"Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me" is directed by James Keach and produced by Trevor Albert and James Keach.
One of the stops on that large tour was Renfro Valley Entertainment Center in September 2011. (Read review here.) I was there and it was bittersweet seeing him play. It was early in that tour and he was just beginning to show the signs of Alzheimer's. Even though he had to have the words in front of him, the one thing that floored me the most is that he never forgot how to elegantly play the guitar. It was therapeutic to watch him play. At the end of the show, he did two songs for the encore with the last being "A Better Place."
Below is a preview of the film. Find out more and where it will be released at http://glencampbellmovie.com.
