I saw Glen play with Steve Wariner at a fund raiser Steve held every year in his hometown. The venue was outside and I was waiting at Glen's tour bus after the show, with an album for him to hopefully sign, not knowing he was already on the tour bus. I finally walked away and as I was walking I heard someone yell at me. I turned around it was Glen having just walked off the bus. He said, "were you waiting for me"? I went back and he signed my album and even talked guitars for a few minutes. It is a great memory for me.

great story! he was the best

That's a fantastic story. Thanks

[@joejackson73]

Even though he was playing BB Kings blues here I remember him saying in several interviews that he originally wanted to be the world's best Jazz player.

[@wilsonbrownofficial2828]

That’s great - natural showmanship and talent aside, he comes across as a genuine down to earth guy😀

[@imjonesy5239]

I was at a Guns N Roses concert right after Glen passed away. Axel said he was doing a tribute song for someone who influenced his musical career. Next thing you know both he and all the die hard rockers filling the stadium, are singing Wichita Lineman. Really moving.

Glen Campbell played my Uncle's 50th birthday party. I got to hang out with Glen. on the Island of Kauai in 2008. I picked him up hitchhiking. I didn't recognize him. He didn't know who I was. We were just two friends riding around the Island. So we drove to "pine trees" in Hanalei Bay. Shook hands and said goodbye. When I sat down at the picnic table with my friend Jeff asked me "how long have you been friends with Glen Campbell." I said "I just picked him up hitchhiking." Glen would walk Hanalei Beach. He would stop and hang out, and everybody would pass the guitar around in a circle. He was comfortable just being a person among other people. He loved the beach, he loved to listen to other people play, and hear what they had to say. There was no edge to him. Easy to be with.

[@Two4Brew]

Lovely story.

[@FromMyEyesToYours]

Yours is a great recollection story. I met him twice myself, about 10 years apart. Neither time having anything at all to do with music. Just the two of us happening upon each other and talking one-on-one during each occasion to pass time. And you are right. He was a gentleman's gentleman in terms of casual interaction and enjoyment of being in the company of others with friendly conversation.

[@OldBillOverHill]

Wow, reminds me of my time with Chet Atkins and Danny George Jr. Both were hiding from fame, agents, and the media.

[@joannebrown6163]

I'm so jealous. What a lovely story :)

[@nealixd.3011]

Cool story. I had a similar, much shorter story of an encounter with a humble Danny Gatton three weeks before he passed. I had met him four times in 1979 when he repaired two guitars for me at his shop in Oxon Hill, MD, but I had been out of State a while and had not seen him when I came back since 1979. I honestly didn't recognize him that day in 1994 although we talked a bit about my guitar and other things at a music gear swap meet down in Waldorf, MD. Only after his passing did a good friend, who had been with us in the latter part of the conversation, make me realize it was Danny.

[@sassyt1545]

Session playing is what got Campbell in the door and introduced his great talents to the fame makers. His superlative god-gifted vocals are what carried him on to fame and fortune, producing no less than SIXTY-THREE “Glen Campbell” albums which were released thru his legendary career! On another note regarding another genuine TALENT- NOBODY analyzes the talents of musical artists as THOROUGHLY, as INTELLIGENTLY, as KNOWLEDGEABLY as Fil! Fil’s not only a proficient musician himself but an EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATOR regarding the subject of musicianship which he knows and teaches so well!

I have been a Glen Campbell fan for a long (long) time, but only now that I have watched all of your detailed analyses featuring Glen, do I understand his exceptional ability to play guitar.

[@jacquescousteau217]

In 1967 I lived in Los Angeles . I got every break imaginable. I was also only twenty years old. I was at CBS on Fairfax where they shot the Smothers Brothers Show one day with a musical Director doing a lead sheet. There were all these small 10 by 10 feet practice rooms. I saw a door open,and it was Glen alone in one of the rooms with an Ovation ( not the model he’s using here ) guitar. I walked in the room,and he just said “hi, how are you doing ? “ I said fine I was just there with a musical director writing out a chart for me. I asked if I could just sit in the other chair ,and listen to what your doing ,and why you’re doing it. It said it was something for the show. In any event he was as humble,and kind as a person can get . He had a sheet he was looking at, I assumed he was reading a chart. It was just a chord chart. I had no idea he didn’t read,but he knew instinctive what to do . That was so long ago. It only lasted maybe five minutes, but it was a five minutes I’ll never forget. Great interpreter of songs. Jimmy Webb wrote for Glen. That is a match made in heaven. A great singer,a great player,and great writer . That was LA in the mid sixties.

Always a great time with Mr. Campbell , listening to his sound since I was a tiddler. I think he single handedly brought Ovation guitars to the attention of budding musicians way back in the ‘60’s. My privilege to have lived during his run. A foundation stone of easy listening, yet progressive, true music.

