- In S T E R E O, from February 1998, Glen Campbell sings Jimmy Webb's "MacArthur Park" with a scorching guitar solo; during interview segment, host Gary Chapman points out Keith Urban in the audience admiring his guitar hero Glen (Keith was still with his group "The Ranch" at the time); Jimmy Webb himself joins Glen & Gary and they talk about their history together.

Mr.Campbell was an elegant man, who had plenty of talent, a harmonious voice and total guitar dominance, he always chose his repertoire, undisputed artist, rest in peace ...
Glen absolutely kills on MacArthur Park. Very moving.
I still can't believe that Jimmy was only 19 when he wrote MacArthur Park. I am so glad that these 2 guys paths crossed when they did because the music they created was so incredibly beautiful. I don't care who else sang his songs, Glen gave them real life.
Amen!
Glen was absolutely incredible ,breathtaking with Jimmy Webb beyond !!!
The greatest ... bar none. I teared up!
That guitar solo... absolutely ON FIRE!!!
he made it look so easy... what Glen does with the guitar is otherworldly...off the charts...hits the ball out of the park here...oh the glory ⚘
He was as good on acoustical guitar if not better. What a legend! A rag to riches true life story, and an addiction that he fought and was won at the Cross!
Wow - don't ever forget how great Glen was on the guitar. This team up - the city songs - By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Galveston, Wichita Lineman - Glen singing Jimmy Webb.
Yup. He was in Capitol's `Wrecking Crew' and played on : Beach Boys, Mamas & Papas, Monkees, Ricky Nelson, Gary Lewis & the Playboys, (AND other bands albums)
This rendition was awesome! Bless You Glen Campbell!
Still looking so handsome, probably with his mind still fully intact. God I miss him, but RUclips helps when you can watch him as well as listen to him.
there are two people who the lord blessed with a voice Glen Campbell and Karen Carpenter.
An amazing performance by one of the great musicians of all time, perfection in motion, a must in your library of music...
The Man With The Golden Pipes & The Golden Guitar
Unforgettable song, I never heard this version with Glen Campbell... so beautiful
Listen to his concert with the South Dakota Symphony from 2022, it's absolutely beautiful
True entertainer! What a treasure Glen was. I feel blessed to have been born in 1960 and grew up listening to the best music ever written.
Jimmy is such an accomplished songwriter. He was only 19 when he wrote MacArthur Park.
Glen, voice, and guitar were one instrument.
Glen can do anything.
Andy M could do anything.......
Glen had it all... the look, amazing voice, and a world-class ability on guitar, even by today's standards. He was a fixture in the recording studio too. He had it ALL!
Has it all
+Carl Watson Glen isn't performing anymore, due to Alzheimer's disease. That's why I wrote 'had". I wasn't implying he had died. From what I've read, he had a difficult time during his last shows; he was forgetting what songs he had played, and repeating them. It must have been heartbreaking for both the audience and him.
Because of Glen, Chet Atkins and the Ventures, I became a professional Guitarist many years ago. Glen's influence was paramount on my concept of what a great musician was.
Glen was one of the absolute best guitarists in his day, a studio ace, and a phenomenal singer and entertainer. When Glen had to stop performing, the world of music lost one of its best.
Absolutely NO disrespect to Glen will ever come from me.
Thanks for uploading this jewel for us. l second everything you’ve written here about Glen’s talents. If you’ve never seen his seemingly impromptu performance Roy Orbison’s “Crying” while sitting amongst the most famous popular country artists of the previous generation, here’s a link (sorry the video is not hi def, but the sound is adequate): Crying - Glen Campbell (Roy Orbison)music.ruclips.net/video/iHmScxQopRI/видео.html
I hope you’re not suggesting that their are higher standards for guitar playing today? I don’t care how fast someone can sweep or tap, the musicality hasn’t gotten any better than the best players of decades ago.
@@sketchyold Thank you very much for sucking the life out of my sincere, heart-felt comments to one of the greatest entertainers who ever lived.
Goosebumps and tears. Best version.
That is an amazing amazing performance.
This is BY FAR the BEST version of this DYNAMIC song...
Glen was tearing it up there. WOW!!!
the pedal steel....what a nice touch. Should be on all Jimmy Webb songs.
I'd have said it seems outside Glen's usual lane. But I'm SO GLAD now that he did this. for Jimmy. 23 years ago now.
The remarkable Glen Campbell...
He started out as a studio musician playing guitar.
At some point he must have realized that he could sing as well as anybody, so he became a solo artist.
I've never heard a 'Country' version of 'MacArthur Park' before! Lol Richard Harris's version is my favourite but Glen does a reasonable version, too. Especially when Jimmy is there on piano. Good stuff!
