …
You lose! Go troll someplace else!
http://twitter.com/mac_junkie1 Mike.
yea, I saw that posted somewhere else that he “died” in July. A simple google search does show a Glen Campbell dying, but it wasn’t THIS ONE!!! TROLLZ Some people are stupid. I’ve let Ashley know on her FaceBook page that this is going on….
Stannyyjoe
One word. ”IDIOT”
Sjakkg
I think Glen loves to perform and that is what keeps him going!
I think Glen Campbell has no say over where he goes or what he does. Look at the interviews on u-tube that he’s done in the past year. He looks to his wife to tell him where he’s going on tour. He is led on stage, is often confused during shows and at times, can’t find his way off stage. Why not let the world remember the dynamic, handsome and sexy performer he was instead of this tour that documents his deteriorating condition for all to observe. Isn’t his family satisfied with the millions he has (50 million is remported). What is it going to take to stop this family from forcing him to continue this intensive good bye tour? I’ve seen photos of him in a wheel chair at the airports holding a cane, looking very exhausted. It’s time to let Glen Campbell have some relaxation and peace.
http://twitter.com/mac_junkie1 Mike.
where are you seeing that?? i haven’t seen anything like that. it would make sense though…. a few weeks ago he fell somewhere and injured his left knee. if you watch youtube videos glen and tj explain what happened and what it was. he pulled a ligament or something. can’t remember the show though but it was a about a month or two ago.
Littleme
Mike, Check out on internet “Glen Campbell arrives for flight at LAX” and you will see a 8 photos of him in a wheel chair with a cane from July 2012. He looks exhausted and confused.

June would make sense. Its not a legit wheelchair, Just an airport one and the cane is probably because of his knee injury he had sustained. I wouldn’t want to walk on a bum knee. As for exhausted, yes, I can imagine its exhausting for someone his age to tour or ride an airplane. That’s why his Australia tour was cancelled. At 76, I would not want to venture on a plane for 15 hours straight. He’s had some time off, but not enough. His tour is almost done ( ) and then he’ll have his time to rest. He’s got the next month off now then 3 days and then more time off before the last dates. God bless him for still being out there. He’s had a fantastic career.

I hadn’t heard about his knee injury….t.hanks for letting me know that’s why he was in the airport chair and glad he has a month to rest up. He is by far my very favorite singer…..love, love, love him. I attended 4 concerts, met him once and he held my hand. Yes, God bless him. There is no one like him.

Littleme, I cant find your story anywhere. ?????

Perhaps, even though hard, it is for the best. It seems to me that this is what keeps him going.

Time is running out for Mr. Campbell. Very soon he will no longer be able to do his life’s work / passion. I imagine there is a struggle from his family in letting him do what he loves as long as he can vs. sitting him in a nursing home where I would imagine his disease would accelerate. He loves performing. Let him perform as long as he can and have however many days he has left spent doing what he loves.
MissiMkr
My mom has Alzheimer’s, the one thing they hold onto is the past. I think that what he is doing is great! Music was the one constant in his life for so many years, I’m sure that he is loving every minute of the time he spends on stage. His daughter is on stage with him also. Alzheimer’s patients can suffer from severe Depression, and doing these concerts is probably keeping him happy. I wish he was coming to somewhere near me, I would LOVE to go see him, even if he repeated the same song over and over! He’s such an icon for country and even all music. And yes I’m sure its exhausting for him—who wouldn’t be at his age? Would you rather that they lock him in a house and let him just shut down, because that’s what happens to 80% of Alzheimer’s patients. I’m right now fighting with my mother, and father (who does what he can) about her just laying around and not fighting the disease, or at least getting out and trying to do things. They get scared outside of what they know, and music and performing is what he knows, and has known for many years!

I am so thrilled Glen is adding more concerts! Its a great idea for him and his fans!!!! I saw him in Red Bank, NJ. and going to see him again, in New Brunswick, NJ! AWESOME!
RuthM
Yes, it’s great that Glen is still feeling like he can continue to tour! I would like to question, however, why he has visited some states 2 & 3 times, and others (like Colorado) not even once!?? My husband & I flew to Tucson, Arizona in Feb. to see him. But not all fans are that fortunate to be able to travel to see a show. I think all his fans should have at least one chance, as long as he is still perfjorming. How about hitting the states that have been missed, instead of returning where he’s already played?
Musicboy1960
Sorry to shock you but it’s not necessarily Glen feeling like he can continue to tour, his wife and management keep booking shows as long as he is physically able. Not that he’s getting enough rest between shows as that seems highly unlikely. BUT the tour continues….

Oh my gosh…impressive…your right Joe…definately a “class act” !

We sat in the 4th row for the Albuquerque show. I feel blessed to have been able to see and hear this musical legend. After the show we waited by the front of the stage as people who had backstage passes were escorted back for a “meet-and’greet” with Glen. As the last few people were invited back, someone from Glen’s entourage told me and my wife we could come back too. Glen autographed the album I brought and his wife actually took a picture of all three of us for me with my camera. What a class act, Glen, his family and the whole crew. Thanks to all of you!
RuthM
You were so very fortunate! In Tucson in Feb., the theater kicked everyone out immediately following the show. We barely had time to use the restroom before leaving the building!
Joe D
Sorry to hear about the rudeness in Tucson…they seemed to be more tolerant at the 66 Casino in ABQ, although the security detail that they had directly in front of the stage before and during the show looked pretty menacing!
Tony Lordi KCMO
You got lucky because we were not allowed to take any pictures or even bring a camera into the Uptown Theater when Glen performed for the last time in Kansas City Missouri April 26th 2012. What a disappointment.
Joe D
That’s a real drag.

We are so excited waiting for the show at Luhrs Center. And we have front row seats. I grew up listening to his music. I look forward to the show and for 2 hours slipping back to when i was 12.
GY from Texas
I absolutely loved the Albuquerque show. Dueling “banjos” with daughter Ashley playing banjo and Glenn answering on guitar was a highlight. I nearly cried during Wichita Lineman, that song and the performance of it were so passionate. Am so thankful that Glenn and his family are giving his fans this remarkable opportunity to enjoy these his music.
David, Tijeras NM
My wife and I really enjoyed the concert at Rt66 casino on Sunday 29 July. Glen’s voice is still great after all this time and the fan support was really refreshing to see. Glen’s kids are very talented and added tremendously to the experience. Keep going Glen, God bless you and your family.
Dave Mack in buerque,
Thanks Glenn, for a wonderful concert at Route 66 last in Albuquerque last Sunday. Your voice and guitar and all the old tunes were magic. I loved Ashley’s banjo playing too. Hang in there and I hope they find a cure soon for Alzheimers. God bless and keep up the good work
Dswenert2003
Husband and I just saw Glenn Campbell and family in Abq NM. He didn’t miss a step. His talent is unbelieveable, his voice is as beautiful and strong as ever and his musical instrument talent is not to believe. The fact that his daughter Ashley, son’s Shannon and Kyle will carry on his legacy because they have inherited his talent and his skill. He is so proud of his kids.
You all who are excited to see him … you have a right to be he is unbelieveable:)

I love Glen
Please give Glen Campbell organic virgin coconut oil. It’s definitely worth a try and not going to hurt him one bit. One tablespoon each day first week, then 2, then 3 tablespoons each day the third week and there after. check out UTUBE….definitely worth a try.
Essarymd
Awesome concert in Springfield MO last night! It is amazing to see his daughter there to help him if he needs it. He is still a brilliant performer with that beautiful voice. I have always been a huge Glen Campbell fan and still am. I brought a resident from Ozark Mountain Regional Healthcare nursing facility I work for in Crane MO. It was her only wish in life to see Glen in concert so I took her and she had a wonderful time. I got her picture with him after the concert even though we weren’t supposed to be there evidently because we did get told to leave but I still got the picture for her just no autograph. Glen’s kids were so gracious to give autographs to the fans and it was much appreciated. Thanks for the wonderful night especially for my resident her life is now complete.

What a kind and loving thing to do! So happy for you and “your resident!”

Blessed by the love and support of Glen’s family at the concert in Springfield,MO, tonight!

DEAREST GLEN
SORRY I’M HOGGING THE COMMENTS, BUT I WAS WONDERING IF YOU FEEL YOUR OLD SELF AGAIN, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD MAYBE COME BACK TO SYDNEY AUSTRALIA. ONLY IF YOU CAN. I KNOW ITS HOPING ALOT, BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU. YOU, ELVIS AND JOHN DENVER WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SINGERS IN THIS WORLD. AT LEAST I CAN LISTEN AND WATCH YOU ON YOU TUBE. GOD BLESS YOU GLEN.
Elizabethaallan
GLEN WHEN I GROWING UP IN THE 60′S IN THE SYDNEY SUBURBS, I WOULD COME HOME FROM SCHOOL AND MY DEAR MUM HAD THE RADIO ON 2CH AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE WAS THE FIRST THING I HEARD WHEN I WALKED IN THE DOOR. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME SO MANY BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES OF THE WONDERFUL 60′S. I AM SORRY YOU HAVE THE CRUEL ALZHEIMERS DISEASE. I HATE IT FOR ROBBING SO MANY MANY PEOPLE OF THEIR MEMORIES AND PAST.
Elizabethaallan
GLEN CAMPBELL AND ELVIS PRESLEY WERE THE MOST HANDSOME AND MOST BEAUTIFUL SINGERS/SONGWRITERS THAT GOD PUT ON THIS PLANET FOR US.

Medical doctors do not know the score, like a nurse {holistic} practitioner. Most doctors do not know about the life saving protocol of holistic medicine. They were trained in drugs, {which poison}, usually making the cure worse than the disease. Please, do not put all your eggs in one basket, thinking that they know hese things, “in most cases”, they do not! I fervently pray, that he will get the right nutrients, which will remove the sludge, and make him well. I am a relative, and I have had the same problem. I went the holistic route, and it has worked, like a charm. I say this in love. God be with Glen

Glen is under the best doctor’s care at Cedar’s Sinai and I’m sure his doctors know everything that is out there in order to help Alzheimer’s patients.
Omajan88
Saw Glen @ The Birchmere on Monday night! Awesome! Just like the old days! He was ‘right on’! My friends said you would never know anything was wrong with him! They loved it! Way to go Glen! Keep up the Good work! I also went to see him in January and this performance on Monday night was fantastic! God Bless Glen Campbell!
Jeff
So awesome the new dates of the tour have been added. Wow! Even going to Hawaii! The Kenny Rogers team made a big mistake not keeping Glen on their tour. Maybe it’s time for Kenny to fold ‘em?
Billy
Yeah, Glen’s management is DEFINITELY overworking him! NO doubt! Everyone that has seen the tour calendar has commented on how much work they have given him. Kim (his wife) should’ve put a stop to this herself (in other words, reduced at least slightly the tour intensity) – but NO. Glen has spent SO, SO many years on the road, it’s crazy! Let the man have some breathing room and enjoy himself a little for heaven’s sake. Do 1 show, one day off, ect. – that’s why daughter Debbie no longer toured with her Dad, she didn’t want to see like this. The kids love it cause they get to do their songs at the beginning to promote themselves. Anyway, GLEN…we all love you and thank you for all of the wonderful, wonderful music and the amazing shows you have given us since the 1960′s. God Bless you Glen Campbell!!!!
Annie
I agree. He’s travelling on a tour bus. I read in his autobiography that when he was younger, he wanted to be home with his family and not tour so much but now they have him travelling on a tour bus with so many concerts. Why not let dear Glen do just a few concerts since he obviously enjoys it but also let him relax and enjoy his last few lucid days. His children are so into promoting that band of theirs and his wife always mentions the children’s band in her interviews. Obviously, they are greedy and Glen has no say in what he does anymore. He’s the best, years ago I met him. He was so gracious, thanking me for taking his pic, gave me an autograph and held my hand (which I licked all the way back home!!) LOL
Tat1950
Oh, I wish I cd go. I saw Glen Campbell when he performed at the Shady Grove Music Fair (don’t recall the year.) They tore down the Music Fair, but I’ll never forget being able to see and hear Glen in person. He is and always has been my very favorite performer. I am praying that his Goodbye Tour isn’t too much for him. Glad to see that his kids are looking after him.
Layman_cheryl
I hope all of this travel isn’t to much for him! Thats alot for anyone,and he is 76 years old.We all love you Glen,but please take care of yourself

They are not canceled…the tour schedule on this site is not updated as often or quickly as it should. There are several concerts confirmed and even already on sale that this site doesn’t even have listed

DEAR GLEN CAMPBELL
YOU WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME SINGER I HAVE EVER SEEN WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER, YOUR FEELINGS AND DEPTH FOR ALL YOUR SONGS AND MUSIC WAS BREATHTAKING. I WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL SONGS IN MY HEART. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GIFT.
Elizabethaallan
I COULDN’T WAIT TO SEE GLEN CAMPBELL AT THE STATE THEATRE IN SYDNEY IN AUGUST 2012.. I HOPE IF YOU FEEL YOUR OLD SELF AGAIN, YOU COULD TRY AND RESCHEDULE FOR SYDNEY. I LOVE YOUR MUSIC SO MUCH GLEN. YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND. (JUST LIKE ELVIS PRESLEY AND THE BEATLES). I JUST CAN’T STAND ANY OF TODAYS MUSIC (EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TRIED).
Darryl
Dear Mr. Glen Campbell,
I’ve been a huge fan since your early days on TV, in the 60′s. We finally met face to face, almost ten years ago in Phoenix, Arizona, prior to the taping of the PBS radio show, “What Do You Know?”, with Micheal Felman. We walked together and talked about random things. You were so gracious. I wanted to just talk with you in a normal, comfortable fashion, before all your adoring fans came running to you for an autograph. I didn’t even ask for a autograph myself. As I left you, numerous fans were crowding around you, but I really treasured those special minutes we got to talk with each other. Thank-you for that.
I still, often listen to your music and reminisce, emotionally torn between tears and joy.
Working in the emergency medical field and having family members with your same affliction, I fully understand what you, your family and love ones are going through. Try to be as positive as one possibly can. “Know you are loved…tremendously and always, no matter what.”
Thank-you so much for all the music over the years. You’ve left an indelible mark on humanity and many, untold fans. You’ve made a difference. Thank-you !!
God bless you and Angels on your shoulders always Mr. Campbell !!
sincerely,
from Darryl,
an eternal fan in Phoenix, Arizona
Andrew
Sorry you can’t make it down under, was so looking forward to an evening with you & Kenny Rogers. You take care Glen.

Glen is a national treasure. God has blessed music lovers with decades of his talent for us to enjoy. There are nutritional roads to explore that would give Glen much wellness and here’s hoping he explores them. Gerson Therapy among others. We want Glen here forever. God bless.
Glen
Wonderful show in Hiawasee GA. Memories can’t be taken away from you and will always remember. Thanks Glen and band.
sgw
We saw Glen in Panama City last nite; his voice is still wonderful; he just seemed very tired; i hope this tour isn’t just too much for him; he just couldn’t communicate . i’m so glad i saw what i believe was the most perfect show 15 years ago when he performed at the Ocean Opry; that is what i want to remember. And thankyou Billy Rader for that presentation at the end last nite!
I love you Glen!

So VERY dissapointed, Glen won’t be coming to Melbourne Australia, was so looking forward to seeing my Hero one last time! GOOD LUCK Glen THANX for countless hours of enjoyment.

Loved Glen in Panama City last night. Both my husband and I were very impressed with not only him but his band as well. Very talented family. Music was great, sound was wonderful. Good Show Glen.
Cheryl
I am very excite about seeing this concert! I saw Glen Camplbell the last time he played at The Birchmere. I was able to meet him and get a big hug and my picture taken with him?
I brought with me my Rhinestone Cowboy Record Album that I’ve had since I was 5 years old and he autographed it to me & I was also given his guitar pick! My husband had all
of this professionally framed for me as a surprised for my birthday & it’s just beautiful. Attached is a picture of it.
I love Glen Campbell!!!!! I hope I am lucky enough to meet him again and have him sign my Ghost on the Canvas Record cover.
I would also love to have on last HUG!!! Oh I forgot! I was so excited when I meet him that I told him “he was my biggest fan!” He looked at me & laughed “oh really… I am…”
I’ll be there Monday nightL) Cheryl
Omajan88
We will be there too! Hope to see you! Can’t wait! I’ve been a fan since 1965 ! Hoping to meet him for a final time. I’ve been blessed so many times meeting Glen.

I just booked my tickets for the Cary, North Carolina concert and hoping not to get disappointed. SO excited to see him in concert. Hope he is well and up to it.
Mnadel
So glad I went to see Glen in Atlanta (Chastain) he still has a wonderful, sweet voice. Will sorely miss his contribution to music. If you have the chance to see him don’t pass on it.
Tony
Just received an email that his Sydney concerts with Kenny Rogers have been cancelled. Already booked of course but the thing that got me is that they are now saying that Glen was a support act to Kenny (do you believe that) yet they advertised beforehand that it was a an equal act. Organisers just trying to squeeze out of paying for refunds as usual. Kenny is always brilliant but I was really going to see Glen as well. They now have a couple of home grown singers as “support acts”, both OK but not great and certainly not in the league as Glen.
I’d heard that Glen had an intense fear of flying, is that true? If that’s the case the concert should have never been organised. In any event, I wish him well he’s one of life’s good guys.

Has anyone heard how’s he doing? I saw him in Stockton, California.He is an amazing artist. An American treasure.

We were just wondering if Glen Campbell will be touring in Canada, hopefully in Moncton, NB…

Are the Aussie shows cancelled? dates removed from tour schedule …
Toni
I had tickets to the Brisbane show and received an email from the venue to advise the concert has been cancelled due to deteriorating health. The removal of all other australian dates, would leave me to believe he wont be making the trip. I am devastated, but moreso for Mr Campbell himself. I wish him all the very best.
Cherri1019
To Glen n family, thank u for the many years of relateable music. Everysong was another i swore was written for my life. I’m really sad that i wont be able to make ur last concerts but know theres someone out here living threw ur words. God Bless You All Carrie.
Hare
It thrills my hear to see Glen still able to sing and play inspite of his illness. So many people with Alzheimer’s withdraw from everyone. His putting a “face” on the disease, may help bring a cure. His song “A Better Place” is affirmation that his faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior is real. May Go bless him and his family. Alzheimer’s Disease doesn’t have just one victim, but it affects everyone they love also.
Cherri1019
U r so rite my grandma who raised me an introduced me to glen campbell and all the others was diagnosed in 94 and for the next 4yrs as she faded away i raised her. I try to only remember the good moments and of course the lady she raised me to be. The other day my cousin who was 4 when she got really bad barely remembers grandma but she gets emotional over the woman she never knew. God Bless You Hare

Love Love Love Mr. Campbell. He was truly amazing and the show was truly heartfelt and wonderful. I also love how sweet his kids are with him. Hugs to everyone who is there for him.

Truly a hero of mine…he’s inspired me from the SHINGDIG days, up until today. I’ve been fortunate enough to see him twice… in the 70′s at The Desert Inn in Vegas, and then again about 10 years ago in North Carolina. God bless you Glen. You have inspired more musicians than you’ll ever know.

I’ve been blessed by Glen Campbell music since I became a fan at 9 years old. That was 1969 and I thought you were the best singer that ever lived not to mention the most handsome. I visited the Houston rodeo sometime back then and saw you Glen, the up and coming Rhinestone Cowboy. I even passed someone a note and asked them to get it to you. Your kids were a huge blessing to my husband and I Saturday night in San Antonio. We loved the show! Thankyou for a lifetime of that golden voice. I thank God for it, and pray that you and your family will have rich and wonderful times singing to our country. Thankyou Glen!
A fabulous show in Galveston last night! Thanks for giving us the chance to see you and your family.

Experienced a great show in Galveston last night. Glen’s voice was just as beautiful and clear as always. Thank you Glen (and family and crew) for such a wonderful night of beautiful songs. You’re a first class musician and entertainer. Bless you!

I saw the show in San Antonio this past weekend, great seats and a great show. What a legend!
He can still pick that guitar and had his children in the band who are very talented as well.

Enjoyed Glen Campbell performance in Galveston, Texas last evening. It was a great show. It was very touching to see most of his back up band were his children. Glad I was able to be in the audience. He still has a great sense of humor. Great job to all…
Lynn from SA
I enjoyed seeing Glen Campbell last night in San Antonio. He’s 76 and ill, but out there giving it his all. I respect that. That’s not to say he didn’t put on a good show, he did. Worth every penny. Glad to see him.
Ed78250
Your music touches people in a very unique and personal way. I grew up with your music and remember my family watching the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour! I greatly enjoyed your concert tonight in San Antonio. You are a true American treasure, and its such a legacy to see it passed to your children. Thank you for this special evening.

What a great concert in San Antonio tonight. Grew up listening to your music. So glad I was able to see in person.

I take Coconut Oil, along with Niacinamide, Mixed Amino Acids, and Resveratrol {red wine extract} I am having very good success, “with my memory”, “since starting on these nutrients”. You can research all of these nutrients, online. Keeping toxins out of your system, also “helps greatly”. I eat Blackberries, Cranberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Pomagranites, grapes, fish, broccoli, kale, yogurt,whole grains, and nuts, “mostly”.. Hope to see you at the Ozark Empire Fair, Springfield, MO, on July 27th…My Love to You!

If Glen or someone close to him would research Coconut Oil and Alzheimer’s, they would be helping him greatly. Coconut Oil reverses Alzheimer’s! It’s not some scam or anything, it’s true. Look it up on youtube.

I wish him and his family well from the UK and only wish I was in the US to go and see him!
Petiemetzger
Got to see Glen perform last night in Bayfield, WI. What a great entertainer he is, and can still sing and pick that guitar! I drove 6 hours to see him and would do it again if he ever came back. I was able to catch him after his show by his tour bus and I told him awesome show and and touched my ARM and said thanks dear! Such a sweetheart he is god bless you Glen and your family! Hope to see you again in concert!
RuthM
So happy for you! Some of Glen’s fans have been so fortunate!

He’s the best guitar and banjo player I’ve ever heard – fantastic voice too!!
Jill & Wayne Hansen
My husband and I LOVED the Farewell Concert in Bayfield Wi at the Big Top Chautauqua tonight. Wayne has mild Alzheimer’s so we felt it was important to see this concert. Wow what a show!! Glen can still really play that guitar and sing the old and new songs. Thanks Glen!! It was a wonderful memory! You really are doing great!!
LindaM
My best friend and I have tickets for the July 21 concert at Cary, NC. This will be our fifth concert together to see Glen in concert. We both have been fans since college, which was over forty years ago. We are so excited to have the opportunity to see Glen perform. Thank you Glen for giving us so many wonderful memories.
Phil Cavali
I saw this show…it was almost rained out but Glen hung around till the thunder and lightning left, he came on stage
and gave a great performance to those that hung around, thank you Glen
for the wonderful music you have given us thru the years. My favorite
moment of the night was while he was singing Wichita Lineman he was
pointing at his daughter Ashley while singing… “And I want you for all
time”
Kristy
Saw Glen perform last night at Ravinia and it was truly one of the most memorable experiences ever. His songs were part of my childhood so I took my mom, now 75, to the show. We had 11th row seats and Glen sounded great. My only regret was that my dad could not be with us as he’s passed away. I wish I could see him perform again. You were amazing Glen, thank you!
Petiemetzger

I grew up with a huge crush on him too. Glad you had the opportunity to see him perform live.
Evelyne Ball
Sure would love to have Glenn closer to Charleston SC~

Glen, we really enjoyed your show in Sandy, Utah last night. A beautiful evening, and beautiful music that took us back. Thank you for everything.

I agree with the comments about the opening act at the Hollywood Bowl – especially regarding Courtney Taylor-Taylor and Lucinda Williams. This was supposed to be a tribute to Glen??!! They really could have done a lot better – or have gotten performers who actually cared enough not to stink up the stage. But – Glen was great! This is the 3rd time I’ve seen him on this tour, and he was really doing some great vocal/guitar riffs! Hope he keeps doing this for as long as possible – but lets skip the opening acts – unless it’s his kid’s band (Instant People). I saw them last October and they were really good.

