Summary: Glen Campbell - In Concert DVD
Review: An American icon of pop-country music is joined by a full symphony orchestra. Yes, Glen is a bit older (as is this reviewer). His homespun touch is as nice as ever however, and is a wonderful gift to those who remember his music from its first time around.
It's amazing how well this music stands the test of time. It takes us back to a period when radios sang with simple warmth and poetry....and also kindness.
Yes, Glen does a great job. He not only sings and plays well, but also takes us back to when music and people were friendy. It was an era when songs just made us feel good. Thanks, Glen, for this concert, and for being such a special part of Americana. I never tire of watching this wonderful program!

Summary: A Wonderful Performance
Review: First of all, I'm not a fan of country music; however, Campbell's prodigious talent eclipses mere musical genres. He remains a crossover artist extraordinaire. This is a wonderfully produced DVD with excellent video and sound (dolby 5.1; DTS would have been nicer but you can't have everything!). Yes, his voice isn't quite what it once was, but he remains an excellent, expressive singer and can interpret a tune with the best of them. His guitar playing is as killer as ever. If you enjoy a good performance, then this DVD is for you.

Summary: A competent performance from a great singer/performer.
Review: Glen Campbell has to be one of music's greatest crossover artists and this DVD is a great showcase of the many aspects of his prodigeous talent. From his brilliant guitar playing on such classics as "Galveston" and the very well done "Classical Gas" to his smooth delivery of great songs like "Wichita Lineman" and "Rhinestone Cowboy". Campbell is an entertainer all the way.It must be noted that Campbell's voice is no longer what it used to be. It has taken on a much greater nasal sound and he no longer hits the high notes or makes the crescendos but nonetheless his performance is very good considering his age. What he lacks in youthful delivery he makes up for with some great interpreting. A fantastic rendition of Linda Ronstadt's "Still Within the Sound of My Voice" and one of the best versions ever of "MacArthur Park" along with a lovely cover of "Time in a Bottle". These great songs along with many of his classics makes for enjoyable viewing.

Summary: Still a load of talent, but...
Review: Glen Campbell is no longer thirtysomething. He has matured and some things have changed. His voice for one. On this disc it is much more nasal than when in his prime. He just doesn't sing as well as he used to. On the other hand, he is still a gifted guitar player and an enjoyable entertainer. I passed up seeing Glen live eralier this month and bought this disc instead. From the current level of his performances, as documented on this disc... This disc is not for those wanting to hear Mr. Campbell the way he sounded on his Goodtime Hour.

Summary: What a talented guy!!
Review: Good disk. Worth the money. He does a song with his daughter! The interviews with Glen and others was also informative. I'll watch this one again soon.

Summary: Excellent !
Review: Growing up listening to Glen Campbell records in the mid to late 70's I was enamored by the beauty of the songs and the way the songs were delivered:Galveston,Wichita Lineman,THe Moons a Harsh Mistress-It was the REUNION album with Glen and Jimmy Webb(all Webb songs but 2)that the soul of Glen Campbell shown through,I wore out my copy in 77'.His singing was open,heart felt and perfect for Webb's songs.--In this concert Glen sings all the hits GAlveston,Wichita Lineman,Gentle on my mind,Rhinestone cowboy---But it is the other Webb masterpieces he really shines "The Moons a Harsh Mistress" and "Still Within the Sound of My Voice" are beautifully rendered--The other highlight is Glen's guitar playing whether it be fills during Wichita LIneman or lead during Galveston--He is a great guitarist---Observing him perform is like watching a master painter at work ,it seems effortless but that is because it is being done the right way. This DVD is worth it for all music fans---

Summary: Excellent concert for all the fans!!
Review: I borrowed this from my brother. I don't know how many times I've seen the DVD and thought about buying it. Next time I'm handing over my money. This is a first class dvd all the way.
Wonderful sounds, great stage, brilliant orchestra and the mighty fine and ever so slightly aged (but haven't we all?) Mr Campbell. I watched this concert twice in a row. Went back to hear "Classical Rock" again and then started the show again. The bagpipes were great and the songs were all memorable. Highly recommended, don't delay.

Summary: This DVD floored me! Unbelievable!
Review: I bought this disc expecting a fairly average performance from a 65 year old man. Loved him years ago and mostly bought this out of curiousity and nostalgia. I cannot believe the emotion he still puts into every song! This man should definately be up there with the greats! I haven't even mentioned his amazing guitar playing and the lush symphony backing! JUST GO AND BUY IT!!!
