Fantastic singer & musician that truly had it all. I grew up on Glen Campbell from the early 70's & through all of his madness & mildness, ( I think we all have the potential for Demons whether they be Natural or Synthetic ), & therefore I only ever listened to the performer & [....] the Gutter Press. My family & friends have often remarked on how under-rated he really is on the World Stage of Country & Western. He really reminds me of George Harrison of Beatles fame...just making awesome music & getting on with it. You may watch these guy's at their Craft but it is not until a little while after that you realize you've witnessed a Real Super Star that made you feel as if you were sitting in the Scullery with a few Hot Whiskey's inside you & that Warm & Homely, Safe Feeling engulfing you.
Thank You so much for Posting this & for all of the Music you are Posting. Here in Ireland we were never shown The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour or any of his TV shows. We were so censored by the Fecking Catholic Church that even Dean Martin's Show & many of Sinatra's television appearances were never aired here either. My father is 80 years old now and he was diagnosed with that Cruel Bastard that is Alzheimer's...it is an early diagnosis but he has a form that is extremely rare & normally only affects young 40-45 year olds. Anyhow he is still a very Happy man and just Loves his Music...all kinds of music but Glen Campbell is the only musician my father ever saw here in Ireland...Oh sorry he also went to the Eagles Concert in the early 90's in Dublin...but Campbell to my Old man was something exceptional. I play these songs you have posted often to him & we remark on how many views a particular song has reached each day ( if it's a favorite of his I am tortured replaying it LOL). Anyhow I have rambled on here for long enough but Thank You Again from the bottom of my Heart for posting these American only concerts like above as we would never have seen it other wise.
I have just Subscribed to your Channel there now and I am really hoping for more of the same from your collection. Your Good Friend had fantastic taste in Music mate & if ever a person wanted an example of the inter- connectedness of everyone then just read what I have said above. I am sure Philip Jones from Rock Hill SC. never realized an Irish man would be raving about his recordings now, today in 2016!! But without his Love of Glen Campbell then Classic recordings like this one with Willie Nelson, above, would have remained an American audience only recording that my Old Man & I would never have seen.
Rest In Peace You Exceptional Human Being, Philip Jones of Rock Hill SC. & Thank You : Glen Campbell Forums for sharing this beautiful music.

I know Glen is not a Jazzer but he sure could play and sing, although i never disliked him as a kid, thought that kind music was bit square, i then heard him maybe 10 years ago, playing some Jazz Fusion
and he was ridiculously hot, he could play any style, but was Marketed as more a country easy music.
Anyway this is fairly newish unreleased, great vocals right there with all the others, just a very good musician.
Actually the first time I heard Glen Campbell was on a album called "Dylan Jazz". Jim Horn was the leader and some of the other Wrecking Crew including Glen were the band. Glen tore it up on that album, Glen could play anything.

Please let us remember the excellence in this greatest of the greats, Glen Campbell to have done one of the greatest of all, The William Tell Overture with a full orchestra.
I heard it once said Glen Campbell would really walk into a recording session and ask to "sit-in". He truly is a remarkable individual to have hoisted that guitar up onto his back and kept perfect time as he played. I had pulled off a bit of the Foggy Mt. Breakdown on my banjo hoisted up. But, this is a totally different ball game all together. Glen Campbell the greatest.

I was a teen in the 70's. I didn't listen to country music, but Glen's music crossed over into the pop charts. All my friends knew many of his hit songs. I had no idea what an accomplished musician he was until months ago. A friend who sings the old classic country music in karaoke got me interested enough in the genre to learn many of duets to sing with him. It was during this time that we started talking about Glen Campbell and he told me what a great guitarist he was. Then he told me that he had Alzheimer's disease and told me to rent the documentary called I'll Be Me of his life and his family's life dealing with the disease. I found it on Netflix. It was very late at night and I was tired when I was watching it, but I couldn't go to bed until it was finished. I watched it again a few days later and will probably watch it many times.
It saddens me that since the documentary was made, Glen has gotten much worse and is now in the end stages of the disease. The last thing to go of his beautiful memories was his music. Watch the documentary and you will see how wonderful his family is and how they became his backup band on tour so that he could have one final tour. When he would become disoriented at times, they were there to bring him back. Up until the time they decided it was time to end the tour, his fans were so fantastic. They would never complain if he seemed to be off and would wait patiently while he and his family all regrouped so the concert could continue. Once Glenn got back in his mind, he just picked up where he had left off and never seemed to miss a beat. That part of his mind that housed his tremendous gift of music stayed for a long time. I think about him often ever time I sing a song by him in the female version, of course. It makes me cry a bit every time. I truly believe that God changed his personal life around when he married his latest wife and that they have such joy knowing that God has helped them along the way. What an inspiration. Even his doctors were so amazed.
Well, this is already too long, but I just felt I needed to tell everyone in case some did not know. And I wanted to thank you, GlenCampbellForums.com for posting this video. It just makes me even more amazed at this man's beautiful gift to us all. Everyone who believes in prayer, please try to remember Glen and his family in your prayers from time to time. Thank you for enduring my sequel to War and Peace. lol

The post links to the Glen Campbell Forums On YouTube channel and video "Glen Campbell - William Tell Overture (smokin' instrumental)". (This fan-favorite video uploaded in December 2014 now has 1,645,000 views.)You may never have seen Glen play like this before. This is world-class guitar playing and Campbell makes it look easy. The sounds of Glen Campbell on guitar and the symphony orchestra playing Rossini's "William Tell Overture" will take you back to those golden days of yesteryear, when the strains of the Rossini's masterpiece coming over the radio meant the Lone Ranger show was about to begin.

Kim, we are honored you chose this music video, also recognizing the importance of sharing it with a wider audience.The heartbreaking journey of saying ‘The Long Goodbye’ is not where I want to be, but as long as I’m with Glen, I’m happy to be anywhere! I hope this song Glen co-wrote for the Grammy-winning soundtrack of I’ll Be Me can serve as a birthday message from him to us all as he continues his own Long Walk Home.

On this day (May 17) in 1967, Glen Campbell recorded “Gentle on My Mind,” a tune that earned him a pair of Grammys in the categories for Best Country & Western Solo Vocal Performance (Male) and Best Country & Western Recording. Click to hear Glen perform the iconic tune:

You can read the article here http://www.rollingstone.com/country/vid ... er-w482701" text-strong">LINKED GLEN CAMPBELL FORUMS' VIDEO WITH REFERENCED SONG PERFORMANCE:When Campbell began hosting the CBS variety series, the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, in 1969, Hartford's song served as the series' theme tune and the musician, who played fiddle and banjo, was featured on the show regularly. In late February 1968, Campbell and Hartford, who were frequent participants in music-comedy duo the Smothers Brothers' variety series, taped a performance of the song just ahead of the Grammy Awards, where the song received a total of six nominations.