Oh, Dawes….good backing band on the set as a whole and did a fine job, regardless of the strength or weaknesses of the vocalists they supported. Bravo to them.
http://profiles.google.com/kfitzer Ken Fitzer
I’m guessing the opening tribute set was put together by KCRW and was something strictly for the Bowl performance, not part of the tour per se. And yes, it was certainly a mixed bag. Jenny Lewis and Jackson Browne were great and Kris Kristofferson was good but Courtney Taylor-Taylor was, for some reason, chanelling Leonard Cohen and Lucinda Williams seemed a bit sauced and couldn’t remember the title of her own song.

I loved the Glen Campbell concert in general – he was priceless, his kids played and sang great, and the love flying around between the stage and the crowd was palpable.
But who in the world booked Courtney Taylor-Taylor? He sang in some odd key left over when they threw the lock away! Just awful – how did he get past Security? Was he a friend of the producers? They booked that guy over of all the other (and some legendary) talent in LA? Really? Talented locals (famous or not, oldie or contemporary) would have come out of the woodwork to show some love for Glen. Heck – most of the Wrecking Crew still lives here! Show the fans and Glen some respect – please replace that guy on tour!
There was only one other stumble that I would comment on – what on earth was Dawes’ drummer doing singing a strained Beach Boys lead, when Jackson Browne was right there onstage? Browne was reduced to playing rhythm guitar while that guy sang, really? Hey, as a drummer, the Dawes guy was great – but as a singer – amateur at best.
Not to be a hater – We were thrilled to see Campbell, his family, and longtime friends – they all seemed thrilled to perform for us, too. It’s just that those couple of casting choices really stood out, dinging an otherwise thrilling experience.

I think they Dawes vocalist took over for the parts that were out of Jackson Browne’s aging range.

Carol nailed it. The first two singers were an embarrassment! This is the Hollywood Bowl! We expect people who perform there to be at least good! The rest of the first half was good. I was impressed by Jenny Lewis. Glen was wonderful!
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_YUA5HK7RYMOEV4LJ7Z3OGAOMYA Carol
Saw Glen tonite at the Hollywood Bowl. He was awesome! Unfortunately, the first half of the show we could’ve done without! The group Dawes, and individual musicians Courtney Taylor-Taylor, Lucinda Williams, Jenny Lewis, Kris Kristofferson and Jackson Browne all were part of the first half — there to pay tribute to Glen. They either sang songs that Glen had sung over the years or songs that he played on — i.e. The Monkees’ “Daydream Believer.” The group Dawes came out first. They sang 2 of their own songs, then a Glen song (can’t remember which one). All the individual musicians were accompanied by the group Dawes. The next “musician” Courtney Taylor-Taylor came out and sang The Monkees “Daydream Believer” and “Last Train to Clarksville,” and the Beach Boy’s “I Get Around.” He was absolutely HORRIBLE!! He butchered the songs — especially the Monkees songs — and we all commented that Davy Jones had to be rolling over in his grave!! He sounded like he was drunk! Then Lucinda Williams came out and sang Glen’s “Turn Around” and “Yesterday When I Was Young.” She also sang “You Were Born to Be Loved.” All three songs sounded like SHE was drunk too! She kept swaying back and forth and we all thought she was going to fall over!! It was a total insult to us fans — listening to these “musicians” butcher and bastardize these songs! They were the worst!! And they didn’t do Glen any favors!! They were totally disgusting!! Then Kris Kristofferson came out and sang “The Highway Men,” “Let Me Be A Little Kinder” and “Someone’s Gonna Get Hurt.” He was OK — his voice is not as good as it used to be — but he had a sweet spirit about him. Then Jenny Lewis came out. She could actually sing — and she sang “She’s Gone, Gone, Gone” and another song she wrote about life on the road. She then introduced Jackson Browne — who came out and sang the old Glen and Bobbie Gentry duet — “Let It Be Me” with Jenny. He then sang the Beach Boy’s song “I Know There’s An Answer” and “These Days” from Glen’s new CD. He brought all the musicians back out to sing together “Viva Las Vegas.” This lasted for about 1-1/2 hours! We couldn’t WAIT to have Glen come out — and when he did — he was GREAT!!! Whoever booked the first half of the show — needs to get their head examined!! What a waste of time and money for us fans!! Just plain mind numbingly stupid!
Glen’s set list:
“Gentle on My Mind”
“Galveston”
“By The Time I Get To Phoenix”
“Try A Little Kindness”
“Where’s the Playground, Susie?”
“Didn’t We”
“I Can’t Stop Loving You”
“True Grit”
“Lovesick Blues”
“Dueling Banjos” w/Ashley Campbell
Glen took a short break and “Victoria Ghost” (Ashley and Shannon Campbell, w/Cal Campbell, Ry Jarred and Kief Nilsson, Harry’s son) sang one of their new original songs, then sang “Hey Little One”
Glen:
“Don’t Go”
“Your Amazing Grace”
“The Moon’s a Harsh Mistress”
“Wichita Lineman”
“Rhinestone Cowboy”
Encore:
“Southern Nights”
“A Better Place”
Glen sang Jimmy Webb’s song “The Moon’s a Harsh Mistress” — flawlessly — and it was absolutely beautiful — only accompanied by T.J. Kuenster on the keyboards
(I may have missed 1 song on the set list). Glen’s half of the show lasted for about 1 hr and 15 min.
Glen’s voice and guitar playing were at the top — just superb !! Don’t miss an opportunity to see him if he comes to your town!! You will NOT be disappointed!! He is the best!!
Gwen
Carol, you got it! The openings acts were horrible..I have heard better at our local karaoke night! Glen was fabulous!!!!!!!!!!
Whalewidow
Ok it isn’t just me. The opening acts STANK. Courtney Taylor was awful. Lucinda Williams might have been drunk.
But then Glen came on. He was great. The care his daughter showed him was pure love.
Mike
It would have been nice if you gave some of these artists a pass. Most are doing this just for Glen, so that should mean something. This is about a star with ALZ saying goodbye – I suggest you practice your ‘artist reviews’ on a show with less meaning than a group helping Glen on his goodbye tour. Geez,,,, some people.
http://www.facebook.com/carol.wood.7524 Carol Wood
Mike — were you there? Do you have any clue as to what happened and what we experienced? If not, check out what other people said on this site about the concert — they tended to agree with me and the experience I described. Most of these so called “artists” did not do Glen any favors… if you weren’t there — then.you have no idea what you’re talking about — time to get over yourself.
Michael
The concert at the historic Bob Hope Theater in Stockton was just amazing. A few stumbles here and there(he covers it well with jokes) and a perfect set list. Brought back so many childhood memories and he played my favorite songs off of Ghost on the canvas. A better place & It’s your amazing grace. The hits were one right after the other. No filler. And yes, I teared up a few times. It was great that he played True Grit, his John Wayne opus. 3 of his children were in the band along with Harry Nillson’s son on bass. Classic show and one heck of a brave man to be doing what he is doing given his health. Class act.

I was 4 when I heard Gentle on My Mind and it still moves me to this day. Thank you for all the music Mr. Campbell!

Saw Glen in 1968(with Bobbie Gentry) in Columbus Oh & May 10 2012 in Wabash In. Both great shows. Jim Short

Santa Rosa concert on June 22, 2012 was great. The good moments definitely outweighed the bad. First time I had ever seen Glen live, and I enjoyed every moment including the intro performance.
God Bless You, Glen.

Saratoga Mountain Winery was a great concert. Glen was funny and really played his heart out. This was a great Birthday present! He will bring back so many memories for you if you go to his concert! Thank you Glen, we love you!

I am looking forward to seeing Glen at the Ozark Empire Fair, in Springfield, Missouri. Glen looked great, with a big, beautiful smile, “at the Country Music Awards”..That smile is our trademark! Most of us, who are related to him, have that defining smile. Keep on smiling, you look handsome and as sweet, as ever! Love to you!
Bbjinfo
Glen, ignor that last message. Though Jesus all things are possible, don’t stop fighing and do it on your’re knee’s. I’ve loved you since I was a kid, told people you were my brother. You were my first crush. Love you always. God Bless

I am so sad Glenn is not well, I have known him YEARS!!! I followed him on the golf course, and went to his concerts. He is the best, and here in England we will miss him. I hope Gl;ejn will read these messages. Glen, take care, I love you. Betty Davies. xxx

Well I’d love to see Glen but he is not coming to Colorado!!! Whats up with that? 4 shows in Cali, and some states with 2 shows, but colorado not 1? Lamo
Julia
I wish there was an Oregon date up there!
Dswenert2003
I’m so thrilled to get tickets to see Mr. Campbell in ABQ NM. I couldn’t make it to Inn of The Mountain Gods last December and I was so bummed. Glen Campbell and his uncle Dick Bills played the Western Skys Hotel in Abq NM when I was a kid (and so was Mr. Campbell) My parents would dance to his music. I’m a huge fan and so excited to get to attend his farewell tour. Mr. Campbell and my dad look similar and are both from the Texas/Arkansas area. My parents are great fans also unfortnately dad has passed and mom has dementia and can’t attend. I’ll enjoy the show for all of us.
I love you Glen Campbell!

We saw Glen in Louisville this past weekend, he was wonderful!! His guitar playing was phenomena l!! He did a great job and everyone had a great time!! We enjoyed him very much. I would recommend his show to everyone!!

Great show in Peekskill,NY
Tomcatz52
I see where the State theater here in New Brunswick NJ has Glen booked, for October!!! I dont see it here, but on the theater’s venue, he is booked there! Awesome. We saw him In Red Bank and met him in person too!!!!! What a guy! I met Kim too!!!!!!!
Kmf
I only wish they would come back again near us the Show was Great!!!! We live in upstate New York and we loved, loved, loved the show. If you do come back this way again we will be sure to see you again. I wish you all nothing but the best and keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hold on and love each other as long as you can. Life is much to short and to precious.

To all of Glen’s fans who wish he would return to their area(s), I don’t blame you. However, there are many places (like Colorado) where he has not performed even one time on his goodbye tour! If he is able to continue touring, I think everyone should have at least one chance to see him. (My husband and I flew from Denver to Tucson to see him there, since there were no Colorado dates scheduled. But we were fortunate to have that opportunity. Not everyone can afford to travel to see his show.)
http://www.facebook.com/glennbronx Glenn Leahey
I hope that Glen, his family and band are ENJOYING this farewell tour. The one show in New York City//Town Hall in December was SOLD OUT. Great reviews. If Glen does return, I recommend (perhaps) booking at date at the Beacon Theater which is a little larger.
Glen
Better yet, Radio City before the Christmas Show!

glen needs to come back to winnipeg canada mcphilips or regent casino. He was here in 2008 I AM THE GUY WHO REMINDED HIM THE NAME OF RAIN DROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD WHEN IT LEFT HIM FOR A SEC. I AM HIS GREAT FAN SINCE I WAS 10 NOW I AM 56. GLEN COME BACK HERE WITH YOUR KIDS. all the best,

Me and my family saw Glen Campbell in Silver Springs, Florida. You really have to admire this man. Going out on tour and dealing with his health issue. I hope to be as strong as he is when I get older.

Any possible Canadian tour dates? I’m in the Ottawa area…
http://www.facebook.com/mike.roy Mike Roy
I so wish he’d come to Ottawa, but our festivals aren’t good enough for talent like his! Hoedown would’ve been sweet, but that moron ruined it, and he’s in Australia at that time. I red somewhere that he’s back in NJ in Oct, so maybe the schedule will fill between now and then and that Canada will return. I saw him in Toronto Aug of last year. Amazing performance. Living Legend.
I noticed Victoria’s Ghost is now the opening act instead of Instant People. Ashley and Shannon are Victoria’s Ghost. Anyone know what is up with that?
Jg50cnj1
The NFL should be giving Glen a hell of a look for the halftime show at the next Superbowl,….. Glen has been constantly touring now for years,.. has the great new album out,…… is not controversial,… has huge draw appeal , not only in the US, but around the World,…….. and not only older people,….. but it was passed on to younger generations ,………… IF I WERE IN CHARGE OF THE NFL, BASED ON WHAT GLEN IS DOING, I’D HAVE TO GIVE HIM A HELL OF A LOT OF CONSIDERATION FOR HALFTIME AT THE NEXT SUPERBOWL.
Soundman
I went to the Las Vegas concert to see Glen, but I fell in love with his family. So often, we see stars with terrible family lives, but when you see his kids, you can see that Glen got it right. I watched the pride show on his and Kim’s face when he was honored at the Country Music Awards 2011. (U-Tube) and his beautiful Ashley on Rascal Flatts Video “Banjo” I love this man for his talent and Jimmy’s songs, but now I love his family. Hollywood should take note that it is actually possible to be a star and keep your feet on the ground and have a good wholesome life. Love you Glen and I always will.
Jg50cnj1
Soundman,….. that is a huge , maybe un-intentuional, back handed slap; against Elvis,….. right? Hollywood,….. If Elvis had sued in Federal Court, after Sun records sold him to the COLONEL,….. Elvis woulda been free to go to NASHVILLE, and been legitimately protected, for the long term,…. Elvis went to Hollywood and recorded hundreds of inconsequential songs for movies that he starred in. YOU ARE RIGHT, only no one believes what we are saying.
Westsidemust
I was fortunate to get to see Glen at his Las Vegas show since he was playing in the Hotel I was staying at. Got to meet his daughter Ashley and talked to his long time bandmate T J. Hotel Manager gave me all the advertising posters. Very remeberable experience.
IdahoRanchWife
I was at Glen’s Las Vegas concert also. Absolutely fabulous!! Thank you, Glen!!
RuthM
Did you actually get to meet him/talk to him? Or did you just see him in line ahead of you? P.S. Guess I’m an “oldie” too. I’m sure I would know him anywhere; I’ve followed his career since the late 60′s!
Jpkeller
Does anyone know if Glen stays around after his concerts to greet fans?
RuthM
As far as I know, no he does not. My husband and I flew from Denver to Tucson in Feb. to see him. His show was wonderful, but no, we did not have the opportunity to “meet & greet.” As far as I can tell by reading all of these YouTube posts, it’s just by luck that some fans are getting to meet him. I’ve read stories of meeting him in hotel lobbies, on the street, in restaurants, at airports, etc. It always seems to be just a chance meeting. I’m happy for those fans who have been fortunate enough to run into him. I’ve always wanted to meet him myself.
However, I’m not sure if it will be different in Nashville on June 7. I have the impression that the CMA Music Festival may be more geared toward fans meeting their favorite stars, but I’m not really sure if that is the case. Does anyone else know?
Elle7646
It sounds like the best chance is prior to the show. I guess maybe a smaller more local venue may be the best opportunity to see him. Ruth, you sound like a truly kind person and I hope you do get a chance to meet Glen.
Jg50cnj1
ashlery stays around,… anyone can meet ashley,… she will sign the cd’s,… talk to you,….. at redbank show, she came out after and stood there, anyone had the opportunity to meet her, thank her, and get an autograph
Mezandmezzie
yes, he does stay around to greet fans. I saw him in Bloomington, Ill. in jan. , got mad since I had things to be signed, and didn’t get them like I was supposed to. The staff manager finally had to make up for her mistake, and I did get to meet Glen after the show!!! Absolutely fabulous-got two big hugs and gave him a kiss. Have been in love with this guy since the Goodtime Hour show, and I am now 63. He’s the best in my book. Betty
Bobsimpson
Glen I have no idea if the letter I sent you on this site had any influence on your adding the Palace Theatre to your tour but Thank You! I will be there as promised and will be in awe! Thanks again for coming to see us in Louisville! Bob Simpson!
Lvglen
I was lucky enough to attend his concert in Las Vegas Saturday night. It was fantastic. Standing room only. I was amazed at how good his voice sounded, and his guitar playing is still top notch. The first time I saw Glen, he was performing with the Beach Boys. I think it was 1968. So, I feel I’ve come full circle with his career. By the way, I love the new album too, and listen to it all the time. Thank you Glen, for all of the great entertainment you have given us over the years.
Stationagent1
I saw Glen Campbell today in Nashville. At the airport. I was standing behind him in line to buy a cup of coffee. He looked good and was with his daughter. He was friendly to everyone. Problem though, is only oldies like me recognized him. And that’s understandable.
RuthM
Somehow my comment posted at the top of the page instead of under yours. I was asking if you actually met Glen Campbell, or did you just see him and recognize him?
Maurits
BC Burke, I agree full 100% with you. Please to all: Listen to his song, see him play his music, absorb his music and let it live on within you. That is what is meant. Treat the man as a treasure, give him too much stress and Glenn will be gone and then only memory remains. Please cherish him being around for all of us.
BC Burke
Give the man a break! He has Alzheimers, Mell, Elle7646, & RuthM! Every moment is a challenge for him. Imagine being in the middle of grocery shopping, and suddenly feeling like you don’t know where you are. You know that awful feeling when you can’t remember the name of someone you’ve known for decades, and they’re standing right in front of you? That’s Glen’s life right now! The music comes from his soul….that’s why he remembers it. Everything else probably has a 50% chance of totally confusing him. Be grateful that he’s still well enough to put on a farewell tour, and that you have the mental capabilities to obtain tickets to see him perform his last concerts before he slips away into the abyss of Alzheimer’s.
Elle7646
I did say he does not owe me anything. I paid for a ticket and watched a wonderful show. For that I am very happy. I also said he is probably drained after a show. I was trying to politely express that. After all it is similar to a job and after a day of work no one wants to be bombarded.
Bc Burke, kindly read a post thoroughly before assuming something negative.
RuthM
BC Burke, I also did not say anything negative about Glen Campbell. I simply expressed that I understand the disappointment of not meeting him, when there are many, many comments and stories from others on You Tube who have had that pleasure, and they all say how kind he is, and what a wonderful experience it was!
I also said that I have been blessed to have been able to see him in concert numerous times.
Furthermore, I expressed my deep thankfulness that Glen has accepted the gift of Jesus’ death on the cross and resurection, to pay for ALL of OUR sins. That, after all is the most important thing anyone can do in this life! I pray for Glen and his whole family that the Lord will be with them thru these difficult times, and spare them much suffering.
Please don’t put us down for having a desire to meet him. We’re simply espressing how much we do care.
Mell
I saw him last in Jacksonville, Fl. He was great his kids can never take his place. I got a picture of Ashley getting on their Bus, But they would not let me within 50 feet of him. I was so disappointed . I just wanted to touch him….Never saw KIM at all. We stayed in the same Hotel they came out a private door. This really hurt when you have been to ee him 3 times, cant get a front row seat and it appears they are trying to shelter him. I have loved this man a long time since 1969 and I am ver hurt by some remarks —He came out shook hands with us and greeted us. This never happened to me. I loved him when everyone else was ready to give up on him- but not me. Hope this mesage will get to him and his family. Because I only went to see Glen Campbell. Sarah Mell
RuthM
I feel your disappointment! I’ve been wanting to meet Glen Campbell since the late 60′s early 70′s, when I was a teenager and had a huge crush on him! I read all these comments about others meeting him, shaking his hand, having their pictures taken together, chatting with him for several minutes to an hour, etc. How can some be so fortunate, and others like us never get that opportunity? However, I do feel blessed to have seen him live a total of 6 times in my life. The first 5 times were back in the 70′s, and the last time was in Tucson, AZ this past Feb., on his Goodbye Tour.
I’m also very thankful that he got his life turned around and came back to his Christian faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! If I never meet him on earth, we will rejoice together in heaven one day!
Elle7646
I would have loved to have met him too. But I understood that this is probably draining on him after a concert. He does give it his all and would probably love to meet everyone, that’s just how he is. I think of it this way; we did get to see a great show and he doesn’t owe me anything. I’m so glad I saw him and trying to see if I can make another show. God bless him and his family, they are bring so much joy to so many of us.
Bsbm53
i saw glen campbell in englewood nj a week ago and im still under a spell. It was fantastic to see and hear him in such great voice and awesome on guitar. My husband was amazed at his mastery on the various instruments but for me it was all in the mellifluous voice unchanged always great to hear ever gentle on MY mind !!! i was blown away by the whole experience watching his adult children play great music . I’ve been listening to the CD all week “ghost on the canvas” and i love it. want to hear it on the radio fantastic!! God bless you glen and kim and family. thank you for the great show

WE HAD HOPES OF SEEING GLEN. THEN HE MADE IT TO RED BANK, AND HE DID SO GREAT! WHILE WALKING JUST 1/2 BLOCK AWAY, I CAUGHT HIM STANDING THERE, 5 FEET AWAY! i CALLED OUT TO HIM, AND HE WAS VERY CORDIAL, AND SO WAS KIM HIM WIFE. IT WAS SO NICE TO SHAKE HIS HAND, POSE FOR PICTURES. WOW I AM JUST FLOATING STILL. WE TOOK ALOT OF PICTURES, EVEN SOME BY HIS TOUR BUS. HE IS REALLY DOING GOOD! I ASKED HIM HOW HE IS, AND HE SAID, ” I’M FINE! HOW ABOUT YOU?”
RuthM
You’re so fortunate! Any way you can post your pictures? I’d love to see them and “share” in your good fortune! I’ve been wanting to meet him since I was a teenager with a huge crush on him in the late 60′s early 70′s.
Tomcatz52
Ya know thats a great idea! I have to figure out how, but I’d love to share them! I have pics of him at his tour bus with Kim, and standing on the corner looking for his ride. I will try!

BUT I WALKED AWAY, AND LET MY MOM CRY ON HIS ARM FOR A MOMENT WITH HIM,…. I THINK THE SHOW WAS GREAT,….. ITS GLEN CAMPBELL,….. IT WAS GREAT,…. I DONT KNOW HOW TO SAY IT ANY OTHER WAY,….
RuthM
Glen Campbell uses a cane? He didn’t have it on stage when we saw him, in Feb. I wonder if it’s a temporary thing, because at some of the last concerts he mentioned hurting his knee.(per You Tube videos) How great for you and your Mom!
Tomcatz52
Hi, I am so happy for you and your Mom! What a gift hey? I knew there had to be some others who saw him at that retsaurant. We were just so lucky! I had some of the photos printed, and they look so good. I cant believe its me in the picture, with Glen Campbell resting his arm on my shoulder! We all had a great night. Lets wish Glen alot more!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks! I wish I could share my pics here somehow!!!!!!
Elle7646
I remember listening to Glen on the “Hi Fi” when I was a kid. I’ve always loved him. Seeing him and his family in concert was such a wonderful experience. They are truly bringing a lot of joy to many of us. Thanks so much. I am now a fan of Instant People too; they were all unbelievable. Truly talented musicians.
Tomcatz52
I saw Glens show last night, it was awesome. I ran into him on the street, 2 hrs before show time, and had my picture taken with him, shook his hand and had a chat. What a gift that was! Kim was very cordial as well!
RuthM
You were so fortunate!
Csod
I also went to the show last night and it was a great show. I was walking around town but did not have the luck you had of meeting him on the street with his wife. What street in Red Bank did you meet up with him?
Tomcatz52
He was one half block away, going in the restaurant. He had just gotten out of a car, that brought him from his travel bus. I called to him, and he said hello, shook my hand, put jis arm over my shoulder and we took the pictures, I have many with him and Kim. What a surprise that was!!!!!!! WOW
Elle7646
Saw Glen and his family last night in Red Bank. THEY WERE AWESOME! I’m checking the tour locations, hopefully see him again. What a great concert. Glen’s still got it! Instant people were great too.
Jg50cnj1
I was there last night. It has taken me 14 hours or so to sink in what I just saw. Glen Campbell was great last night, and his kids, INSTANT PEOPLE, are great too. Glen CAMPBELL Is a huge star, very few performers are in his level. Johnny Csh couldn’t shine his shoes. Glens got what, a ton of grammys. Last night show in NJ, was awsome for the fans that live in NJ, the people that saw Glen in the 60′s and 70′s, who never forgot what it meant. My dad was a huge Campbell fan,… and Itook my mom last night, my dad passed in 2002,……It is just sinking in how much i appreciate last nights show. Thank you to Glen and his kids!!!!!! ps: i’ll be watchinbg for instant people to do great things,…. xoxoxoxo

I REMEMBER GROWING UP LISTENING TO MY DAD PLAY THE GUITAR AND FIDDLE,…. WHILE TRYING TO COPY CAMPBELL’S SONGS, AS RECREATION FOR HIM,…. MY DAD WAS A HUGE FAN,…. AND HE PASSED IN 2002,…… SO WHEN BY CHANCE ME AND MY MOM SAW THAT GLEN WAS PLAYING,……. WE HAD IT IN OUR MINDS TO GO,… BUT IT WAS LUCK THAT I RE-MERNTIONED IT, THEN WE GOT FRONT ROW ‘TRICKETS ON STUB HUB,…… I REALLY, TRULY, AS A LONG TIME CONCERT GOER,APPRECIATE WHAT ISAW LAST NIGHT,… GLEN CAMPBELL WAS THE FIRST CONCERT I EVER SAW AT AGE 9 AT BELMONT PARK RACE TRACK IN NY IN 1976, OR WAS IT 75,..

