- EDIT: Look at that beard. Heck yeah.
Anywho, after enough time I've actually gathered the names of everyone sitting with Glen here thanks to all the awesome people in the comments!
From left to right, The Host - Michael Parkinson, The Legend - Glen Campbell, The Comedy Writer - Jeremy Lloyd, The Comedian - Billy Connolly
Really a solid group of guests who, to the surprise of some, actually have some pretty great chemistry! I can definitely recommend watching the full interview linked in this description, a second episode of the show with all of them would've been awesome!
Really, thanks for watching, talking with fellow Glen fans in the comments has been great!
Original Description:
So this definitely isn't my normal kind of upload, and I'll definitely be back on something more my style tomorrow, but this performance from Glen has been living in my head completely rent-free for nearly a month now, and the video I found it on doesn't even mention that he played these things in the title, and if you ask me this is the star of the show right here, not the performance of Rhinestone Cowboy he did with an entire band, this is where it is at man, just Glen and his guitar. I love it so much, check out that near impeccable hybrid picking, or the amazing little triad licks he does, or a certain little Jerry Reed lick you might recognize from another certain little banger of Glen's, also a little bit of jump cuts because why not to capture the humor of this little talk show thing, I really recommend watching the full thing if you find yourself enjoying this as much as I did, it's a nice little talk show thing and they talk about some neat stuff, just wish they talked more about how he learned guitar, getting into gypsy jazz and discovering Django as his guitar master, but whaddya gonna do!
We still got just Glen and his guitar! It's always either in the church or on a british broadcast like this lol
Welp, I think I've rambled enough for this, editing this made me think what if I did more CZcams nonsense with Glen to capture more of his comedic side, idk, that's for another day, let's just enjoy this great little thing for now.
Also, what the heck is that solo from anyways?!? Kinda sounds like Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me, but I think I would recognize it more if that was the case, because man, is that a hell of a song.
Love it.
Oh yeah, here's this link to the original video lol: • Glen Campbell Sings "R...
From the distant year 1981.
Love ya Glen.
Glenn Campbell may be the most under-appreciated guitarist in pop history.
Well not really among people who know music. He is considered a great. Before his singing career he was in high demand as a musician and played on close to 1000 studio recordings from about every art you could name from the 60s. From Bing Crosby to Elvis to the beach boys, the Beatles,
Incredible guitar player.
I’m sorry but that accolade goes to Rory Gallagher.
@@marcelboogaard3809
Well it's ok for you to have your opinion but he has not received that accolade at all. He's numer sixty something in R/S list of guitar greats
@@chasermalloy7406 exactly my case. Should be in the top 10. Glenn is a great guitarist but is more seen as a singer songwriter.
Glen sounded great with a band, an orchestra, but as for me, I could listen to this man and his acoustic guitar for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.
YESS
It makes sifting through old british morning shows to find these gems so worth it, just a performance here and there they let him do without a band, AHH, I can never get enough of it. I love this stuff.
Hope I can find some more dangit! Pickings just keep getting slimmer and slimmer!
Thanks for watching
He was a FANTASTIC performer; such a nice man too.
I agree, absolutely… In fact as I listened to this, it dawned on me that listening to him with just his voice and guitar had the same impact as listening to someone else play with a band….flawles…. unbelievable talent
Man I teared up. Gets me all the time.
God’s gift to us was Glen’s talent !
Glenn Campbell was a true musical legend!
"When God was giving out talent, Glen Campbell got in line twice" - Willie Nelson
That's an awesome quote! Can't believe I've never heard it before!
It's true though.
Back when musical talent mattered
Such a talent with a beautiful voice
One of the best ever, not only in country, but of any genre
I started learning the piano over 40 years ago at the age of seven. I have won prizes in music competitions. I have a music degree and studied music all my life. I am not easily impressed.
I am sitting here impressed.
You check out his beast of a MacArthur Park performance, if there's one song that demonstrates Jimmy Webb and Glen Campbell's musical genius it's that amazing song.
SO MANY KEY CHANGES
Heck, Glen's music can get quite complicated!
I'm an old heavy rocker at heart but, "Southern Nights" by Glen is a masterpiece of song writing.
