Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman (11.2.2011)(Ellen 720p)

[@garnetmitchell1883]

I was a lineman for 35 years. Fell off poles, worked over 24 hours and more straight during storm damage, blew stuff up, and worked on some of the most important days that you can have for my family to restore power. I would do it all over again. Thanks Glen.

[@gunnerzane5230]

And thank you SIR!

[@michaelhubbard3992]

Thank you for your service, brother and God bless you and your family.

[@petertorrey4080]

Such a great song..

[@donnaharvey8530]

When I first heard that song and I was a kid, it brought tears to my eyes. And now I'm 67 years old. And it still does the same. Beautiful song!😍❤❤❤❤❤

[@ceciliaalvarez2506]

I feel the same way.

[@drewandfrank]

I'm 68. COPY THAT. Jim Webb is a genius. No better collaboration than GC and JW. This one and BTTIGTPhoenix Will always make me cry❤❤

[@michaelasay8587]

Gosh what happened to this world....

[@goldenblues9635]

First time i heard it.very nice song and lovey voice

[@drewgordon8264]

My mom and dad use to listen to this song. My dad died when i was 6, he was 32. My mom died 2 years ago at 93. Its been 10 years since i heard it. And i literally teared up. Had to hold back the tears because it bring back such good memories. And then i read the remark below that said it all. "Gosh what happened to this world"....sigh

[@ChuckPriddy]

Thank you group for respecting Glen by performing this classic song. I appreciate it.

[@jogi1957]

One of the most respected singers of America whose name will go a long way down in history.............

[@pockynon]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@sharonjohnson4636]

i watch this over and over... Such a classic and such a talented man. And to watch him perform with his children just touches my heart even more. God bless you, Glen!

[@chriskillingsworth6435]

Salute to Glen Campbell, who led an 'interesting' life, and was a musical genius. Paired with another genius, Jimmy Webb, they were like Bacharach and Dionne Warwick.

[@RodCalidge]

I couldn't stand Glen Campbell as a kid. He was my parents country and western type of musician and I loved rock and roll. Of course, as I grew into a lifelong guitar player, I developed HUGE respect for this guy. What a picker.

[@secretfacekid8920]

I’m a rock music fan but I have to admit this guy was class.

[@conorkennedy3304]

this is rock music

[@kimber45ish]

I find it so sweet that his daughter will always have this memory of playing with her dad.

[@TinkerTailor4303]

AND his sons!

[@blucy10]

One of my best memories is seeing one of his last performances. Ashley would gently help with lyrics.

[@charlie-obrien]

Ashley will be a star on her own some day. She inherited a lot of Glen's musical ability. It's just that she is young now, and her soul needs a little more maturing. After all she didn't have the advantage of picking cotton in the Arkansas summer heat as a child like her Dad did.

[@thomasmurray7246]

They way he can change his singing any time second to none even at his age there is not one singer to touch him to day

[@dave30076]

When he'd do this song, he would improvise a lot on the vocals and the guitar parts, and he'd always nail it. Perfect pitch, as someone said. At the time this was done, his Alzheimer's was pretty bad, and he'd get lost sometimes, but here, he just nailed it.

[@tedf1471]

Saw him on his final tour. "I have no idea where I am, but it's lovely to see you all!" An emotional evening.

[@dannagordon9618]

SOOOOOOOOOO Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prettiest song he ever did and will continue doing thanks to technology. We love you, Glen! We will Never forget. You are here in our hearts and you melt mine everyday! "And I need you more than want you-------But I want you for All Time". Prettiest lyrics Ever!

[@markholle3450]

There is such a sense of appreciation and loss with Glen. He made things look so effortlessly that many didn't realize he was one of the best in the world. And when that's gone, you're thankful for the recordings and videos.

[@chriswilson2431]

Another typically Glen solo. What a tremendous man he was and his music will live and be loved forever!

[@richardlindquist5936]

Great to see him with his kids. RIP Glen.

[@franksmith6411]

Absolutely brilliant! Can't wait to meet you in Heaven, Mr. Campbell.

I can never get tired of this song. RIP Glen.

[@loisjenkins9563]

NEVER!!!!

[@joeblow4785]

"And the Wichita Lineman is still on the line" !!!!!

[@penjn1]

He oozes with bright light and high frequency and that never goes away.

[@fj5144]

This is his two sons and daughter. This was towards the end. What a legend!

[@MarkZook]

I loved watching his kids guide and protect him at the end. Ashley is absolute saint.

[@joeblow4785]

"And I drive the main road, searching in the sun for another overload, and I hear you singing in the wire" !!!!!

[@kc9056]

Glen owns this song ... period.

[@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm]

He might own it but that doesn't mean he can't rent it out! He would have loved the stunning version done by Girl Named Tom on The Voice kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYG4f3SPbrGSkNUsi=Qg7hq2Vnikdenaxi

[@vdavis4785]

Cassandra Wilson's version isn't too shabby.

[@bej5534]

God. I miss him so much !! Thank you lord for sharing him with us

[@lionheartroar3104]

Even with the ravages of Alzheimer's Glen could perform..so glad I went to his farewell tour..Goodnight great man!

[@guyt7401]

I envy you

[@Agwings1960]

Your damn right it was

[@MrDuds1984]

Not a word or note missed, amazing

[@johnbravo7542]

If you're at the point of Alzheimer's you would definitely not be performing like Glen did here,not even with dementia,because even with dementia,he would not be able to perform,this would've been some time before diagnosis, of having dementia which leads to Alzheimer's.