From Wikipedia — “Gentle On My Mind” — “Campbell’s hit recording has an interesting history of its own. Campbell had heard Hartford’s original version on the radio and decided at once that he wanted to record it. At the time, Campbell was under contract with Capitol Records as a solo artist but had little success in establishing a name for himself in the public eye. Campbell gathered some of his fellow session players from the famous ‘Wrecking Crew’ gang (one of which being Leon Russell who was later listed as the producer of the album by the same name) to come into the Capitol studio to record a demo version that he could pitch to his producer. Between phrases and stanzas, Campbell would yell instructions to the players. He then left the rough recording for his producer to listen to. His producer fell in love, not only with the song, but with the recording itself. Without telling Campbell, he took the tape back into the studio and removed the unwanted verbiage from between the phrases. He then released the demo recording, which became a mega-hit for Campbell when it was released a second time in the wake of ‘By the Time I Get to Phoenix.’”
I wonder if the original recording still exists??? I would absolutely love to hear it!!!
Jim Evans
Thanks Carol for the good history lesson. I too have been a long-time fan and follower.
I agree that the original recording would be great to hear or have. I saw him last Sunday in Pittsburgh and loved eveery minute. In 1975 I saw him at Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh. There certainly are changes with Glen now but so are there with us too. I hope I can see him again when he returns to the East later this summer., As Glen was walking off the stage at the end of the show (with help) he said “I hope we can do this again next year” Did he say that when you saw him recently? Did he talk and joke about his hurt left knee?
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_YUA5HK7RYMOEV4LJ7Z3OGAOMYA Carol
No — looks like he recently hurt his knee. Saw him back in Oct 2011 at the Club Nokia — downtown Los Angeles, then in Feb 2012 at the Pala Casino in Temecula — and he did not mention a knee problem — or that he would like to do it again next year. But, I’m also going to see him at the Hollywood Bowl on June 24 — so, we’ll see what he has to say then. It’s a much bigger venue with Jackson Browne and Kris Kristofferson (and others) heading up the first half tribute to Glen — then Glen doing the 2nd half….can’t wait!!
Dickstrauch
Perhaps you’ve seen it – but Campbell’s “Goodtimes” DVD features a duet with Hartford who does most of the sining of “Gentle..” one of many gems on that collection.
LisaN
Glen, family and band, thank you for a “memorable” performance and giving me “A Better Place” to be last evening in Red Bank. The performance was filled with your great voice and amazing licks, but also laughs, tears and admiration for you and your beautiful children. Your children’s love and support is obvious, as well as the talent they have learned and been gifted from you, a legend. I have no doubt we will be seeing more of them. Thank you for your music, humility and courage.
Jim
Hi Lisa, I saw him last Sunday in Pittsburgh and loved every minute. In 1975 I saw him at Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh. There certainly are changes with Glen now but so are there with us too.

Phyllis
I want to thank Glen and his family and his friend of 35 years for sharing their talent with us in Red Bank last night. Beyond Glen’s beautiful voice and his amazing guitar, the love for Glen that was so evident on stage was incredibly wonderful to witness. I wish I could have brought the whole world to the Count Basie theater to see it with me. God Bless you all. It was a special night.
Tomcatz52
Just saw his Red Bank concert. It was absolutely the best! It was sold out, and he can still sing great! Bravo Glen and family!!!!!!!
Jg50cnj1
I was front row center with my mom, It was nice to see him, and his family play. He is such a nice man. They did hbave some technical difficulties though,… not sure what happened, if it was the Count Basie Theatre, or the roadies. Glen is still a STAR and he sang great.
joanne
Iwas front row and got to shake his hand . what a great show . I will never forget it God bless glen and his family
We were a part of music history with Glen Campbell at the Paramout Theater in Peekskill NY. You still got it Glen!

Great show in Peekskill, NY tonight !!

Going to see him tomorrow night in Red Bank, NJ. Absolutely can’t wait!
Rc Newton
Look forward to seeing u again, this time in Santa Rosa!! It will be great as always!

Great job in Albany, Glen!!
Silverandgold
Just saw Albany, NY show. Do not miss this show if he comes to your town. Emotional, musically satisfying, brought tear to my eye. Wichita lineman brought the crowd to it’s feet. His guitar playing will make you shake your head in awe and his performance will warm your soul. His children back him up in the band, and very enjoyable to see as well. Goodbye Glen and thank you. David.
Davindu
Thanks for the Albany show, a sheer delight. Awesome band too!

I have always enjoyed Glen Campbell and his music. He still is a Great singer. Is he going to be in Okla. City?

I was so happy to see the Bergen PAC show last evening, Glen can still play and his voice is pretty darn good for 76!! His kids are very humble and terrific with him. I look forward to seeing him again in LA.
Rfranco469
Saw him last night in NJ.Great Show!!! the voice is still there!
Rbejgrowicz
Glen Campbell still has it. Seen him at Bergen PAC and it was a great show.
Jim Evans
I saw the Glen Campbell show in Pittsburgh on May 20 – fantastic! I also saw him in Pittsburgh in 1975 – quite different then BUT he is still great! Does anyone know the model of the Ovation guitar Glen played during his duet with his daughter when they played Dualing Banjos?
RuthM
I’ve been fortunate to see Glen Campbell live in concert a total of 6 times thru the years! The first 5 shows were in the 70′s, and the final time was in Tucson in Feb. 2012, during his Goodbye Tour. No, his show is not the same, but I agree 100% that he is still great! It is not the “polished” performance & “production” of his shows from the 70′s, but he is so genuine as he just sings and plays his songs. The whole show seems more real, and in that way is even better than earlier in his career! I love the way he interacts with the audience. The way I feel, Glen and his show have matured with age, and so have his audiences. Back in the 60′s & 70′s I was a star-struck teenager with a huge crush on him. Now, I’m a more mature (hopefully) woman who still cares about him as a person, and I wish him all the best as he continues to share his God-given talent with his fans. At his concert, you could feel the love and support coming from the audience. It was a wonderful experience, and I urge anyone who possibly can to see him on his Goodbye Tour! My thoughts and prayers are with you Glen!
Ksd
We were told NO FLASH only. Then some crazy lady came and started busting everybody cuz sum peeps were using their flashes!!! One guy was doing a beautiful chalk of Glen in pastels and she grabbed it and ripped it up into a million pieces and made him eat every one….. I was never bothered because I dont use a flash or hold the camera up…so i get a few ears and noses…sum of them are uppity…others taste great with catsup. Glad you like my work….next up ALICE COOPER, CSN, SANTANA, STEVE MILLER, JAMES TAYLOR, HEART, STEPPINWOLF, JACKSON BROWNE and ROD STEWART/STEVIE NICKS.
Vlrschaf
If you haven’t experience the magic of Glen, time is running out! Don’t miss out on this musical treasure we have been so blessed with, all these years. God bless Glen and his family. With love and gratitude.
Idouttit61
The Pittsburgh show was wonderful!!! Loved every song. My daughter enjoyed the show, too. In fact she enjoyed it so much, she was the young lady that stood up during “Rhinestone Cowboy,” when the audience was supposed to sing. Mr. Campbell was very gracious and even applauded her efforts.
I hope Mr. Campbell and his son Shannon’s knees will get better soon.
WJONE72507
What a show!!!!
AppalachianGal
Fantastic night in Pittsburgh. I wish I could follow the tour and see this show again and again.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! My husband & I saw Glen in Feb. 2012 in Tucson, AZ. They were so strict about cameras of any kind. They told us we only had 1 warning, then we’d be escorted out! We weren’t even able to get 1 whole song, “Gentle on My Mind.”
They told us it was “Glen’s” rule, not the theater’s. I wish I could find out the truth about this. If he honestly does not want to be filmed, (maybe because of his alzheimer’s?) he should tell the audience himself, or have one of his children make the request. I’m sure any fan would respect his wishes. I just have a hard time believing that he really cares himself. And it sure has been wonderful to “relive” that evening here on You Tube! I don’t believe it is harming him (or any other artists, for that matter). If anything, it is helping promote his live tour. It was watching You Tube videos that made me really want to see him perform live one last time! We live in Co., so we flew to Tuscon from Denver. Thank you again for your uploads. Were you in the first row?
Ksd
We were sitting in the 1st row just behind the 2 pit rows. Thanks for ur comments here and youtube (if u left any there). I shoot many concerts as a way to re-live the event. Pleas check out my Moody Blues and others from America to Alice Cooper!!! …..and I will be putting up last weeks Gordon Lightfoot in Greensburg Pa. ASAP.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_YUA5HK7RYMOEV4LJ7Z3OGAOMYA Carol
Thank you Ksd for sharing your videos of Glen — they were awesome. His guitar playing and singing is amazing — I almost felt like I was there too!
RuthM
I’m still curious about one thing. On your uploads you made the comment that you recorded some of the songs “under cover”, because of “security.” So technically you were told not to record? If so, I’m still wondering if it is Glen Campbell’s personal request, or if the venue makes the rules.
In regards to your other uploads, I already noticed a couple of your Moody Blues videos, and passed the info. on to my brother in Ohio – a huge Moody Blues fan. I look forward to seeing your Gordon Lightfoot videos too.
I’m not “registered” to rate or leave comments on You Tube; don’t quite know how to go about signing up, so that’s why I posted my comments here. (It was your comment and link on this site that lead me to your You Tube uploads. Thanks again for sharing!
http://www.facebook.com/mike.roy Mike Roy
I enjoy watching the videos people are posting. I highly and sadly doubt he’ll visit Canada again. I love watching all these clips. I’ve seen some amazing ones and some that are just sad to watch. Nature of the disease I guess. His past 2 nights have been AMAZING to watch. He’s got all his chops going. Curious about the “accident” story about his knee though. The venues are “evil” and will always say its the “performers” request just so they don’t get the guff of it. People have been tapping Glen’s shows for YouTube for a few years now and I’ve yet to see him pull an Axl Rose on anyone (lol). To hell with venue nazi’s and let’s keep giving Glen some free publicity and some more magical videos through his “Goodbye Tour”. I saw opening night in Toronto last year and someone filmed that WHOLE show. Someone also filmed the entire Reno, NV show AND on VIMEO there’s PROSHOT footage of the Club Nokia Gig (first 21 mins). So I HIGHLY doubt Glen’s bitching about filming. Venues will never change. Oh well. Keep ‘em coming I also enjoyed his “short” version of Wichita Lineman. 1 Verse and straight to the solo that HE NAILED PERFECTLY!! Let God keep giving him the strength to continue playing. So far, so good.
Kathleen
Not sure why no pics, saw him tonight at American Music Theater in Lancaster and were allowed to take pictures, no flash. This has always been AMT rule. I have always taken pictures at their events.
So I am sure it was not “Glens rule”. Every artist and every theater makes their own rules. But I am sure the people who insist on using flash despite being told not too, ruin it for everyone. Maybe this had been a big issue at previous shows at the theater you were at?
Great show tonight! Love ya Glen

Sandra & Danny Brewer
We also just returned from the Paducah Concert. It was great but also sad to see such a Musician/Singer come to the end. We are glad that we went. He did miss some words but the man can still rip the guitar, either my hat is off to him for a great show. We thank you Mr. Campbell!!!
Leash Litter
Just saw the show in Paducah KY….it was amazing. If you are in any way a Glen Campbell fan you need to try to see this show. He is delightful and for a few conflicting moments here and there, he played the guitar as well as his younger days and delivered a wonderful performance. Big highlight is when he and his daughter perform the dueling banjo / guitar…It was a big wow moment that she has only been playing 4 years and is so good – and he is 76 and didn’t miss a beat! Pay for the good seats – sit close and watch a legend perform as he says his final goodbye to his fans! P.S. 3 of his kids are in his band and the adoration they have for their father is clearly on all their faces. His son said it best…here is a man on stage battling difficult times and he is kicking butt over those who have no problems at all…So true Cal!
so many dates including Australia, but still nothing in Canada :’( so sad. We always get left out by everyone. I couldn’t believe the UK got a mini-tour.

Hi Glenn Campbell,
For many years I remember a special night at the Bordentown Bowling Alley where you were performing in the bar there. It was just you and me and we talked and just laughed. You told me that you were going to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show in the next week or two. I told you then, you were on your way and you did. It was a special meeting that ngiht and I never forgot it. God keep you safe and well. The Bordentown Bowling Alley was in New Jersey.

Wtempinski
I’m 52 and have always loved Glen! I’m not a big country fan, yet I appreciate talent wherever I hear it.
Glen is a superb guitarist, singer, and all-around entertainer!
I was so very saddened to hear the news of his dementia. I only hope that he realizes how many folks truly love him and his music.
Best wishes,

I’ve been waiting to see Glen Campbell and hoping he would perform in London, please can anyone tel me if this is likely to happen or where I would need to travel to in order to see him perform?
Tim
He did a pretty substantial UK tour earlier in the year. Most likely he won’t be back now.
enough of this dribble. glen is not a senile lump of clay. lets get back to commenting on the MAN.
Jeff
In several medical journals it is documented that keeping busy is healthy for Alzheimers patients. Better than just keeping busy exercise, playing music, socializing and humor are the best therapies of all. Glen is fortunate in that his career is in music. The area of the brain where this function (music) comes froM is the temporal lobe within the cerebral cortex. The Thalamus is also believed to be involved. Activity in this areas of the brain stimulates cell growth, maintains healthy neuron activity and maintains mental elasticity. Resting quietly advances the disease. I would consider this tour therapeutic for the entire family but especially for Glen.
kev
Is there actually a moron out there in the world that believes something they read in The Enquirer?????? Mrs. Campbell has been with Glen since the early 80′s and they have beem through alot together. If you could actually see them up close, you would see a family FULL of Love! His children are some of the nicest folks in the industry as is his wife. Unless you actually have FACTS, you should keep your moronic opinion to yourself! And even if you actually did have facts, its NONE of your buisness!
Susu
OK KEV,.,,,if this family is so full of love, what happened to Debby??? THINK about it….
fanofglen
Agree 100% Tom.

2 shows in New Zealand :’(, a full tour of the UK but only 2 Canadian dates from the begging of the tour as a warm-up…. blah, that sucks. So many people up here would love to see him. How annoying. Its not easy for everyone to packup and visit the USA for 1 show. :’( very sad.

I know — but there’s usually a kernel of truth in these kinds of stories– just look at the John Edwards story…and how that all panned out……….
Simkatu
Who cares about Debby Campbell? If Debby Campbell went on tour without her father she wouldn’t fill up a bar full of people even if they paid people to come. Glen is not retarded. If he wanted Debby with him on this tour, she’d be there. He doesn’t, so she isn’t.
Debby toured with her Dad for almost 20 years. She has a loyal following among many Glen Campbell fans and is a class act. I’m sure far more people would pay to see Debby perform than listen to your Internet badmouthing of a fine lady.
Susu
OMG !!! Glen has NOTHING to say about anything about this tour!! Obviously YOU havent figured that out yet!!! Debby is a class act who always took care of and protected her fathers best interests…cant say the same for others.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_YUA5HK7RYMOEV4LJ7Z3OGAOMYA Carol
Ok thx — I’ll check it out — sounds pretty sad — huh?
Simkatu
No it’s not sad. What’s sad is that Glen has Alzheimer’s. I’m not saddened about Debbie’s fate. She is healthy and wealthy living off her father’s fortune and she’ll be able to for a long time. Nothing to be sad about.
Simatku: Debby is NOT wealthy and living off her father’s fortune. She is a self made person with her own career which was established even before she ever performed with her father. Stop posting up nonsense, you have no idea what you are talking about.
Susu
FYI..Debbie has another job, and always has, she is NOT living off her fathers fortune, never has. YOU have never met her or Glen or have seen them perform together, or else you wouldnt be making such ignorant comments.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_YUA5HK7RYMOEV4LJ7Z3OGAOMYA Carol
Susu — Do you know if it was Debby’s decision not to be on the Good-Bye Tour or someone else’s decision? I miss seeing her on the tour — I saw her with her dad a few years back at the Cerritos Perf. Arts Center in Calif. I hope it was her choice — I wish her well and wish she was still on the tour.
Susu

Debby and the band were forced out to make way for Instant People.

Attended the Godbye tour tonight at Penns Peak in Jim Thorpe PA. What a great show. His daughter really keeps a close eye on him while on stage. It’s really sad to know that his performing days are coming to an end. Glad I got to see him.
Pauljflint
My wife and I attended the show last night in Ames Iowa. Wow! To witness his great guitar skills in person was an incredible memory we’ll have forever. I would see this show again in a minute and would encourage anyone to go. To see him with 3 of his children also on stage was a treat. Of course he sang the usual hits, but I definitely will buy the new cd. Good new songs!

My favorite song has always been, He Ain’t Heavy, He’s my brother. I downloaded it to my new iPad 3

+Last year when I discovered we missed Glen at Black Bear Casino I thought he was gone from the area for good. I then saw in the paper he was coming to Mystic Lake Casino so my wife & I both took the day off to go see him. Still has the voice & certainly has those marvelous guitar skills. He had his moments when his kids helped him out; he then joked about getting old! I thought it endeared him to us even more. He will always be my Wichita Lineman. Be at peace, Glen. We’ll miss you.

Fabulous, memorable and heartfelt show that I had the privelege of attending last night at Mystic Lake Casino in Minnesota. I left with tears in my eyes and a great feeling in my heart that I was able to see him play live. Very courageous!

What a tremendous concert. Watching you on stage brought back memories of my mom and myself at Wisconsin State Fair the summer 1970. She made me at age sit through 2 shows. And I was so proud to be with my mother, and tonight she couldn’t make it. The love that the kids have for their dad was unbelievable. Glen, you are truly a gift! Thank you for making me slow down and enjoy wonderful memories.
FSUHUSKER
I am 47, and as a little kid I remember watching the Goodtime Hour on TV. I grew fake side burns in an effort to be like Glen Campbell. It was the honor of my family to recently attend the Goodbye Tour in Florida’s Silver Springs. For us, it was an emotional show which we will forever cherish. Everyone in attendance wanted to be there, and appreciated every note from the Rhinestone Cowboy. My 11 year old daughter finds Southern Nights as her favorite as she currently take guitar lessons. She did take quite a liking to Little One, as did I, performed by Glen’s children, who he must be extremely proud of. God Bless you Glen and thank you for all the memories. We look forward to following Instant People in the upcoming years and will always think of you. God Bless You and your family Glen! Glad you are doing fine!

Thanks is hardly enough, but it’s what we have to offer. ST

I saw Glen in Jacksonville FL on May 25, all’s I can say is WOW!! The voice, the music, the guitar playing were all fantastic. The crowd was so energetic, they really showed the true love they have for such a legendary entertainer. I really hope I can catch him again on this final tour.
Krys

What happened to the original Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour website discussion page?

How come no dates in Canada?
http://www.facebook.com/mike.roy Mike Roy
i feel the same way. i wish he’d visit us in canada again.

Check out “Glen Campbell Ghost on the Canvas” on Wikipedia — it lists all the dates of his Good Bye tour — past, present and future — it’ll show you where he’s already been — including Canada

Great show in Tulsa…wish I knew he was staying downtown, brought my Martin for an autograph…spent 3-4 hours sitting next to Glen on a flight out of Phoenix a few yearws ago, what a nice man, he talked about his career, good and bad, honest and sincere. Wish the best for him to continue singing from the heart.
RuthM
What a cool memory! Always wanted to meet him, but never had the chance.
BH
Dang, both Birchmere shows are sold out. I hope he comes back to the DC area (or Leesburg, Va)!
okiedude
Great show in Tulsa. Tears were rolling down my cheek at at the start with Gentle on my Mind, and more tears came with A Better Place, the closing song and my favorite song on the new album. To top the night off we ran into the band at the bar in the Hyatt downtown, we were all staying there last night and got to chat for a few minutes and get our tickets autographed. Wonderful to see this music legend.
MelanieS32
What an AWESOME Concert in Tulsa Glen! You did an amazing Job! Was great to see your kids ALL supporting you and being in the band. Was great to also see they have their own album. They Rock!

I am 51 years old and I grew up listening to Glen Campbell so I drove from Fort Lauderdale to see him and I thought he was fantastic . He still sings and and plays with all of his heart and his children are all amazingly talented …….. I wouldnt have missed this show for anything ………WE LOVE YOU GLEN !!!

We saw Glen in January, in Bloomington Illinois; and we have great seats to see him again on May 18th, in Paducah, Ky.
Carrieann
“Mornin’ Glory” written by Bobbie Gentry and sung by Bobbie and Glen is such a sweet, sexy song.

Please come to Atlanta! The Fox Theater would be an idea!
Drema and Halie Sutphin
My granddaughter and I saw Glen Campbell on Saturday in Ocala, Florida. The show was fabulous! Glen still sings and plays the guitar fabulously! I am so glad I was there. My granddaughter is six years old and she absolutely loved “Instant People”, especially Ashley! It was a great trip for all. I wish Glen and his family the very best in the future. Our prayers are with you.
Thanks.