Glen Campbell is easily an axe God as well as a music legend. R. I. P.
Great voice and one of the worlds greatest guitarists!
Genius, self taught guitarist and the voice of an angel.
Absolutely perfect and he makes it look effortless! True talent.
The music just pours out of this man. His playing and singing is so natural and effortless. It's like he was born to it--which I guess he was.
Unparalleled genius. Great voice, brilliant guitarist.
As much as we all love Jimi, Stevie Ray and so many others, it isn't until you watch a Glen Campbell or a Tommy Emmanuel that you realize virtuosity comes in many forms.
Yes.. I agree... And not to forget a great friend of Glen's.... Roy Clark
don't forget Allan Holdsworth, Chet Atkins, Lenny Breau, and many many others
Glen Campbell and Roy Clark both masters of their craft under appreciated thru time
Merle Haggard once said that if God ever gave one man too much talent, it would be Glen Campbell. I don't think anyone ever disputed that. He could do guitar, bass, banjo, bagpipes, and many other things that most people don't know about.
When I first heard him on bagpipes a couple of years ago I literally jumped off the couch!!! Lol
So glad I read your comment. I knew someone had made that remark about Glen but couldn't remember who. Thanks for the reminder. 😉
I actually found myself applauding at the end. Magical. How can one person be blessed with so much talent .... virtuoso guitarist and sing like an angel?
Awesome performance. Also talent does also include practice, practice.
@@jamieukulele I could have practiced 8 hours a day for 50 years and I can assure you I still wouldn't have been able to sing and play the guitar like Glen Campbell.
His buddy Jerry Reed wrote that song
How many artists of today's generation if they appear on a talkshow.if you asked them to sing could do this with one guitar. Glenn was such a talented man and sure he was not perfect at times in life but even just before he was called home he was performing with his daughter and the voice and enthusiasm was still there.
Hmmm, I can't think of a modern, contemporary singer/guitarist who could possibly do something like this, not a chance! .
@@501sqn3 here is a little triva on Glenn he was part of captiol records wrecking crew this was a group of artists who did background music on many different songs. One I knew of was frank Sinatra when he recorded. Strangers in the night. Also Glen was a fill in with the beach boys for a short time I think it was during time that Brian had stopped performing. Glen was such a versatile artist that could play classical to Spanish guitar and his collaboration with Jimmy Webb produced many of well known songs. And even through he had a wild times during the Tanya tucker Era. And certain times he had a little trouble. He never lost his moral background from his being brought up in good faith and family.
What a talent this man was. He could've just sang and been rich and famous or been rich and famous just playing guitar as the session guitarist, but he was both!! The man , the legion ,Glen Campbell! RIP Glen.
Absolutely one of the most gifted talent ever. I love this clip. Just grabs a guitar and sounds like a polished recording. No digital assistance to make him sound talented like so many of today’s artists. Glen was just pure talent
Astoundingly gifted Guitarist. Campbell was a supremely talented musician.
One of the most underrated guitarist period. He can play like Chet Akins, Joe Pass and he can sing at the same time!
not underrated, but great indeed. Lindsay Buckingham is underrated
Amazing video of Glen’s versatility of his guitar playing. Thanks for posting!
Seriously... how good was Glen. Possibly one of the greatest guitar players in the world the man was just class. Never be another Glen.
Not so possibly, he was the best.
he and roy clark two of the great ones !
Don’t forget Merle and Chet
Wow! What awesome guitar playing. He could play just about anything. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻😊
Thanks for watching and commenting man! It’s why I do it! I really love the solo he plays here, one of my least favorite Jerry Reed songs (tho that’s a high bar!!) but he nailed it, absolutely perfect, you can really tell he used to be a studio musician, never overdoes it, never underdoes it, I swear, I love him.
I think I can identify him playing on records just by hearing his hand tone at this point lol
He is surely ,one of the best of the 60s and 70s ! Surely missed and unappreciated!
Listen to that God given voice he sounds as if he has the greatest acoustics inside his mouth what a brilliant musician performer he was.
One of the greats R.I.P Glenn Campbell.
