He was absolutely majestic! GLEN CAMPBELL McArthur Park Live REACTION

[@ericarachel55]

beautiful! Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops were great! what an era

[@l-bird]

Oh, I never knew Glen Campbell covered this song. I vividly remember the emotions this song brought up hearing Richard Harris sing it when I was younger. Great song

[@kevinfarrell3121]

Glens was the only version I had heard until adulthood. Covered by so many though. Jimmy Webb is absolutely in the top 5 Songwriters of the whole 1900’s. Maybe number 2 to Bacharach / David. But Webb never co-wrote.

[@Keedeeg]

I love his rendition of this Jimmy Webb gem! ❤

[@sandidean6388]

Great performance from Glen

[@iandowney4630]

The old Boston Pops Fourth of July shows were always fun to watch. They would have all kinds of guests at it. Arthur Fiedler was a fan favorite.🎉

[@mlinton3007]

I love it. Song and Glenn Thank you

[@EShelby2127]

We sang this in high school choir... and concert band, spring concert, 1975 Hawley MN

[@barbaragatto2549]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@bobclavile5653]

Wow. I remember that. Honestly. It was an amazing performance. Glen did great things with his voice, and terrific guitar. A real pro who sang from the heart. Great memories never go away. Thank you. Brushed a few tears with this. Glen also did a fantastic job with GUITAR...."Classical Gas".

[@AP-gb3eh]

All respect to Campbell ❤️

[@tpatrick44]

Never have seen this!!! Amazing!

[@depsny]

As a Pastry chef and wedding cake maker I just love to serenade my wife with this song. She always giggles.

[@rwilson7197]

Honestly, I always thought i was hearing a parody when i heard the line - can't take it, took so long to bake it! Im giggling along with your wife!

[@johndavidson5228]

Love it!

[@spawn4582]

This is a classic! Everything is done for Elvis!

[@Cynthia...]

I didn't know he did this song. Nice Scott and Harri.

[@The5thGen]

Love this.

Glen was one of the greatest Rock and Roll Guitarists of the 60’s, playing on hundreds of great recordings as a session musician, along with supporting vocals. Was a member of of numerous Rock groups as well including Sagittarius, Beach Boys, The Champs, The Fleas, The Trophies, worked heavily with Ricky Nelson and Merle Haggard. Played on sooo many hit songs. He never did Learn to read music. He was just naturally talented and gifted. You should Check out the “Glen Campbell - Best Guitar Solos 1960 - 2000’s” video on KZbin. It’s fantastic!

[@jamesfejedelem5831]

Glen’s performance of this song from the TV show Prime Time Country is the one to watch.

[@debbiechang5781]

I never even knew Glen Campbell recorded this iconic song. What a great performance! Fantastic choice and commentary. Thanks Harri and Scott 🌺✌️

[@WendyJoJohnston]

I see that I am not the only fan of Richard Harris' version. (He was my favorite King Arthur, too!) Back in the day, Glen Campbell was amazing; he was one of my first little girl crushes; I must have been all of 5, lol! He and Tanya Tucker all but killed each other in the 80s, and I was glad to see both of them come out of that turbulent time. Both have left grand music to remember them by, for which I am grateful.

[@bobdelp2023]

MAN OH MANNNNN HARRI, GEEEZZZ, YOU DID BOTH ELTON AND GLEN IN THE SAME DAY😮THAT'S AMAZINGGGG AND I LOVE IT!💯😊

[@RonSafreed]

You need to hear the original Richard Harris version & it came out in 1968 & was about 7 minutes long!!

[@The5thGen]

Thank you Harri.

[@brucekastel707]

You're so right about the sound quality; I'm going to snoop around the internet to try to find a better audio version.

[@davidbronstein2745]

excellent showcase for his talents, forgot how talented he was.

[@alainfrigon1797]

This is great but....Donna Summer's version will always be the one and the best version for me.

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

I don’t remember hearing her version. I need to check it out. Thanks for the info 😊!

[@davebzen795]

Scott, this was an excellent performance by Glen and the Boston Pops orchestra. Unfortunately, the recording quality was less than optimal. Many people do not know that Glen was a renowned session guitarist who appeared in countless songs and was one of the great vocalists of his time. Superb submission choice and review by Harri.

[@The5thGen]

Hello Dave. I’m sure that with AI technology the sound quality - particularly the guitar solo - could be improved. I hope to see that one day. 😊

[@davebzen795]

@@The5thGen Actually, AI is already here but needs further development with a few scenarios. Audials 2024, with the AI module added as an option, is what I have been testing and using for non-KZbin videos and audio. I say not with KZbin videos and audio because of copyright-related issues. Audials 2024 AI can legally capture and record virtually any streaming service, from Netflix to Spotify. The new AI module will miraculously clean up both audio and/or video. It can't make a sub-par video into HD quality but the improvement is stunning.

[@albo97056]

Jimmy webb and Glen had a bit of history. He sang so many of his songs. All done incredibly well imo

[@ryetim32]

Wichita Lineman and Galveston

[@RoryVanucchi]

Nice but Richard Harris had the hit and of course Donna Summer ten years later

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

Glen does a great job with this great song 👏🏻🥰‼️ There’s another version of the song that’s done by actor/singer Richard Harris. Some people like it like I do, other people don’t. I’m wondering if you’d like it or not. Maybe you could react to it and we’ll see, huh?

[@sixbladeknife44]

His guitar is unfortunately buried in the dense mix here, there’s a great live version from the early 2000’s where he really shines: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3LNh4etr7Fmqcksi=QNFRLMdN4x40sU-y

[@elevenbucks5682]

Best version of this is by Donna Summer at night of the proms.

[@ryetim32]

Is that Jimmy Webb Himself on the piano?

[@alcobb3338]

I have always liked Glen Campbell but I like both Richard Harris and Donna Summer's versions better.

[@kevinwalsh9788]

Donna Summer owned this song no matter may have sang it first.

[@chitownlee]

He needs to stick to the other Jimmy Webb songs he sang. I much prefer the Richard Harris original. I do love Glen and Jimmy but not this time.

[@Amaberean]

Love your reactions Harri, but I suppose I’m in the minority here, but to be honest I thought that was one of the Worst performances I’ve ever heard by Glen. Maybe it was just the quality of the audio, (I agree with you about the audio quality) or maybe the over instrumentation that the song really didn’t need. I just thought it was pretty much unlistenable. He was slurring his words, not enunciating properly, and just plain hard to understand him. Sometimes I think that people are just too afraid to be honestly critical. It’s not as if disliking a performance is a personal attack or anything. I guess I thought he was just way Overdoing it. Didn’t seem natural. Seemed “Forced” to me. But hey, I STILL love your channel.

[@pMcgov56]

Beyonce should cover this and do it better

[@TomFurr-uc1hj]

I am with you too many instruments overtook the guitar but not his amazing voice.

[@terrywright8731]

Never saw this before. Not really suited to Glen's voice. Richard Harris's version is the definitive masterpiece.

[@ljre3397]

Great performance. Terrible song. He left the cake out in the rain? It was stupid back in the ‘70s and it’s held up.

[@kevinfarrell3121]

Sadly a lot of people get hung up on that line and basically skip the rest of the song!