We traveled from Fort Myers to Silver Springs for a terrific concert in my opinion.Some lyrics may escape him, however, his guitar playing was perfection. Chet Atkins once said he was the finest guitar player he ever saw. There could be no greater praise than that. We pray for him and his family and the journey ahead.
Buzz St John
We had the honor to see Glen last night in Jacksonville. He was spectacular and very special. I am sitting here thinking…how do you thank someone for forty plus years of adding so much enjoyment to our lives? God bless you Glen Campbell..and THANK YOU.
Lee Bendgen
Saw Glen in Jacksonville, Florida last night and he was great. Couldn’t get his autograph before or after the show but I managed to get to him just about an hour ago when they all took off for MS this morning. Glen was very very nice.
RuthM
You are so fortunate!
Tracey
My daughter and I just saw him tonight in Jacksonville, FL. He was fantastic. His voice is amazing and he can still dance those fingers across the strings. His sense of humor covered small challenges. Def worth the ticket price.
JJim
I saw Glen last night in Melbourne, FL, & I have to say that the Man was spot on! Except for some minor hiccups here & there Glen played the Guitar perfectly with no errors. After “Dueling Banjo’s with Daughter Ashley, Glen left the stage & Instant people performed a very new song written by Ashley with her Brother Shannon for the very first time anywhere & I loved it!! Only disappointing thing was I was unable to meet Glen or any of the band members for pictures or autogrpahs. Here are some of the songs that were played:
Gentle on my Mind
By the time I get to Phoenix
Galveston
Where’s the playground Susie
Rhinestone Cowboy
Southern Nights
The Moons A harsh Mistress
Didn’t We
Dueling Banjos
Lovesick Blues
Whichita Lineman
Country Boy
A better place
Judy
I was lucky to get to see Glen twice this week, in Clearwater in a small setting; and Silver Springs outdoors with lots of fans. He sounds better than ever. I cried just knowing it’s probably the last show I will see. Glen has given me many memories over the past 40 some years. Thanks for the kindness you show. Your kids are kind just like their dad. I wish you good health as you have the courage and strength to continue to tour. Thanks Glen
Judy
Glen at Silver Springs FL
Maryweinkein
Glen’s voice is as amazing as it was in the 1960′s. That is beyond rare
Penny
Any other tour dates coming to MN – I missed getting tickets for the 4/13 concert in Prior Lake, MN? (and can’t afford the secondary tickets)
Tim
Penny, they are constantly adding new shows to the tour calendar. I would check back often and hope for the best that another one comes through there.
Penny
Thanks Tim for letting me know
Catlover
I saw Glen at the Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso, NM. He put on a great show. And to my surprise as I was waiting in the lobby the next morning there he was. He was so gracious. Talked to me and even gave me a big hug. What a treat to not only to get to see his concert but to meet him too. This is a picture of him and me. My camera was in the car so had someone take it with my cell phone. I wish I could see him again
http://www.facebook.com/mike.roy Mike Roy
thats awesome!! great success!!
RuthM
Great comment! How can some people be so fortunate? I’ve wanted to meet Glen Campbell since the late 60s early 70s, when I had a huge crush on him!
My husband and I flew from Denver to Tucson to see his show there, and it was wonderful! I took a letter I had written to him and a lapel pin, and I was able to give them to his daughter, Ashley, after Instant People’s opening act. That’s as close as I got!
http://twitter.com/Thomas_Bird67 Thomas Bird
Question for those of you lucky enough to have seen his shows: Is he still playing that lovely lead solo on the song “Galveston?”
Tim
He sure does!
Mackdown
Awesome! I’m so jealous I wish I was stateside now and could see him. Thats one of my all-time favorite guitar solos right up there with anything Clapton has done.
Jonfender
Yes he is (on a Danelectro 6-string bass which is what is used on the record). His son played it tho’ when I saw Glen in Melbourne last night (letter perfect…..then some) !
DC
Any chance for another show in the San Diego area, like say with the Summer Pops?
http://www.facebook.com/BigDawgSD James Alan Jones
Saw Glen and family here recently at the Pala Resort ( Near San Diego )…It was a great show. And along with all my favorites he did ” The moon is a harsh mistress ” which is my all time favorite Glen Campbell song and he was amazing…
Ksd
I have 2 extra tickets at cost in row J for the Pittsburgh show. ksd@email.com
http://www.facebook.com/mike.roy Mike Roy
so many more dates WOW. I’m so glad to see him continue on like a trooper!! Gives even more chances for people to say “Goodbye” to him. But I’d love to have something in Canada. In these horrible “money” times for everyone, I can’t just drive 5-7 hours to go to a show PLUS a hotel room. When he played Toronto, it packed up hours before the show…. ITS A SIGN. CANADA LOVES Glen. Ottawa & Montreal have fantastic venues that I’m sure would LOVE to have you play im them. PLZ consider us
Amy
Okay, finally booked in my area! (San Francisco) Got my tix for Santa Rosa (nearby SF). I have been a fan of Glen since I was 6. I will be 49 on April 22. That’s right, April 22, same Bday as Glen! I have been sending him Birthday buddy greetings for years and this will be the 3rd concert I’ve attended. I had front row seats the last time I saw him in Napa. My 5 year old son and 10 year old daughter were with me and Glen would smile and nod at us quite a bit. I think my kids were the only little ones there. And they were enthralled, in fact they are now fans too and going to this last concert. Both the kids have wanted to learn guitar since seeing Glen in Napa. Now my girl plays guitar and my son can play harmonica, bass and is learning trumpet.
I have never asked for an autograph or even met Glen, but I am really hoping I get a chance to meet him this time to say thank you for his gifts and inspiration and have my kids meet him too. I feel such a special connection with him because of our mutual birthday. If we can’t meet I would at least love to hear him play one of my favorite songs in at the Santa Rosa concert… “Highway Man” and/or “The Moon’s A Harsh Mistress”.
Karen
You are so lucky to be going. I would just love an email from him. I know i can’t ever meet him but damn an email would be awesome. I watched Glen on the Smothers Brothers he was so awesome then and now. I love hearing him talk. I love that man.
RuthM
I hear you! A lot of us grew up “in love” with Glen Campbell. Read my other comments (posted under Tour and Discography.) They tell my “Glen Campbell Story.” I’ve wanted to meet him since my teenage crush on him in the late 60s early 70s.
RuthM
That’s a great story. Good luck; I hope you do get to meet him!
He does sing “The Moon’s a Harsh Mistress,” with his keyboard player as the only accompaniment. Simply beautiful!
Hope you have a wonderful time. (You will!)
Kawika
Just came home from watching Glen Campbell and Co. perform at the Capitol Theatre in Clearwater Fl. It was one fantastic evening. Though he is suffering from dementia, his children supported him through the few times he missed a lyric or notes on guitar. None the less, he is still a true performer through and through. I have been a fan for over 45 years thanks to Mom and it was the first and unfortunately last time I will see him perform. From a studio musician to a legend, his farewell tour is a must see.
http://twitter.com/Thomas_Bird67 Thomas Bird
Wow just awesome. I live in SE Asia so I sadly can’t see him. Do you know what guitar was he playing? He usually plays a Strat or a Gretch.
RW
I worked with him for 5 years he NEVER used anything but Ovations in fact I was there when they brought the new thin-line acoustic with EQ in I believe 1982. He had an Ovation Blue Bird and a Deacon 12 string which I currently own it was given to me by Glen. His all time favorite is a Mosrite Guitar, he traded a person in the Audience for one of his Ovation Bluebirds I had the other one but it was sold. Now did Glen use a Strat or Gretch I have seen him use a strat on a show or video but in the 5 years I was with him he never used a strat or Gretch. I also have one of the Black Ovations he plays on the VH1 special I have the sister to that. Anyway I hope this is what you wanted to know and probable more than you really wanted to know. I am very sad and was surprised when I heard he was having some health problems. He was one of the Best people I EVER worked with and he was ALWAYS respectful to the band and crew.

Glen Campbell should be inducted into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME. This man was the Beach Boys guitarist and has played on some of the most famous rock records of all time. Its about time Glen Campbell got his due not just as a great country artist but an amazing, kick ass ROCK guitarist as well. We love you Glen!
Karen
ha, what songs wouldn’t you want Glen to sing. We love ya Glen Rhinestone Cowboy. Southern Nights, AWW Glen it is so hard to decide what songs i would love to hear, maybe i will go turn on my CD’s and listen to you now. Oh, i live in Hawaii so that is ok, i love you anyway.
Karen
http://twitter.com/Thomas_Bird67 Thomas Bird
Fun, Fun, Fun (Beach Boys); Viva Las Vegas (Elvis); Mr. Tambourine Man (The Byrds); You Just May Be The One (The Monkees) would be great songs to hear him play as well considering he was the guitar player on all of those songs in the studio when they were recorded.
Karen
Fun FUN FUN was one of my fav from the beach boys, loved that thing, Isn’t he incredible? Just love him
http://twitter.com/Thomas_Bird67 Thomas Bird
Its a great song. Glen Campbell was actually Brian Wilson’s hand-picked guitarist on almost all of the Beach Boys records. Glen had a massive influence on the recording of Pet Sounds which is regarded as the Beatles inspiration for Sgt. Peppers and one of the most influential rock records of all time. As a guitar player myself he is one of my heroes. Why Glen is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is shocking.
Ksd
RRHOF is run by a misfits Jann Wenner, Suzan Evans, et al… When bands like Heart, The Moody blues, Rush, Deep Purple, ELO, YesGlen is a HOF’er and hopefully he will get in…maybe we can trade him for run dmc…
http://twitter.com/Thomas_Bird67 Thomas Bird
I couldn’t agree with you more. Jann Wenner is an asshole. Incredibly, neither the Cure or the Pixies are in the RR HOF but Grand Master P and the Beastie Boys (best known for a beer guzzling frat party tune) are. He also won’t allow the Monkees in who sold 65 million records and revolutionized music video because they didn’t play their own instruments on their first two records. Nevermind the fact nearly every popular act at that time was using the incredibly talented musicians of the Wrecking Crew which included the great Glen Campbell!
Msparshu
How can all of us make a website and request he be inducted into the Hall of Fame
I’m shocked to hear he isn’t already.
Glen was Elvis’ favorite singer. FYI

Interesting you bring up Run DMC. One of their biggest hits was “Mary Mary Why Ya Buggin”, which was a remix of the Monkees tune “Mary Mary” written by Mike Nesmith. Guess who did the famous guitar intro to the song which Run DMC used in their version as well? GLEN CAMPBELL who seems to have done the guitar work a whole slew of artists currently in the Rock Hall of Fame. Glen Campbell and nearly every member of the Wrecking Crew deserve to be in the RR HOF period.
Juliegoudie
Any dates scheduled for TEXAS?? We would love to see and hear you and your kids together! Julie and Tom, Houston
LukeBrimhall
I’m 19 yrs. old and will be at the concert on May 18 in Paducah, KY. i would love to hear Mr. Campbell sing “Amazing Grace” and play the bagpipes!! also “Crying” by Roy Orbison from his “Gentle On My Mind” album is a good one also.
http://twitter.com/Thomas_Bird67 Thomas Bird
Some Beach Boys songs would be great too considering he was there guitar player.
RuthM
I agree with you. Unfortunately he doesn’t sing either of those songs on his Goodbye Tour. In the early 70′s I was fortunate to attend a concert where he did perform “Amazing Grace,” bagpipes and all. Now your best bet is YouTube. The next best thing to a live performance; you can find both of these songs uploaded. My favorite of “Jesus and Me” was taped at his church in Phoenix on New Year’s Eve, 1989 I believe. It was before he had redorded that song. Awsome!
You may be interested in reading my comment on this website, posted under Discography, regarding his final cd “Ghost on the Canvas.” The songs, music, and guitar are beautiful, but I was disappointed that the words are somewhat ambiguous. I was hoping for a final Christian witness from Glen Campbell, especially considering how the Lord has worked in his life. Have you read his autobiography, “Rhinestone Cowboy?”
In any case, he ends his concert with “A Better Place.” As a Christian, I interpret it to mean heaven.
Have a wonderful time on May 18!
Omajan88
Come on Glen! My birthday is in July,….a biggie….65,,,,,,,been a fan since the early days, met you so many times…..(Lucky me)…….hopefully, Shippensburg, Pa or Atlantic City? Saw you in Huntington……but want MORE! Thanks for doing this for your fans Glen, you are the consumate entertainer and a true faithful soul to your fans. God Bless you.

Glen, by the time your website added your Alexandria, VA dates to the schedule, the shows were both sold out! I was devastated! I hope you add some more shows in the mid-Atlantic region.

please come to Toronto. Never had the chance to see you in concert but I grew up listening to your music on the radio. Trying to expose my young girls to what REAL music is. Would love to go with my kids and my parents to your show…3 generations. You must see that a lot. Your music is timeless. Stay strong Glen!

Saw you in Lake Tahoe in the 70′s when your show celebated your parent’s golden anniversary. It was a wonderful show. Would love to see you again – please come to Denver!
Margaret
Wishing and hoping that you’ll sing, “Nothing But The Whole Wide World” when you play at Stephens Auditorium in Ames, IA next month. It’s one of the best songs on your new album, and you bring it to life with your incredible voice, Glen. Can’t wait to see you and your family perform again! Have the time of your life on tour!
Have known Glen since 1966- Glen can do no wrong! He has a great sense for great music and how to do it. He sings great and plays great. How can ya top that? Just an exceptional artist.
Articcat442000
glenn……i dont know glenn .but you sure seem like your someone that it would be a joy to hang around……i’m 51 and i remember sitting in our living room watching the good time hour……..with such greats on your show…….not only did you have a great show…….but you were on alot of great shows…..i rarely show my emotions….but your recent cd and other songs bring back some powerful emotions of the good ol days!…..your a wonderful class act that will never be matched……have fun on your tour!

I thought when I bought my tickets for French Lick in December, there were only a few dates left on the schedule. He keeps adding dates, Carry on Glen!

Here is a video of a little known gospel song that was written by Glen Campbell in the early 1970′s.
“One Pair of Hands” was written by M. Curtis and B. Campbell – not Glen – - it’s on his “Oh Happy Day” album – check it out on Wikipedia
Steve Galli – Michigan
Two nights in Detroit ! WOO HOO…

I had heard that the tour was to end in March. Not according the concert dates. Has anybody else heard about it ending in March?
Scotty B
Was lucky enough to see Glen at the concert in Shelton. The house was packed and his guitar playing was AMAZING! He’s still got it, people. I grew up watching him and listening to his music, and it brought back many memories from a more innocent time of my life. Very special night that I was able to share with my wife. And I picked up a sweet Glen Campbell t-shirt to boot!
Dickstrauch
Please seriously consider adding Boise, Idaho to your itinerary.
Dickstrauch
I drove from Boise, rendezvoused with my son from Portland, to see Glen’s concert in Spokane Saturday night. Spectacular evening! I heard the word “legend” over and over that evening, and well deserved. “Dueling Banjos” (with his beautiful daughter, Ashley) was a special delight. His talented family was well represented — hopefully they will one day carry on the family act! Thank, you Glen, for a most memorable evening. Keep up the great work — you are an inspiration!
Joe
Drove from Portland to see you in Shelton WA last week.
When you walked on that stage, you and I were young again, the world was a better place, and we were back at the Festival Hall.
I lived in the UK then, worked in touring and music much of my life, and am now seeing all the great artists one more time.
I didn’t see the passage of time, I didn’t notice the affects of the condition, I saw a man, talented beyond all reason, sharing his music and love with us one more time. A beautiful show, thank you for your music, courage and inspiration.
Thanks Glen, safe journey.
Carrieann
When are the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour episodes going to be on DVD? — Completely uncut !!
Scott Stewart
Please lease consider playing a concert in Nashville or Memphis.We still love you here and would like to see you.I myself was to young back in your day but,that hasn’t stopped me from liking your music.Good luck and be well
Helen
The Little Creek show was a delightful gift in every way. Thanks for that. I hope you continue to record music. I will look forward to it.
Tom Vroman
Please consider adding 2-3 concerts in New Jersey before your tour ends at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ or at the Garden State Arts Center (PNC Bank Arts Center) in Holmdel, NJ, where you previously recorded your Glen Campbell Live album back on 7/4/1969. Your fans love your country music very much and wish the best of health for you and your family. God bless you Glen Campbell. Please stay well.
Colsim
Had a great time last night at his concert in Spokane! He’s was great and even though sometime his lyrics were not in line he sure can play that guitar! His attitude and spontaneity were fabulous! Kudos to his children and his good friend that has been with him for over 30 years to help him along! It was great to see him and wish him well
Contentgal
Thoroughly enjoyed Glen Campbell and his family on the Goodbye Tour in Spokane. He still has his wonderful voice, great looks, and it was a great pleasure to see him again. He is a courageous man to go on tour at this point in his life and I so much thank him for sharing his music one last time with me. A definite “go see” show. God bless you Glen Campbell!
Marcy Rugland
Got the chance to see Glen in Shelton Friday night. Incredible! He was gracious enough to sign my GC Greatest Hits 8-track (which is now the way-coolest thing I own)! He said that Kenny Rogers took the picture of him that’s on the cover and never got paid for it. I wonder when the last time he thought of that story was? That this brought back a memory for him that he may not have thought of in decades made me happy. I hope it made him happy to remember. Thank you so much to his bass player for takong the 8-track back to Glen for me:-)
Kathy11201
So happy Glen added Kansas City to the tour, I now have tickets for the show! This is the first show that was close enough to me to travel to!
Craig
I’ve been playing guitar since the 4th grade (that’s 37 years now), just because I watched Glen doing it on TV in the 70″s and was mesmerized.. You have brought immense joy to my life through your insperation.

Made the trip from Portland to catch Glen’s show in Shelton last night. Awsome performance by a true American Icon. God Bless You Glen!
Chuckames
FANTASTIC! My wife and I attended the show in Shelton last night. We are in our mid 30′s, Glen is and always will be timeless. A true entertainer and message of life being a journey. Thank you for sharing your talent and love!
Edie
Wow! What a show in Shelton, WA on March 2!
Glen, his beautiful daughter Ashley, two handsome sons, and three other talented band members played to a sold-out house. His music was spectacular and timeless, as always. I felt so proud of this American and his solid, supportive family. I was pleasantly surprised to learn what wonderful talent spans the whole family. Being at this show made me proud, once again, to be an American and to appreciate our musical icons. Keep on rockin’, to Glen and the entire band!
Nancy
Saw Glen last night at Shelton, WA what a SUPER show. Thanks Glen, love your singing.
Been a Fan forever
Saw Glen and his kids in Shelton,Wa. last night. Fantastic show.
Last time I saw him…it was 1974 downstairs behind the scenes as an employee at Harrahs Casino in Tahoe, he took the time to visit with an 18 year old busboy and a just as young bus girl for a while. He shook my hand ,hugged that bus girl. A REAL Gentleman and TRUE AMERICAN , GOD bless you Glen !
RuthM
What a neat memory!
An Old Glen Fan
My wife, daughter, son-in-law and I just saw Glen in Shelton WA. He can still play the guitar like the virtuoso he has always been. Three octive range is also still there. Glen, thanks for all of the years of joy you have brought us.
Weswagner
Saw Glen in Houston and it was magical.The years and any affects from his illness just melted away when he started to sing and it was the same old Witchita Lineman.What a talent ,it was a night I will always remember. Thanks Glen
Just got tix for your Pittsburgh show. So glad you are coming! Can’t wait.
Patjax
Will there be any west coat dates? I live in Vegas and would love to see Glen…
Timo
I saw Glen performing in Boston last week and I’m very happy that I managed to get there.
It was quite a long way to come from Helsinki, but definitely worth the effort.
There were tears in my eyes many times during the concert, and I wasn’t the only one. All the best for Glen and his family.

There is a rumor circulating that Glen Campbell died the same week of Whitney Houston. I am relieved to see that is not true!
I was honored with being in his Houston Audience January 13th, this year and the tour is one you do not want to miss.

Come to the San Francisco Bay Area, please. Another Tahoe/Reno gig wouldn’t be a bad idea if the Bay Area doesn’t work out, but we really want you here. I have family members who are envying me for seeing Glen in Reno last October, and I’d really love to take my family to see Glen here in the San Francisco (or even Napa/Sonoma, Oakland/Berkeley, etc.) area. He hasn’t played here in a few years and there are a lot of country and Glen Campbell fans here who would dearly love to see him.
Patnaron
Glen – You have certainly been on my mind (actually every day) . Rhinestone cowboy stays in my hesd, You seem to have a big schedule. Sorry we missed the Jackson, Ms. show. Hope all is well for you. Keep going. May GOD continue to hold you in his arns, Pat
Bev Randle
Went to the Jackson MS concert last night. What a performance!! Glen and his family are spectacular. A must see show!
Sjh1955
Attended the Jackson, MS concert and was so blessed by Glen’s performance. It is a wonderful thing that his 3 children are spending this precious time with their father and making wonderful memories with him.

Just got home from the concert in Jackson, MS. What a wonderful event. He did GREAT! If he is any where close make the trip it is highly worth it.
Carol
sure wish he’d come further south in Florida…Gd bless you Glenn…you did good…!

karen glen saw you fri. night at mohegan sun the show was AWESOME GOD Bless you
Lisa
My husband and I saw the show at the Mohegan this past Friday. This show should not be missed. I’m glad to see you can purchase merchandise on this site because there was not one item left to purchase at the end of the show. I went through his list of shows to see if there was anything close so we could see him again. Glen’s singing and guitar playing were so moving. For people with Alzheimer’s and their families, to see what someone is capable of doing with the love and support of family and friends just leaves you in awe. Ronnie Milsap was also great. He had the entire arena up and singing America The Beautiful. Events like this are a reminder of what the human race is capable of when at its best!
.
Ellieriz
Not a dry eye in the house Friday night at Mohegan Sun. Fabulous concert! God bless Glen and his beautiful family. Ronnie Milsap was also the icing on the cake – wonderful performance.
Janet
Totally Agree..fabulous concert !!!!
Andrea
We celebrated 45 years of listening to Glenn Campbell’s music Fri night at Mohegan Sun. His first hit came out the year we were married. He is truly a seasoned entertainer and gave us all a great and memorable concert. And what a guitar player!!! We loved the dueling banjo’s with his daughter. He has not lost his talent nor ability to entertain and it comes through when he in on stage. While his voice has changed he sang all his hits that brought all in the audience to their feet. His band (including his children), musical director and prodction support staff added to making the evening so special. Thank you Glenn. Be well.
Janet
Saw Glenn Campbell on Saturday night at the Mohegan Sun, the show was AWESOME…it was the best…Glenn had the audiance singing along with him…and received several standing ovation throughout the show !!! Could of listen to Glenn sing all night long ..We didn’t want him to leave…He played the guitar unbelievable…His children are a credit to him, how blessed Glenn is to have his children with him in the show. Wish I could see the show again !!! I really don’t think there is anything else that can top his show…
Margaret
Fabulous Grammy performance, Glen, and a much-deserved honor! We’re thrilled that you’re coming back to Iowa for a show! Hoping to hear you sing “Nothing But The Whole Wide World” from your latest album (Jakob Dylan), as it’s one of our very favorites. Here’s wishing you the very best, always! God bless you.
Jenny
We saw the show at Mohegan Sun with Ronnie Milsap – it was fantastic! Mr. Campbell looks great and was very entertaining, the guitar playing and singing were amazing. So glad we got to see him perform with his children and the band.
Randy
I also saw the show at the Mohegan Sun. You’re right. It was fantastic. Ronnie Milsap opening for Glen was an added bonus because their music and styles compliment each other.

Glen,
My father and I saw you in December of 1999 in Wilmington, Delaware on your Christmas & Hits tour, it was fantastic. He was a huge fan of your music, as am I. You inspired me to learn guitar, and I have been playing over thirty years. Dad and I met you after the show and you signed your book for me, which I cherish. He passed away in 2006, and I miss him dearly. He had music in him, like you. I look forward to seeing you on tour soon, and want to thank you for your music. God bless you and your family.

Sure wish your tour wasn’t ending so soon. Would’ve loved to have seen you come to the Mid-State Fair again here in Paso Robles, CA. Last time you were here was 2001, would be awesome if you could come play here this year in July. I’d buy tickets that’s for sure, and I’m sure lots of other folks would buy tickets as well. Maybe you can work something out to come to our fair one last time? Love ya Glen Campbell. Been listening to ya for years
LoveMyMom
My mom has early-onset alzheimers, and while she is not a musician, as soon as we turn on the music she stands up and starts dancing. It’s such a joy to watch! We live in Memphis. I’m going to look into taking them to the Jackson, MS show!! Thanks so much for bringing the awareness!!!

Chris from NJ
Hope that you can squeeze in a show in the NY/NJ area. Otherwise, we’ll have to consider a plane ride. With any luck, there will be an opportunity to see you live! If not, thanks for all of the great music over the years and best wishes in your future endeavors.

When you coming to St.Louis?

Glen was in Huntington not long ago. Did you try and see him there?
Bernt Michael
Dear Glen, your voice and music defies generations and open minds across the universe. In every way, every day, for all of us – you have been True Grit. I whish I could tell you personally one day !
Here’s a challenge, I know you enjoy a good one: my band is coming over from Norway in May, playing at AROTR (The Beatles venue) in Louisville, KY on 25.-27th. You will have front seats and get to hear whatever Beatles song you’d like for the entire show
Kind regards and the best of luck

Glenn, when will you do Europe … please.
Randi Millman
I was so touched by Glen’s performance in Boston tonight. I’m so grateful to have been there.
Shopgurlz
I saw him perform Feb 17th at Pala Casino in California. I swear I thought I would cry from happiness at watching him perform. I have always been a fan of Carlos Santana and his guitar playing, and Glen is right up there with the best of them. His dexterity and talent amazed me with his solo guitar moments. His 3 children in the band are so great also. I *felt* like his daughter looks out for him while they perform. She is also very talented, and does multiple instruments. I didnt want the night to end, I could have listened for hours and hours. There were even a few songs I forgot about, like “Where’s the playground Suzie”. I cant say enough good things about his show. I would love to see him again if I should be lucky enough to have that opportunity.
Mike
Glen needs to come back to St Charles, MO…the concert sold out at Lindenwood and I didn’t get to go…
Joebrownejarrow
I saw Glen at the City Hall in Newcastle England last October. It is the fifth time that I have seen him in concert but the last one was absolutely fantastic. It will be forever in my memory and I know I have seen the best singer that God has put on this Earth.
Good luck and may God bless you Glen
Melodys
I would love to see you again Glen Campbell, I have ever since I was a little girl had a crush on you and had a huge poster on my wall in my bedroom. I really would love to meet you in person and tell you how much I have been blessed over the years to be able to listen to your music. When kids my age back when I was a teenager they listened to soft rock and hard rock in roll I was listing to you back in the late 60′s up to now. Are you going to make a dvd on your Farewell Tour I sure would love to purchase a copy and a cd of the tour and do you have a program of the tour. Also do you have a tee-shirt with your picture on it with the final tour on the back of the tee-shirt? Please get back to me. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS.
YOUR SISTER IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
MELODY
RuthM
I can so relate to your comment! I too listened to Glen Campbell when the others were into rock-n-roll. I’d be interested in a cd and/or dvd of his final tour also. We (my husband and I) just saw him in Tucson, Arizona; it was wonderful! He does have a tour program available at his concerts, for $20.00 I think. Also, check out the “Glen Campbell American Treasure”-limited edition box set, featured on this web site. I believe the program is included in that.
Also, click on “SHOP” at the top of this web site; it will take you to Surfdog Records where you can purchase a variety of Glen Campbell tees. There is one with his picture from early in his career.
Also, I’m so thankful the Holy Spirit wrked in his life. You may be interested in reading my other comments, posted under Tour and Discography.

