I always believed that Glen is one of the greatest all around musician of all time.
I agree
Because he is......
His greatest song rip
Without a doubt. What a great talent.
1000% agreed!
Roy Clark listening to and clearly enjoying Glen Campbell's incredible guitar work. Two absolute masters of their craft right there.
Indeed....we will not see that greatness of talent again.
Also Chet Atkins and Willie Nelson.
Now Bubba that's what I was telling my Niece
All the historical talent on that stage, we’re losing them one by one, it’s a sad day every time one of them passes. Willie, Roy Clark and Chet Adkins admiring Glens skill on that guitar as well as the rest of them, there isn’t any body in the new generation that can touch Glens talent.
indeed. Man that solo just so smooth.
I could play that a thousand times, and it sounds better every time.
100
20 years ago I would've dismissed this without even listening because of the genre. Now it causes goosebumps and brings a tear to my eye. Glen was such a talent. So nice to see all these musical geniuses sitting around enjoying each other's ability.
I could not have said it better , feel the very same way
Country back then was a much better, classier Country genre. More soulful and inspired.
I think most of us go through a similar journey- it’s probably called music maturity
Yes...
Same here.
When Roy Clark and Chet Atkins are sitting in Awe of a guy you know you’re seeing something really special.
I've watched another copy of this clip maybe a thousand times and every time it chokes me up. Glen was a once-in-a-lifetime talent, and God blessed us by letting it be in our lifetimes. Happy birthday, Glen!
i watched that other clip 1000 times as well. when he says “I’ll play one,” he shows is musical genius. what a masterpiece
@@Jrfsfnm1 Totally
Crystal Gale smiling next to you while you strum a guitar, I’d fall to pieces. Roy Clark is watching so intently and Glen knows he’s watching - and Roy knows Glen knows! Two juggernauts of country and guitar playing in general. Simply one of the best songs ever.
Talent that is awe inspiring. Hits me hard too John.
John Holton. I live in Scotland a would have paid any money to go to America and be there to listen to this. I only recently fully appreciated Glen from seeing him on these RUclips clips. Adorable and out of this world the joy he brings singing this song.xx
Some nights the haunting pulls me back..... one of the most underrated guitar players of all time.....Roy Clark's face says it all
amen
Couldn't agree more 👏
and I wish Roy had chimed in, to me all the he Haw stuff helped Roy to remain a bit in the shadow relative to his talent. His voice, too, better than many. I wish he and Glenn had toured together, played and sung together.
@@jimquantic Roy and Glenn were 'compadres' and played together as "dueling guitarists" many times. (from what I've seen over the years) Different yet equally great, IMO. Never saw the whole show, but seems to me Roy was letting his colleague have his moment. I've always thought Roy Clark was a monster talent on guitar (along with Chet Atkins)
When THE great Roy Clark looks at you with utter admiration in his eyes, you've gotta know you're special...!!! I loved you Glen, I always will.
I thought the same thing. Roy Clark was one of the best pop music guitarists ever, and to see his admiration for Glen is truly special.
The real shame is that a LOT of young people (even those who like country music) don’t know how great most of these people sitting around on this show actually were.
Mega talented writers and musicians.
Glen was so such a great player that the best musicians of the time were impressed. That doesn’t happen.
Glen Campbell had so many gifts that it almost seemed unfair. He played brilliantly, sang wonderfully, wrote so many terrific songs and could even act very well. He is sorely missed.
when he was raised , I recall him saying they didnt even have electricity.
Muy bue no
Brilliant....dont think enough people realise just how good Glen was!!!
Watch the clip of what Alice Cooper has to say about Glenn.

Glen was a studio musician. It doesn't get any better than that. RIP Glen, your legacy will forever be alive!
02:31 That says it all right there. Look at the smiles on all of those faces. Glen has the admiration and respect of everyone of his fellow artists on that stage. My oh my, Glen was a supreme talent. Growing up, our family always watched “The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour”.
TheCarnivalGuy. This clip also gets me with the smiles and appreciation from his fellow musicians. I can watch this over and over.xxxx
And over and over. You’re in Scotland - I’m in Western Australia - but the whole world has to love this.
And Gene Watson at the end of the solo...OH YEAH!!!!
When Roy Clark is enjoying himself you know it’s good!
I used to listen to a country music station, late night. And the DJ knew what folks who were up at that late hour wanted to hear. He'd play blocks of music, from certain stars. He played Glen Campbell music one night. RIP Glen. Your were the master.
