Farm Aid - 1985-09-22 - Champaign, IL (AM, FM, SBD)

Today we bring you highlights of the first Farm Aid, held in Champaign, IL, 4 decades ago today.  We've used AM, FM and TV soundboard sources to bring you as much of the show as possible, so many artists that I couldn't list them all in the labels accompanying the post.  We even have Bob Dylan's appearance alongsideTom Petty.  It was, of course, Dylan's somewhat controversial comments at Live Aid that prompted Neil Young, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp to embark on this 40 year old venture known as Farm Aid that has raised almost $80 million to supoport the American family farmer.  You can donate here.

Glen Campbell - 1998-11-27 -  New Brunswick, NJ (SBD)

1998:  Tomorrow may be Thanksgiving, but we're going to get you in the Christmas spirit a little bit early!  This soundbaord recording captures Glen Campbell in New Brunswick on November 27, 1998, 26 years ago today, playing a set of holiday music, and just 1 big hit, Rhinestone Cowboy. Campbell,  during his legnedary career, released more than 70 albums, sold 45 million records and accumulated 12 Gold albums, 4 Platinum albums and 1 Double-Platinum album. He had over 80 singles charts, of which 29 made the Top 10. Nine of those reached #1 on either the Billboard Country, Hot 100 or Adult Contemporary charts.  By the way, Campbell is in great spirits during this show - its a shame the artwork made him look more like the Grinch than Santa!

Glen Campbell - 2012-06-01 - Los Angeles CA (FM)

While critical attention in 1967 was focused on the psychedelic sounds of albums such as Sgt Pepper's Loney Hearts Club Band and Surrealistic Pillow, the singles chart was still filled with breezy pop tunes and one hit wonders. Songs such as Windy by The Association, Incense and Peppermints by the Strawberry Alarm Clock, to Sir With Love by Lulu and Ode to Billy Joe all went to #1 on the Billboard charts in 1967. While he didn't reach the top spot on the charts, country legend has 2 hit singles in 1967, putiing him on the map as an artist. In April 1967, he released Gentle On My Mind, which rose to #62 on the Billboard charts. Then in Octobe, he released By The Time I Get To Phoenix, which climbed to #26 on the charts, and #2 on the Country Musioc rankings. Campbell would win 4 Grammy Awards thanks to the 2 tunes - Best Male Country Vocal performance and Best Country & Westerm Recording for Gentle on My Mind, and Best Vocal Performance male and Best Comtemporary Vocal Performance for By The Time I Get To Phoenix. This FM broadcast captures Cambell 45 years after his huge breakthrough, on what would be his final tour due to the debilitating effects of Alzheimers, on June 1, 2012, a decade ago today.  The set list includes the tune that started it all in 1967, Gentle On My Mind.

Glen Campbell -  1985-03-02 - Greensboro, NC (FM)

To kick off our March Theme of Concerts from the 1980s, I though we'd pay tribute to Glen Campbell, whose 50 year musical career unfortunately has ended due to Alzheimer's disease, a condition which may soon also take him from this earth. Campbell released more than 70 albums, sold 45 million records and accumulated 12 Gold albums, 4 Platinum albums and 1 Double-Platinum album. He had over 80 singles charts, of which 29 made the Top 10.  Nine of those reached #1 on either the Billboard Country, Hot 100 or Adult Contemporary charts. We pay tribute to this legend with this soundboard recording from March 2, 1985, 31 years ago today, and wish him and his family Godspeed.