Just found out he’s finally coming to MINNESOTA…..right down the road from where I live near Prior Lake! I will be there front and center!
Saw him three times on the Ghost tour. Once “here” in St. Charles with my husband. Then drove to Branson, MO with my 3 youngest sons and saw him there. THEN flew to Milwaukee and saw him with my oldest son. It’s been a “family affair” and I was thrilled to travel to see him.
Jfermq
My fingers are crossed Glen can come to Mexico.
rhinestonegaucho
@Justin: Yes, we realize that. It’s only natural, however, to hope that Glen might appear someone close to where we’re based. Let’s not fight about it.
Best wishes to the Rhinestone Cowboy, regardless.
Justin
here’s an idea for the people who don’t have a show scheduled in their city; with all of these shows through June I’m sure you people that want him to come to you can instead go to him. He’s got enough shows to do as it is.
http://www.facebook.com/mike.roy Mike Roy
yea, well if I was rich, I’d be more then happy to go to him, but with the cost of EVERYTHING these days, traveling isn’t always the most financially reasonable option. I saw Glen in August and traveled 4 1/2 hours to see him. It was well worth it, but was expensive. So I’m hoping he comes back to Canada somewhere a little closer this time. We’d love to have him back, but the only close show to where I am is Verona, NY (another 4 hours) and its SOLD-OUT!! So that’s why many people vent for him to come just a little closer. I have no problem traveling to NY State, but can’t if its too far….
Kjenkins1985
Aww!! What about Houston?
Jennifer Pytka
No Pittsburgh area????????? Noooooooooo!!! Sececa Casino in New York? Help!!!!!

Would love to see him in the Kansas City area!

As a child I remember every Sunday night watching the Glen Campbell Hour on TV. Then as a teenager I had almost every Glen Campbell album there was. Actually, I still have those 33 albums, but nothing to play them on. So happy to go down memory lane at the Grammy’s.
Ellen
When I was young teenager in Glasgow, Scotland, I used to listen to pirate radio at night on my tiny transistor radio. They played Glen Campbell music almost every hour. His voice touched my heart so much that I vowed to come to the United States and live. Luckily, I met a boy who although it was not his mission, agreed to take the adventure with me. 34 years later, we live in New Jersey, we have raised 2 children, both University graduates, my daughter has modelled and my son is a drummer in a rock and roll band. If that is not living the American Dream I don’t know what is. My birthday was last Saturday. When I opened my card from my husband, 2 tickets for the Glen Campbell concert in Connecticut fell out! It took my breath away! Thank you Mr. Campbell for your beautiful music, I have it on my ipod and your voice still brings tears to my eyes. God bless you and your family, I look forward to seeing you this week.
Jcarnpro
I saw you when I was about 13…took up learning to play the guitar because of you! Please come to Pittsburgh, PA on the Goodbye Campaign!!!
Sylviak
What a fantastic tribute for a fantastic performer…..I will never forget it!! I, too, used to watch your show and sing along–wonderful memories. I work at a memory care community in Northeastern Pennsylvania (near Scranton). At Oakwood Terrace, we live in the moment and treasure every smile and sunshine day given to us. Since you will be in the nearby area for the Penn’s Peak concert in April, we would love for you to visit us and share the memories. Thank you again for your kindness. Take care…

Wish you were coming to the Chattanooga, TN area. The first time I saw you sing, you were standing in for one of the Beach Boys in Richmond, Va. I have been a fan since that time. More years ago than I want to admit to.

Glen, Could you please come to Memphis, TN ? I have been a fan since 1970′s and would love to see you in person.

Wow I’m 51 and grew up in Michigan, now live in NC, and my parents had all of your records. I feel like i’m loosing an old friend.

My husband and I flew from Denver to Tucson to attend Glen Campbell’s concert there! There were no dates scheduled in Colorado, and we didn’t want to risk missing this final goodbye tour. We had great seats – 3rd row center! The only catch was, in order to reserve the 2 seats we needed on line, we actually were forced to reserve all three remaining seats in that section. The “computer” would not confirm the reservation for 2 seats; it gave us a message that it would not allow only a single seat left open between other seats. Since we were flying to Tucson and spending two nights in a motel, we went ahead and bought all 3 seats, so we could get the seats we wanted. We mentioned this to the box office when we picked up our tickets prior to the show, stating that we had an extra ticket available for sale. It would have been nice to have one more fan able to enjoy this wonderful evening, since it was a sold out show. The concert was fantastic! However, Fox Theater would not allow any photos or videos, stating that it was “Glen Campbell’s rule, not theirs.” I wish I could find out the truth about this issue. If it is truly Glen’s wish to not be filmed, I wish he himself or perhaps one of his 3 choldren would make an announcement. Something like, “Out of respect for my Dad’s wishes, please do not take any photos or video during the performance,” would go a long way. I don’t think any fan with any decency would try to sneak filming if they knew it was honestly Glen’s preference. As it was, nobody really believed Glen cared, with all the videos of this tour out there on YouTube. Perhaps it is distracting to him because of his Alzheimers? At any rate, we were told “You only get one warning.” If we got caught a second time, we would be escorted out of the theater! Thankfully, at least one other person was able to accomplish what we were not; as of today, 2-19, there is one video of this event on YouTube.
Glen, thank you for giving us this final opportunity to see and hear you perform live! I brought a letter I had written and a lapel pin for you; I was able to give them to your daughter Ashley. I hope you like them. My prayers are with you. Keep Jesus in your heart always!
Keith & Rosemary Davis
My wife and I were at your concert in Phoenix last night. Glen, your children are wonderful musicians, singers, and entertainers. Thank you for this tour. I am so happy to finally see you in person. It was a wonderful concert. You sang and played beautifully. Brought back a lot of memories. I am 57, my Dad had a lot of your early records and played them all the time. I grew up listening to you and watching your show. God bless you. Harmony, peace, and healing to you. Keith and Rosemary.

Please come to Portland,OR or Eugene, OR!!

We too have just returned from the Phoenix concert. If there are two things you do this year they should be to buy Ghost on the Canvas and see this show. Just like Lori said his children are part of the backing band and to have him be able to spend his last tour with his children backing him has got to be the best memory those children will ever have. And I am sure Glen deeply feels the specialness of these moments. It was just an amazing night. When he finished up with A Better Place I can’t imagine there was a dry eye in the house. Even Glen was wiping tears from his eyes. Thank you Glen for everything over the years and thank you for tonight. Peace and Love…
Js90
Are you coming to Houston, Texas ?
Lori
Just returned from Glen’s Phoenix concert; the man still has hands on that guitar… he’s a legend, he’s a gentle giant, he’s a fabulous entertainer. The hour-and-a-half flew by entirely too fast; the two encore numbers helped make up for that! The opening band, “Instant People” was a wonderful segway into the concert… partially because it included his three wonderful, musically gifted, beautiful children.
Glen, you’ve been one of my favorite singers since my way-back-when days growing up in New Mexico in the ’60s. Thank you for being you, for being the wonderful, amazing entertainer — and God Speed!
Moddie and Jack
Fell in love 43 years ago listening to Gentle On My Mind and my perfect man and I were so lucky to see your concert in Las Vegas. We will love you and each other forever.

I hear you! We share a lot of the same feelings. My husband and I just flew to Tucson to see Glen there; it was wonderful. (and no, I didn’t get a chance to meet him:( )
Bob Simpson
Glen, please, please consider coming to Louisville, KY. We have a wonderful venue in the Palace theatre or the Kentucky Center For The Arts. You are a legend and I am extremely confident that you would sell out quickly. I have been a fan since I bought Rhinestone Cowboy at age 13. I have always been amazed by your guitar playing as well as your unique voice. I really cherish the opportunity to see you one last time before you stop performing. Please consider adding a few more dates to your tour. I will try to travel to one of your other scheduled shows but I can assure you that you would sell out here!
Pat
Glen hope you come to N. Calif. Wells Fargo Center Santa Rosa Ca. We love you here! Take a couple days to enjoy country , food , weather

Was hoping he would be in Atlanta Ga. or somewhere in the Atlanta up to Columbia, S.C. being that my family is in Augusta. If I am unable to get to a show I am still greatful that he is able to tour for others. Thanks again, Craig

I saw Glen in Houston, I believe it was my 6th birthday. My parents had given me a choice, a birthday party with prurience, family and presents OR a trip to Houston to see Glen Campbell! It was an easy choice for this little girl! My mom wrote a letter with a request for the best possible tickets. They answered her request with front row seats! I remember my sister taking me to stand outside of his dressing room hoping to get a close up glance of my favorite star. She held me on her shoulders as he was rushed pass us. I couldn’t believe I was that close to him! My mom remembers when he came out to perform, she never thought her excitement would measure up to mine. But it did,she said “Damn he’s pretty!”.
That was 42 years ago. We now live in Midland Texas and I will get to celebrate my 48th birthday seeing Glen Campbell in concert! I am beyond excited, thrilled!!!! I cannot wait to see him!
Thank you for all the wonderful memories, I could go on and on!

Who is the booking manager for these shows !?!? One show in CA and it’s at the Pala Casino ? Seriously ? Good God.
He should play the Filmore in S.F. period. And as long as he’s up in Nor Cal go ahead and do a show at San Quentin.
Talk about going out with a whimper, wow.
Carrieann
He also had a show on Oct 6, 2011 in downtown Los Angeles at the Club Nokia — but it is disappointing he’s not doing more in CA — maybe there will be more to come — we hope and pray !!

nothing after June. I have an AWESOME picture in my mind of Glen singing at The 12th Annual Worst Golf Tournament to raise money for the Alzheimers Association on the Naval Base of Oceana in Virginia Beach, VA. What do we need to do to make this happen ALL in the name of putting ALZHEIMERS front and center and putting an END to this AWFUL disease.
Steve
Sounded great tonight at the Grammy Awards, come to Long Island Please!
Laurieannwhite
I’d love to take my dad to see Mr. Campbell but the closest venue is 3 1/2 hours drive. Does anyone know if more dates will be added? Baltimore or DC is sorely missing from this list!
Michaelcsanders2011
FYI: I don’t know if more dates will be added, but if you’re looking at the Jim Thorpe show, you will be in for a real treat. The town is absolutely beautiful and the venue is among my favorites. It is well worth the 3 1/2 hour drive. It’s not in a city or anything, rather backwoods roads until you stumble upon the town. The Inn at Jim Thorpe is a great place to stay and it’s like 4 miles from the venue. I would highly, highly encourage you to check it out. Grab your tickets on Stubhub soon…because it’s sold out.

One of my favorite Jimmy Webb stories –
Jimmy had sent Glen a new number entitled “Witchita Lineman” for review and comments. Sometime later, Glen had called Jimmy seeking some new material in which Jimmy asked Glen what he had thought of that “Witchita Lineman” number he had previously sent. Glen said he liked it so much he recorded it. Jimmy then informed Glen that the song had not been completed. Glen said, “it is now”!

Someone please get this information to Glen Campbell:
ScienceDaily (Feb. 9, 2012) — Neuroscientists at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have made a dramatic breakthrough in their efforts to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. The researchers’ findings, published in the journal Science, show that use of a drug in mice appears to quickly reverse the pathological, cognitive and memory deficits caused by the onset of Alzheimer’s. The results point to the significant potential that the medication, bexarotene, has to help the roughly 5.4 million Americans suffering from the progressive brain disease.
Bexarotene has been approved for the treatment of cancer by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for more than a decade. These experiments explored whether the medication might also be used to help patients with Alzheimer’s disease, and the results were more than promising.
Alzheimer’s disease arises in large part from the body’s inability to clear naturally-occurring amyloid beta from the brain. In 2008 Case Western Reserve researcher Gary Landreth, PhD, professor of neurosciences, discovered that the main cholesterol carrier in the brain, Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), facilitated the clearance of the amyloid beta proteins. Landreth, a professor of neurosciences in the university’s medical school, is the senior author of this study as well.
Landreth and his colleagues chose to explore the effectiveness of bexarotene for increasing ApoE expression. The elevation of brain ApoE levels, in turn, speeds the clearance of amyloid beta from the brain. Bexarotene acts by stimulating retinoid X receptors (RXR), which control how much ApoE is produced.

Glen biggest fans
We’ve attended practically every Glen Campbell show in the Las Vegas, Laughlin NV area over the past decade – front row regulars Glen was always a fun show for us as we sung along. First saw Glen live at the first Farm Aid concert September 22, 1985, although Kris Kristofferson was in attendance amongst a long hall of fame lineup of musical talent, Glen instead of Kris sang the Highwayman along with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings – Still having the televised video of the event I sure hope Glen stops in our area and plays the Highwayman one last time to quench our tearful memories of a legend moving into the shadows of time.
Brett Mills
It’s been fun, and you’ve been a blessing to us all. Now, you deserve to have the time of your life with Kim and your children. I will pray for you and your family. Thanks much for all you’ve done for us. You are truly a global treasure. Thanks for the comfort of your music over the years, and for helping us to cope. I know the road has had a lot of bumps you won’t complain about. That’s you with God’s grace. Bless you, Mr. Campbell.

Is there any chance you are adding a few more dates to the tour??? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. DFW wants you to play. Can’t play Texas and not play Dallas or Cowtown! It would be such a pleasure and an honor to see the one of the greatest(if not the greatest) country singers of all time. I have always wanted to see Glen my entire life. I grew up listening to your music and my husband loves you too. We introduced your music to our son who started listening to it in front of friends when he was young and still likes it now at 17. God be with you. You are such a talent and so special to so many people!! Thank you for the wonderful music and fabulous years
Sandysignorello
I understand this tour,my heart goes out! what I don’t undestand I can’t send a message? When I was 5yrs.you and my father saved my life! My father said I would meet him some day, “If it’s the last thing he did”. They brought a phono in the hospital room to comfort me, I always woke up with a new album laying by my head. I did do better and my father past, but not without the promise/wish. I still have the phono and all the albulms, but I still believe in dreams. Glen Campbell my Mammaw dancing with with me till she was 93. I’m showing my age! He use to rap me in a blanket and hold me to watch your show.
In the 90′s I went to the Monroe County Fair in MI. and My husband thought I was crazy!!! The Statler Brothers were there and I wanted something special for my mother! CRAZY as I was they realized I wasn’t ? They knew I had their biggest fan. I told them I had the “OLD & NEW Testement”, and gave them each word by word”. My mother was dieing of CANCER, They sang 3 oncores and gave me a news paper, stateing: “Stay behind”! They took my mother and gave her the best 10/20mins. of her life. She never stopped talking about it. They followed up with a package of all cool things for her, but I sent them a sincer thank you but had to tell them that she had past on. I still have those things. I always adrmired you Mr. Campbell and all those who love you. I am myself fighting cancer and was hoping my fathers wish would come true someday. I never thought I’d be 50. But in any case I wish you and your family nothing but peace and God’s Love, I’l keep you all in my prayers.Thank you for the memories!!!
P.S. I still can listen to my phono.
Yours sincerely,
Sandy

My wife and I saw Glen last summer in Toronto. It was a magnificent performance from a remarkable performer. What a voice! On that warm summer evening Glen gave the performance of a lifetime and simply the best concert we have ever attended. Our thanks for a lifetime of beautiful music.

No one can measure the shock or dismay at being told they have Alzheimer’s Disease, unless it happens to them, or a loved one. My mother died from it in 2006, at age 86. My siblings and I still miss her. Thank you, Glen, for the joy of your fine music and memories of your television shows. Of all your wonderful songs, I guess “Galveston” will always be my favorite. I send my blessings.

Three Pike County graduates came to the Ryman the night you had Laryngitus. Sorry you couldn’t perform . We understood. My parents owned the Crater of Diamonds and we spent many nights at your Dad Birthday parties in his home. You are a wonderful man and they appreciated you coming down with your crew when you had the Goodtime Hour. Best of Luck. I was just diagnosed with a similar medical problem. God Bless, Margaret (Millar) Dawson.

Hey Glen- We saw you at the Ryman in Nashville on January 3rd and the concert was so incredible that we drove 400 miles and saw you again at Diamond Jack’s in Bossier City, LA on January 14th! The folks at Diamond Jack’s told us that you’re the first concert there to sell out. Of course, we’re not surprised. We’re very glad you have your kids in the band. They are so talented and certainly add a lot to the show. As a singer and guitar player, you continue to inspire me. We also love your new CD, and wish you great success on your tour. Even if someone has to ride a mule through wind, rain, snow and briar patches to see you, they should get to your concert. God Bless You, Glen!

It is very sad that “Glen Campbell” is leaving the one thing he loves so very much. I had seen him awhile back in Branson at the “Andy Williams Theater” and did meet his oldest daughter “Debbie” at resturant across the street. She had come over sat down with us in a both talked for a little while waiting on her food order. I had just bought a CD of his in which he signed for us I play that one even yet 10 years later. I’m trying for tickets at the “Comerica Theater” in Phoenix, Az. where I now live. Wish Glenn, and family the very best through this road ahead. God Bless!
Orangemagnum56
Thanks for the good times and great work. I saw you on tv, I think it was the Dick Cavett show in Sept. of 1968, I was 12 years old at the time. You played Wichita Lineman and the crowd went absolutely wild. To me and many others you brought country music into the modern era. Also your performance in True Grit with John Wayne was outstanding……..Maybe they can put that performance on your web site, ( the Cavet show performance and True Grit ). Also your performance singing Any Which Way you Can in the Clint Eastwood movie.
Thanks for the good times

You made me want to play guitar when I saw you on TV some 40 years ago. After seeing you at the Kent Stage tonight, I came home and played for an hour. Your playing and singing had a huge influence on me and so many others. Your vocals on “Witchita Lineman” and “Galveston” were simply remarkable. You and Jimmy Webb were a match made in heaven. What’s best: you’ve left a legacy of talented children that share so many of the traits I admire in you. They are witty, stunning, sincere, and oh so gifted (I can’t remember seeing five-part harmony that was so tight). Know that your gifts will live on long after this tour comes to a close. Thank you, thank you for sharing your gifts with us tonight in Ohio.

Got the privilage of seeing Glen Campbell at the Kent Stage tonight. What a wonderful show! His guitar playing is just amazing and his vocals were still enough to take you back. I shed a few tears when he sang Wichita Lineman, the first song I heard him sing when I was in high school. I think I wore out my 45! My mom bought me an album for Christmas, and I loved him ever since that. Glen you are in my heart forever! Thanks for doing this tour. Seeing you do this with your children made it even more special.
Alan Goldsmith
Saw the show in Ann Arbor last night at the Folk Festival. Stunning! It was a nice performance, an emotional evening for the sold out crowd and Glen’s guitar solos were breathtaking. Thanks for making Ann Arbor a stop on this tour.
Davrox
Hello – How long was his set and does he have an opener?
Thanx from Ohio
Mike D.
For the Joliet show, Glen’s back-up band Instant People (includes his 3 kids) opened with a terrific 20 minute set of original songs.
After a 20 minute intermission, Glen did a 20 song set lasting about 75 minutes, backed by Instant People and music director T.J. Kuenster.
It was all outstanding.
Gordon Speake
Last evening, I saw the show in Joliet, Il. What an emotional & completely enjoyable experience it was. Growing up with Glen Campbell’s hits, it surely took me back many years. I do not remember a more fulfilling evening in a long time. If you shut your eyes, you would be back in the, ‘Hits,’ days. Glen Campbell has not missed a beat. His range is as wide as ever, as is his yodeling & master guitar playing. God bless you, Glen Campbell.
Robert Mroczek
Mr. Campbell,
My wife and I had the privilege to see your Friday show at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet. I have listened to your music as long as I can remember but never saw you in concert. I was blown away! Your voice, playing, and showmanship are all stellar examples of what entertainers should aspire to. The fact that your family tours and plays with you is also inspirational! I hope you have as much joy in your life as you bring to your fans…and I hope the Goodbye Tour goes on indefinitely! Thank you and God bless you!!! Bob Mroczek

Glen Campbell performed in Houston this month and performed like The Great Entertainer that he is. The new songs from Ghost on a Canvas were excellent and the songs of yesteryear brough back many a tear. I also saw Glen Campbell in Stafford, Texas about 6 months ago from the 2nd to the last row of the balcony, but at the Arena Theatre we were 4th row!
I greatly admire that Glen though in the midst of a devestating disease, continues to do what he loves by performing and playing with his family on stage. My struggles with my own auto immune disease had brough me to be greatly inspired by the way Glen is living his life by taking on these performances and continuing to live.
As I was on a business trip last week to LA walking back to my hotel in the rain I was on the sidewalk with the Stars and came upon Glen Cambells Star in Hollywood!

Laura Bonum
Caught a GREAT show last Friday!! Glen & his entire band are LOADED with talent.
I was fortunate enough to meet Glen, his family and some of band. They are all kind, genuine people. His wife, Kim is incredible. She was very tolerant of my wanting an autograph & a picture. She even took the picture for me. It’s no wonder their children are such super people. Band members Siggy & Josh and Glen’s manger, Bill are also fantastic people…and fun to be around.
Glen performed like Glen. He was FABULOUS!! Lineman was my favorite but I especially enjoyed Dueling Banjos. Ashley was on the banjo & Glen on the guitar. The whole show was outstanding. I wish I could re-live that entire day.
If you have an opportunity to see Glen in concert, don’t hold back fearing you’ll see him struggle. You won’t. Don’t miss out.
Laura

How did you get to meet Glen? I’ve wanted to meet him since I was a teenager in the late 60′s early 70′s!
Wes Wagner
I saw Glen in Houston on jan 13 2011.What a magical night and Glen never sounded better. When Glen started picking and singing the years and illness reversed time by decades. I am a 53 year old Texican who does not cry but I teared up in that concert it was so special to see and hear Glens golden voice in person. What a night !! Thanks for some great new memories Glen. Wes Wagner
Friday the 13th,2012 was a lucky day for me as I went with my son to the Arena Theatre in Houston to see Glen Campbell’s show.I’m 66 so I remember Glen’s TV show and many of his songs very well,but I had never been had the privilege of seeing him on stage.Seeing him perform Dueling Banjos with his daughter on banjo was awesome.
My 42 year old son loves to sing and play guitar but he wasn’t aware of Mr.Campbell’s abilities as a performer.He told me after the show how very much he enjoyed it.He also liked the opening band with Glen’s daughter and sons who then are in Glen’s band along with his keyboard player of many years.
As another fan has written about one of his shows this January,this was a show we will never forget.If you have the chance to see and hear Glen Campbell DON’T MISS HIM.I already do and would love to go to his Austin gig while I’m here visiting Texas.
I wish the fans back home in Pittsburgh would get a chance to have him honor them with his fabulous show.

Mr. Glen Campbell,
Your music has always been great to sing to. Some of my best memories in life are going on road trip vacations and listening to my dad sing and all of us. When girls would ask what kind of music I liked I’d say something like “usually rock and roll, but some country like Glen Campbell, Willie Nelson, and those guys.” You really are excellent at putting people into your scene you create.
Healthwise, I’d just like to mention how fasting may help you. Read up on it. It is very effecient at clearing the mind and helping it strengthen. My father is fighting the same fight and I watch firsthand how drinking fresh juice from those juicers help him. Anyway, just thought I’d pass it along. I’d like to see you get healthy enough to swing back around to Fort Worth in the near future. Take care.
A Fort Worth Fan

Glen,
I met you at country radio station KVET in Austin–1985. You were finishing an interview and I was about to go on the air. People ask me, “who was the coolest star you’ve ever met”, and I always answer back, “Glen Campbell”.
God Bless Brother!