Wow. I've never seen this. Glen Campbell was just a pure talent. He makes it look so easy.
Even the most accomplished guitar players over the last 30 years are amazed at his skill and diversity of genres!
Exactly he was like the guitarist's guitarist. I don't know why people keep saying he was underrated. Alice Cooper and Glen were very close friends and he said that some great guitarists from major rock bands used to ask him if they thought he could get some time with Glen to see if he could help improve their guitar work !
His tie is done impeccably.
Genius, is the only word that can describe this wonderful man. Sadly missed but not forgotten through his music and videos
NOW THATS REAL TALENT!!!
Anyone who can play an Ovation guitar while sitting deserves a lot of respect.
@BreatheScotland Yup, they are made to be played while standing.
Truer words were never spoke!
Im a die hard rocknroll & blues nut but theres something about Glen thats mysteriously awesome. RIP.
Don't worry - rock and blues musicians love Glen too ! Alice Cooper and glen were really close and spent a lot of time together. He said major rock guitarists used to ask him if he could get Glen to see if he could help them improve.
What an incredible talent.
What a guitar player, I never realised he was that good. RIP.
Find a clip of him playing the William Tell Overture on a 12 string, it will change your perspective from "good" to "great!!".
Guitar was his original toe in the door winning awards as a kid. He toured 30 years with bands that names ending in “Good old boys” before he kicked Galveston through the posts.
His guitar accompaniment sounds better than a full orchestra when he sings. He is the best guitarist in country-western, rock n roll, and pop music. Great singer too. He was an American Treasure.
Glenn's voice and playing on this are incredible.. He is an amazing talent to watch anytime...🤗🎶🎙🎸🎵
Glen was a superb guitarist,one of the very best. A member of the world famous Wrecking Crew studio session musicians who featured on literally hundreds of smash hits.
Glen is brilliant, always remember Billy Connolly saying and you wanted me to play alongside him, noooo, I know my place.
Yeah, I freaking love him, I was amazed to find he was Mr. Moore's replacement when he left Head of the Class, but oh my gosh is he just the perfect loveable snarky intelligent replacement.
Love Billy Connolly, and I didn't even know about him when I posted this video!
One of the greatest talents of all time!
I can't remember who said it but the best ever description of Glen Campbell is that "he had way too much talent for one man" So true.
RIP Glen x
Merle Haggard. Glen Campbell sure was a phenomenal talent!
@@SuperGForce01 thank you! 😊
"If there was ever a man given too much talent, it was Glen."
Merle Haggard can be seen saying this on "Galveston, live at the CMA's." More great work on the Strat👌
@@1223baddad appreciated, thank you 😊
One of the greatest pickers . Guy was gifted
Yea, and hit all those notes without using a thumb pick !
They don't make artists like this anymore... RIP Glen ❤️
So many folks never knew Glenn was a virtuoso thinking he was another product like the Monkeys and not that half the hits of 50s and 60’s Glenn comping with his meticulously perfect hybrid picking technique.
He was true great like Roy Clarke, Merle Travis, Chet, Howard Roberts, Barney, Tommy T, and all the Seesion players of the Era.
He was 30 year overnight sensation; he’d been in the road as a pro that ling before he hit gold with Webs masterpieces in in the 60’s Galveston and Linesman might be the finest Popular Songs of all time, aside from not becoming Standards for the Jazz guys to blow over.
He was that undeniably good.
There are many great guitar players on YT but they lack what this man is demonstrating here. Pure soul and passion for the instrument.
Wow...he just picks up the guitar ...play some really fancy chord arrangements to a "simple" tune/melody...sings it like it should be on a record( wich it should) in tune & pitch perfect voice..throwin in some really exquisite little solo riddles, baffling everyone there on stage and the public...and it's all there; the sound..or should I say.... The Sound...he's got it!! The man could play a little on that sixstring!!!
Billy Connolly is an accomplished musician and you can tell he recognizes he is in the presence of someone special
I loved Billy in the full interview lol, honestly kinda makes me want to check him out some more! Seems like a lot of people in the comments know who Billy especially is!
That may be for good reason!
Thanks for watching man!
