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 Leon was a bit more withdrawn, but a real southern gentleman.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.

[@steveliddycoat3111]

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 ([e-mail])? I would love to see them.

[@paulbrewer2374]

I was in Leon's band in 1981. He was a private person, not prone to extroversion, in other words. Leon was a good-hearted man, however. And I never heard him speak negatively of anyone.

A lot of people don’t realize probably how influential Leon was in music circles. He was a driving force for Joe Cockers Mad dogs and Englishmen tour writing the arrangements and leading the band itself. He and Glenn could sit in and play with anyone. And do it well! Thanks for posting.

[@NondescriptMammal]

Same could be said of Campbell, despite being primarily a country artist, even many rock guitar legends admired his playing and cited his influence.

[@johnwinkle9924]

Interestingly, Cocker had fired his entire band shortly before the MD&E grouping. His manager called Leon and asked if he could get a band together to do the tour, and the rest is history.

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."

Leon Russell ❤ Such a great singer & musician. Timeless. Glen surprised me, not just a country singer. What a great pairing of 2 icons.👍🏼

[@batteredup]

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.

[@lisahoogenakker6324]

Shame on me. My guitar teacher when I was 14 wanted to teach Glen; I wanted to learn Dylan.

[@bethb7965]

My dad used to sing and play Gentle on My Mind on guitar. He taught me to lay guitar when I was in 9th grade. We used to sing and play together. He's been gone 5 years, miss those days..

I'm a rock, hard rock, blues, and jazz fan who only listened to my favorite music when I was young. I'm 73 now and thank God I loosened up and realized I just like great music and talent no matter the category. This session was fantastic and worth every minute spent here. What a gem! Take care, everyone, Peace and loosen up - you'll be glad.

Two absolute giants of talent. It would blow your mind how good both of them were. Leon was so underrated by the public, but musicians knew and same goes for Glenn. He lived large and went at everything head on and full speed and pulled it off. True professionals.

[@101st_AB]

I've seen A LOT of great concerts in my 70 years here on earth, and I can honestly say when I saw Leon Russell and Willie Nelson on the same stage for a two hour concert back in the 70's my life changed for the better.

Man terrific! I lost my Dad to Alzheimer's he was the smartest man in my life! To have to watch him deteriorate for 10 years was hell. He was a WW-2 Okinawa survivor.

These two did a lot of the heavy lifting on many hits in the 60’s -too many to mention , so many they don’t even remember them . Had the pleasure to see Leon on one of his last tours with Dylan and he still had complete command . What a gem this session is especially now that they are both gone.

My first time hearing Leon Russell was on Joe Cockers Mad Dogs and Englishmen album. Shows what amazing versatility he had given Glen Campbell and Joe Cocker are poles apart in music styles.

[@markmoriarty7388]

@marionoz9980 Glen Campbell and Leon Russel have known each other for years. Both were charter members of the Wreaking Crew, astellar group of LAs 1st call session musicians back in the 60s. Both of those guys played on a lot of the big hits from that era.

[@thecollective1584]

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.....

[@johnknottenbelt2727]

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 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.

Did Glen Campbell play much lead while with Beach Boys? Either studio or on stage?

[@honeywoodpilot]

@@normsaunders4980 A little research indicates that Glen joined the Beach Boys tour after Brian's initial withdrawal from touring and indicated that Glen played bass. Also he played guitar during sessions for Pet Sounds. The only person who could accurately say what happened overall is Brian. My understanding is that Brian had TOTAL control ot the production of music back then.

@@normsaunders4980 Although written by lead guitarist Carl Wilson, it was Glen who played the lead guitar on the recording of "Dance Dance Dance", which is a great riff.

Loved Glen Campbell since I was a kid. He had a voice that made think he could make the sun shine and everything would be OK and happy. He just had the sunshine in his voice, may sound silly but it is reminsent of good sunny times.

[@MarcosDinnerstein]

You're right and it's not silly. It has to do with the brightness of his tone. A ringing quality. Gotta love it for that sunshine quality.

[@ROCKINGMAN]

@@MarcosDinnerstein Yes indeed, another was Jerry Reed, great vocal and of course guitarist.

[@jennifermaloney4166]

Agreed. First heard Glen at age 14. To this day his voice soothes my soul.❤❤

I was 18 in 1970, a friend played a song for you, it took my heart to a whole new level.

[@DanielMcGrath1969]

Wow! Glenn Campbell was amazing! What a musician!

[@davidkettell6236]

Possibly one of the greatest guitarists ever.

[@gess4170]

Possibly? He IS one of the greatest ever.

[@nathanbrewer6032]

I have heard told he was, in his time one of the top 5 guitarists in the Nation....and undoubtedly he was!

[@smadams1065]

Possibly. Him and Roy Clark.

[@kevindean1327]

He's right up there with Jerry Reed, Lester and Chester. Danny Gatton and a few others!

[@fritzcat6198]

I absolutely agree!

[@debrabeck9630]

I’ve seen them both in concert - Glen just once, Leon several times. On the surface it seems they are so different, but old friends and great artists find their commonalities and make outstanding music together. Thank you for posting this.

[@txdrmr]

Glen was a monster player, incredible vocalist, A++ writer and one of the most versatile musicians to ever walk this earth. One in a million talent. RIP.

[@richardeells3655]

Glen had both speed AND phrasing - two things you rarely find in one guitar player. And Leon was a legend! RIP, you two - jam on in that heavenly band!

[@cindyreilly5086]

Love Leon, Glen is incredible. This sessions covers all the tunes in my heart ❤️

[@clappzzz]

Wow. Incredible session, such chemistry from all those yrs together in the Wrecking Crew. And was Glenn Campbell uber talented? I have never seen another singer/guitarist with such a range of skills, vocally and instrumentally. Awesome.

[@hazegreen1896]

incredible players. Leon's feel is like no other and Glenn's no slouch.

[@rickvenlo1362]

Lucky guy you are. Lucky we are to enjoy your generous share. Thx✌️

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

What a great session. Spontaneous music by people that made the soundtracks of our lives.

[@lp7343]

Glen is the GOAT!

[@robertgranato8399]

Was lucky enough to see Leon Russell,no fan fair or big advertisement about,but I saw him in a small club portion of a casino in N. Lake Tahoe. He was great👍