Dear Glen Campbell,
An addendum to my last letter to you-(posted under Discography)
After reading many reviews/comments on your recent Farewell Tour from your other fans, and viewing numerous YouTube videos, I wanted more than ever to see you perform live one last tme!
Since we didn’t get an answer to whether or not you will be coming to Colorado,my dear husband and I decided to make the trip to Tucson, Arizona. We’ll be flying there from Denver the day before your concert and staying over 2 nights.
Please, I (we) would love to finally meet you, after all these years!
Would it be possible to arrange to have you autograph my CD booklet, “Show Me Your Way”, my copy of your biography, “Rhinestone Cowboy,” and my album cover, “Galveston?”
It would mean so much to me! These 3 items are important to me because:
“Galveston”-My absolute favorite recording from my teenage years’ crush on you. Still love your voice.
“Show Me Your Way”-Contains your beautiful song, “Jesus and Me.” I was wo thankful to learn of your coming to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
“Rhinestone Cowboy”-Have not read yet; just ordered it. Reading reviews, I’m sure I’ll be interested, somewhat saddened by your poor life choices and falling away from our Lord, but I’ll rejoice with you that found your way back to Jesus! Keep Him in your heart always!
Looking forward to seeing you in concert in February! Hoping to have that chance to meet you!
Love in Christ, RuthM

I had the great honor of attending my first show Saturday in Milwaukee and was BLOWN AWAY. Your voice and guitar playing was better than I could have imagined. Instant People was great too, giving it all a very contempoary feel (they reminded me a little of the Kings of Leon except without any obvious metal influence). But between the music, performance and, yes, human drama of the reality of the situation, this was the most enjoyable, moving and edgy show I’ve been to in a long, long time. I guess the Bob Dylan Christian shows in 1980 come to mind. THANK YOU GLEN AND FAMILY!!
Kim Anderson
We saw you in Milwaukee at the Pabst theater last night January 21, 2012. You and your band were wonderful. We were in the front row and it was an honor to see you and how you interacted with the band and your three children. They have incredible talent and harmonize beautifully together. You are truly blessed. Thank you for sharing your gift with us last night and for a lifetime. Kim
Saw the show last night Jan. 20 in small town Freeport, IL and it was absolutely fantastic. Since he was able to make to Freeport in the middle of a snow storm, I decided I could make it there also and was so very gald I did. I have to agree with other posts, It was one of the best concerts I’ve seen and hope the rest of his tour goes really well for him.
Williamsonmaria89
I saw the shreveport show in Louisiana .. I truely did enjoy THe concert one of the best in my life.. Glen Campbell has a very strong voice dispite the sound wasn’t helping him much…He doesn’t use alot of affects because he is a real entertainer..I didn’t hear any help on his voice or guitar..He is and always will be one of the best vocalist/guitarist/icon.. EVER…Seeing is believing…

Couldn’t have said it any better — he is truly awesome — such unbelievable talent!! We are so blessed to have him in our lives!

My husband & I saw Glen in Houston on last Friday, January 13th. We thoroughly enjoyed his show. It was wonderful to see his 3 grown and very talented children play in his band. The tickets for this show was a Christmas gift from our kids. It was the best Christmas gift ever. God Bless You, Glen. We are huge fans!!!

I grew up & Bluegrass & Glen Cambell & The Green River Boys were part my little girl lullabies. When I was 10 I insisted on coporating “Galveston” into a class play. So I am so glad that I was able to see him at the Ryman & retrace much of my life thru his melody. I had forgotten how timely & representative of the times all his songs were. He gave us the American Experience.

All Canadians asking for Glen to come to Canada (he did), you can still see him. I just travelled from Canada to New York City to see him. Well worth the trip. What a show! THE BEST! You can catch him again near the border – in Verona, New York in April. I’ll be going back to see him again.
Ronfowlermusic
That’s nice, Mark, but not everyone can travel that far. Hope Glen gets in a few Canadian dates for his friends in the Great White North.
http://www.facebook.com/mike.roy Mike Roy
yes, I’d like Glen to come to Canada again. I caught the Toronto show traveling from Ottawa, and it was well worth it. Should no new Canadian dates show up, the Verona one looks promising and well worth it. Despite that horrid disease, he’s still got it. True legend.
Carol
Please don’t forget Canada!!

I saw Glen in Philadelphia last year !! the man and still pick and sing !!!
Most likely will travel to Jin Thorpe to see Him again….
ANY ONE OUT THERE WHO HAS ENJOYED HIS MUSIC:
I URGE YOU TO SEE HIM BEFORE HE RETIRES.
HE IS TRULY AN ICON OF LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY POP MUSIC !!!

I would love for Glen Campbell to come to the Centre in the Square in Kitchener-Waterloo, Canada! What are the chances of that?

I so look forward to seeing you, Glen, in Shelton, WA. I had my first crush, on you, back when I was 10, seeing you in True Grit and your weekly show,you were so kind, talented and handsome. I loved watching you then and always have since.
Strangely, I married a man, nearly 30 years ago, that has struggled with many of the same issues as you. It’s uncanny, but we too look ahead to our future, leaning on our faith. Good luck to you and your family. I can’t wait to see you.
Glen Fan
Wow, just watched Glen in Shreveport, LA. He sang to a SELLOUT crowd of 1000….Glen is probably one of the top three guitar pickers in the WORLD. You MUST see him before he retires…Thanks for the songs and the memories Glen. The haunting melody of the Wichita Lineman….there will never be another tune like it….God Bless you Glenn !!
BOBBY1006
Saw Glen in Houston. A MUST SEE. WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM AGAIN. HE WAS THAT GOOD

Is Jun 30 the end, or will more be added? We live in Colorado. We’d like to come see you, and we wonder where will be the nearest venue for us.
jimwebb
The tour is in Spokane and Lewiston March 3 and 4 and then a 2-week break before the next date in Austin on March 18. His Canadian fans would love to see Glen again, and the obvious spot would be Calgary. Any chance of him heading up here while he’s in the area, even for 1 date? It would be simply wonderful to see this legend again (I’ve seen him in New Zealand, UK and Canada).
Fichteradio
Please book a show in Atlantic City, South Jersey-Philadelphia fans want to see you.

We were privileged to see Glen perform last night in Houston and are thrilled with the experience. His voice holds true and his guitar solos are still inspiring. His young band is very complimentary to his talents and very capable of pleasing an audience on their own. The set includes all the expected great hits and is fast paced and energetic. If I had one wish I would ask for Gentle On My Mind to be the encore song even though it was presented earlier in the show. The final number was poignant and appropriate but I would have left even more pumped with Gentle On My Mind echoing in my memory. We are considering seeing Glen in Austin at the Austin Rodeo. Does anyone know if that will be a complete show or an abbreviated one? Thanks for the fun evening.
AramburuVA
So glad that my husband and I saw Glen Campbell in NYC on 1/7/12. The show was fantastic and very touching and moving. It was worth the cost of train, hotel and tickets to get to see Glen Campbell. I will never forget the memories. It also inspired me to purchase “Ghost on the Canvas” and Glen Campbell’s Greatest Hits. Thanks.

Wish Glen could come to Idaho Falls,Idaho!

I see he’s in Lewiston in March (4th, I think)

Why isnt Glens show in St. Charles Missouri on September on there? Please post it! Im afraid it will be cancelled due to low ticket sales. Thanks

Hi Mr. Campbell, I was so happy to be able to attend the Worcester concert last night. I just wanted to let you know how much your music has meant to me and how much I enjoyed last night. I met you after a NYC show with Jimmy Webb at Feinstein’s, you patiently autographed my 3 CDs and acted like I was the only person in the room. I have never met a more generous artist. Please know that you are constantly thought of and prayed for.
RuthM
How were you able to meet Glen Campbell? Several people have commented about meeting him. I’ve wanted to meet him since I was a teenager in the late 60′s early 70′s.
Robertjennifer
Hi Mr. Campbell! My wife and I traveled to NY City last weekend and were blessed to be at your concert. I grew up listening and watching you as a young lad. My wife and I were the ones waving at you in your van at the traffic light as you left the Town Hall. We’re looking forward to seeing you in Verona in April. Only 30 minutes vs 5 hours. We saw Jimmy Web a few weeks before your show, which was really neat. You both talked much about each other so nicely. I really enjoyed when your kids sang Hey Little One, it was great. Glen, we’re holding you up in prayer and giving thanks for how the Lord has used you over the years.
It would be nice if my wife and I could meet you in Verona on April 20th. Blessings to you all in Christ Jesus!

My wife Sandra and I attended your 1/11/12 concert at the Hanover Theater in Worcester MA. Seeing you and hearing your wonderful songs brought back many memories for us both. Your vocals were great and your guitar playing was exceptional as always. In the 1969/1970 timeframe, when we were dating, I use to bring a few favorite LPs along to friends homes and the “Wichita Lineman” LP was one we all particularly enjoyed at the time. We wish you continued success with your current tour and, of course, much health and happiness along the way.

Attended the performance last night at the Hanover Theater in Worcester MA. I brought my Dad who has Alzhiemer’s- It was such a good time for our family!! To see Glenn on stage with his 2 sons and his daughter was a treat. It was awesome to see a master at his craft and to watch him doing what he created to do. Glenn thanks for letting us ride along with you as you live your life fully, courageously, and with grace.

We want you to come to Colorado! Any chance? It’s not on the schedule.:(

IS Glenn going to tour in the mId West IE Kansas City Area?

Also, Does Glen Sing Any Of His Old Hits?
BB
I just saw him last Saturday night at Town Hall in NYC …he sang just about all his big hits ! He opened with Gentle On My Mind….he was great and his three children are also awesome musicians and singers !!! what a legacy Glen is leaving behind !!
Ekaylor98
Why arent you able to buy tickets for certain places?
Timseidenstricker
tickets might not be on sale yet for certain dates.
Ekaylor98
Thanks, Sorry i am just really excited and dont want to miss it!
Jim Celentano
Saw him at Town Hall in NYC last night. His voice was strong, and he can still play great guitar. Thee of his children make up most of his band, and as tight as any band I’ve ever seen. It was a pleasure to see the kids embrace their Father’s awesome talent, and chemistry between them is awesome. Don’t miss this potential last chance to see this legend, while he’s still very much on his game.
Marty judge
saw him last night in nyc, outstanding! his guitar playing is matched by nobody, his voice is smooth as ever, his children are in the band, and he was funny in between songs reminiscing about so many memories. and the courage to do all this while dealing with early Alzheimer’s is so brave, find a tour date and do not miss this musical god.

My parents are big Glen Campbell fans and my sister and I got them tickets for Christmas for the Bloomington, IL show on Jan. 19th. It was really the only gift that I was actually excited about giving this Christmas. Well, my father had a heart attack and died early Friday morning. We are all heart-broken but my mom still wants to go to the concert. It’s going to be really hard for her but she knows how much dad loved his music. I was just wondering if anyone knows how to contact someone to maybe get Mr. Campbell to dedicate “Gentle On My Mind” to my dad during the show. Thanks for any help.

Just saw him at Town Hall in NYC last night. This was an event!! He is every bit the fantastic performer he ever was. His band including his three youngest played with him and was such a treat. Can’t wait to see him again on this his last tour. We will miss him. Truly one of the greats.
Judy Holman
The concert Mar 22 in Clearwater is sold out, they added a new show on the 21st. There arent’ many left there either. I went fishing today and by 6 tonight the really good seats were gone. They only went on sale at noon today. Wow, I’m glad he is selling out. But…. I wish I had a better seat.
Steve L.
Going to see Glen in April!!! Can’t wait!!!
Katherina Swank
I am goint to see Glen Campbell on January 30th at the Kent Stage in Kent Ohio. Hoping to see a good show.
Anonymous
I am soooo bummed that I missed the Nashville show. I hope I can still get tickets for Jackson MS show to see Glen. I have never seen him before and I hate the idea of never getting to see him. A true, American icon!
Judy Holman
If you have never seen Glen perform you have to go!
Scotty
I just found out this very minute that you will be sneakin’ in at The Iridium in NYC for the early show with your old pal Jimmy Webb. I can’t make it although it’s a second home for me and I won a Les Paul there this past Halloween and was there New Years Eve. You see, there is a football game on tonight that you might be aware of. It’s a little thing called the Cotton Bowl. Being from Kansas, there are a bunch of us misplaced Kansans here in NYC all getting together to watch our Kansas State Wildcats roast your Arkansas Razorbacks. We all love a good pig roastin’. Sorry I missed ya’, enjoy your reunion and come back REAL soon. Hope we can still be friends!
Judy
football over Glen? hmmm
RuthM
Ditto!
Bob G.
My wife and I were at the alzheimer’s benefit in Maryville…….Glen and Instant People were outstanding……we’re going to see him again for a few of the Florida shows coming up in March
Bakinsoder
Is there an opening act at his recent shows?
Karen
In at least one of his recent concerts, his children’s band (“Instant People”, If I remember correctly) opened for him, It was an Alzheimer’s benefit concert, so may not have been the norm. When we saw him in KY in September they played back-up and filled in during his brief break, but no opening act. They are very talented and his daughter, Ashley, who is a whiz on the banjo, played a duet with her dad (“Dueling Banjos”). FANTASTIC!!
Vicki Romine Schaefer
Instant People open the show, as well as back Glen up!
Claudia
Glen’s goodbye concert in Huntington WV last night was pure magic – his singing, his children, his wonderful attitude were joyful and uplifting! God bless you and your family, Glen!
Denise DeHeer
Please come to Missouri!!!!! xoxoxo +
Michael Hall
Glen- Your show last night at the Ryman was incredible!! The band, and your kids, are fabulous! I’m also a picker and singer and drove up from Memphis both times. Drove back last night listening to your new CD. It’s great! Now I’m bringing my sweetie from Dallas to see you in Bossier City on Jan 14th. We’re So excited! It’s worth driving all the way across America to see you in concert. You’re just the best, Glen! God Bless You! –
Bob Bowers
We made the second trip to the Ryman. The frist show was Changed to last night fromd Dec. We live in Ohio and it is about a 6.5 hour drive. Boy was it worth it you were GREAT and you should be so proud of your children , The evening was well worth the return trip to Nashville and the Ryman.
Richard
WOW!!!!…we brought our 6 year old son to the Ryman show last night – yet another generation Glen…your music, your performance – absolutely incredible…our hair was “tingley” too!!!!!
Robin
Please as dates to east coast Florida!! Please, please, please!!!! Love you! Happy New Year!!

Your show tonight at the ryman was amazing. What a beautiful thing to be able to perform with your children!

I have been haunted by your achingly beautiful voice and verse for decades. Tonight I purchased the last ticket to your show in Ann Arbor. Looking forward to an evening of your sparkle and shine.

Glen — are we ever going to be able to get “Oh Happy Day” on CD?
cynicaloldme
Hi from the UK, Carol
‘Oh Happy Day’ is track 15 on ‘The Glen Campbell Collection (1962-1989)’ from Razor & Tie Entertainment of New York.
Carol
Thx to all who answered my question about “Oh Happy Day” — I found it on the Glen Campbell Collection @ Amazon — I appreciate it !!!!
cynicaloldme
Back again. Here’s a link for Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Collection-1962-89-Glen-Campbell/dp/tracks/B000002ZDA/ref=dp_tracks_all_1#disc_1
I think, without looking, ‘Oh Happy Day’ was on ‘The Glen Campbell Album’ – white cover with a pencil drawing. I had it for Xmas 1971 – the first of many (them all, in fact). I’ve no idea why this album was never out on CD as it was one of his best.
There is also a DVD set available called ‘Glen Campbell and Friends’ which was a 6 part series by BBC TV back in 1975. I believe Glen sings this song in there somewhere although it could have been on a TV program he made a year earlier which was never re-released. Sorry to be unsure.
On that earlier program he duetted with Carl Jackson on Duelling Banjos which, in today’s language, was simply awesome. In fact, Glen on that show was his historic best and the whole thing was incredible.
Oh happy days!
Scotty Moran
You have got to come to NYC. As a guitar player from Wichita living in NYC and having heard Ghost On The Canvass, me and mine are asking, please!
I love you !!!! Mary In The Morning….. I listened to for about 2 years every morning when my Mother passed away. I was 13. I know every song on that album plus some. I was surprised…NO DALLAS???? I am trying to make Austin happen. Love Ghost on the Canvas. God is always with you. xo

A few years ago, I combed YouTube for recent Glen Campbell performances. I’m listening to one of them right now, and Glen is singing and playing the bagpipes. It’s one of many Amazing performances I’ve been lucky enough to hear by this great singer and musician over 40 years or so, and whenever I hear this one, it brings tears to my eyes. Good Luck Glen, and I’m looking forward to seeing you live for the first time in Shelton, Washington this coming March. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
Glen, you have been an inspiration to me for about 40 years. Love your talent, voice, smile, humor, fantastic guitar playing, and even the jokes! The new CD is GREAT and the rest of the Campbell’s in the in group are right behind you. What a talented family and you are blessed everyday. May God give you the strength to carry on. Love you Glen and Happy New Year to you and all the Campbells. Maybe you can add Forth Worth or Dallas to the schedule so I can see you one last time.
Bob Frapples
One of the Greatest guitar Players of all Time. Bought my Ovation in 1973 Thanks to Glen. Still Play it every day. Glen Thank you for changing everything. You’re one of those guys.

praying for you glen as you carry your cross of dementia just like my loving wife betty of 54 yrs , i have always new your gift and talent from god was just that? but as word got out the gift from satan was never far behind , and his evil addiction to alcohol was gunning for you ? but alas with your strong faith in the lord you are now walking his true walk into heaven when his voice calls you home you sing from the heart and soul as one of his layapostles betty and i praying for you and hope to meet someday here on earth? or in paradise with lord http://www.petercampbell.faithweb.com ukip skys the limit and scotspeter channel

I grew up with your music.
The family watched your Goodtime Show together.
My dad had your music on 8 track. I had it on cassette.
Saw you in concert about 10 years ago in Aberdeen, SD.
Was at the Inn of the Mountain Gods, NM concert on 12/18/11.
Thank you for your positive attitude and sharing your time and talent with us again. My mother had dementia and I have worked with those who have dementia/Alzheimer’s. I’m sure that you will handle it with grace and dignity. God bless you and your family.

Still hoping to see any one of Colorado’s Front Range cities on the list….!

Dear Glen,
I have been a fan of yours since 1967 when your first big hit Gentle on my Mind came out and continue to follow your career. So very sad your career is coming to an end I do hope that you will
make one more stop and perform @ the Ameristar Casino in North Kansas City MO. I had a front row seat in the last 3 Concerts I have seen you perform to include the Andy Williams Moon River theatre, I even had the opportunity to have a picture taken with you backstage a photo I will always cherish. Your daughter Debby & I also had a picture taken (2) times as well.On a serious note I wanr ro wish you nothing but the best in whatevr & wherever your travels take you and your wife Kim. Thank you so very much for all of the beautiful music you havercorded over the years abd also a very special Thank you goes to Jimmy Webb who wrote a majority if the music that you sang
over the years. I will be forever greatful listening to your music. Bob Hope said it singing a song once while he was touring oversear in Southeast Asia “Thans for the Memories” and rgar goes double for me. May God Bless you alwats “Mr. Glen Campbell”.

Glen, please come to Oregon! I want to see you in concert one more time! I have loved you for over 45 years!
Beatrice
I would so love to see Glen and his band play a gig in the San Francisco Bay Area, or somewhere in Northern California near the Bay Area. He hasn’t played in this area in a long time and we would love to see him!

W. Isgett
Sure would love to see a show near Richmond, Virginia. Nearest so far is 300+ miles away.
Taeho
Does Glen have any plans to visit the San Francisco Bay Area? I saw him out here in 06 when he played in Napa. Would be great to see him one last time if you all can put something together, please!
Beatrice
I agree, and made another request for him to return to the San Francisco area in a post above. It would be great to see him at one of the theaters in Napa or Yountville, at the Oakland Fox or Paramount, or one of the many other places in the Bay Area. We have so many theaters, and people here who would love to see him.
Michael-francis2

Is Glen coming to the Riverside in Laughlin, NV this year?
I have a question. Is Glen going to be at Silver Springs Feb 11 and Mar 24th?
Rebecca Carpenter
so disappointed that the concert date scheduled for South Bend, Indiana has been cancelled, especially after reading these comments. Please can we get rescheduled?
Valerie
I traveled from Tucson to meet my sister from Lubbock so we could see Glen perform with his band! Lots of standing ovations- lots of toe tapping and singing in the audience! He has a love for the music that transcends to his fans! It was fun to see hear his children playing so beautifully as well! The place was sold out-as was the new CD! Hope to see him in Tucson again in February!Thanks for sharing your music Glen!
BMc
Glen Campbell still Rocks!!! Seeing & hearing Glen last night in Ruidoso, NM was the best birthday present I’ve even had.
Thank you Glen for sharing your music with us one last time. I’ll never forget the wonderful night of music…and your children &teh entire band were incredible! It was an honor to be there.
Sheila
It was wonderful to have a chance to see Glen last night in Ruidoso, New Mexico (came up from Albuquerque). It was a lovely concert – his children did a great job performing one of his songs — still an amazing guitar player — just don’t make them like Glen anymore. Thank you for all the wonderful music!
Jay
It was an honor to be able to see Glen last night in New Mexico. Glen, as everyone else, was uncomfortable due to the lack of air conditioning, but provided everyone with a wonderful evening of music regardless. Glen’s vocal range is still incredible and he can still tear up the fretboard at will. It was a beautiful evening, Glen. Thank you.
Peggy
The show was awesome! Glen impressed me with his classic hits and his new CD is so touching! A must see for anyone who is dealing with dementia and etc. Who ever thought of doing this keeping his family and music together need commended…the best thing a family could ever do for their loved one!
Jbodo
Something is wrong here. We spent a $140 to see Glenn at the Keith Albee in December-he cancelled due to laryngistis. It was a $1,000 out of pocket to be there for the tour. What can you do for us at the Melbourber, Fla. appearance. John and Linda plus our two guests, Jane and Steve.
Great show at French Lick last night! Love the new album and I’ve been wearing my tour shirt with pride today!

Wish we could get current Nashville stars to do a tribute album done now like Common Thread and others. It would be awesome to have Glen contribute to it also.
Bob Gaffney
Great show last night @ Clayton Center in maryville, Tn. It was an honor to meet you, Glen.

Glen’s concert tomorrow in Huntington WV has been postponed until Thursday, January 5 at 7:30 pm.
draxmeister
Just saw Glen’s concert in Branson on Dec. 3. It is a DO NOT MISS concert. There are a few changes, but he still has the voice and no one compares to his guitar skills. A few years ago we saw him in Honolulu with the Symphony Orchestra there. He was, as always, terrific!! Played “Classical Gas” on a 12-string guitar – holding it over his head. It’ll be a long time before we see a talent like his. Maybe his sons and daughters can carry it on.

I saw a news article yesterday saying Glen had cancelled (and rescheduled) his concert in Wausau, WI. Has anyone heard whether his Huntington, WV concert might also be cancelled? Laryngitis can take awhile to clear up.

Taydelott1
After learning of his battle with Alzheimer’s, i’m afraid that he won’t be able to do many more shows. As much as this breaks my heart, i know he has done everything he can for his fans. I offer this prayer, Please God, do not take away his hands, fingers, and ability to strum a guitar. Leave him with the peace that an acoustic guitar with the notes and chords give him. Let him play till you come to take him to play for you. Amen
Big Glen Fan
Saw Glen last Saturday in Branson with Restless Heart. It was a good show and Glen is brave to continue. He did his best and he can still play wonderfully. God bless him and his family. I am so glad I got to see him.

Not a good experience for everyone that was suppose to see the Dec 5 show. Called Monday morning before we left Birmingham to see if the show was still on and we were told that it would be as scheduled. Got to Nashville after driving most of the way in pouring rain. Called again to find out what time the doors would be open as we needed to pick up our tickets. We drove from our motel to the auditorium in heavy rain to learn that the show had been cancelled. I suspect that they knew well in advance that the show was going to be cancelled. Sorry that Glen wasn’t able to perform but it was the way that the ticket office handled the cancellation which is the most upsetting. Will not going back on 01/03/12.

glen canceled dec 5 at ryman in nashville and everybody was fine with the new date. We all love him!