@@thegloobster
Although mostly known as a comedian. Billy Connolly was half a recording duo in the 60's with the other half being Gerry Rafferty who went on to form Steelers Wheel & the classic recording "Stuck In The Middle".
@@peach495 Omg. I didn’t know that. I recognized his face and had seen him in talk show stuff but I did not know he was the man behind the song I just learned this year!!! Lol. Cool fact
@@pauladouglass9456
You may have misunderstood. He wasn't involved with "Stuck In Th Middle". He recorded with the guy (Gerry Rafferty) on previous recordings before Raffety recorded that classic.
@@thegloobster I would love to see the full interview! Have you posted it anywhere? Many thanks for this upload!
Great playing. Never realised how accomplished he was.
His guitar playing was incredible.
That ovation sounds awesome.
Yes they were iconic acoustics of that era.. based on a helicopter design if I'm not mistaken
Doesn't it just!. I think that is the 'Signature' model that Ovation made for him?. But to be honest if he was playing an old catalogue banana box special from the early 70's, it would still have been outstanding!. 👍
@@jupitorious7925 ovation needs to go back to the indestructible aluminum necks and give them stainless steel frets and carbon fiber tops. That would be an awesome guitar.
Man I miss Glen. What a gem he was
He never ceases to amaze us !!!🙏
Glen Campbell IS the best guitarist in history.
The best I have ever seen,not many come close
Allan Holdsworth
He is one of the greatest most talented people
Complete master - One of the very finest.
Wow!
What a talent....Miss you Glenn....
sad thing is i never knew he could pick as good as he did 'till he was gone. but he as long as i got the internet i can jam on his groove anytime i want. thanks for postin.
Same here mate only dicovered him while we were on lockdown i knew who he was but didnt no how multi talented absolute gem.on guitar 👍
@@davidgarratt3508 yeah all of my teens and 15 plus years of my adult life was about heavy metal for the most part and sometimes the "outlaws" of country music so i didn't bother with anyone who had class AND talent like so many in country music posses.
My 1st concert was Glen, my mom loved him and took me and my aunt to see him at The Hartford Civic Center, it was also the 1st concert ever held there. Glen was amazing.
Did Glen Campbell ever formally record "A Thing Called Love"? This video proves he could have done so perfectly in a single take; his talent is off the charts!
yes he did
Glen Campbell’s talent was in the background of so many music scores and bands he was a fantastic musician and writer and is greatly missed
But he couldn’t read a note. Didn’t need to. He’d hear it and play it. Like a lot of session guy whose talent was invention not pretension.
@@Steve-cs8nd his story about filling in with the beachboys was a beauty
Glen was super natural!! What talent!
rip glen what a voice he sinning with the angels now
Nah! He's plucking up there in one of the greatest guitar jams of all time with ol' Jerry, Chet, Merle, and his guitar idol, Django Reinhardt!
That would be a really weird blend of styles lol, I wanna hear it! Glen did always figure he'd be a guitar player, he never thought he'd be known for his singing of all things! Interesting how things go.
Welp! He's phenomenal at both! What can I say!
Thanks for commenting!
Awesome and irreplaceable self taught guitar genius. Thank you so much for sharing this on CZcams 👍🙂🎸
He doesn't miss a beat. Great vocalist and guitar player. Glen Campbell in his prime.
Fabulous 👌
Lordy Lord. Truly a Maestro
If you've not already seen it, look up Glen playing Gentle on my Mind with an absolutely sublime guitar solo.
I've seen it and you're right
Enjoyed watching this performance broadcast on BBC again. That lil guitar solo was Glen's improvisation at his best, this and that, favorite bits plus the Jerry Reed guitar lick.
It really is the best, such a great talent in so many ways.
@@thegloobster So true! I miss him. BTW, here is Glen's recording of "Blues My Naughty...." and it includes the Jerry Reed bit! Glen claimed it took him 3 months to learn Jerry's riff on guitar...and I seriously doubt that! czcams.com/video/XRZRNClCQWI/video.html
@@BringBackMyYesterdaybyDee Ahh, yes! Such a jam of a song! Incredible vocal performance, man is it fast, I know I can never get it quite right! I may talk about the full album at some point on this channel honestly, I really love it, even own it on vinyl! Actually it's wasn't even meant to be sold, it was used as a promotional record from the seems of it, which just makes it awesome, not sure how it ended up in my hands!
