Glen Campbell was never afraid to take risks and somehow he always came out looking cool. You can't beat that.. such a talent!

Awesome video! I'm an old guy(58) and grew up seeing Glen Campbell on TV in the '70s seemingly everywhere. I'm not a big country fan, and I don't recall being all that into Glen back in the day.(Van Halen, Judas Priest- you get the idea) . He was just one of those guys that it seemed like every time you turned on the TV, there he was. But now that I'm older and wiser, I have in recent years begun to really appreciate what this man was capable of. Songs that I used to hear on the radio, like "Wichita Lineman " I never REALLY listened to. I didn't realize how incredible they were. The rendition of "A thing called love" that Glen plays on this video absolutely floored me, and I had to hear it over and over!!

10:50, he starts A Thing Called Love. I am absolutely stunned. Glen’s performance level is through the roof. There are very few musicians who get a guitar and play and sing like that live on the go. It seems simple but everyone here who plays guitar or sings or know a thing or two about music can appreciate how high his level is. It sounds so good and so natural and so sweet. It’s a gift that keeps on giving. RIP Glen. What a master!!!

One of musical heroes playing his Ovation guitar. He had so much talent and looks.

Glen Campbell had perfect pitch started at five and learned a lot of it from his uncle who was also a studio musician. Most people don't know it but he was one of the very best guitar players in the world. god, am I gonna' miss him.

What a true talent and class act....he makes it look so effortless. Beautiful voice and awesome picking.....nothing else needed. RIP Glen.

He was unbelievably talented.

The ' song about love ', live , could have been a one' take recording ' . An absolute gem . Billy was probably itching to play along with his banjo !

This is a fine example of Glen's vocal and guitar skills along with his great sense of humor! Subbing tonight!

Man, oh man, this is a great vid to hear GC really get into talking about music and his playing. This vid should have a million likes!

The song after Rhinestone cowboy, where he is talking with Parky, just picks up the guitar and starts playing is amazing!!!

1981... the weather was warmer, the grass was greener, the sky was bluer and the smiles were.... bright

Beautiful voice and such a talented guitar player

Glen Campbell was one of the greatest of all time.

My favorite of his performances of this song.

This is my favorite version that Glen sings of this song, of all the others I've found thus far.

What a cool voice , NO SWEAT, God bless you Glenn

Glen's talent, intellect, & sense of humor allowed him to hold his own with anyone. A very unique individual.

Show me one of these contemporary "musicians" do an interview like this. He was so comfortable with himself.

So glad that there is so many recordingS of the music genious!

my fav song as a kid i just bought a ovation celebrity elite cant wait to play it 😊

Would love to have heard a jam with Glen Campbell and Tommy Emmanuel.

Just talks and plays and sings ,second nature to this amazing talent Glen Campbell !

Pure musical gift. What a talented dude.

I saw this live when I was a kid - 15 - and I remember recording 'A Thing Called Love' off the TV on an audio tape. I carried it around with me for ages and eventually learned to play the guitar and a version of it a few years later. I lost the tape, but wonderful to see it now. Thanks youtube, and breatube.

I love the flute in the orchestra.

Really enjoyed that. Thx for sharing

Song has been stuck in my head for three weeks

I first heard the song when I was 16yo playing solfball ...wow wonderful

my favourite artist - RIP

I am sure this song was my very favourite GC song! I rehearsed it ad nauseum intending to sing it at 'Freshers' Night' in college. Never got the chance to sing it; seniors decided what song was to be sung!

"A Thing Called Love" is a song written and originally recorded by Jerry Reed[

Colonel Parker intentionally didn't allow Elvis to appear on talk shows. He didn't think they could help his career in any way. Glen Campbell took the opposite approach, did as many of them as he could. Lucky for us KZfaq viewers.

Beard before cool, voice before sleep, guitar before slash! Tha what

Such a legend and an amazing guitar

Highly entertaining! Although I could have benefitted from captions when the Brits were speaking, I can't imagine a more delightful and hilarious interview. Who knew how much craziness could ensue from a simple guitar strap! Thanks for the upload, @breautube.

Such a great talent; part of the original "Wrecking Crew" in L.A. Very sad how he left us.

awesome music man

Awsome Guitar Player

Unbelievable talent

A great interview

Amazing guy!

When I was a kid I thought he was singing "getting caught in the alley with people I don't even know"

Legend

Ptue talent and gifted man. We need more since of humor like this.

rip, man.

Glen was amazing!

great voice

Awesome!

13:29 playing bass with The Beach Boys

fantastik

He does Arizona proud!

Awesome

I love the old Ovation Guitar! Glen Kicked Ass! Most of todays music is pure garbage!

What a talented man!

Achingly beautiful.

What a great guitar arrangement. Who was the idiot who provided the chair with arms and the unplayable bagpipes.

the volume on guitar wasnt high enough.

Don’t think there’s anything that Glen couldn’t do.

$2000? Way back then? So what would that be, $20,000 today? Recent reviews on youtube have the Ovation Celebrity being priced at $400-500. Wonder what model his was and why it cost so much more.

Larry Weiss brought me here.

I own his guitar that he’s playing

Seeing this is making me want to learn chicken pickin' cause he did it so great, but that's just not the way youtube guitar teachers are teaching fingerpicking. Not sure if the more common way can be made to sound as good as his way until I see someone do it that way, then I'll be convinced.

My mum hated this episode cause Billy was laughing at Jeremys posh voice till Parky, giggling himself, told him to stop it. She thought Glen referencing glasgow & scotland made Billy clam up temporarily as he was going through his usual love affair with the scottish media.

Speaking of gay guys, the one on the end is wearing women's shoes. You can see a close up at 11:24.

At 13:10 I can't understand what either of them are talking about. The audio is terrible. Then all the way through 14:32, the interviewer's brit accent is difficult to understand.

Connolly seemed to be the only one who really dug Glen--the others just saw a wealthy American and were willing to ignore him. He played so effortlessly he made it look easy--but Connolly got it.

Obviously the bagpipes were a step too far for such a brilliant musician, he probably thought ok I may have Scottish roots but who wants to listen to an instrument that sounds like 5 screaming Cats?.

Glen Campbell records sold 50 million, Elvis Presley over 1 Billion records sold.
