Glen Campbell Opens for The Doors | Wrecking Crew Documentary Outtake

Glen talks about how much session work meant to him. Not only did he love the music that he played as a session player but loved the camaraderie of being with the guys. In this exclusive clip from The Wrecking Crew documentary, Campbell recalls a few disastrous shows opening up for the Doors in Portland and Seattle. “I went up there and I said, ‘Where’s the band?'” recalls the singer. “They said, ‘We ain’t got no band. It’s just you and a guitar.'” Campbell said the gigs were not his most well-received, noting that the crowd didn’t exactly give him a warm reception (and oddly calling Jim Morrison “Fazel”). “When I got back to town, I said, ‘Don’t book me on no more of those. I’ll stay here and do sessions. I can make more money and enjoy it a hell of a lot more,'” he says. “I didn’t go back out either until after the TV show [The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour].” When asked about Morrison in an interview with Classicbands.com, Campbell recalled, “He was pretty well out of it the whole time. He was floating around out there wherever he lived at that time.” #TheDoors, #glencampbell #wreckingcrew