Also, I can't believe it took him 3 months, he had already learned a bunch of Django records and everything at that point, and I don't even think it's THAT crazy of a lick! Not like it's some sort of Polyphia Tim Henson lick, alright! Enough rambling lol, love it!
Glenn was one of the people that had the gift.
For Christmas I got most of the wrecking Crew stuff. Any way I read about Glenn. He was so talented that he was playing live on stage at a very early age. They called him a prodigy in his early very early years.
@@TM-jo4wz Yes! Here's something few people know from his biography, he played with the original country star HANK WILLIAMS on a radio show when he was only 9 years old!!! Crazy! It'd be awesome to find a recording of that show man...
Incredible, guitar player … and what a voice !
What a great solo
wow, first time seeing this, and I thought I had seen all the Glen videos. what a talent. nobody should be allowed to have this much talent at the same time but he sure did.
Hah! I remember being in that position! Started digging through all sorts of old interviews with him, man have I found some gems in the process. All began by being amazed that there is footage out there with Glen completely alone with no backing playing his guitar! Instantly was hungry FOR MORE.
So, the digging began!
It's really just a huge plus and amazing to see I'm now sharing it with other people as crazy for this man as I! As well as sharing it with more guitarists who don't think of Glen as truly a stellar guitarist like he was up there with the likes of Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed, he was just too dang good at singing! It took all the spotlight man! Those big orchestrations and stuff, NAH, I'M HERE FOR DAT NITTY GRITTY HEHEH! Love it! Wish his guitar got more spotlight like Jerry's did. Really man.
Thanks for commenting! You're right, it's one thing to dominate on guitar, it's another to have a UNSTOPPABLE ear that could pick up melodies with one playthrough, it's RIDICULOUS TO HAVE A GOLDEN SINGING VOICE MADE FOR THE HARDEST OF POWER BALLADS ON TOP OF ALL OF THAT.
Truly a man born with TOO MUCH talent, and I'm here for it.
Thanks for commenting!
Brilliant Jerry Reed song sung by one of the greatest to ever live.
Absolute beauty of a song...what a star Glen Campbell was👌
The amazing Glen Campbell
Fantastic! Took me back to my childhood, he was a big hit with my family...great memories, gee life was so much different 😊
Genius. I love the Johnny Cash version of this Masterpiece.
Glen Campbell is underrated...even today.
Absolute master and guitar genius...THE American guitar treasure...Glen Campbell - NO ONE ALIVE could play a 12 string like he did - I really miss his playing and personality !!
just outstanding, great upload, thanks!
He has a whole orchestra inside that Ovation Guitar.
Glen picking and singing Jerry. Two guitar titans. Thanks for posting.
god almighty that boy could play.
Heck yeah! I love that impromptu solo so much!
Wonderful playing !
Brilliant
I really miss back when popular musicians could actually play and sing
Without auto tune at that
One of the very best ever love Glenn Campbell
never replaced amazing talented very gifted brilliant singer loved glen
Totally Breathtaking, a stunning performance, wow !! 😯 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Such a wonderful talent the likes of which is sadly missed 🎶🎶
Pure class..this is what pure class is..singing ..playing...a genius i all way
Truly, so effortlessly too but while still feeling full of emotion! It's just all around some really solid picking, I love it!
Glen is awesome man.
Thanks for commenting!
One of under estimated guitarist ever ...
A real star .. RIP Glen and thank you thank you 🙏
Glen second to nobody vocally or on guitar....amazing talent.
He was studio musician before having his artist career.
He was the outstanding member of the wrecking crew.
Who do I love? Beatles, Bee Gees, Jethro Tull, Hall & Oates, Shania Twain, ABBA, Glen Campbell, Buck Owens, Earth, Wind & Fire, James Brown, Creedence, Boston, Steely Dan, The Four Tops, Simon & Garfunkel, Willy Nelson, Yes, The Cars, Dwight Yoakam, John Anderson, 77s... Too many to remember... Great music is great music.
