Plumplechook Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 RIP Glenn. The passing of a legend. A genuine triple-threat - terrific vocalist, performer - and amazing guitar player. Love this clip of Gentle On My Mind, with a bunch of fellow country legends in awe at Glenn's guitar solo. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ETkzK9pXMio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuckrh Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Wichita Lineman & Galveston are favorites from when I was a kid. RIP Glen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Although everyone knew it was coming, it's still very sad. Even his last album, on which he could no longer play guitar, is very good. Godspeed to the Rhinestone Cowboy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Exactly - Michael sings that song really well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Where was that REM footage taken from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I think that is from the film Rough Cut (1995). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Passenger Sid Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Love this clip of Gentle On My Mind, with a bunch of fellow country legends in awe at Glenn's guitar solo. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ETkzK9pXMio Me too. I've listened to it a number of times. Really great. The R.E.M. version is fantastic. Campbell's cover of "Ghost On The Canvas" is great as well. It's neat to hear Westerberg's emotional, spare take compared with Campbell's fully-produced, professional version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I think that is from the film Rough Cut (1995). Yep, thanks - never heard of it - looks like it's YouTube - need to check it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Yep, thanks - never heard of it - looks like it's YouTube - need to check it out. It's a b-side on "Be Mine," one of the singles from "New Adventures in Hi Fi." There's also a short video of Michael and Mike rehearsing "Galveston." I wish I could find a proper performance of this song by the band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3bl-EtPxM8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