[@JaimeMesChiens]

Fil, you’re smiling through this entire performance. Again. I’d never before heard this and it’s gorgeous. So pure. So clean. So articulate. It’s almost hard-to-believe that this is a live performance.

[@cuda426hemi]

Thank you for covering Glen again, it's important to keep hammering on the masters. Wichita Lineman also is a masterclass on just about everything you need to make a perfect record - his DanElectro 6 string bass lead break alone (not Fender VI as is reported) is so simply perfect it's why we have music - to make up for when words can't convey. Fil-Up! 🎶

[@RobertBelcher]

I've loved Glen Campbell songs my whole life, but didn't appreciate his guitar skills until I saw him play Mason Williams Classical Gas on guitar. He immediately went into my "Top 10" guitarists category after viewing that.

[@lauriekane4686]

Glen's playing was savory, sweet and sour, with a dash of cream- smooth as silk. And, all natural!!

[@cultosaur262]

This shows why so many legendary rock, blues, jazz, and country musicians sought out Glen Campbell for session work, consults, and peer-jams! One of the very best guitarists of the 20th Century who appears on so many hit songs of his day without a credit on the release. Along with all the important things in his life such as faith and family, Glen was an extraordinary musician and most brilliant performer, all-ways! Very nice analysis Fil, your insight is spot-on. “Rock!” 🎤🎸🎶🏅🆒

The tone was beautiful. These tv appearances are what got me into the guitar initially, Roy Clark, Glenn Campbell, et all from the 60's and 70's tv were truly skilled and musical. Johnny A.

[@bobsaturday4273]

wow ! thanks Fil , haven't seen this one before . this one really shows Glen as more of a jazz player without getting out of the "comfort zone" of the majority of the general public listening audience but keeping it wild and interesting enough not to fall into that elevator music palatability that some jazz falls into . this really shows Glens connection with real everyday people bringing complicated musical ideas to folks that otherwise wouldn't understand and appreciate some of the intricacies of top jazz greats

[@uggligr]

I was born in Galveston, Texas. My mom had to stop her trip from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to San Antonio, Texas, so I can't really say I'm "from" Galveston. Glen Campbell sang a song called, "Galveston" and it's an antiwar song. It was very brave of him to say something in that genre at that time. I never found the lyrics until KZbin. I had no idea he could play like this.

A bit of a renaissance man. Glen was one of the best as an all round entertainer. That included capably hosting a variety show, acting in films, and was just an amazing guest on talk shows (including British & Australian TV shows) - he owned the room. His charisma, sense of humor, and being able to tell stories made even a curmudgeon like Johnny Carson chuckle non stop. RIP to the G.O.A.T. 🐐

I was so lucky to have been able to see him on his farewell tour. I grew up watching him on tv & was thrilled that he was appearing at the Count Basie Theatre, walking distance from my home in NJ. He needed a teleprompter for the words, but he absolutely KILLED on the guitar! Always with his wonderful sense of humor in tact. I was still devastated by his death, but I saw that interview with Alice Cooper. It made me a little less sad, knowing that he was finally at peace. Cheers!

Fil did you see the movie Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me ? It's both sad and wonderful at the same time, well worth seeing.

[@gypsy13291]

I agree, it really is well worth seeing. I watched that documentary because I've always loved Glen Campbell, and also because my mother has Alzheimer's Disease. It was heartbreaking, but also inspiring and educational; I highly recommend it to anyone who's ever been touched by that horrible disease or any other type of dementia - and that's just about everyone. On a lighter note, when I was a kid my dad was a lineman for Bell in NW PA. The first time I heard Wichita Lineman (about 7 or 8 years old) I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't wait to tell my mom, my brother, my friends, the neighbors, etc., that there was a song about my dad on the radio! The "Wichita" part went right over my head but I understood all the references to the job and was absolutely floored that my dad had become so famous. My mom doesn't have many memories left but for some reason that one stuck with her - me running up to her and yelling "they're singing a song about DAD on the radio!!!" - which makes me both cringe and smile at the same time. I still love that song even though I eventually figured out it wasn't specifically about my father. :)

It is beautiful and tragic. Stunning how the music remained so resiliently even as good overall functioning was being peeled away by Alzheimer's. The man loved music and loved having a stage to perform, and he was amazing. I was blessed to see him on tour at a time when he still appeared well, although it's clear now that he was deteriorating cognitively already. He was entertaining, corny as always, and effortlessly fluid on guitar, which he highlighted to our pleasure. His voice was in fine form, unlike most of the guys in their 70's we know and love. Still miss the guy. RIP Glen

The Wrecking Crew documentary got me to Glen Campbell, that got me to Wichita Lineman, that got me to more Glen Campbell, that brought me here. So much fun and very interesting video. Well done. You kept my attention! haha

Lovely job, Fil. What a talent/entertainer Glen was.

One of my favorite shows to watch back then.
