Smiling here, too. Randy, this video made my week!
If is still difficult for me to understand even now, almost five years after the Glen Campbell Goodbye Tour ended, why there was a small contingent of fans (HK and a few others) who were extremely inflammatory in their posts on the now defunct Glen Campbell forum (see archives) about Glen's family allowing him to tour for one last time after his Alzheimer's diagnosis. Of course, for every glorious moment Glen had on stage (as seen in this Phoenix video), he had some not-so-glorious moments. Looking back at the tour now, I am so happy for him and grateful to his family that Glen was allowed these last grand moments to perform and enjoy doing what he loved. It was moments like the one seen in the video Randy posted that led to the film, I'll Be Me, which is still being screened after its theatrical premiere in 2014. The tour and the film set the benchmark for hope for people with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers.
Jimmy Webb, quoted in a recent article, summed up Glen on the Goodbye Tour by simply saying,
Thanks again, Randy.
P.S. Also, on the same channel that uploaded the ACM Honors Tribute to Glen Campbell, "Galveston" and "MacArthur Park" videos are available from the same honors show. Super quality, too.
Love watching these three videos: maybe the best tribute to Glen Campbell ever?
