I found myself with a sniffling nose, teary eyes, and an audience of one clapping at the end. I needed Camelot today.

I just love when he screams, “Lancelot come save her!”

This was wonderful to watch, a live recorded performance of Camelot with Richard Harris, was awesome to watch, have seen the theatrical version, this performance had me laughing and crying through the whole performance. Richard Harris will be missed

Richard Amiens as Lancelot is phenomenal and wonderful to look at

What a wonderful production of Camelot…very well done! Richard Harris was wonderful in this!!!

King Arthur's posture while sitting in his chair tells the entire story...acting without words is wonderfully demonstrated by Richard Harris. the acting during "What Do The Simple Folk Do?' was so well done in this version. Are those real tears I'm seeing as Arthur laments over justice and revenge to Lancelot and Guenevere? So sad and frustrating for all...and Lancelot has tears as well...wonderfully acted. Excellent directing to hold the closeup on Arthur's tear soaked face. "...one brief SHINING MOMENT..." Could there be a better acted line anywhere? "Here is my victory!" WOW!!! This Act III is the very best version...even better than the movie! YES!!

Richard Harris, just wonderful, always wonderful.

When Mordrid sits on the King’s throne. Harris brilliant moment.

Congratulations too you for this beautiful musical performance you all awesome 👏 Bravo 👏 Bravo 👏 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you 🏰👑👍❤️👏💐💐💐

I have watched this so many times and I'm still in amazement over the story and the cast and yes I do cry right along with Author every time 1982 was one of the last good years I had and this show brings me back there when I need it THANK GOD FOR CAMELOT and Richard Harris!!!!!!

God rest Richard Harris. He is King Arthur. I get so lost in his deep blue eyes so full of emotion. And, when Arthur's heart is broken, and his tears fall, mine do too😔

Magnificent Richard Harris ,how wonderful ,love your performance 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

the kid ;;;; he's everyone of us who grew with these stories. I simply loved it.

I like this version of the Arthur-in-the-forest scene better than the version where Mordred bribes Morgan le Fay to trap Arthur. (Most productions don't use that anyway.) This version makes it Arthur's choice and allows Mordred to give him that choice, making it more of a battle of wills and philosophies. (Plus, I like the fact that Arthur seems to want Mordred to become a worthy son and heir.)

I’m singing If Ever I Would Leave You for a vocal class. And by god this version of it was beautiful

Thank you SO much for posting all three parts of this musical. I saw it when it originally aired on HBO and have loved it ever since. I had it on a videotape that disappeared and was heartbroken. Today I got to relive those magic moments. It brought me to tears more than once but then, a good story always does.

This whole musical is so emotional for me..........love it when i need to cry and can't.

One of my favorites of all time. It is timeless. Wonderful and one of the most memorable . .a real inspiration for me.

Amazing and such a great actor for ever Richard Harris!

That is what a musical should be. Most modern shows can’t hold a candle to this.

This has go to be the most powerful version of Guinevere I have ever heard t the chorus kills it.

Saw this exact company perform this in Detroit! It was amazing and I still have the program from the performance1

Thank you so very much for putting this on on KZfaq. I would never have been able enjoy this show otherwise. I loved every minute of it. Richard Harris is truly gifted in his craft.

I got to see Richard Harris as Arthur in the revival from the 80's. I even have the program guide and playbill for at least one of the performances I attended. What a wonderful production. I would have loved to have seen Roddy McDowell as Mordred, though.

I learned "What Do the Simple Folk Do?" from my own audio-tape-recorded version of this version. We didn't have a VCR yet at that time. Never thought I would actually get to *see* it again until I finally found it on KZfaq a few years ago. Thank you for posting. ^___^

"There are no boundaries up here. There are no boundaries anywhere." Exactly.

Definitely one of the most romantic musicals of all time.

Such a powerful performance!

Beautifully done! Love Richard Harris! I have been wanting to see this version for YEARS! Thank you so much for this!

Thank you for uploading this!!! Long live Camelot!!!!

