Glen Campbell - Live From Torubador Cd

When Glen Campbell walked onstage at the Troubadour on West Hollywood's Sunset Strip on August, 19, 2008, he was even more iconic than the legendary venue that birthed The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Elton John, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles. A Grammy Lifetime Achievement honoree with three Grammy Hall of Fame awards for Wichita Lineman, By The Time I Get To Phoenix and Gentle on My Mind, the Arkansas-born musician thrilled the beyond capacity crowd with a mix of his hits and definition-expanding songs by his peers and contemporaries.

Performing a stunning mix of songs embedded in our DNA (Rhinestone Cowboy, Galveston) and unexpected jewels from Lou Reed (Jesus), Foo Fighters (Times Like These), Tom Petty (Walls (Circus), Angel Dream), Paul Westerberg (Sadly Beautiful) and Green Day (Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)), Campbell is in fine voice and demonstrates on more than one song his dexterity, tone and emotional transparency on guitar.

With a band that includes four of his children, session and live veterans from Beck, Jellyfish, Jane's Addiction, Murphy's Law, D Generation and Danzig, it was a night of music that explored the commonalities of genres, country-tinged arrangements and how good live music feels.

Warm, friendly, engaging, the Country Music Hall of Famer, as well as original inductee at the Musicians' Hall of Fame, shared his love of performing, family and songs with the SRO crowd.

This is the last filmed performance of Glen's career. While the performing space is so tight, the musicians are packed almost as close as the awestruck crowd, this PBS Front & Center special demonstrates why the beloved Oscar nominee was a beloved American voice - and still inspires viewers with its exuberant performances.
