    Glen Campbell is one musician I would NOT want to jam with. I mean one of the greatest lead guitar players and than he decides to become a frontman, and his voice might be even better than his guitar playing. What an absolute musical giant. RIP Glen.

    I was fortunate to be the recording engineer on the In Session series for both seasons (that's me in the control room in the grey shirt) It was an unforgettable experience. I have several photos I took backstage during breaks. Glen and Leon were a pleasure to work with. Glen had no star attitude whatsoever. Hung out with the crew at lunch. Leon was a bit more withdrawn, but a real southern gentleman. Glen also did an episode in Season 2 in 1988, with Jimmy Webb.

      Great to hear from you. The late Ian Anderson told me when they would be arriving, and where I could show up to greet them.
      I wonder why this never made it to DVD for sale to the public, and I wonder what never made it to air (what was left on the cutting room floor).
      Would you mind sharing your photos with me (sliddycoat@gmail.com)? I would love to see them.

    • @batteredup
      @batteredup 8 месяцев назад +1

      It's amazing how many hit records Leon played on in the 60s. I heard a story from a biography of Leon that some of that work he was inundated with he hated doing, like playing for Gary Lewis and the Playboys. None of them played an instrument or could read music and it drove Leon nuts. Gary's Dad Jerry had to use all his star power to get Ed Sullivan to allow his son's band to appear on his TV show. Ed didn't want them on because nobody played an instrument and he'd have to cover for him or let them lip-synch, something nobody did on Ed's show. In the end Jerry won out and Ed let them on.

    This was so darn great. Two talented musicians reminiscing about songs & times that touched their hearts, while leaving a trail of their own musical magic dust on so many hits which at the time we were hardly aware of. Through so many genre too. Some wizards should never grow old, let alone be allowed to 'Fly Away', leaving us here to shed silent tears of losses & joy. And Oh, what talent & tunes of our own life's panoramas, still echo down the line, even Gentle on our Minds. This just reminded me of how we were blessed for choice. ❤😊🎉

    Glen Campbell was the soundtrack of our summer travels. Leon Russell, I grew up in the Pearl District of Tulsa, Ok, during the 70s, about a mile from Leon's Church Studios. During the 70s Eric Clapton and George Harrison were in love with the Tulsa Sound being made with Leon and J.J. Cale, because of this they were frequently in town. Ran into Le4on, George and Eric in the health food store, they came in for some fresh yogurt, my buddy grabbed my wrist and said, "Be cool, they come in all the time, don't want to run them off", I did stare a lot thought. After graduation my buddy stopped by the Church Studio and asked Leon for a job. A week later I was at the OKC Airport, when suddenly Leon and his entourage hurried by, late for a flight. My buddy, loaded down with 5 carryon bags was hurrying to keep up, I asked Tony, "Where ya headed, he said, Europe, I got the job, I'm a roadie."

    As a child of the 60's&70's, I grew up with these two. The thing I really dislike about today's music is there's no more pickers like Glen, Roy Clark, Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, etc. There's no Leon Russell, Dr. John, Billy Preston, etc.
    If these guys came through today, the "music makers" would pat them on the head, smile benignly, and tell then to go sit in the corner and not bother anyone. They's be told to do up their hair, get leather jackets, and invest in distortion pedals.....

    Wonderful performance by all. I used to do a morning talk show in Cleveland, and Glen stopped by to promote his upcoming appearance. I got to play Gentle On My Mind with him. What a thrill for me since I’d done that song for years when I played in bars around Detroit. In my later years, I produced TV documentaries, including one on Alzheimer’s Disease. Glen was still touring, and he and his wife, Kim, sat down for an interview before his concert that night. He was still performing pretty well, but it was hard to see that incredible talent fading away.
