Here's the entire (appears like) SD Symphony Concert on youtube: youtube link here
He went back to Arkansas and had his preacher brother baptize him in a little creek they used to swim in.
“I hear you singin’ in the wire
I can hear you through the whine..”
Yes, we can hear her too, can’t we?
Amazing song, like so much of what Jimmy Webb wrote.
And Glen had such a distinctive sound, you knew right away it was him!
Very sad. God grace, Glen!
That is amazing. I think there are only about two background singers in Nashville and they record on every record like Glenn Campbell did. The difference is Glenn never played two licks that sounded alike.
Decades ago there was a genius woman who answered questions that appeared in the Sunday newspaper. Someone asked her if there would ever come a day when every melody has ever been written. She replied “Yes, but you won’t have time to hear them all.” I think that day has come. There’s nothing left to write.
Wow! Thanks for the link. Watched about 10 minutes of it. Will have to see the rest of it tomorrow. Thanks!
It was a great song for sure.
The Luke Bryan song was from a line by Matt McConaughey in the film DAZED AND CONFUSED.
My favorite of all his songs. ...and the Wichita lineman ..is still on the liiiine ...beep beep. LOL
This concert - 1.5 hours - is amazing. You have to watch it to believe how good it is.
Beyond a doubt, Country Music today sucks! And I love old Country (pre-1990s).
Excellent, Thanks.
I can remember this song playing on the AM radio in the car when I was about 8.
I was usually in the back of the station wagon plotting fresh deviltry.
LOL
“MacArthur Park” is a different one. Those lyrics had to be difficult to put to music.
LOL
(No doubt the rivalry with the Fighting Artichokes was truly epic...)
I once knew a girl, sort of cute, whose favorite song was “McArthur Park”. I never could understand it. She was just a bit of a mental case tho.
This had to be the Summer of 1971. Not sure when the song was popular.
FYI: I think I remember hearing McArthurs Park is THE hardest Rock n Roll song to sing in key.
Man this version is to cool...
Damn good guitar player.
Really nice. His playing reminds me of Alvin Lee’s towards the end of this version of Tulsa Queen:

One of my favorite Glen Campbell songs, “I’d build a bridge”
