Glen Campbell - Rhinestone Cowboy and Galveston (Live at Farm Aid 1985)

[@timpeters7867]

All versions of glen are great. Coke glen ,clean glen ,statesman glen. Never lost his class and ability. When Roy Clark and Keith urban are in awe of you at the different parts of your career you're going ok

[@keithwyatt5556]

Eddie Vanhalen was in awe of Glenn

[@jamesweller8435]

Coke Glen is a total badass here! Hitting these notes in his mid 40's!

[@richardharris8745]

wow he worked for coca cola?

[@jimbanda]

​@@richardharris8745 Yup, did the old sniff test for a few years.

[@richardharris8745]

coca cola does that @@jamesweller8435

[@69er16]

Love how hard he’s partying here. Like you wouldn’t do the same.

[@susanb2015]

I remember seeing him on TV in the 70s singing this song on a horse on the stage. We rooted for him to win.

[@ssnoc]

What a great performer - superb guitar player - and a great person too - RIP and thanks 🙏 👍🍺

[@Robil63]

Damn, all his songs just warm my heart.

[@bobloblaw2958]

An American legend. A bit coked up here, but im sure a lot of us from the 80's can sadly identify. What a loss he was to this country.

[@tonysilver7937]

Miss you Glen what a talent great country star.. thanks for all your music ...

[@wontondestructxn]

This brings back so many good memories.

When I finally thought to go see Glen in concert it was too late. Regret that .

Awesome my former husband was there at age 19 and I loved his stories of this concert I miss you Gumby Rip you saw some classic entertainers!!!!!

An American Treasure ❤

[@gailreese4102]

Alzheimer's took so much away from him in the end, but even then he could still play his guitar & sing. Miss him!

[@Lsm865]

He was one of the only artists I’ve ever been emotional about when I learned of their death

[@motogpvlog922]

I can't stop listening to you sir..i'm playing it over and over again...thank you.

[@kimberlylongman8299]

This is what I grew up on.

[@theWoodrow321]

This was during the dark times of his career. When he was addicted to coke. I find it amazing that later on in this show that he would share the same stage with Waylon, who had not been long kicked his $1500 a day coke habit cold turkey. I'll bet there was some interesting talks in that backstage of this show.

[@intense5335]

If the truth was known, the years of Coke might have eaten his blood brain barrier up and caused his Alzheimers

[@theWoodrow321]

@@intense5335 Perhaps. Well we know it didn't do Waylon any good. That and the diabetes, and smoking. He was only 64.

[@ericbutton222]

He has a great professional voice

[@LetArtsLive]

another great song that bring memories of the past to light

[@mygreatbritain]

best performance ever.....

[@HarvH]

Lol if this was high on coke and he hits those notes in a flawless fashion what a goddamn legend

[@danc3693]

Maybe so, but his movements are hyper and jerky. He seems rushed at times, You see the same in the clip for Wichita Lineman from this same show. He may be hitting the notes but there’s much more to a superstar’s performance than that - it the musical interpretation of those songs and IMO that suffers in his performance of these songs. Good, but definitely not his best. Again, just my opinion.

[@jamesweller8435]

Exactly JT, he's having the time of his life! Crazy '80s!

[@donemmerton9720]

For some reason during Gentle on my Mind his guitar lost audio. I dont think he even knows it. He ain't no fake guitar player though, He can play the hell out of the guitar.

He stopped a few months later

Helluva a performance though!

Maybe wrong, great performance-the man never disappoints-but was it soon after he went into rehab? Fire water & funny snow have ruined so many lives. Only thing better is if Jerry Reed came out. God bless. Time does go by so fast, enjoy it now!