Just saw Glen in Branson Saturday. He is a very courageous man and his family are extraordinary people in the way they support him on and off stage. They sounded great and you can tell he wanted to give more of himself. God bless him and his family
Goergia Cann
We came to Nashville from Austin, Tx. to see Glen tonight at the Ryman. My husband is a wonderful musician and claims he was first inspired by Glen. We have fifth row tickets, I will be with my husband, we will be seeing Glen Campbell……The only thing that could make this day any better is If Glen would play Country Boy. That is the song that Chris my husband would play over and over on his little 45 recored player. Thank you Glen for all the wonderful memories.

Please consider returning to Minnesota in 2012. We missed you at Black Bear in Duluth (sold out), but would travel anywhere in MN you would grace with your presence!
We’ve been fans for at least 50 years! God bless you.

Does anyone know if Glen is coming to Australia? If so when?
Dena
Rhonda, I was confused by that, too. Silver Springs’ website shows the March 24th date for Glen, and somebody else on 2/11.
Rhonda
I am confused about the Florida tour dates. I see on Glen’s website he will be at Silver Springs, FL on February 11 and again on March 24th. However, not sure if Feb 11th date is still a good date. Does anyone know if there will be two shows in Silver Springs?
Serdahllj
Linda J. I have all of your albums from the 1960′s and still play them regularly (yes, real vinyl records, people!). My sister bought me your “Try A Little Kindness” album for my 18th birthday, which is a true classic, and now, for my 60th, I am going to make one of your final concerts. I LOVE your singing, and am very much looking forward to that concert. Take care.

I was at glens concert in Edinburgh as i could not manage to get tickets for Glasgow show. I loved the show from beginning to end..it was terrific watching a true music legend. I just wanted to say thanks for the beautiful songs which you sang..songs which i had been brought up with in the house as a kid..it was marvellous to actually get the opportunity to listen to this music giant singing songs which will for me last forever gently on my mind..in the meantime im going to try and source tickets for the glasgow show..and my only regret is not going to see glen in the early eighties with my mother in law when i had the chance.

Glen Campbell is simply the best as what he does and I don’t believe there will be anybody anytime soon who will even come close to the genius of Glen Campbell. Long live Glen Campbell

Glen:
I was born in Arkansas and raised 35 miles from Jimmy Webb’s hometown of Elk City, OK! I sure do wish you could come to Washington, DC in 2012! Loved watching your television show when I was a kid. Good luck on the tour and thanks so much for the years of good-time music!
Eric
I hope Phoenix is added to the list. You have too many friends here to skip it!
Pamdowd
Hey, Glenn–I thought that you looked great on the Ellen Show and your voice was as great as ever! Congratulations on getting the award from CMA! You most certainly deserved it. I watched a few minutes of the program, but since it was a show that my husband never missed, it was to hard to watch. After having watched him die from cancer, I know that I would prefer to have Alzheimer’s. Not easy, but a gentler way to go. I know that so many advances have been made, I wish you the best. If you come to Tulsa, I will definitely come to see you. I no longer go to concerts, but yours would be an exception. Take care and I hope that you enjoy your tours! I used to watch the Glenn Campbell show, without fail. My mother and I thought that you were so handsome! I later watched the show with my husband. So, I’ve been a long time fan!
Take care,
Pam Dowd

Glen, My name is Delane Chatham. I was your brother Geralds neighbor at Trinity River Lake Estates in Clark Texas. I knew your mom and dad and watched you fish in the lake. I have enjoyed your singing and loved your family very much. My prayers are with you and may God hold you in his hands.
David Boyd
Mr. Campbell,
A short note to let you know I am thinking of you! I had the opportunity to
meet you in Greensboro, North Carolina back in the 1970′s. We met at
the Greater Greensboro Open Golf Tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina.
I was introduced to you by a mutual friend, Mr. Dave Stockton.
Dave won the “Glen Campbell” Los Angeles Open Golf Tournament in 1974.
I have always admired you, your outstanding music and your contributions to
the Game of Golf!
It was an honor to meet you in Greensboro. I will always remember your
kindness, just as you have said many times in your famous song,
“Try a Little Kindness.” You have always been a very special entertainer and
above all, an extremely special person. Your song moto has always been with
me – “If you are kind, and treat people kind, you will be treated in kind.”
Kindest regards,
David B.

The last two comments …just another example of what is going wrong with this country. Mean spirited and self serving.
God Bless you Glen… you have a big fan here.
Maryvirgo
I think you should go be with your family then going on tour and gobbling up more money from people for tickets. Especially when people are hurting so bad. With all the money you have made throughout the years, you should give back and give free concerts.
D.B.
(Maryvirgo) are an idiot, to say the least! Maybe you should consider giving your
assets to someone in need. Although, as dumb as the comment was written, I’m sure
you have nothing to give – another than a stupid comment to a very ill individual.
Try going out into the world and find something free of charge. You may find your ignorant
advice is about the only thing that is “free,” as no one would consider compensating you
for your intelligence!
Its hard to see you doing a Goodbye tour when I have never been able to meet you. I’ve got to hear you over my moms phone when you came home to do a concert in Delight AR. (or in the Area of). I have also got a album or two of your songs. We are very distant cousins my moms last name is Stone. I Love your music and wish you could keep playing so I could hear you in person one time. Well I hope to see you one day.
Susan
Look at all this Love! I must add mine: Please come back to Savannah.
Sal
Glen,
Please come and perform in Montana! You would be most welcome in our state!

I have been a fan for over 30 years,my 32 year old son loved Rhinestone Cowboy when he was little.He is still a fan today and a great guitar player.I was extremely privileged to be at the show at Symphony Hall Sunday,a night I will remember for ever.I also loved Instant People and found it so touching to see how Glens daughter was so protective of him.Thankyou,thankyou,yhankyou.

My husband and I were due to see Glen Campbell in Birmingham but were unable to do so due to unforeseen circumstances. We are completely gutted that we will be unable to make any of the remaining UK and Ireland dates and would love to hear of more dates (even in Europe) which may be added to the Goodbye Tour.

I attended Glen’s performance in Southend last night. I was really moved by the whole event and to see and hear such an iconic performer. I guess I was always a little young for Campbell, but seeing him live prompted me to buy ‘Ghost on the Canvas’ today. It’s a great album and expanded my knowledge beyond Wichita Linesman! Thanks a lot to Mr Campbell and his family for a great evening! I can really recommend it to anyone.

Glen, we would love to see you perform somewhere in Massachusetts or New England in 2012. Thanks.

My family decided to take a trip in the 90s (I wasn’t even 10 yet) through Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri. We were lucky enough to have parents that exposed us kids to music at a young age. This trip included my first concerts… Glen Campbell, Lee Greenwood, Barbara Mandrell. Glen’s concert sticks deeply in my memory to this day. Toward the end of the performance, he tossed us his guitar pick. Us 3 kids scrambled onto the carpet as fast as we could. I still have it… and a great picture of the 3 of us with Glen… as my sister (just a few years old) was screaming to get out of the picture. Would love to get tickets for my parents…

You were my first live concert. It was 1969 and my best friend Gwen’s parents took us for her birthday. We were both 12 years old. She passed away at the young age of 34. One of the best memories I have of her are the two of us at your concert. Please come back to California!

Glen,
I hope you can come to New Jersey, I’ve been listening to you for 40 years now! Since I picked up my first guitar in 1972 at 7 years old.
On the winds of my victory…My favorite song you did. God Bless you.
Joe.
Ben Specht
Rochester, NY or Upstate NY! I can’t afford make it out to the Midwest just for a concert. I’ve been listening to you for years and love all your music! You inspired me to learn to play the 12 string.

Glen,
I appreciate your talent and the inspiration you present to people with alsheimers and other health issues. You are one of my heroes as an entertainer and musician. I always wanted an Ovation Adams like you played on yoru show! Very Spiffy! Bless you on your tour and in future. I am now doing inspirational talks since having a heart & lung transplant In december 2010, I close my speech with Try a Little Kindness… I think this song expresses the way I hope the world works… or should work…
I hope you will play a concert in BC Canada close to where I live. It would be wonderful to see you live.
God Bless, keep spreading your songs and kindness along your way…
In Admiration & Gratitude,
Kevin Kienlein

Very sad – no t more dates in the south. Lucky UK – over half the concerts there. Need you in Birmingham, AL – not Birmingham UK!

I saw you on the Ellen show, WOW!. You were one of my father’s favorite performers. He has been deceased for about 25 years. Your music came across the t.v. and I was suddenly taken back to my childhood. I even closed my eyes and just kind of lost myself in your music. I have never had that happen before. Thank you for bringing back my memories. Lots of love and luck!
Wonderful, stunning performance at Newcastle on 29th October. It was an emotional experience for me, and I loved the natural family atmosphere you created. I felt part of your extended family, that night. You are an inspiration to us all. Your family must be so proud of you. I had been told what an incredible guitar player you are, but that performance was pure genius! You made it seem so effortless, and you were loving every moment. We certainly were…and what an magnificent, moving end to the evening with the audience participating in a rendition of Rhinestone Cowboy!
Teresa Allan
I I have been a fan of Glen Campbell since Gentle on my Mind was released. I have loved his music over the years and only got to see him for the first time with my friend at Newcastle on the29th Oct. I would have loved to have seen him before, but better later than never.. The concert was very emotional and Glen was everything I expected him to be, warm, friendly and I was amazed by his guitar playing. I hope he gets the strength to deal with his illness and that God gives him and his family the strength to cope with it.

Took my Dad (68) & Daughter (16) to Basingstoke last night where we could say our farewells, emotional to say the least but above all Glen; you’ve still got it mate!

I had the privilege to be at the city hall newcastle last night. I was really moved by the whole night, I had a lump in my throat most of the time it was really emotional. I have listened to Glen since I was a little girl and my parents played his music. It was lovely to see such a wide age group in the crowd – with people bringing their young children and grandchildren – Glen, your family are also so talented and your voice is still amazing – Thank you Glen I will always remember last night.
Jaspusa
please come to cleveland Ohio !!!!
Renee Joi
Glen, I was so fortunate to see you as a little girl. I vividly remember sitting on my fathers shoulders and listening to you sing “Rhinstone Cowboy” and being inspired by how effortless you made playing the guitar look. You had your rhinestone suit on and I was star struck!
I was an only child and quite lonely, so I spent a lot of time in my room by myself. Not too long after the concert, my mom walked into my room and caught me kissing you on your “Southern Nights” album cover. It’s funny now, but I thought I would die at the time.
Many, many times I’ve loved hearing your music, whether it was with my ear pressed up against those big honkin’ speakers we used to have, or on a road trip, or while I watched the vinyl spin.
I’ll echo what someone else here said….
Those of us who know The Lord know where we’re going. I look forward to knowing you then.
In the meantime, PLEASE come to Washington state!
You and your family are in our prayers… we love you!

A lot of us grew up “in love” with Glen.
Clive Garlow
Glen,
What is there to say? I am so full of appreciation of you and your musical works over so many years (I am 68 years old). I have been there with you musically as you have been there for me. I have never been one to join fan clubs. It was simply enough to enjoy your talented guitar playing and your songs. At this age, many of our musical idols have left us with me never having said “thank you.” Not this time! Glen, I truly hope that a simple “thank you” says it all. In my Native tongue (Mohawk), the word “nia:wen” can best be decribed as a one word prayer to Creator, thanking Him……for you.
Since 1996, I have been a volunteer radio announcer/DJ for a community Native radio station here in Ontario, Canada just a few hours east of Toronto. During my tenure, there were many occasions as you can appreciate, for me to include you in my playlist. There were/are just so many tunes by Glen Campbell to include in my show. You are as much at home on the pop charts as you are on the C&W charts. Your beautiful music had no real boundaries to the discerning ear. None! One song in particular, I had great fun in introducing to my listeners and…..it was a COVER! “It’s Only Make Believe” originally by Roy Orbison. Beautifully done and I’m sure Roy would agree. What a gem! I told my listeners that, in my opinion, better than Roy himself. Got some flack from some listeners for that (in fun) but I stand by my opinion every time I play it.
If I could give you a song in return for all the beautiful songs you have given me over so many years, I would give you “Emily Remembers” by a wonderful Canadian artist, Shirley Eikhard. I hope this reaches you somehow and that you can acquire it. Glen, you may not be able to remember some day, but please know this; the legions of people who’s lives have been touched by you (in many cases, so very deeply), we….we promise to remember for you.
Thank you too, for your thoughtfulness in giving us “Ghost On The Canvas.”
Hold on hope.

We saw Glen Campbell last night in Nottingham, a fantasic show and he was well supported by his three children and musical director. I lost my mother in 2003 to this illness and in those days the illness was not spoken about, but it is now coming to the fore with people in the media talking about it in both the USA and the UK. I would recommend that people see Glen Campbell and this may help people understand the illness.
A great show .

Look at all these Glen Campbell tour dates! Impressive.

When my Mom passed away in 1968, my Dad got into Glen’s music and so did I…….You helped ease his pain and mine as well even though I didn’t realize it at the time……..I got into so many different genres of music in the ensuing years and sort of forgot about Glen until my Dad passed away in 2005 at which time I rediscovered one of the best singer/performers that America has ever produced…..somewhere in mid 2006 I bought all of Glen’s early disks and remember vividly listening to them on my journey from New Jersey to D.C. to visit my son at American U…….That trip and Glen’s music will stay in my heart forever……thank you so much for the joy your music has given me for the past 40 years and will continue to give me through my dotage…..God bless you Glen Campbell, the joy you have given so many will live forever…….to the Campbell family, your pain is immense but the joy and pride you will ultimately feel in being part of Glen’s life should bring a smile at the thought of this great man for as long as you live…..God bless you all and may joy crush sadness in your lives, always……thank you for the music and the memories!
JaredVaughn81
Glen,
Thank you for your music…and what you have meant to so many lives. You’re like an old friend who has always been there…and its hard to imagine our American Pop Culture without you…but yet you will always be there. My heart is full.
God’s Blessing,

Glen,
Like the others who have posted here, I became a big fan when I was a little shaver (I just turned 50). I was actually “in love” with you! I even tried to make my bangs look like yours did!
We (my family) had your Christmas album (the one with “Little Toy Trains” and “Little Altar Boy”), which we played to death (but still have). A few years ago, I went on a search to find a CD of that album, and ended up paying around $40 to purchase one from somebody overseas. So many things have changed over the years, but listening to it brings back such fond memories of Christmas and a simpler time when we were kids–it just wouldn’t be the same Christmas without it.
I rejoiced with the angels when you accepted Christ, and am glad that while you were able, you chose Him.
I, along with millions of others, will miss you, Glen, but I know I will see you when we praise Him in heaven.
With love from a sister,
Stephanie
RuthM
I can so relate to you!
Robin101962
In 24hrs time I will have seen Glen in Northampton, UK. I know it’s gonna be an emotional & unforgettable night. x
Glen,
I first discovered your music when I was nine and Gentle on My Mind was released. I loved your voice and was mesmerized by your guitar playing. I remember staring at the screen when you were on television, trying to figure out how you made those magical sounds emerge from your guitar. I began lessons that same year. I’m 53 now, and after retiring from the classroom, I am working as a guitar teacher. I play out locally and at weddings and special events. It is a dream come true, and it all began in 1967 with the beauty of your music.
Through the years, I’ve been lucky to see you perform many times. You were gracious enough to call me backstage with my parents when I was young on several occasions. You encouraged me to practice, to find my own voice as a player, and to explore music of all genres. You have no idea what your words meant to me. My late parents admired you so much, and they were grateful for the impact you had on my life.
My father had Alzheimers and I lost him in January, 2011. When I first heard your diagnosis, it crushed me. I didn’t think I could attend one of your shows, knowing it would be farewell after a lifetime spent listening to your music. It’s taken time for me to remember that this won’t be farewell. For those of us with faith, we know that what we must endure in this life is temporary. We will be blessed with your voice and talent again, as we rejoice together one day. I know you have that faith, and I see the same joy in your face as you sing today that I saw so many years ago – the love of music that inspired me to play as well.
Glen, you inspired me to find my own voice as a guitarist. Whatever talent I may have as a musician today is due in no small part to you. Thank you for inspiring that nine year old girl, for encouraging me, and for living the lesson that while we aren’t perfect, we are forgiven. I’ll attend a final show and I know that I’ll still be in awe of your playing, wondering if I’ll ever be a fraction of the player you are, just as I did in 1967.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

I became a Glen Campbell fan in 1967 when his first bih hit Gentle on my mind made it’s debut & since then I have followed his career ever since. When he turned to drugs & drinking he career was put on hold foe some time. When I saw his Live from Sioux Falls South Dakota dvd he was welcomed back with open arms and it really showed he was back on top once again. With age & his slowly not remembering very much anymore you start to thinking is it because of his drinking/drug use ? To be really honest with you “I don’t think so ” Never the less he will always be my idol when it comes to listen & watch him play almost any instrument he can put his hands on and do it ever so gracefully. Glen if you are reading this Pleas come to the Ameristar Casino in North Kansas City MO one last time so I can send you off with a standing ovation, You reall deserve it. I am so honored to have picture taken with both you & Debby in 2002 @ The Moon River Theatre. May Fod Nless you always and it has been a rel pleasure just listening to your marvelous voice and watch you play that magical guitar..

Really hope he makes his way to Australia.

We enjoyed a concert of yours a few years ago in Sterling Heights, Mi and were looking forward to this tour. Hoping God will give you the ability to continue this tour beyond the dates and cities scheduled. You could call the concerts “God’s Not Through With Me Yet Tour” and give the glory to our Lord, Jesus. We keep you, your family, and others in our prayers.
Karen Priewe
Love you Glen! Have all the way from when you started! Your voice is magic and it hasn’t changed. I’m so sorry about your having Alzheimers. My father had it also – but you are doing something that is so wonderful by touring this one last time! I hope you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. Click on Billy Grahams site if you don’t.. please.
Many blessings,

I attended the Renfro Valley show, with antcipation since May. Renfro Valley is extremely underated-guess you have to be there to know what I’m saying. At any rate, Glen absolutely dominated the night-(no warm up band required in these parts) I have never heard such a strong voice in over 700+concerts I have attended. He was, as well, very humble throughout the night. I will forever be a fan of those songs that stop you in your tracks for just a few seconds in the span of life. Glen has more than one of those.

We made the trip up from Minneapolis to Blackbear. We found ourselves crying when he shave failed,Lord..”Great show. Honor to be in the same room,one last time.

Could not not correct my above post…
…When he sang…” I’ve tried and I have failed,Lord”…
Now that makes it hard to listen to the cd also. *sniff*

We saw Glen last night and he was wonderful. His voice is still fantastic. I heard him one time in the past say Elvis was the best male vocalist around, but I would personally have to say that Glen’s range and variety of singing shines much brighter.

Hi Glen, My husband & I just got home from your concert at Kewadin Casino,Sault Ste. Marie. I wanted to buy your new album, Ghost on the Canvas, but when we came out after Ronnie Milsap got done, your table was cleared! i was so dissapointed! Your concert was fantastic, and we all showed our love with a standing ovation. We are so sorry to hear about your Alzheimers disease. We all pray for you. Love your music, and hope you can sing your songs many more years.Love Irene

It was my birthday and I saw you in Santa Barbara this past weekend. Glen, you and your kids gave a terrific show! The audience was so happy to see you. We thank you for all the beautiful music and other talents you have given us over the many years. Your current album, “Ghost on the Canvas” is wonderful. I also saw you on Leno and Ellen. Fabulous. Best to you and family.

I just saw your performance on Ellen and was saddened to here of your diagnosis. I immediately logged in to see when you were going to be within 200 miles of me. I was ecstatic to see you were going to be in Texas. As I started to get tickets, my daughter pointed out that this month is October and that September has already passed. I literally cried. I would have given anything to see you. I really hope that, when the tour ends in February/ Florida, I really wished that you could do a HBO or Showtime Special performance with a donation hotline for an Alzheimer’s charity (research or patient support), giving everyone a chance to see your last performance, before you retire. Alzheimer’s have robbed our society of so many. I pray they find a cure. I have admired you for your talent and character, but now I admire you even more for your courage, your love of the art. and your dedication to your fans. You touched my heart four decades ago. Please know that you are loved, always have been, always will be, and in the prayers of millions. May God bless you and keep you well.

The new album is such a tale of a life well lived. I grew up listening to Glen Campbell on our HUGE console stereo – he was one of the few that my parents would allow us to listen to being the good Southern Baptists they are . We lost my 50 year old sister to frontal lobe dementia one year ago this week. My father is nearing the end stages now. This dementia seems incredibly cruel as one of the first things it takes is your speech. My father and sister both lived for music, singing, and family. Oddly enough, Mom asked me to try to find some Glen Campbell music for Daddy during one of my days of caregiving and I found this new album. I played it for Daddy as we drove up the Blue Ridge. Many times he nodded, smiled softly, and his eyes welled with tears during “Any Trouble”. Thank you Glen, family, friends for making this album.
And if there is ANY way possible to get a little further South during the tour – please do! We’re in South Carolina and somehow I’ll get my folks in some prime seats and make a new memory. Won’t last long for Daddy but the rest of us will never forget it.
Rickelson
Loved your voice since 1962 when you guested with the Crickets on “Dont ever change” and been a huge fan ever since “By the time I get to Phoenix”. Seen you many times in Wales. Love your songs as you can so easliy relate them to whatever you are going through at the time. So many memories to keep when the touring stops. Thanks for them all.
Mr. Lee
My wife and I saw Glen’s show last night at the Club Nokia in Los Angeles. The house was packed and almost every song brought the house to a standing ovation. Glen’s 3 kids in the band were fine musicians as well as the other band members. Thanks Glen for giving us the opportunity to see and hear you in concert for this farewell tour. We were amazed at your continuing mastery of the guitar. Your voice was great as always and you entertained us well. Please carry our well wishes for the remainder of what looks like a very full tour. You’ll be loved in every country.

Glen – I have been a fan of yours since I was 9 years old and you were playing at the Hitching Post in Albuquerque, NM. My grand parents Leo and Louis Carey owned the club. I would give anything to see you play one more time but the closest you will get to me is French Lick, IN and those tickets are sold out. Next closest in Nashville and those are gone as well. I enjoyed your rise to stardom and you are one of the great memories of my childhood. Thank you for all the wonderful music over the years. Good luck on your tour and my prayers are with you,
Dorsey Worthington – Cincinnati, Ohio
A few years back, my parents, my sister and I attended a Glen Campbell concert at The Orleans in Las Vegas. While they were casual Glen fans, I was certainly a huge fan. By the end of the show, they were on their feet clapping for more. He totally blew all of us away.
My sister, who happens to work for a major television network, asked me if I wanted to go back stage and meet Glen. I was skeptical. It couldn’t be that easy! As we approached the stage door, my sister pulled out one of her business cards and said, “We would like to say hi to Glen.” Without hesitation, they opened the door and we suddenly found ourselves backstage in a room with about 25 people or so.
Glen entered the room and started to go from group to group to say hello. I couldn’t believe this was actually happening. I was content just to be in the room and watch Glen interact with the folks. I never thought he would walk up to us. Well, he did! We introduced ourselves and proceeded to tell him how much we enjoyed the show. He was very humble in his response. I, just trying to be funny, told him that I was a little disappointed though. He looked shocked and puzzled. I told him it was because he didn’t sing my favorite song. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. He thorough his head back and sighed and said, “What a beautiful song. Jimmy Webb” He then proceeded to sing it for us! We just stood there. Our jaws open in amazement. Our very own Glen Campbell concert. He sang few lines, smiled, shook our hands and walked away. Neither my sister or I will ever forget that. What a special moment.
Thank you Glen. God bless you.

