    There may never be a prestigious group of musicians of their caliber again. All working together it was truly magnificent.

    The best musicians in the industry are the session players. I have worked with a few and have delighted in the experience. I wish I could've worked with Glen.

    He's got some humility. He was one of the most capable variety show hosts ever. He was the host, an act, and could have been the entire show if he wanted to. We would watch him every Sunday without fail, us clan of fussy New Yorkers.

    He said he went on the Summers Brothers Smother Show.
    I believe he's referring to the Smothers Brothers Summer Show.
    Who knowns, maybe he didn't have a slip of the tongue and that's what they jokingly called their summer show.
    Either way, I Loved this guy as a guitarist. What an awesome talent he was.
    As were the entire Wrecking Crew.
    Thank you Mr. Tedesco for telling you're amazing Fathers story and introducing us to these great musicians who outside of the business were unknown to the general public.
    It wasn't until the Beatles broke up and George Harrison and John Lennon started using some of these guys on their solo recordings that I came to know some of their names.
    The biggest hit makers of all time. The Wrecking Crew.
    RIP to those members who we've lost because the world will never see their likes again

      No. Tommy Smothers named their summer show the Summer Brothers Smothers Show and they did not perform on it. Later became the Goodtime Hour.

  • @hibob418

    I remember hearing or reading a story that Glen had made a solo album or two for Capitol, and they hadn’t done much. Then the suits we’re having a meeting to decide who they were going to drop from the roster, and when they got to Glen, they were on the fence as to keep him or let him go, and one of the guys at the table just said, “look, Glen’s got talent.”
    They kept him, and the next record took off.
    He was a natural, and pretty much had it all. RIP

    Glen moonlighted as a top-rated network TV star and had a little side gig as an internationally acclaimed multi-platinum recording artist but dang it if he didn't love his day job -- a strumming and a picking along to other people's songs -- best of all. :)

    Just a comment on Glen opening for the Doors. You might think he was out of his league. The truth is, at the time, he was already an established, virtuoso professional. And Robbie Kreiger was a lucky newbie who had only been playing guitar for 6 months when they first formed.

    • @srvbh
      @srvbh 7 років тому +3

      The Regular Smother's Brothers show went on hiatus during at least one summer, and Campbell sort of took over and did the show during that time. I think that name was their way of letting the world know it was still Tommy and Dickey's show, with Glen as temporary host.

    @geraldobrien7323 7 років тому +8

    Looking back on his career, I think he should've really exploited his guitar skills the way Jimmy Page, another 1960s session musician, did. He's a brilliant guitarist, but I think the general public thinks of him as a crooner.

  • @busterbiloxi3833

    So, do you think he could make more money doing studio work?

    • @joeschembrie9450
      @joeschembrie9450 2 роки тому +1

      He mentions a hundred dollars a session, which is about seven hundred dollars in today's money. Do four sessions a day, and that's almost $3000 a day, $15,000 a week, $750,000 a year. He probably made more money as an 'artist,' but the money you make as a top studio musician is very good, plus like he says there are big lifestyle advantages because you're not on the road and you're hanging out with a great group of people.
