Glen Campbell - 'Gentle On My Mind' & 'Southern Nights' LIVE on Weekend Wogan 2010

Glen Campbell was booked to come onto the last show of the first series of Weekend Wogan, May 2nd 2010. He had been booked weeks beforehand and because he was "Glen Campbell" he was asked to do four songs on the show as opposed to the three everyone else had been asked to do previously, what they were going to be was still undecided. So we get to the actual week of the show and myself and the show's producer Alan Boyd are still none the wiser as to what songs he is going to sing. He was touring the UK at the time and his management were proving rather tricky to get a hold of. Numerous emails, phone calls... nothing!
Alan, Adrian Fry (my assistant musical director) and I were starting to worry that we wouldn't have arrangements written for the 11-piece band in time for the broadcast on the Sunday. Then on the Wednesday, three days before the Saturday morning rehearsal, we finally get a message back from his management telling us two of the four songs, 'Wichita Lineman' and 'Southern Nights' and that the keys were as the originals. We went to work on those and by the Thursday night having not heard anything further from them about the other two songs, Alan made the decision that we should write one more arrangement for 'Rhinestone Cowboy' and that would be it. I would normally have had some contact with his musical director to find out things like if there were any new updated live arrangement changes that we should make compared to the originals, what guitar parts needed to be covered by my guitarist, how the songs ended etc etc. Either way, we wrote the last arrangement and would make any changes Glen wanted to make at the rehearsal on Saturday.
On the Friday afternoon, we heard from the management. They told us that Glen wasn't going to be able to make the rehearsal the next day and that he was now only going to do two numbers ('Southern Nights' and 'Gentle On My Mind') and that the band would only be needed for one of those and that he wouldn't need me to play piano (which I was gutted about) as he was going to use his own piano-player. Very tricky situation because had it not been a legend we were dealing with and it not been only a day away from the show, I'm sure the BBC would have told them who was boss. But we also made the assumption that none of this was coming from Glen Campbell himself. As it turned out, we were absolutely correct and I realise now that his entourage were protecting him from what only they knew at the time which was that he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and understandably didn't want to take unnecessary risks live on national radio.
We made the decision that, along with the rest of the show, we would go ahead without him on the Saturday morning and rehearse the arrangements we had written in the hope that when he arrived the following morning, the day of the broadcast, he (or more to the point his management!) would hear the band playing and change their minds at the last minute. Unfortunately, that wasn't to be.
On the Sunday morning at 9.30am, just 90 minutes away from the live broadcast, Glen and his entourage arrived at the Radio Theatre. There were loads of them surrounding him but when he broke free of them and walked onto the stage and put his guitar on and his piano-player started giving directions to my band, I took the opportunity to go over and introduce myself to him as the show's musical director. He was as charming as I'd hoped he would be although I could tell that something wasn't quite right. We spoke briefly about Elvis and Albert Lee and then he asked me what he was going to sing. I told him what had been decided by his management but that we had done full arrangements of 'Wichita Lineman' and 'Rhinestone Cowboy' also, to which he replied "let's do those too". He even went over to his piano-player, TJ Kuenster (who was obviously his musical director) and said "they've got charts for Wichita & Cowboy" to which TJ replied "No Glen, we're just going to do Gentle and Southern Nights". Glen shrugged his shoulders and that was that.
I screen captured Glen's performance and I'm glad I did as this, unfortunately, turned out to be his very last live appearance and interview for the BBC.
At the end of 'Southern Nights' he exclaims "WOW! WHAT A BAND!" and even though I wasn't playing, this is one of the proudest moments of my career as that was MY band he was talking about, hand-picked over many years and that was mine and Adrian's arrangement he'd just enjoyed singing to. You can see him turn round at the end as if he wanted to keep going and do another song... or two! As I say, it wasn't to be.
I knew I was meeting 'music royalty' when I met him that morning and I was in awe of him and despite his illness, he gave an incredible performance. I wish I could go back and have those two hours again but at least I have this precious recording and with it, in some ways, I'll always be able to. Hope you enjoy.

We Arkansas women were mighty proud of him too! I spent 50+ years in Hot Springs Arkansas.

I heard Ashley say Glen was struggling with Alzheimer's during the tour so she very intentionally stayed close by his side (as he was aware of his ailment and feared he'd embarrass himself during performances and interviews), but she used her presence to steady him and step into the conversation if he felt flustered or got his thoughts tangled. Very sweet. There's an old saying, "there's nobody more loyal than daddy's little girl."

[@gzhang207]

Knowing this background，you can actually see during the play Glenn regularly look at Ashely for confidence and assurance.

[@Squee_Dow]

She was watching him like a hawk. Yes, we girls are certainly loyal to our daddies. I was Daddy's caregiver for 3 1/2 years, 24/7. It was emotionally and physically draining, but I was honored to do it. Nobody would have tended to him as lovingly as I did.

Glenn performed this right after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. This was before the disease took hold of his mind. As you can clearly see he is in perfect harmony. His daughter is playing on the banjo. Isn’t this beautiful? I’ll never tire of his voice or his outstanding talent.