It has become trendy in recent years to talk about what a cool song “Wichita Lineman” is and how great Glen Campbell’s performance of it is, While I am glad that it is getting such well-deserved recognition, it does bug me that the “Cool” gods waited decades to realize this.
Carolyn
My First Album Wichita Lineman…I got it for Christmas. Galveston was my second album, I put it on layaway at our local Hardware store in Panguitch, Utah and made payments on it. What a surprise it was for me, when I got home from summer vacation and there was “Galveston” sitting on my bed, all paid for and ready for my little turntable. I still have both of those Albums and many more of yours, and I am 51 years old. I Love You, Glen Campbell! I always have, and I always will. I grew up with your music surrounding me and I am forever grateful for the “Gift” of you, Glen Campbell, and of Jimmy Webb, and the “Magic” created by the both of you. My world is a more gentle place, because of your music, Glen Campbell. My understanding of love, and of life, and of kindness, came from these treasured moments with you, Glen Campbell. I loved you then, and I love you now. My life is so much “sweeter” because of you. Thank You!
Glen fell in love with your music from the beggining…………..in 1974, wanted to name my child Glen…..but she turned out to be Peggy Jo ! My family, incluing Peggy Jo, met you several times….as well as my Mom, Dad, boss, friends, mother-in-law and grandmother (G.G. when Pope was in Philly)…..you were always gracious to us…..and a true hero, our Cowboy……thank you for everything…..thank you……thank you for all the memories….and friendship. My 4 pen friends are still friendly across the POND due to you…….you have given us friendship, laughter, music. I hope to see you one day down the road…..till we meet again…….Jan
Cindy Totten
My husband was recently diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer… he (and I-but especially him) have adored Mr. Campbell for decades and have followed him and his music. Ghost on the Canvas I know inspires him each day- every day he listens to the songs before he goes on his daily walks- he is a very private man- but I know the songs touch and leave an imprint on the core of his soul…
We have tickets to the October 6th performance in California. We will be in the very very back but are so thankful we will be able to be there… if you could shout out an ‘hello’ to Jack Totten it would mean so very much… please know that each and every day you ignite a light inside of him to push forward… thank you for all the lives you touched each and every day we are blessed to have you here with us and wish you and your family the very best of life and love….

We saw Glen and his kids last night at the Stafford Centre, a small 1100 seat venue right in Houston’s shadow. Glen’s voice and guitar playing were excellent as usual, and his wit & humor shined through as always. Even at 75 the guy is still the consummate showman and entertainer! His set-list looks to be the same posted below at the Renfro Valley, KY show and the entire house loved each & every note. I will admit, I was wondering if he would sing ‘Houston (Im Comin’ To See You)’ also, being he was right here again.
Being that this was his last time coming through Texas, I am grateful I got to see the Wichita Lineman one last time as he bravely takes on his greatest challenge of all and searches for that Better Place.
Thanks for the music & memories Glen, your music has and will be with me always.

My wife and I had the privilege of being on the front row recently at Glen’s concert in Forrest City, AR. It simply couldn’t have been any better. Glen’s vocals and guitar playing were outstanding.
Also, his family and others who make up of his band did an awesome job as well.
I was surprised to find they were staying at my motel and I had the honor of sitting with he and his daughter Debbie the next morning in the lobby for cup of coffee.
What an unexpected thrill. I had no idea I would get to meet him. Glen and Debbie were most
gracious. I had my picture made with Glen. I’ve already had it enlarged to an 8×10.
Please go see Glen on this last tour if you have the chance.
You won’t be disappointed.

Glen Campbell’s show was magical! Campbell joked about having this “memory thing.” This was a brief, bittersweet moment. Being the true entertainer, Glen quickly moved on & continued the magic. There were hundreds waiting for him to speak to them. After a short rest & change of clothes, he was on again visiting with his fans.

Glen Campbell was awesome. He opened with Gentle on My Mind (reminiscent of the Good Time Hour) and closed with A Better Place from Ghost on the Canvas. In all, he did five songs from the new album. In between, he performed many of his big hits and some surprises. It was a fun and memorable evening.

This was the second time that we saw him at this location, the first was in May 2000. Over the last few years I would look at Renfro Valley’s web site to see if Glen Campbell would be appearing there as I live only 40 minutes from there. I didn’t look for a while but a friends posting about the show on September 13, put me in search mode for the tickets on their site. I lucked out and got two for the floor.
As my wife and I were walking outside before the show, I thought I spotted a familiar face headed towards the theater. We walked over and I was right, there he was. Not only did I get close enough to see him, I got to meet him, get a picture and my wife got him to autograph my CD of “Ghost on the Canvas.”
This show was just as good as the first and knowing that it would be one of the last opportunities to see him in this area made it all the more special. You could tell he was having issues with his illness but I don’t think that mattered to the crowd one bit. He even joked about it several times during the show at the start of a song or between songs.
I have listend to his music since he first started hosting “The Smothers Brothers Summer Show” and moved on to his own show. I have always enjoyed his music and know that I will continue to do so for many years to come.

My Husband and I was at the Renfro Valley show last night also. It was great. I have loved His music for so long. We waited outside after the concert close to the Bus. So glad we did. He came out of the bus and greeted the crowd that was waiting. I got Him to sign an old album we had taken with us just in case he was signing autograph’s. So Happy to be that close and get His autograph. I will cherish it always.

Sept. 17 – Renfro Valley, KY – Renfro Valley Entertainment Center
“Ladies and gentlemen, tonight the Garden State Arts Center proudly presents Capitol recording star Glen Campbell.” I was twelve years old when I attended my first Glen Campbell concert and my first big-name concert ever. It was July 3, 1969, and my family and I had just missed being on the Glen Campbell “Live” album by one night. Yet, each time I listen to that album, I experience the excitement of that first concert.
As a family, we had become fans of Glen through his television show. Mom fell in love with his boyish good looks and “Dreams of the Everyday Housewife.” Dad, a country singer and guitar player in younger days, was impressed with Glen’s guitar prowess and his showmanship. Influencing my musical tastes was the variety of music Dad listened to and, on those occasions when he would get out his old Gibson, the songs he sang. Therefore, it wasn’t a stretch for this New Jersey boy to become a fan of the man from Arkansas.
When Glen released “That Christmas Feeling” in the fall of 1968, we bought the album as a gift for Mom’s birthday that December. One night while she was out shopping, Dad decided that we would give it a listen before we wrapped it. He surgically sliced open the cellophane and carefully removed the album from its cover. Once we had finished listening, he placed it back in its cover and resealed the cellophane with transparent tape. To this day, I can’t remember if we ever told Mom.
August 13, 1969 and my dad, a fan of the space program, took us to New York City for the tickertape parade honoring the Apollo11 astronauts. We were front row for the ceremony at City Hall. When the returning heroes emerged from the building, the crowd began pushing forward crushing us against a metal barrier. Somehow, Dad managed to rescue us to safety. Although we were relieved that no one got hurt, the disappointment of not seeing the astronauts hung over us until we made our way to Radio City Music Hall and “True Grit.” There was Glen along with John Wayne and Kim Darby to save our day.
By the mid 1980s I was married and living in Colorado with my wife, Bonnie. Glen came to town to perform with the Denver Pops and I took Bonnie to see her first Glen Campbell concert. An appearance in Greely, Colorado however is one that is most memorable. Performing with just a small band and with the beautiful Colorado scenery behind him, Glen talked about filming “True Grit” with John Wayne. The story segued into the movie’s theme song taking me back to 1969 and Radio City.
In September of 1989, and now with a family of my own, we relocated to Northern Kentucky. We didn’t know too many people when we first arrived, but there was one familiar face…Glen Campbell. He was performing just on the other side of the Ohio River at Sawyer Point in Cincinnati. At one-year of age, our daughter Liza was at her first Glen Campbell concert.
Now it’s September 2011 and Glen and I are about to come full circle. Just as he was at my first concert back in 1969, I’ll be attending one of the shows on his final concert tour. On September 17, the night before my 55th birthday, he will be performing at the New Barn in Renfro Valley, Kentucky. Just as my dad had brought his family to see Glen forty-two years ago, I’ll be bringing my family to see Glen.
Throughout my life, no other artist has been so intertwined, a thread that ties that twelve-year-old boy to this fifty-five year old man. I want to be there to thank Glen not only for all the great music but also for his being a part of my life. In his liner notes for the album “Ghost on the Canvas”, Glen writes “In some ways, it’s a musical biography. But hopefully you’ll find a little bit of yourself in there, too.” I have. Glen, you and your family are in my prayers.
Countryroyalty
What a wonderful tribute. Thank you!
Vicki Romine Schaefer
Sentiments of so many of us, well said.
Craig William Dayton
This morning, I woke with the song “Galveston” (composed by long-time Glen collaborator, Jimmy Webb) playing internally in my head. I had no idea why that was, and then I realized that Glen would be at Shippensburg University (Pennsylvania) for his Farewell Concert. The university is only about 30 minutes from me. An easy drive. And…then I realized…oh no (!), the concert was on Saturday, October 27.
I had missed it.
I had only learned of the concert the day before (26th) by accident. But, so much happened that Saturday (e.g., I lead a group of walkers from Maryland over the Gettysburg Battlefield), that the day simply got away from me.
Now, I will never get the chance to see the great man perform live. But, Gary, thanks to you, I will experience the man and the concerts through your eyes. Thank you for this wonderful tribute.
And to Glen… Thank you for all your wonderful singing and songs, your amazing guitar playing, and for all of the many artists that you have helped over the years. So many people are going through what you are going through now, and I know what you are facing probably is painful for you and your family to contemplate in terms of how it will all play out. But know that you and your family will remain in my prayers and my prayer list. You will not be forgotten.
Lori
Please come to Nashville!!! We need some Glen Zen down here !

Would LOVE to see you in South Florida!!! Hope you add us to the calendar!

I traveled all the way from Lubbock, TX to Forrest City Arkansas to see Glen. My Father was a musician and was born in ’41 so I grew up listening and playing Glen’s song with my Father. Unfortunately I never was able to play on stage with my Father but seeing Glen play with 4 of his children really got to me. I was able to get my picture made with Debby and then later with Ashley and the cool Norway Bass player. The entire night was so fun and brought back so many memories of my Dad. I wish my Father was living so he could have went to the concert with me. It was amazing and all of the people I spoke with in Forrest City were very genuine and welcoming. God Bless Glen, his wife and his family for making last night amazing. His wife is very brave and doing a good thing by letting us see Glen play one last time ( and for me the first). People really can find true love even at 46. What a cool story about his past 30 years.
Pete_gong
Marty… I made a special trip to that concert as well. It was memorable for me and I will always remember Glen as well as the people that was at that concert.
Ricky David Tripp
Thanks to Glen for a wonderful evening last night in Forrest City, and for the chance to share with him at the meet-and-greet how much his music and influence has meant to me in my own career through the years. I hope he enjoyed the fun story about the time that his dad and I accidentally held up the start of one of his shows! I also hope he calls our mutual friend Jimmie Rodgers one day soon (writer of “It’s Over,” on the “Gentle On My Mind” album.) Jimmie, like all of us, wish him only the best. I love this guy like a brother, and I want him to live forever.

Glen enjoyed your Forrest City Arkansas show you were awesome but, I could not be more disapointed in the way you treated the fans waiting for you outside. You were in your home state 9 states came in to see you and you left thru another entrance not the backstage door. Even your tour mgr told me to be there after the show. There was not a large crowd. Im sorry I feel you could of at least told us you were not coming out. Your kids even told us to hold on. It was on my bucket list to meet you as well as some other fans out there. Sorry Glen

Glen,
Please consider a Tour date in Sarasota, Fl, during Feb. 2012….so many fans there that would love to see you at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall ….

Why isn’t Glen coming to GALVESTON, TEXAS, the subject of one of his most beautiful and poignant songs????????????????????? Texas loves you, Glen, and we would give nearly anything to hear you sing about our beautiful island city one more time.
Tim Seidenstricker
Marjorie, I have heard that they are constantly adding more shows and cities to the tour so just because it’s not on the current tour schedule doesn’t mean he’s npt coming. I head he will tour most of 2012 also. Good luck, I hope you get a show down there in Galveston.
Andreaguerin
My husband & I are looking forward to tonight’s show in Forrest City, AR. We’re heading down from Memphis. I grew up listening to Glen and have fond memories of sitting on my parents’ den floor staring at the Wichita Lineman album cover & the blue album cover with Bobbi Gentry. I will have an extra ticket available because my best friend bailed out on going to the show due to all of a sudden getting sick. 2 copies of Glen’s new cd arrived from Amazon yesterday, and it is a stunningly beautiful collection of music. There were segments of music which brought tears to my eyes & others which made the hair on my arms stand straight up. The guitar solos which close out the last song were so gorgeous—there really are no words to describe them. God bless you and your family, Glen.
Marc Montana
Hello..

All of my very best wishes for the the man who’s music defines my relationship with the only man I’ll ever really love. We started listening and going to concerts in 1967 and never stopped. Every time I listen to a Glen Campbell song it takes me back to the best memories of my life, thank you, thank you, thank you Glen! We both LOVE you and your music. Also thank you for introducing us to Jimmy Webb, Anne Murray and the absolutely lovable Jerry Reed! God Bless You! You may have passed this way but once, but you have touched millions of hearts and left an indelible print.

Glen, was hoping to see you in Arizona, maybe AVA Amphitheater at Casino del Sol outside of Tucson. I have been a fan since 1967 and have been to your concerts in Denver, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and many, many times in Las Vegas. Have most of your albums and cd’s. Thank you for so many Good Times!

The closest show to me is 6.5 hours away in Sault Saint Marie. Will there be a closer date to lower Michigan, or should I suck it up and drive to nowheresville? Will more dates be added, or is this it??

Toronto was great I true legend doing what he does best playing his guitar in front of a great crowd Mr Glen Campbell well done sir you know how to truly rock.

We’ll be attending the show in Sault Sainte Marie, MI- a 331 mile drive. Can’t wait to see him again. First saw him at Andy William’s Moon River Theater in Branson. Go whatever distance you have to!

Glen – have been a Fan since the Good Time Hour was on TV. I was only 8 but I never missed a program. Thank you for all continued dedication to your music.
Hope you get a show in Chicago.

Glen, I wish you could come to Australia one more time – saw you in Brisbane on your last tour – absolutely awesome!!!! You have been a huge part of my life and I’ll never forget the sound of your amazing voice. I will always regret not meeting you in person. Hope to see you in a “Better Place”

Been a fan for most of my life. Saw you in Biloxi (sent a devotional book to Kim), planning to see you in Renfro Valley. Your music has been so much a part of my life. Loving the new album. Hope your health allows you to continue on the Goodbye Tour for a long time.
Heathe
thinking of traveling MANY hours to see Glen. His music means so much to me, but it is really only one song that would compel me to travel so far. Does anyone know if Still Within the Sound of My Voice is on the setlist?
MecEng255
I would highly recommend you travel the distance. My wife and I drove 300 miles one way to the show and it was worth every minute. I hope Glen’s sells out every show and gets a number one for his new CD which is really very good. I think there are a couple songs on the new album that will bring Mr. Campbell very close to No. 1 if not actually there. You will enjoy this.
Jazzbass12
New album is outstanding. I grew up listening the Glenn and have fond memories of watching his tv show with the family as a kid. I hope he comes to Boston. I wish the legend only the best.

can you come close to chicago for a show? i’d love to see you perform!

What about NYC on the tour?
Deb mcfee
Glen – I was at your show in Moncton, N.B. Canada – you were terrific. Loved to hear you singing with your children. It was a wonderful show, and I got such a kick out of you trying to pronounce ‘Moncton’. (It’s ‘Monk-ton) You are an incredible performer. I saw you years ago in Boston Garden in 1970. You’ll always be my favorite singer….have truly always cherished your music. God bless you, dear.

You should come to Deadwood, SD…..and play at the new Deadwood Grand! I know you would sell out! God Bless you!

Had front row center seats at Moncton, NB and the show was incredible.

Please consider making a tour stop in Holmdel, NJ (Garden State Arts Center, where you recroded a live album back in 1968-1969- now known as the PNC Bank Arts Center), the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ, the Community Theatre in Morristown, NJ or the State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ. Your “Ghost in the Canvas” album CD is excellent and great listening.

Squeeze a stop in N.W. Ohio at the Huntington Center in Toledo. A guaranteed sell out……

Will you come to San Diego? Humphrey’s would be a great venue for you.

It’s a real shame that your final tour does not bring you back to New Zealand. I went to your concert hear in Auckland a couple of years ago and it was one of the best live concerts I’ve ever been to. Absolutely awesome singing.
Jrcobetto
Hey, Glen, just wanted to post, here, how much of a fan I am of yours. I’ve been a big fan of yours since 1982, even though I remember watching you on TV, many years earlier, back when you made appearances on the Smothers Brothers Show, as well as your own show that followed – The Goodtime Hour. I, myself, am a musician. I play several instruments, but my two primary instruments are the saxophone and steel guitar. So, I can really relate to all of your stories, back when you, yourself, were coming up, playing in some “not-so-hip” dives (the occasional bar fight, etc.) Yet, though, I wouldn’t trade though days for anything. That was one of the ways I “cut my teeth,” musically. The only way I can really express to you my appreciation of all your talents is to say a BIG THANKS to you for the following: your stories of playing in your uncle’s band in Albuquerque, and other bands to follow, the video clip of you on Youtube singing “San Antonio Rose” in 1956 (I guess that was on the TV show in Albuquerque that you made appearances on with your uncle Dick Bills Band); you having the courage to move to Los Angeles in 1960 (the year I was born – LOL!) to try your hand as a session musician (which you accomplished very well); your brief stint with The Champs in 1961; for releasing “Turn Around, Look at Me” (also in 1961); for singing the doo-wop tune “Desire” with the Trophies (you, Ricky Nelson, Jerry Fuller and can’t think of the other guy’s name – oh, was it Jerry’s brother?); for releasing “The Miracle of Love” and “Prima Donna” (two numbers before you “hit it big”); all of your appearances on Star Route (1963) and Shindig (1964, 65); your version of the Faron Young tune, “Going Steady” and your “lightning-fast” picking on “My Window Faces the South,” both on Star Route; your version of Elvis’s “Surrender” on Shindig, as well as the many other numbers you performed on Shindig with Leon Russell and the other house band members (boy, do I love Youtube!!!); your appearance in the movie, “The Cool Ones,” (1967) singing “It’s Just One of Those Things”; your many accomplishments as a studio musician with “The Wrecking Crew” (of Phil Spector fame) – to include your guitar work on Nat King Cole’s “Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer,” Frank Sinatra’s “Strangers in the Night,” the wild 12-string guitar picking you did on Burl Ives’ “Holly Jolly Christmas”, your work on the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds” album (including “Good Vibrations” and “God Only Knows”) – the list goes on and on; your brief work as a member of the Beach Boys, filling in for Brian Wilson (I can only find pictures of you with that group, but I wish there were video clips of you, as well, with the Beach Boys); your big hits, Gentle on my Mind,” “By the Time I get to Phoenix,” “Galveston,” “Honey Come Back,” “Where’s the Playground, Susie?,” your cover of Conway Twitty’s “It’s Only Make-Believe,” “Rhinestone Cowboy,” “Southern Nights,” “Can You Fool,” etc., etc.; your TV show in the early 1980′s; your appearances on Ralph Emery’s “Nashville Now,” back in the 80′s; your appearance at the “V.P. Fair” (now called “Fair St. Louis”) in 1984 – under the Arch (I was there watching your show, right after Helen Ready warmed up for you – I live in the St. Louis area, on the Illinois side); your appearance at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis in 1988; your appearance on Sally Jessie Raphael’s show in 1989; your appearance on “Rick Dee’s “In to the Night” show in (I believe) 1991; as well as the other TV shows and CD’s your were involved with in more recent years! Oh, and of course, I can’t for get your induction into the Musicians Hall of Fame (recently), and your induction into Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005! Well-deserved, but long overdue, in my opinion. Glen, I’m sure I’ve left out many other aspects of your career that I admire, but just wanted to convey the ones that stick out in my mind the most – the ones I’ve just stated, here. I am greatly looking forward to your show in St. Charles, MO on Sept. 9, 2011, as my wife and I will be there watching you. So, so glad you are doing a farewell concert! I hope that, maybe, you will be greeting some of the fans after your show because it would be an honor to meet you! Hang in there with the Alzheimers thing! You (along with your family) displayed much courage in going public with it. I know that you will face that challenge with grace and dignity! I can relate to that because my father is currently dealing with it (unfortunately, in runs in my family, on his side, primarily) Take care, and God bless!

And Uncle Boo????????? Glen’s “Uncle Boo” is being honored with an exhibit in the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville. There will be unpublished photos and radio recordings of my Dad (Uncle Boo) and Glen. My Aunt Judy (Boo’s sister and Glen’s Aunt) was married to Dick Bills and was also in the band. Although Dick receives all the credit, I am sure it was his Aunt who was a big stepping stone too.
Richard Bills
Hi! Richard Bills here. My Father was Dick Bills. Great to see these tributes to Glen.
Jeff Bretz
VERY well said. There is one more song that I personally would add to the above. That would be Witchata Lineman. My father was a lineman. He passed away in April of this year. I listen to that song at least twice a day in memory of my father. I do remember watching the Good Time Hour with my parents. Best of luck to you and your family, Glen. You ARE the real deal! An excellent musician and person.
Attorneygirl
Bought tickets for RENO! Have loved Glen’s music since the late 1960s. Wish Glen the best! Taking the California Zepher train from Sacramento to see him. Should be a blast.
Jim Meehan
Just glad to have tickets for my daughter and I to catch Glen @ Castlebar Ireland in November. Tks for making the effort Glen and family.

Glen, I just wanted to say Thank you! for getting me through a difficult time in my life.When I was 8 years old my father died it was 1971 and he was a lineman for our local electric company Glen he died on the job, when” Wichita lineman ” came out it became my favorite song it will always remind me of my dad still to this day . I hope and pray for you and your family I am a big fan and find you an amazing musician!! I play guitar and always wanted my kids to play an instrument so glad to see your children follow in your footsteps ! sorry to go on but I would love it if you could make a concert stop in my neck of the woods! I live just outside of Atlantic city NJ
Simchabl
And New Hampshire!
Loving your music was a family affair! We had all of your albums when I was growing up. I was so excited when you got your own show – that I got the hiccups! My dad had a wonderful voice. When I was grown & was asked what I wanted for Christmas, it was a cassette of my dad singing your songs. How those songs have been a healing balm for me. After mom died, dad developed dementia but could always sing your songs. I took care of my dad until he died 3 years ago. In a way, your last tour is like a brief reunion with my dad.
Glen, I have faithfully prayed for you since your early days with the Beach Boys. I was so overjoyed to see that you attended the U.M.J.C. in Arizona a few years ago and had given your life back to God.
Kim, my prayers are with you. I know what it’s like to care for someone you love as their mind slips away from time to time. Remember the man you love is still inside that brain somewhere. Though we won’t meet on this earth, I look forward to meeting you both in heaven!

I am so excited about your upcoming concert at Renfro Valley, Kentucky. My sister and I are going to be there. It’s going to be sad though knowing that it will be the last time I will see you in concert. Thank you for making this tour so that your fans can say goodbye.

Glen, I have always been such a big fan of yours and still am. Your music was such a great part of my life growing up. When I got to meet you in Ft. Lauderdale at the Jackie Gleason Inverrary Golf Tournament back in 1972, it was one of the highlights of my life. You were fantastic then and you still are now. Much luv.

Glen, I’ve been a fan for many decades now, and as important as your voice and the songs are to your sound, as a musician myself I loved your guitar playing the most and always waited for your lead shots–always well placed and tasty. A friend of mine played a show on drums for Wayne Newton in Branson, Mo. once and when they finished, they flew to Las Vegas where my friend got to hang out with you and Roy Clark for an evening Newton show. When you introduced yourself to my friend you said “hi I’m Glen Campbell”, and he cracked up and replied “yeah like I dont know who you are!!” He said you guys were a lot of fun to be with. I just found out about the tour and would love to see you in the D.C. area–I actually live in the Va. countryside. As big a star as you’ve been over the years worldwide I bet you would be just as comfortable playing with me and my Culpeper, va. buds in one of our backyard jam sessions. God bless and keep you through your final years Glen and enjoy your tour. Rob Carlysle

Glen – After my mom died and I became a latchkey kid at 5 years old in the early 1970′s, I would listen to your songs on cassette while waiting for my dad to get home in the evening. Thank you for keeping me company. I look forward to your Huntington WV show. Thinking I might bring my dad.
