Thanks Mike! That's great. Very interesting to watch.
You know, the thing is, Glen isn't always the most reliable source when it comes to questions like "did he or did he not play on that record" or "how high did that record chart". And as far as I'm concerned, he doesn't have to be. He had such an amazing career, anybody would have a hard time keeping track of what he did.

For instance, when he says here that his live album, recorded at the Garden State Art Center in Holmsdale, New Jersey debuted at number 1 on the country charts AND the pop charts, that's not correct. Peak position on the country charts was number 2 and peak position on the pop charts was number 13. And 5 albums in the top 10 of the pop albums charts is not possible either since only 3 albums ever reached the top 10. That is also why, even if he told someone he was not on Country Gold (the Customtone album), I think there is still room for the possibility that he DID play on it. He might have forgotten, or might have other reasons to deny his involvement with that recording.

So, that is why I really would like to find out if his claim that he had 8 albums in the country albums top 10 at one time is true or not... It's difficult to verify though, but I will try!

That's another very impressive feat Mike. I will try to confirm it!

Sounds like a good album Cowpoke. I will see if I can get it on Amazon.
I love the fact that Galveston pushed it off the top.
Cowpoke, didn't Glen say that he had 8 of the top 10 albums on the country charts at one point in an interview with Ralf Emery I saw a few weeks ago. That sounds like a great feat also.

New article about the original Wichita Lineman album:

"It stayed at the summit [of the country album charts] for an amazing 20 weeks, became the only one of his albums to be certified double platinum in the US — and when the album’s reign finally came to an end in April 1969, the record that replaced it was…Campbell’s next album, ‘Galveston."

Hi Cowpoke, I forgot to mention that the stage setup was the same. I did notice however this stage format was used by other artists during the same period.

Hi Cowpoke,
This is a strange one, because I always thought the same. But while going through my stuff the other day I found a DVD in a plastic wallet which stated Glen Campbell show 1973. This was sent to me by a fan a while ago. I had watched it at the time but had forgotten that this was the show from which the clip was taken.
The show was called "An Evening with Glen Campbell". Glen, starts with his opening song as on the Live at New Jersey concert "More/There's a place for us" eventually he walks from the platform to the steps and starts to sing Phoenix.
Near the end of the show he explains that they will be coming back later in the year to do a series of shows. The music show was in 1975 and you can see Glen has slightly longer hair which is not as pristine as the 1973 show.

Really I have zero problems with what she said. I may disagree with what she said about taking him to Arkansas but her heart seems in the right place. I agree one of the best if not the best ever and that's strong!!
