Customer Reviews Excellent box set The 4th disc of live stuff was just OK. This was a really great box set, it left me wanting even more Glen Campbell. . . I wish they had just put another disc of studio recorded songs rather than a disc of live sets. . . the older stuff is not bad but the newer recordings are not good. Overall was a great collection, although I do agree with the other reviews that the Still Within the Sound of My Voice album was underrepresented in this collection. A Rhinestone Box Set The live version of "Galveston" on disc 4 is great. This box set is a definite must have for the Glen Campbell fan. The song shows what a great combination Campbell and Web were together. . Solid If Flawed Box Set Of Pop-Country Legend A),Southern Nights and,of course,Rhinestone Cowboy)with great early flop singles(Universial Soldier,the Brian Wilson written-and-produced Guess I'm Dumb)terrific album tracks(Cryin,Reason To Believe,If This Is Love,Less Of Me,The Last Thing On My Mind,Highwayman among others)minor hits that deserved better(I Knew Jesus(Before He Was Star,Hey Little One,True Grit,Houston(I'm Comin To See You),Sunflower,Can You Fool)and everthing in between(duets with Bobbie Gentry,Anne Murray,Rita Coolidge and Steve Wariner,his 80's country hits like A Lady Like You,She's Gone,Gone,Gone and Faithless Love). The 4-CD "The Legacy(1961-2002)" box set is the first Glen Campbell collection to include all his biggest hits(Gentle On My Mind,Wichita Lineman,Galveston,Honey Come Back,It's Only Make Believe,Country Boy(You've Got Your Feet In L. The only problem is the live disc. There's some good stuff,like the ballad version of Galveston and the Beach Boys medley,but it suffers from too many run-of-the-mill performences and stilted latter-day tracks. It would have been better if they just kept it to three discs or devote all four discs to his studio recordings which are superior to live cuts. But despite this flaws and a missing songs(Oh Happy Day,See You On Sunday,the hit version of Still Within The Sound Of My Voice),this remains an essential entry into the Glen Campbell catalog. .
