Glen Campbell & Leon Russell - Live 1983 - Gentle on my mind

[January2454]

Is there any great music in my entire lifetime that the great Leon Russell wasn't involved with in one way or another? What an amazing man; what an amazing talent. I am SO grateful to Elton John for helping get Leon the long overdue recognition he deserved by getting him inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Toronto session players Bob Mann on guitar, Rick Homme on bass, Terry Clark on drums.

This is from a tv series recorded at CHCH studios in Hamilton, Canada in December 1983. I was the recording engineer on the series, which was called "In Session" (that's me in the beige shirt.) We also taped episodes with Stevie Ray Vaughn and Albert King; Emmylou Harris with Rodney Crowell; BB King with Larry Carlton, : Johnny Winter with Dr. John. Some songs from all those shows are on Youtube already.

WoW!! Never seen these two perform. Loved it.

[jarac1357]

These two go way back. It's a pleasure to see and I wish we could see more.

[higgme1ster]

@jarac1357 They go back to at least 1965 on the sidebar SHINDIG! #22 (1965) - [3of7] Also seen on a seperate clip - JAMBALAYA - ON THE BAYOU - LEON RUSSELL - (02/03/1965) - HQ

Glen Campbell is on the Banjo.

[MonXxSuun]

Absolutely love this. Would love to see if there was a dvd of this.And it is absolutely my fave version of Gentle.. 

[kindnessnfriendship]

@motney555 I was talking about Glen but Leon is also the 'Man'! I've seen him twice...fantastic!

[kindnessnfriendship]

A studio musician with a voice like that? Can you imagine the expressions when he started to sing?

[motney555]

@kindnessnfriendship Anybody who's done any research will know that Leon was actually Elvis hence the heavy disguise

[Johng10000]

No wonder Glen was a first call studio guitar player in LA

[gaeanreach]

man i hope this whole film comes out on dvd soon.

[TheBasenjiman]

Glen's a good ole Arkansas boy.

[judecreek2]

they both look sooo different than in their video from "Shindog" in 1964! Look up "Jumbalaya" and see the difference.

[jeffa423]

@jeffa423 Have problems with my VCR - it's on an NTSC tape from USA and I'm from Europe! Bought many years ago a US video recorder but now it's broke.
