Glen Campbell

Overview

In a slight departure from the series' usual format, season ten launches with an archival concert by the late Glen Campbell, recorded in August 2008 at The Troubadour in West Hollywood. Campbell returned to the iconic club to perform songs from Meet Glen Campbell days before that album's release, treating the audience to a mix of Campbell standards like "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman," "Galveston," and "Rhinestone Cowboy" along with instant-classic covers of hits by U2, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Velvet Underground, The Replacements, Green Day, Foo Fighters, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and Scottish band Travis. Watching Campbell's last full live concert performance recorded, now four years since he passed in 2017, fans are reminded of the rare talent for phrasing and vocals this legend brought to whatever song he interpreted.