Priceless
This was back when television was worth watching.
He was made for this song as well as the song was made for him. Awesome artist, amazing composition.
Richard Harris was the ONLY one I ever heard sing this until RUclips exploded and I found Glen and Jimmy. I can't believe the genius of Jimmy Webb to write such a big song like this. It is so beautiful. I have loved all of his songs he wrote that Glen sang. The two together were awesome.
This is the best , thank you
Absolutely wonderful ,100% in tune absolutely brilliant
That should have been in from of tens of thousands in Wembley stadium.. That was absolutely stunning !!!
Shredding that ax like a boss 🎸🔥💥
He did some good guitar work on by the time I get to Phoenix
Oh my . So wonderful. I miss him. Saw him in person when I was a teenager. I have been a fan for many years. My god bless and keep.
Glen did this song much better than Harris! Glen had everything looks he can sing plus he had the guitar! Loved this version!!
I am partial to the Harris version but Campbell really did the piece proud!!!
Richard Harris was a little more like Roy Orbison or pavoratti. He put more volume voice and vibrato. The chill factor was higher with Harris but I like glen Campbell better his personna.
Wow, I honestly didn’t know just how amazing he was on guitar. I guess the best!
Go watch Glens history as an original member of “The Wrecking Crew” studio musicians. His guitar work is on so many historical songs that its phenomenal.
@@mikereynolds3294 I sure will! And phenomenal is correct! I forget what legend, maybe Paul McCarthy said Glen was the best!
@@janicescott7338 ruclips.net/video/w9-FfwwXRDg/видео.html
@@mikereynolds3294 Aww, thanks! All the greats and none tried to outdo the other in this video. Just pure respect for each other.
Amazing rendition. Off the hook rock guitar solo!
Fabulous!
Effing amazing
Great hope stay well
One of the best.
I wanted to say AWESOME, but I think INCREDIBLE is more appropriate.🤩😎
Don’t make them like him anymore. Legend

Best version of the best song ever, possibly, although Richard Harris' original occupies the most special of places. To me, the song is about the actual MacArthur Park, transported from LA to a fantasy world.
Absolute class
By far the best rendition of this song I have heard. Harris was not good. We saw Wayne Newton and he was very terrible. This was outstanding. How sad what Alzheimer’s did to him. My husband had it and it is horrible.
Remembering all those words,,, wow
Glen shredding!!!
Sweet
GOD BLESS YOU GLEN I WILL ASK YOU YOU TO 🎤 SING THE KING IS COMING WHEN I SEE JESUS IN HEAVEN OKAY 👍 AND I MISS YOU A WHOLE BUNCH 🙌❤️❤️
A god!!!
Some discover GOD late in life: I,Glen Campbell.
Better than Richard Harris' crappy version. Donna Summer did a great job too. RIP Glen and Donna. Too bad Keith Urban never took lessons from Glen, he could sure use them still. Pedestrian player. Glen and Roy, two of the greats.
Cool
As my jazz band music teacher used to yell at us guitar players while he was talking to the entire band, "Stop it. Be quiet!! Guitar players always diddling on their guitars"....
Like Stevie Wonder, it's awfully tough to sing along with Glen Campbell unless you've got 2 octaves to work with!
Unfortunately Glen's voice was pretty shot at this stage, certainly compared to the golden voice he had in the late 60s early 70s. There's a BBC special from the early 70s that is the one to see.. Magnificent soaring vocals and the same brilliant guitar solo
I love Glen Campbell but this song belongs to Donna Summer
not the same without Glen's guitar, but I can still get by with just vocals
Did he just sing "someone left ma cake out in the rain"? Oh Noooo!
Did he really say Keith Urban??? That is not Keith Urban. I've seen the video of him when he was 16 on some talent show in Australia and he looked pretty much the same then as he does now. Anyone want to tell me I'm wrong?
Yes, it's Keith Urban. =)
Yeah mate, that's Keith.
Looked like Keith to me.
That was indeed a 31 year old Keith Urban
@@deniseme5444 It's a little late, but thank you everyone!! They don't really show him for very long, and I'm used to the way his hair is now, etc. I have heard Keith say how much he admires Glen, so when I saw them playing together on a video in Vegas, I could only imagine how he felt at that point.
Glen didn't have a great voice, but he was a great singer.
I think Elvis recorded a Jimmy Webb song or 2. Great writer though
Slow. Otherwise great.
I like Campbell but I always hated this song. Worst song ever written in my book. Doesn't make any sense and Harris didn't have the voice to hit those high notes ugggg.
It's a great song about heartbreak. The sweet green icing melting down is the park seen through tears.
Back up singers help
Doesn’t look like Keith urban