Beautiful! We need more good plays like this one. Thank you so much for sharing!

❤️ This always gets me weeping!

"Lance. Jenny. Be wise." (Cue the music for "Guinevere") Nice foreshadowing.

My favorite musical by far. I have loved this play since I was in high school in the early sixties when we put the play on. It made me interested in the Arthurian legend and I have read so many books over my lifetime about it. The songs in the play are wonderful, funny, sad, joyful, playful and poignant. The last scene always moves me as it laments the weakness of us all but celebrates those "brief shinning moments" of joy and happiness.

Thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated every moment.Thank you!

I remember watching this when it originally aired. I had spent many hours that summer listening to the original Broadway cast recording (Richard Burton, Julie Andrews, Robert Goulet), singing along, and acting it out in our living room. I may have been a 12-year-old girl, but I was fervently drawn to the idealist Arthur, the tragic hero whose only mistake was trusting & hoping too much. I even fashioned myself a tunic for my performing. This is the first time I have viewed these performances since my original viewing 38 years ago. While some of the timing was a bit different in my memory, 49:04 "Some of them [the drops in the ocean] _do_ sparkle!" sounds exactly as I remember! (And yes, I cried on this viewing, as I cry every time I even repeat the lines to someone. It's a powerful, evocative, inspiring concept and execution.)

Just what the Doctor ordered. Thanks to Mom and Dad, and all the originals. Well Done!

great performance !!

So Awesome . . . Richard Meunce

Awesome performance like no other!😍

Some of the songs are missing, but to is the best picture of the show. It came out in 1960 and I saw it on stage then. It was also the year John Kennedy was elected, an event so filled with hope, and inevitably comparisons were made, and the name Camelot was used by journalists to describe the new administration.

Thanks so much for posting!

Richard Muenz as Lancelot singing If Ever I Would Leave You was so beautiful. Does he have this recorded in a cd? Amazing voice!

Thank you for uploading this!!!!!

Thank a lot for posting this beautiful musical!

Magnificent...

We need all these shows and talents resurrected.

Thank you!

Richard Harris is really crying at 39:23

Harris is awesome here, so much better than he was in the movie. His acting style is much more suited for the stage.

Lancelot is marvelous, his voice is superb. Mordred is well played, only he has no English accent. But he does villainy quite convincingly.

Fantastic ,, XXX

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Meg Bussert as Guenevere strongly resembles screen actress Susan Hayward? Susan sadly died of cancer at age 57, eight years before this production of Camelot was recorded.

A ''WINK' --into the hopes for the future' of this world. 'Rose at the Barn'

Wonderful musical and Richard Harris is perfect - had me in tears at the end. However, I did prefer him in the film version. This Guinevere left me cold, though - dull as dishwater, a voice too dramatically operatic for my liking and a look that makes me think Good Witch from Oz.

Mordred has a very good wicked laugh. I always did love the line about how not having him here makes it seem like a party. 😉 I think I have known a few people...matching that description. 😉

The actor who plays Mordred looks a little like Mark Hamill, doesn't he? Matter of fact, wouldn't a young Mark Hamill have made a good Mordred?

Guenevere is just a little lackluster. She doesn't convince me she is in love with him. She is very restrained.

Lasr time I saw this my mother was alive. We enjoyed this on HBO. And put it on a vcr. I love this production. And I miss my mom.again.20+ years she is gone. Dm...onions.oh. I don't like Mordrid .

I ADORE READING

YES HE IS!

33:07 is guenevere 46:10 (47:55) is finale ultimo

love the version of cameleot im used to the one on the record

Thanks for posting. I remember seeing it in a hotel room in 1982 and it was wonderful. I think it is better than the movie. Especially how the song Guinevere was handled.

great

The kid who they chose to play Tom Of Warwick is overdoing the diction a bit but is otherwise a perfect choice for the role...adoring, angelic, enthusiastic, and innocent.

Richard Harris's performance here was 10 times better than his performance in the movie. I guess he is just better on the stage.

