5.0 out of 5 stars Glen Campbell's Singing + His Guitar Artistry + A Fine Orchestra = Something Very Beautiful!!!

My dear wife gave me this concert for our anniversary. Simply put---I love it! I love good guitar playing, whether it is the classical guitar of Julian Bream, the jazz guitar of George Benson, or the first rate playing of Glen Campbell. This concert has so much to offer.

First, the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra is very good. An orchestra really rounds out the kind of songs that Mr. Campbell performs. I love the string section of an orchestra. They add such beauty to his performance of "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." That performance is truly beautiful!

He performs the "William Tell Overture." He tells of being a little boy and seeing The Lone Ranger in a movie theatre in Arkansas. He said that Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels were his first Western movie heroes. As he says, "They were really something." While I am significantly younger than Mr. Campbell, I totally agree with him. I loved The Lone Ranger as a little boy. To this day I love the "William Tell Overture." It is definitely one of my favorite musical compositions. I can't listen to it and not smile. He plays it on the guitar with the orchestra. It is wonderful!

He performs many of his popular songs: "Wichita Lineman," "Gentle on My Mind," "Rhinestone Cowboy," and "Galveston."

If you like Glen Campbell, then this concert is a must. It is wonderful, and I expect to watch it over and over again. I suspect you will too.

Glen Campbell is one of the most talented singers and guitar players in the world. His performance is captivating and I have watched the DVD over and over. Even in his 60s, his voice is smooth, with perfect pitch and his interpretation of pop-country classics is flawless. His interpretation of Jimmy Webb songs is unprecedented. His rendition of MacArthur Park, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, It's Only Make Believe, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Still Within the Sound of My Voice, Rhinestone Cowboy, etc. are fantastic. My only complaint is the Taiwan captions on the DVD that I found to be distracting. Glen Campbell is charming, relaxed, and puts so much emotion in each song he sings. I liked the duets he sang with his daughter, Debby Campbell. Highly recommended, a must have and worthy of repeated viewings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect DVD for all Glen Campbell Fans

Since purchasing this DVD I am reliving all my favorits songs by Glen Campbell. It is a must for all die hard Glen Campbell fans. I also bought the CD from this concert so I can listen to it in my car. Glen still looks great considering all the hardships he has gone through. I have found that I like his new renditions of some of his classics better than the original record. My favorite is "Wichita Lineman". He does an outstanding job on "MaCarthur Park" and I have fallen in love with the song "Still Within The Sound of my Voice". I have played this DVD over and over again and will continue to do so until I wear it out!!! I hope to see Glen perform live for the first time this coming Sept. in Bowling Green, Kentucky and listen to him sing all his great hits.

I love this DVD of Glen Campbell in concert with the South Dakota Orchestra. Glen sings so many of his greatest songs plus many more. His guitar playing is outstanding! I only wish I'd gotten this DVD years ago when it was first available. Anyone who loves Glen Campbell's music will treasure this DVD - I do. It's wonderful watching him perform. I was able to purchase a used copy of this DVD, and it's in excellent condition. His version of "Since I Fell for You" is beautiful. You are missed, Glen Campbell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Concert: Live or DVD
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2007

I recently attended a concert with Glen Campbell and the Austin Symphony Orchestra. It was fantastic and I wished it was being recorded on DVD. I discovered that a similar concert with the South Dakota Symphony was available on DVD and I found the two performances to be highly similar and enjoyable. Now I can relive the experience whenever I want. All the songs have beautiful arrangements but a few especially stand out due to Glen's guitar mastery, notably the William Tell Overature, Galveston, and Classical Gas. My personal favorites include his rendition of Let It Be Me with his daughter Debbie and his solo of It's Only Make Believe. My day isn't complete without watching him play the bagpipes and sing Amazing Grace. It is hard to imagine a performance that is simultaneously stimulating and relaxing but Glen has pulled it off.

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2017
I had not seen this until it was released on dvd. Glen Campbell had not had a hit in awhile. But he still put on a great live show. He did his hits like Wichita Lineman abd Rhinestone Cowboy and Southern Nights and Galveston with a blistering lead guitar solo. Instrumentals like The William Tell Overture and Classical Gas. And played the bagpipes on his closing song Amazing Grace. In my opinion there ar entertainers. Then there is Glen Campbell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Die beste Live DVD von Glen Campbell
Reviewed in Germany on June 29, 2020
Verified Purchase
Glen Campbell- In Concert ist die beste bisher erschienene Live DVD von Glen Campbell. Aufgenommen wurde dieses fantastische Konzert 2001, in South Dakota (Sioux Falls). Zu sehen und zu hören ist ein Glen Campbell in Bestform, unterstützt durch das South Dakota Symphonieorchester. Was die Titelauswahl betrifft sind alle bekannten Hits wie „Gentle On My Mind“, „Wichita Lineman“, „Galveston“ oder „Southern Nights“ mit dabei. Campbells Stimme klingt auf dieser DVD besser als je zuvor, obwohl der Interpret zum Aufnahmezeitpunkt bereits über 60 Jahre alt war. Noch beeindruckender ist nur noch Campbells Gitarrenspiel. Dabei stechen vor allem die Instrumentaltitel „Classical Gas“ und „The William Tell Overture“ hervor, gefolgt von beeindruckenden Gitarrensoli in „Galveston“ und „Try a Little Kindness“, in welchen er unter Beweis stellt, warum er zu einer der besten Gitarristen der Welt gehörte. Als Bonusmaterial bietet die DVD eine kurze Dokumentation über das Konzert, sowie eine Fotosammlung und Kurzbiografie samt einer Auflistung der erfolgreichsten Songs. Technisch bietet die DVD Dolby 2.0 Stereo und 5.1 Surround.

Zusammengefasst ist DVD trotz des mittlerweile sehr hohen Preises, für alle Glen Campbell Fans und die, die es noch werden möchten, bestens geeignet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the Best. Simple as That!

Without a shadow of doubt this is the best concert Video/DVD that I have ever seen by anybody!
It was recorded last year by PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) the equivalant of the UKs BBC in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and features Glen backed by the superb South Dakota Symphony Orchestra and his own excellent Goodtime Band.
It would seem that nothing was spared to make this concert the best that money can buy because everything about it is sheer class.
From the multitude of different camera angles of Glen, the audience and the Orchestra, to the magnificent Washington Pavilion of Arts and Sciences where the concert took place.
At 66 years old Glen shows he's still one of the very best singers and guitar players in the world with a truely awsome 'set' featuring a wonderful cross section of his many hits, some not so well known songs and his trademark dazzling guitar playing.
Two concerts were recorded over 2 days featuring some different songs and the best of the bunch were 'aired' in a one hour concert special by PBS last year.
Nothing is lost here at all because the numbers that were not shown on the TV programme are featured on that DVD as 'bonus tracks' which is a very nice touch indeed.
Other 'bonus' features are 'The Making of Glen Campbell in Concert' that give a great insight to both Glen, his daughter Debbie (who joins her dad on stage for a couple of numbers) and The Goodtime Band with some interesting interviews. (Did you know for instance that Glen Campbell can talk like Donald Duck? Well, he can!)
An outstanding performance by one of the worlds finest musicians complimented by absolutely fantastic audio and picture quality make this a 'must' for all music lovers.

Lots of Glen Campbell concerts out there on dvd, but this is the one that i will revisit over and over again. Glen is backed by a full orchestra which really brings to life his evergreen songs. He sounds as good if not better than when he was a younger man and he plays guitar and bagpipes with ease. There a couple of nice duets with daughter debbie too. A pleasure to listen to. Highly recommended.