Amazing this immensely gifted man kept performing while stricken with Alzheimer’s. He said he had no trouble remembering lyrics or playing guitar and it actually was therapeutic. His family is to be commended for their support and love. What a beautiful legacy to relive on video.

[@aaamenpreacher3]

My pastor was 90 when he developed Alzheimer's but he could still sing hymns from memory. I grew up on Glenn's music, especially Rhinestone Cowboy.

[@djf750]

later on, he did start forgetting lyrics so they had a teleprompter help him when he did forget. He would have his daughter and son both on stage to help him. He once forgot that they had just played a song and was going to start it again and his daughter very sweetly reminded him they had already done it. VERY touching to watch him with his kids up there helping him

I loved him on the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, and I was willing to give up anything I needed to in order to be allowed to watch it.

[@NickMonteleone]

I loved Glen's music. Probably my favorite was Gentle on my mind. His daughter is beautiful and I hope she will savor these times with her father.

[@jpkaneshida242]

As an Angeleno, Glen was an LA legend as part of the equally legendary Wrecking Crew. I recall his daughter saying that in his last days, he'd play and still knew the words. There's a power in music that transcends old age and even death, and the proof is we're listening now.

"and his daughter, Ashley, a lovely blonde you can see." "here, have a biscuit."

[@leebeer9989]

He called her a lovely bairn!

There will never be another Glen Campbell. He was one of a kind.

[@philipscott18115]

Hello....Hope you're doing good and staying safe!

[@lausd3562]

God Bless his daughter, because of her we have soo much more Glen to enjoy. Thank you darling.

[@goodtimefolkrock]

[@michaellair5315]

Wogan gently glides over the questions that Glen doesn't answer with what he should. True pro

[@jimpalombo7531]

Good catch.

[@keggers101]

Terry was a true gentleman, he made it look so easy and always professional (nearly lost it a few times with the Janet and John stories 😆) . I pretty much stopped listening to radio 2 when he retired, noone has ever succeeded him

[@WalterCondi-us3im]

Wow! I just get so choked up. the way they both look at each other. She is such a daddy's girl. eyes are on him. Glen looks back at his baby girl seeing her do what he taught her. What an amazing relationship! Ashley is her fathers daughter for sure! She is a dam great picker in her own wright! Love the Campbell's RIP Sir Glen!

[@scottwalker2578]

Just watched Glenn's documentary touring with Altzhiemers ....was not a country fan being born in 1968 I was a mod then a new romantic....boy this was one of the most devastating happy confused heart felt videos I've ever sat through ....please watch

[@mrbedrock33]

Oh and case in point, Read the lyrics to " gentle on my mind" and try to remember them ( with unaffected brain). Music is a place in your brain whether you play or sing that Alzheimer's can't touch. It's a special place deep within my friends that we all posses . Music sets us free.

[@georgescarlett2320]

Yeah, I was thinkin' the same thing, and praying that he'd get through it, and he did---FIRST CLASS!!!

What a great rendition of “Southern Nights”! Made my day! Even at this late stage, Glen could lift his audience high - fabulous!

[@JASHJustASectionHiker]

What a beautiful daughter.

Glen is the very best ! no one can match Glen ever!

[@pointingdog7235]

This man had so much talent and his music has class.

[@nealixd.3011]

It's great to see these videos in his older age, where his kids appreciated his legacy and got out there playing with him.

[@sandramoore2728]

Hello Nealix

[@lylestavast7652]

An American music legend... such a great performer. It was hard to see him in his decline, but such is life - and it's OK - it adds depth to the full story of one's life... Bless his memory.

[@erickenneth1428]

Hi how are you doing.

[@paulgilliland2992]

Very emotional watching this as my mum always played his record at home and she herself sang professionally for a long time.

[@artbush3313]

Back in the late 60's my wife and I saw Glen perform at a car show in Portland, Oregon. His show was great and afterwards, behind a velvet rope he sat on a barstool, signed autographs and talked with all his fans. My wife and I were virtually the last in line and after he signed our program, he shook my hand and kissed my wife. Later that year he was named entertainer of the year. Oh the memories. Art

[@HigherPowerWorldWide]

Enjoyed watching this later performance of Glen Campbell, good seeing his children participating in the band. Great music. He is missed in this world.

[@JohnGLewis1964]

This was fun ... "Southern Nights" was one of the last of Glen's long string of hits.

[@pattistilwell7424]

Hi John how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I'm Patti from California, looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind, thank you.

[@sandramoore2728]

Hello John

[@tonybennett4922]

What a musical magician. He’s songs span every human emotion and sentiment. Such a humble human being. Rest In Peace Glen Campbell 👌

[@MountainStreamLives]

I recently constructed a list of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. “Gentle on my mind” was one of the five. I was born in 1983.

[@tonyshumaker2191]

I saw Glen perform in a show in 1979, in Amarillo Tx, along with Mel Tillis, & Willie Nelson. This may shock some people, but Glen "Stole the show", he got 3 standing ovations! Willie, & Mel did awesome, but not like Glen!

[@johnnybadillo8209]

I started listening to Glenn Cambell when I was 8yrs... When country wasn't cool, especially in San Antonio TX. However, that did not stop me. Thanks Mr Campbell you will be truly missed.