Glen's butter smooth vocals made him a superstar who rose to the stratosphere in his profession. But that was just one of his talents, master gituar player and I believe he wrote too. Reminds me of simpler times
He was with me in Vietnam whenever I got out
Of the field he made Life alot easier.
Thank you Glen Campbell.
One of the most underrecognized and unappreciated country stars ever. Such a great guitar picker, writer and performer. One of my favorite songs.
?
He did not write the song in the video,but everybody knows who Glen is.
No your wrong he was so big back in the 60'70's he had his own show ,he toured he was loved and very much appreciated.
He was appreciated by those who loved his voice and musical choices.
Such a wonderful solo, everyone loved Glen. A true unsung guitar hero! What simpler music and different times.
When Glen looks around and sees all those famous faces showing him admiration and affection.
When Roy Clark, who is brilliant, looks in awe..you know it's good❤
there is an old video on youtube that has them doing instrumental together called "ghost riders in the sky". poor quality video because of age, but great audio. look it up. you wont be disappointed.
I'm a guitar player for over 50 years. I play blues and jazz. When I see this video I stop everything, listen and SMILE. This is an absolutely terrific exhibition of EXCELLENT Guitar playing. The love that comes out, and the talent are the best. This is a great picker if I ever heard one.
I never get tired of this clip....just look at the faces of country music's greatest as Glen picks.
thats an insane amount of talent on that stage !
When Roy Clark is the second or third best guitarist in the group then yes, it's an insane amount of talent assembled.
Willies face after Glenn’s solo said it all.
@@brucebernard994I thought Chet was sitting on the front row.
I know exactly where I was…. Recently returned from Afghanistan… I was with my wife of 30 years at a restaurant … I had just taken a bite… and my wife mentioned that Glenn had passed away… and the gentle tears flowed.
When you see the smiles of his contemporaries you know he’s special.
Sadly missed
I have always loved this clip. Sadly, it reminds me of the great talent that we have lost. I remember seeing Glen and Guitar Man Jerry Reed back in 1970 at the Arkansas State Fair. They were to guitar what Ray is to the keyboard.
Patrick Beck wow you so lucky. U Americans have access to the best singers.!! From Scotland. X best wishes.
They surely in Heaven now playing for our God, one day we will join them and enjoy it for the rest of our eternal life.
Absolute Legend, sadly missed missed by million n millions of people on this Planet, RIP Glen , we all still love you 😊
So much talent in that room and Roy Clark and everyone else was totally in awe of Glen : ))))))
Roy had a (jealous) smile frozen to his face the whole time because, though he himself was a great picker, Glen left him in the dust and Roy knew it! He put on a brave face, to his credit, but Glen's clean lines just dusted everything.
@@texasaggie75 I do not think it was jealousy all. He Genuinely was in awe of Glenn’s phenomenal talent.
@@grayson1946 ok.
Roy could play, too.
And it doesn't get any better than that. Brings back a ton of memories, a simpler time.
This is a wonderful performance. I especially love the expression on Roy Clark's face as he listens and watches Glen. Roy has the wonder and admiration of a boy watching one of his heroes. It makes me admire them both even more.
Glenn Campbell and Roy Clark were as good or better than any other guitarists.
You couldn't afford to get this level of talent together today.
And Roy was one of Glenn's heroes as well.
You can't put Roy Clark in Glen Cambell's category of talent. Roy could make you think he was great by his comedy antics and pretending it was so difficult, but he made a lot of mistakes and covered them up by acting silly, which the people loved and interpreted that as being great. But if you played guitar you would see the difference in Cambells talent and Roy Clark or any other country guitarist's capabilities.
When one looks close and sees the genuine admiration from his peers, especially those who the camera focuses on on, including Roy Clark and Chet Atkins, it give one hope that there are very good human beings on this planet.
Even a teenage rocker like me, in the sixties, would turn up Glen when one of his songs came on the radio. Much later I realized that the Nashville cats were the most talented music makers on the planet.
Glen is smooth like glass and can char a guitar from the lightning in his fingers none finer . Awesome!
"Char a guitar". I'll remember that - nice!
Una delle piu belle canzoni di Glen.... 😊😍😘😘🎶🎶💘❤️💯💯💋🍀
Glen Campbell was such a great guitar player.
More talent on that stage than anyone can ever imagine!
the biggest shame of all is that there are so many stars on that stage, and an empty room watching them sparkle.
Thats what happens filming for tv
Glen was never a person to take the easy way. How he always has to play every note, key change and chord on his guitar still blows me away.
My father would always be playing Glen was I was growing up so I knew a lot of his music. Until recently I had no idea how good of a musician he was and that he is recognised as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Exceptional talent.
Beautiful guitar solo. So melodic.
