“The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour”
“The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour” was a variety show on that ran from January 29, 1969, to June 13, 1972, hosted by country and pop singer Glen Campbell. The Beatles appeared on the show, but not in person; they were featured through archive footage. Specifically, in an episode aired on April 30, 1969, The Beatles were shown performing “Get Back” and “Don’t Let Me Down.” This was part of a segment where Campbell showcased guest stars, which included a diverse range of musicians and entertainers, reflecting his broad appeal across different music genres.
This collaboration or, more accurately, the juxtaposition of The Beatles on Campbell’s show was facilitated by his industry connections and the show’s format, which mixed music with comedy and featured various special guests. The show used Campbell’s hit song “Gentle on My Mind” as its theme, which further underscores his crossover appeal from country music to a more general audience, much like how The Beatles had a wide-reaching influence across genres.