I actually found this version of the script online with the exception that it still included the Morgan LeFey scene, song and all. I really thought "Take Me to the Fair" dated back to the original script. Guess not. The strange thing about the script is (maybe this is because it was written in the late 50s) the love between Lance and Jenny comes off as more of "L'amour courtoise" and you have trouble seeing how any jury would have convicted (probably all men, as in the movie...). Also, Mordred just kind of appears and incites in a way that defies logic in terms of the pacing. I know people have commented about the movie being a bit overblown, but in terms of the drama and pacing and overall clarity of the relationship between Lance and Jenny, I feel like it made more sense and evoked more pathos. I understand that this version of the script may have been tailored to 1950s mores, which were more conservative (so maybe they took the "tell, don't show" approach) but I think the later iterations of the script made a little more sense. Missed "Fie on goodness" but was happy to hear "Before I gaze at you again" and "7 Deadly Virtues." This Mordred was really nasty! Loved the kid at the end and the scene with him and Arthur!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I’m glad Richard Harris came back one more time to do King Arthur

Hope to watch conclusion later ❤

NICE JOB...JACK ENGLISH...9/2014...

"Are you happy, Your Majesty?" Well, he usually was until *you* came along. Thanks for asking.

I will always wonder how Harris's performance here compares with Burton's performance in the original.

How to handle a woman! In my wife's case with extreme caution, if at all!

Richard Muenz

I know this is old, but I have to say that I loved this, specially the song "Guenevere". I can feel the anguish of Arthur and Guenevere, the joy of Mordred, revelling in the destruction of the Table and all it represents, and the indignation of the knights knowing what the best of them did with the queen and later suffering many deaths at the hands of the same knight. I'm not sure I'm correct in who it is the main solo singer (I'm guessing Sir Dinadan), but I loved his performance there, even more if he is the knight associated with lighthearted jokes. IDK, maybe this production really is lackluster in comparison to the others I haven't fully watched, snd seeing Harris' face while bowing to the public is genuinely deppressing, but that song (along with "The Seven Deadly Virtues" and "Camelot") are the ones I love revisiting from here and I see few people talking about it. (Or maybe I'm just ignorant and lacking in good taste. That could also be it.)

amazing but my only complaint is they took out "then you may take me to the fair" and "fie on goodness" and they shortened "the lusty month of may" and "what do the simple folk do" who knows what else they shortened and took out I wouldn't know because I wasn't alive even in 1982

THE GLORIOUS DAY'S OF CAMELOT WHEN GUINEVERE WAS QUEEN.......ARE YOU SITTING COMFORTABLY IN MERLINS CASTING SPELLS......🏰👑💍💗🙏👼💞💞💞💞💞👑👑👑💍

If looks could kill...

Closing curtain... Is Richard Harris just wiped out from his performance? Or too cool for bows? Just curious.

Lancelot come save her

10:00 omg

DOES NOT GET BETTER.

Franco Nero the only Lancelot ........and if only he had Goulet voice he would have been perfection.

Who is the actor who plays Lancelot?

They cut Morgan Le Fay 😭

He sure ain't Robert Goulet...

43:08

I can't help but wonder why Richard Harris looks about ready to kill himself during his bow in the curtain call. He shouldn't still be in character during bows, and even if he is, the show ends on a relatively hopeful note. Not even a smile, Richard?

I still like the movie better. At 18:25 why do they stop singing and look so sad?

the recent nation tour was awful :(

does anyone know who owns the rights to this show now that richard Harris has passed? Who owns the rights to this show now? - Who would you cast?

The best Lancelot and the worst Guinevere ever! Not a single emotion crosses her face. No reason for either man to be in love with her.

I did not think it held a candle to the movie. I liked Richard Harris, but not the others. Listen to either soundtrack instead. I have seen many Broadway plays and watched filmed stage productions before. This did not sparkle. Nice try though... supporting cast sinks it.

Great show but Dinadan is way out of character.

43:15
