4.0 out of 5 stars
great time capsule ....great songs , legendary performers!,
By
This review is from: Glen Campbell: Good Times Again (DVD)
This is a fabulous hour well spent enjoying some terrific songs and performances and Glen (in current day interviews) intros many of the songs.
The other reviewer moaned about what ISN'T on this DVD....but frankly..for $15 I feel I got a LOT more than my monies worth and I will watch this over and over....goodness. Glen could sure play guitar and his guests? The Ricky Nelson clip alone is wonderful...and that leaves Ray Charles, Willie Nelson , Roger Miller, Ann Murray, Cher, Linda Ronstadt, The Smothers Brothers, BJ Thomas, Johnny Cash and lets not forget the late great writer of "Gentle On My Mind" John Hartford....doesn't sound like much to complain about...and I'm not....this is wonderful.

Really brings back the Goodtime Hour!,
By
This review is from: Glen Campbell: Good Times Again (DVD)
If you're old enough to remember the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour on late 60s/early 70s prime-time television, you won't want to miss this. The musical clips are a combination of duets (with the likes of Rick Nelson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Anne Murray & Ray Charles) and solo efforts. Colour and sound throughout are both excellent, as are the performances. It's enough to make you yearn for the days of prime-time television variety.

Wonderful highlights from the guy who is still singing!,

This review is from: Glen Campbell: Good Times Again (DVD)
A few months ago Glen Campbell released a fabulous new CD (Meet Glen Campbell) with current rock songs done "the Glen way". (See my review elsewhere on Amazon).
Now the folks at Time-Life have released a single DVD of performances from Campbell's 1960s TV show. What a delightful hour! (It apparently also aired in public TV stations during the year but never appeared in my local market.). Similar to the great 2-DVD set which Sony released of the "Best of the Johnny Cash TV Show", this set focuses on duets which Campbell did during the show's run. There's Glen and Roger Miller, Glen and a very young Linda Ronstadt, and, yes, Glen and Johnny Cash! The duet with Cher is priceless (on an old Sonny & Cher version of Bob Dylan's "All I Really Wanna Do". And there is very little available footage of Willie Nelson with his short hair (and jacket and tie!). New video of Glen introducing each performance is a great idea and, as a bonus, there is a 15-minute interview with him (where he has his guitar handy to demonstrate a few of the answers he gives). The 72-year-old Campbell still looks great! The Good Times Hour was produced by Tom Smothers (of the Smothers Brothers) and he give the show an edge in the comedy writing and direction. It's a shame there is only an hour of material here. There must be so much more in the Campbell-owned archive. We can only hope for a Volume 2 (and 3? And 4?). The quality of the print is great too! If you own the Cash TV show DVD, grab this one to put next to it on your DVD shelf. Steve Ramm "Anything Phonographic"