The rhythm of this song is truly captivating.
We were blessed to have him and the enduring gifts he left us !
Just watched Glen's last performance singing "Gentle on my Mind." Very sad for all of us. My Heart goes out to Glen's wife and family. My Sincere condolences.
Thankyou for the Courage all of you to show it.
I humbly pay my deepest respects to Glen and his GOD given talents. One of the finest (in my opinion) guitar players and vocalists...ever!
Glen's performance of "Gentle on my Mind" hosted by Ralph Emery is truly wonderful to listen to and watch.
Thankyou for the Great memories Glen..you've gone to a far better Resting Place...
Glen Campbell was a class act and his guitar playing is as good as anything on the planet 👏
Why is there no audience? The talent on this stage is worthy of a full stadium.
Ohh man this song never gets old!! Listen to it on a daily basis!
I saw Glen live in 2005, right before he got really sick. The first half of the show was his classics and the second half was him singing Christmas songs. What and unbelievable experience
We saw Glen at his last tour at the Paramount Theater in Seattle. RIP forever.😊
Such phrasing and melodic intelligence! Glenn's guitar playing isn't human! When Roy Clark is looking over impressed.....holy cow!
And Chet Atkins...
@@nickmariotti4241 And all 3 would point at the other 2 and say those guys were better
@@jmazoso Agreed. I have to wonder how it was that Roy and Glen never officially got the "c.g.p." degree from Chet. I can only assume it was on Chet's "to do" list. Or Chet felt that they were better than he was and so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to presume to "honor" them.
And sure, even Willie & Crystal enjoying Glen's talent !!!
John Hartford, what a songwriter
When you are on stage with Roy Clark and Chet Atkins and are the best guitarist of the bunch...
When you hypnotize absolute legends around you with your talent. He was universally respected by artists from ALL genres. He was a master musician and equally wonderful human being.
Hard to believe all that talent in one room, but Glen is number one.
I seen him give an interview and it’s on here somewhere on RUclips but he was playing different styles of guitar and then did his Eddie Van Halen style and it blew me away.. him and Roy Clark are something special
All those smiling faces. Great performance.
I was 6 or 7 years old when Glens variety show debuted on national television. My oldest brother who then bared a stark resemblance to Glen, was deployed to Vietnam. My brother had a band before joining the Marines. So on the night the show aired, the phone began to ring from many of our neighbors who thought the guy they were watching on television was my oldest brother under a stage name. This went on for a couple more weeks to the point my parents started to question Ricks whereabouts. Glen Campbell has given all of us so many wonderful songs that helped us to navigate life just a little easier and funnier at times. Rest easy Glen and thanks for the many memories.
What a guitar player! What a talent!
If I was rich enough I’d go nowhere without a band like that behind me! Absolute first class musicians, first few bars and boom there they are in the groove. I always rated Glen as a fellow guitarist what he does here is sheer perfection.
I'm so glad my parents introduced me to artists like Glen Campbell. The world is poorer for the absence of this caliber of talent here.
If I can add to your post... and the world is richer for him having shared his musical gifts with us.
From the first note that Glenn played they all remembered how great Glenn Campbell is and what he has done for Country music ! Everyone in the rooms owes a debt of gratitude to Glenn Campbell for bringing Country music to the main stream with the Glenn Campbell Goodtime Hour TV show ! Glenn was one of the Greats that never got enough credit in my opinion!
I remember hearing this when I was kid back in the 60s.
I was first introduced to the music of John Hartford in the early 70's and was a big fan of Gentle on my mind before Glen recorded it. His cover of this wonderful Hartford song became very popular and made Hartford a rich man. What I always appreciated about Glen is that he always gave John credit for the song.
There are 3 of the greatest guitarists in music in that room! Chet Atkins pickin along is a great combo....
I fell in love with this man back in 19 68. I was 15 . Loved him ever since . An amazing talent . God bless you Glen Campbell.❤️
Good morning. I too was 15 in 1968. In my opinion Glen Campbell was THE most underrated guitar player. Period. And one helluva singer/songwriter also. I have admired this man my whole life. Such a talent. Pretty sure he is missed by many. Myself included. RIP kind sir. You made the world a better place.
@@bobvogel2412 wonderfully put . You have said everything I wanted to say and more !👏👏👏👏
Two musical geniuses: Glenn and Ray. ❤❤❤❤. Glenn you are sorely missed.😢
I've loved this song since it came out (yeah, I'm old), but this is the best rendition ever. I especially like watching the drummer -- he's definitely into it; maybe he knew how special this session was
Man, the great talent on the stage admiring a great talent singing a great song...