[@FlightData101]

@@johnbravo7542 Wrong. Glen was diagnosed several months before this performance and did a farewell tour with his son and daughter playing in the band. My mother was a wonderful pianist and one of the last things she could still do in the final stages of her Alzheimer’s journey was to sit down and play. She could only manage one or two short tunes, but what she did play was just as accurate and inspired as when she was much younger.

[@anthonygasparini1734]

God Bless you Glen Campbell! You left us with all your beautiful music to remember you by and reminisce of a great time in all of our lives.

[@donnakreischer2243]

This man is a national treasure. There will never be another.

[@stephenjohn4837]

Was a studio musician and is now regarded as one of the best guitarists ever.

[@britturk123]

God bless his children for standing right behind him and allowing dad to do what he did best.

[@TheJohnOlivarez]

This is man is a true Legend. I'm not a country and western listening person but when it comes to Glen Campbell, and a few other true country singers I listen.I grew up with Glen Campbell's Good time Hour and True Grit what great great movie. God blessed us with Glen Campbell.

[@willynelson9595]

The great Eddie Van Halen once famously asked, “how do I get a guitar lesson from the great Glenn Campbell”

[@danc3693]

Yeah, I’ve seen that posted by a few people but never heard the source for the quote. It’s one of those I’d LIKE to believe but what’s the reliable source of the quote?

[@bettinahansen7630]

@@danc3693 do you know the Alice Cooper Interview here on KZbin? he's speaking about it! worth it to watch(in my opinion)😊

[@vincentlem2534]

@@danc3693 It is on youtube. Alice Cooper discussed his close friendship with Glen. They played Golf together. He said that Eddie came to him one day and asked, "Can you get me a guitar lesson with Glen." It shows how highly he thought of him. Glad to say I saw him twice live. He played the guitar like he invented it. Cheers!

[@rsvihla]

Glen, not Glenn.

[@kevinlawlor412]

I thought Eddie said that about Steve Lukather

Tears and goosebumps…so moving and beautiful it hurts, but, oh, what a hurt. He exquisitely expresses so much of our humanity. We thank God for you, good sir. We bless and thank you. 😊💕🎶🙏🌎

Every time he played this was a gift from Heaven.

[@dougross7614]

A one of a kind artist, and we were lucky to be able to enjoy Glen Campbell.

[@DRLEWIS]

This song always makes me sit up and whine and cry. It's so filled with yearning, with love and that Jimmy Webb is something else! This song is just something fabulous! And I've been posting it today because of the lineman in Texas.

[@eddiepelosi6136]

Shed a tear or two over this one... What an extraordinary talent. The man was very special right to the end.

[@judithlingard2448]

Just the most lovely song I remember it and being moved by the words and performance in 1968 when the words were interpretively- as tender as they are today.

[@acousticshadow4032]

Nice job on the baritone guitar, Shannon! Thank you, Jimmy Webb ~ Thank you, Glen Campbell.

[@charlie-obrien]

What a treat for Ellen's audience to get the full extended solo in one of Glen's virtuoso performances. And of course his kids were great. Ashley will be a star on her own some day. She inherited a lot of Glen's musical ability. It's just that she is young now, and her soul needs a little more maturing. After all she didn't have the advantage of picking cotton in the Arkansas summer heat as a child like her Dad did.

[@backpackingireland8624]

The Rhinestone Cowboy ❤What a voice, his contribution to American music is simply incredible. I know as an Irish child the first song I remember being in my mind was Rhinestone Cowboy , and so began a lifelong admiration. Rip Glen Campbell 🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@loisjenkins9563]

A masterful guitar player. Thanks for the memories.

[@dannyconway2612]

Every now and again I put some of Glen's music on, what a great voice, what a great guitar player, what a legend, I love the way that his children are always there watching over him like he is now over them R.I.P Glen.

Really great music from a master of his craft, superb singer and guitarist, RIP Glen we are still listening.

[@larryjudd7586]

As a guitar player myself, Glen was my HERO . Got to see him preform many times through the years and he just got better! Saw him in Michigan on his last tour. It was GREAT! Miss him deeply but his music lives on.Great to see his children keeping his legacy moving forward.RIP my friend

[@kymcha]

Even if each of Glen's children inherited just 10% of his musical talent, that would be sufficient to play professionally.

[@mattgrant9479]

If you listen closely it's his kids that got him from this. He lost his way half way through and his son picked him up

[@GlenB2013]

I remember listening to this song as a young man back in the 70's. Brings back great memories of when I was a kid!

Where did he lose track?

[@julieaukerman3139]

He didn't lose track. Do you play guitar?

[@Chronic_Town]

@@joshrandall5297 Eh? They have this guitar turned down all the way except for during his solo, since he (quite understandably) is not anywhere 100% in his playing. you can see him twiddling with the volume not understanding what the issue is since he can't hear himself. He is then confused that the other guitar player takes the riff before the solo, messes up parts of the solo and switches oddly between guitar and mic in hand. It's amazing he was at all able to perform at this point, but no reason to pretend he was at 100% here.

[@NOWtheband]

I saw him in the 90's and also saw him on his Good Bye tour. He had a hard time relating to the crowd (because of the Alsheimers I'm sure) but for the most part played and sang wonderfully. What an amazing talent!
