Ol' Joe couldn't resist exposing him publicly with videos and photo posts of his arrest.

[@kenwest6300]

Saw Glen three times, the last being his farewell tour. He forgot the words but somehow kept playing. We all were silently rooting for him. Finally, the words came back, we cheered, and shortly after the performance ended. I am glad I went to hear him despite knowing what was before him. Seeing videos reminds me of happy times, but I will never forget how you could feel the audience silently saying, come on Glen, you can do it, and he did not disappoint. I watched as his daughter loving played by his side being his personal cheerleader. The rest of us just spectators of man whose gift from God was immense talent.

One of my life's regrets is that I never took them up on the offer to go with them to see Arthur Fieldler and the Boston Pops. I had no idea they were such a cultural institution. Such is the curse of youthful stupidity. There's probably a good chance my parents were at THAT show because that was in the right time period for their nights out at the Pops.

He’s known as one of the greatest guitarists ever, has 10 Grammy Awards, sold 45 million records, and is in the Country Music Hall of Fame, but somehow “never got the credit he deserved”?

[@shellyhostetler4910]

All I can say is, *"WOWWWWW!"* Mason Williams' masterpiece has always amazed & thrilled me on its own. But I was blown away by how Glen Campbell made it his own, here; another great musician & and master guitarist, himself. This performance *proves* it! Thank you, Glen, and may you *Rest in Peace...*

One of THE greatest songs ever written and I was in Vietnam when it came out. Never forget it. Helped bring me home.

🇺🇸 God bless you Sir.

[@mooravity8140]

Thank you for your service

[@erwinmonti5066]

GLEN WAS BY FAR THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYER OF ALL TIME. JIMMY HENDRICKS WENT TO HIM FOR LESSONS AND SAID HE SAW GLEN DO THINGS HE DIDNT UNDERSTAND OR THOUGHT WERE POSSIBLE TO DO ON A GUITAR..THE PEOPLE IN THE KNOW PICK GLEN 10 TO 1 OVER ANYBODY ELSE. NOBODY EVER CHALLENGED GLEN BECAUSE THEY NEW THEY WOULD LOOSE...

[@Frank00]

Jerry reed or Roy Clark aren’t so bad either, but Glen picked with all five of his right hand!

[@unknownentity2429]

@@Frank00 all three are awesome . Id actually pick Roy Clark as the best

[@erwinmonti5066]

​@@unknownentity2429Why Clark said he didn't even know 25% of what you could do to a guitar compared to Glenn Campbell so he said that on the show when? Glenn Campbell wasn't even there so please no what you hopper about before you open your mouth.

Glen was such an underrated guitar player. Obviously, that man could play. RIP, Mr Campbell....

[@bobbyharlan1927]

He is on the list an absolute underrated virtuosos not to mention a great vocalist r.I.p Mr. Campbell ur truly missed

[@kathyflorcruz552]

NEVER underrated - except by noobs who are enthralled by computer generated fake stuff & who think he's just some old country has been.

[@justineapril7922]

@@kathyflorcruz552 I remember watching The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour when I was a kid. It was too bad that his looks and voice were more focused on than his musicianship. So, I'm definitely not a "noob." What I meant was when these "lists" of American musicians are compiled, Glen rarely gets a mention, which IMHO, is total BS! RIP Mr Campbell. You are missed....

[@billyredding]

Glen was never an underrated guitar player. His guitar playing is on over 600 albums from the Monkees to Frank Sinatra.

[@chrisgiebler6779]

Amazing talent didnt really sppreciate his guitar playing untill after he passed may he rip and jam out we all the othet guitar heroes in heaven

[@jimlavallee4418]

Always showed us his happy soul too.

[@iscubado2]

Heard this tune for the first time on the Andy Williams show in the 60's. Mason Williams was playing. Always been one of my favorite pieces of music. Love it today in 2021. G.C. just brings it home. 🎸🎶🎵📯🎺

[@terencelynch9149]

Love glens music Even today Adios Terry lynch

[@servicarrider]

What an incredible life. America loves you, Glen. You were the magical boy, weren't you.

[@sandeedobberstine5591]

Thanks for the sweet sentiment, well put!!

[@PeterPete]

i wouldn't want the life he had, 4 marriages, 9 children and alzheimer's at the end!!!

[@digidrum2003]

Saw Mr. Campbell on his last Tour in Houston Tx....wow what a show he and his children put on....one could tell he was just slighlty lost at moments in between songs,but once he started playing.......he was on it!!! One of the greatest muscians i have ever seen or heard.

[@vince1638]

We are all gonna get old and die. Few of us will be adored on You Tube after were gone. Glen was a genius.

[@auntiejen5376]

I remember watching Glen Campbell's show. My sisters and I loved it...

[@keithprichard516]

A gifted guitar player that will be remembered forever 🎼🎵

[@Ammoman34]

One of my favorites. I was lucky enough to see him in concert in the 70s.

[@figmo397]

One of the greatest guitar pieces ever played by one of the greatest guitar players ever! I never get tired of hearing this!

[@charlesvollmoeller168]

The man that made me want to pick up a guitar at age 10. Never anyone like him before or after. A master's master.God rest Glen Campbell..

[@joemachunda]

Glen Campbell with Arthur Fiedler and the pops! Handsome too!

[@onthegowithgreggsavage]

I also was born in 1962 and my name Gregg 😂is spelled with two Gs. Also being born in that area afforded us the privilege of knowing his music and the other great performers of that era from that show Hee-Haw which was a must in our house every week!! In all the variety shows Carol Burnett, Dean Martin ,ect. You just couldn't have shows like that today. And we were blessed and also we get to see him over and over again now thanks to KZbin..

[@lisalmitchell]

love ya 70's--one of the good memories

[@armeswilli01]

Wir hatten das Glück mit guter Musik crowing up. Thank God!

[@kevinforth7618]

That was excellent, and a great reminder of how strong Campbell's playing was.

[@leekresser8384]

Loved the Boston Pops! Feidler's great quote: " I won't play boring music!"
