"This DVD is FANTASTIC!... This is a must-have for any true Glen Campbell fan and even if you weren't a big fan before viewing this....you'll love it!...Glen's performance is TERRIFIC!... ALL of his great hits are on here and Glen is in great form not to mention his amazing guitar playing skills. During one song, "The William Tell Overture", he actually plays the guitar on his head. From the moment I put this DVD into my player, I have been unable to stop playing it. The song selections are wonderful and Glen gives an enthusiastic performance on every song which he sings with such heartfelt emotion. The resolution is exceptional along with the 5.1 dolby digital surround sound. He is backed by the brilliantly wonderful South Dakota Orchestra and this is such a pleasure to listen to. Glen Campbell is like vintage wine.....he just gets better with age. An added bonus track is "Mac Arthur Park". I don't think I have ever heard this song sung more beautifully. Get this DVD.....you won't be disappointed :) It leaves you wanting more from this GREAT entertainer."

"I received this dvd as a gift, and am writing this review as a fan who is always looking for opportunities to expose the uninitiated to great music, and a performer who excels in every respect. Glens incredible talent kept him in demand as a session musician for everyone from Sinatra to the Beach Boys. His own records are some the best ever recorded. Glen's ability to parlay country balladry with pop sensibility is unrivaled, and this live performance allows him to shine and show why so many people revere him. The excellent South Dakota Symphony join Campbell and play the gorgeous string and horn arrangements integral to his music....what an orchestra! The camera work and resolution are exceptional. This concert resonates, illuminates, and leaves you wanting more. A stunning, entertaining, soothing and unforgettable evening awaits you. Buy it today...overnight it to your door..its worth every penny!"
Excellent concert for all the fans!!

"I borrowed this from my brother. I don't know how many times I've seen the DVD and thought about buying it. Next time I'm handing over my money. This is a first class dvd all the way.
Wonderful sounds, great stage, brilliant orchestra and the mighty fine and ever so slightly aged (but haven't we all?) Mr Campbell. I watched this concert twice in a row. Went back to hear "Classical Rock" again and then started the show again. The bagpipes were great and the songs were all memorable. Highly recommended, don't delay."
Best Concert DVD Yet

"Okay, he doesn't dance like N*SYNC (he doesn't dance at all in fact) and there are no fancy props or MTV hyperactive editing, but Glen Campbell doesn't need 'em. He's one of the most finely tuned entertainers on the planet. And one of a handful of male vocalists who can actually sing! Even in his 60s, his voice is as smooth as silk and his interpretation of pop-country classics is nearly flawless. In the mid-70s, he adopted a more countrified nasal quality to his voice, which he still evokes on his country-western material. But he casts it aside on the pop stuff. His reading of "MacArthur Park" is terrific. No one has performed a better version (sorry, Sinatra). His version of "Time in a Bottle" is also spellbinding. A master on the guitar, he can play it standing on his head (the guitar that is--and he does). The bonus material is fun. My only complaint is that they should have re-edited the DVD to include the entire concert rather than leaving the cut songs (for PBS broadcast) for the special features section. Campbell is charming, relaxed, and obviously having a wonderful time. He reminds one of Bob Hope or Jack Benny with his command of the audience and delightfully unforced humor. Highly recommended and worthy of repeated viewings."
Excellent
