As touring sound engineer for the Oak Ridge Boys I got to spend a good bit of time with Glen at his theater in Branson which the Oaks would eventually take over. He loved telling stories about those days and always had a good joke.He was more comfortable with the band and crew guys. Got to watch him perform all the great hits including "Lineman". Although he was getting on in years he still could shred and put on a great show. A good guy.

@scottycasteel 5 ай бұрын

I got to see him a lot as well in Branson. I worked at the Grand Palace when he was there as well as the Oaks. Learned a lot and have some great memories from that time. Also worked at Charley Pride's in '97. We might have crossed paths.

Tim, thank you very much for this video. My Dad was a lineman and a musician. He used to play and sing this song at company functions but he would change Wichita to Ouachita (Arkansas) lineman and they loved it! My Dad reminded me of Glen when I was a kid because he looked like him and he played all Glen’s songs very well. Last, we went to a Glen Campbell show in Little Rock in the early 2000’s and when Glen was performing Rhinestone Cowboy my 7 year old son joined Glen on stage to help sing…we were shocked because he just ran to the stage and was invited up. Thanks for bringing all these great memories back.

Thanks for this! Reading through the comments, it's truly amazing how a song can affect so many different people in remarkably similar ways. For me, I first heard this track when I was in my early teens. When I was 17, I started cycling and hitchhiking around the country every summer for 4 or 5 weeks and this song was one of my favourites. It seemed to somehow capture the dusty sunsets on empty highways and the wide open spaces that I was experiencing -- it still makes me cry 50 years later.

I hadn’t heard this song for many years and an early morning trip to an Acme grocery store 15 years or so, ago changed that. This beautiful piece of art was echoing in that most empty store. The bass lines bouncing off the walls, it truly was a life altering moment. When I got back home, I immediately downloaded the song and the other great, “Galveston”. I was sure to get the vinyl versions as soon as I could.

New sub here. This video just popped up as a YT recommend and I am SOOO HAPPY I got to watch and listen. Thank YOU Tim,, thank you so much. I was/am a fan of Glen Campbell forever (I'm 77), bought every one of his albums and watched everything I could on television. Of course back in those days we didn't have a way to learn of everything he was doing in time to get to watch on our TV's. Thank goodness to KZfaq we can now watch and hear just about every tv show on which he performed. I especially enjoyed seeing Glenn and Jerry Reed play together. Few (in those times) could hold a candle to the guitar playing talent those two had.

Growing up in the 70s it was hard not to know Glen's solo hits as they were on the radio all the time. I didn't know about his session work (or the Wrecking Crew) until I was in college in the 80s. Became a fan then! My wife took me to see Glen in the mid-1990s...we were the youngest people in the audience in our mid-20s and the show was amazing. At one point he pulled out an electric 12 and whipped through his arrangement of the William Tell Overture and Flight of the Bumbebee almost like an afterthought. Amazing musician. Thanks for this retrospective Tim, really enjoyed your insights!