The greats are in awe of his talent
Glen Campbell was a great talent. I'm sorry to say I did not appreciate him in my youth. Now, because of people keeping his reputation alive I'm completely transformed to a huge fan. The man had no formal training. Amazing. I have a back up track of Gentle On My Mind and am wearing it out singing along while driving. Also bought Glen's Greatest Hits with all the great Jimmy Web songs.
The guitar solo shows how talented Glen was. RIP
He never be underrated.
Oppositely,he was one of
the most top talented
guitarist n singer in western musical world.
I cry when i think we lost such a talent and a gentleman too
I once thought that I hated country music. But Glen Campbell and many of the people he's surrounded by here, including Chet Atkins, Willie Nelson, Crystal Gayle, Roy Clark, et al., were part of the tradition of country and bluegrass music that was a real American artform. What country music evolved into is a commercial mess of bland, homogenous crap. Hearing this song really surprised me by taking me back to my childhood in the 1960s. He was a bigger part of it than I ever noticed.
What sublime talent Glen had .
my god was Glen talented. Waylon is my favorite but man Glen has so much talent. Must be the greatest guitar player in country music history. Am I right? Jerry Reed, Vince Gill and Keith Urban are all great. But wow is Glen incredible
Roy Clark is arguably one of the best also.
Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed should have their own version of Mt. Rushmore as the top guitar players ever..certainly in Country Music, and a good case could be made for any music genr. Maybe Vince Gill as an alternate lol...Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, and Ricky Skaggs could make good arguments for their own inclusion too...but Glen, Roy, Chet, and Jerry are THE top dogs and my mind can't be changed on them.
@@GLH5MHILciao amico!🙋😊💘🌅
Glen’s musical skills were gifted from a power that Nature has yet to define.
He was a member of the wrecking crew in the 60's. He played on everyone's records1
Glen’s talent was 10/10
Glen was a very great singer, I love him and his Songs, I will never forget him...best regards from Henry, Berlin. 😢
It's honor to see this with Glen Campbell and other greats 🎶
Glen was great singer song writer and guitar player. He was really talented.
Glenn performed on countless recordings in the studio (wrecking crew) On Strangers in the night, River deep Mountain high, Johnny Angel, Good vibrations and most of all the early beach boy records. Watch the movie “baby the rain must fall” with Steve McQueen that’s Glen Campbell on guitar and Hal Blaine on drums in the movie. See what Alice Cooper said about Glenn!!!! A lot of the hit songs back in the day, was Glenn Campbell, Leon Russell, Hal Blaine, Tommy Tedesco and so many other great session musicians that actually played the music on the records you were listening to.
When I walk through the Gate of Gods Eternal heaven and meet God my savior . I wanna ask the creator where I can find Glen! And sit down by the River of living waters with Glen and watch Him play this song again ❤️ RIP Glen.
Wondering what Ched Atkins was thinking while looking at Glen’s guitar picking….” I can do that”. The musical talent in that room was incredible to see. 👍👍👍
Gentle on my Mind is one of the greatest vinyl albums ever created. Brilliant.
Glen Campbell was pure talent.
What fascinates me besides the song itself is these giants of country music watching so intently the way Glen plays the guitar.
I know that we honor people and their greatness in special tributes like Kennedy Center Honores, and Life Time Achievement awards, and the like. But it seems like we never truly understand how terrific they were untill their gone.
The smiles of the others after the guitar solo says ok we have no shot.
Bobby Bare is one of my favorite country singer of all time.
Damn I miss real country music like these legends made
A moment in time never to be repeated. all the greatest of the great all together at the same place and time indeed priceless thankyou for this memorable moment
He is one of the greatest musicians of all time
One Big Jam Session of the greatest country music gang! They all bring back great memories!
One man "Wrecking Crew" ......god bless him. Gentle on my mind!! Thank you Glen.
this man was a true performer and a true professional nobody like him amazing talent
What a legend when America was great what has happened to this country. I remember watching hee Haw in the 70s, Glen Campbell was an icon and yes he had amazing talent really a great guy, made a lot of people happy just great music. God bless.
Seen this numerous times and it still gives me chills ... beyond amazing... what an assembly of greats
God must have smiled when He made and placed all that talent in Glen Campbell...everytime Glen played and sang he proved God's exsistance.
There it was Roy Clark and Glenn Campbell, the 2 best guitarist the world has ever seen! Chet Atkins and Willie both have to be in the top 20 too.
I would include Jerry Reed in the group also.
True talent, brilliant👏👏👏🙌
Beautiful song and Glenn is so great. God bless you all.
