Got to see him in person. He was even more spectacular than I could have imagined. Willie Nelson said when talent was handed out, that Glen Campbell got in line twice.
Glen Campbell had perfect pitch. He tuned his own guitar by ear (most good players of music can I know). If his voice isn't good enough for you his guitar playing is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Not enough credit is given to either one of his amazing talents.
Glen is known for his guitar picking, but yes, I’ve always said he has an amazing vocal range, and always on key. If there is anyone out there that can prove me wrong, do it. I have watched many of his videos and can’t think of one. Keep in mind that back in his time, there was no auto tune, and voice correction electronics . This song for example has many changes, and is very hard to sing.
Thanks for reminding me to bring my cake inside before it starts to rain. I just hate soggy cake, and I get tired of forgetful people leaving my tasty cake, green icing and all, out in the rain. RIP Glen Campbell.
After all the loves of my life........What a fabulous way to look back on a life and know exactly what Jimmy Webb meant when he made this wonderous piece of music!!! RIP Glenn......you were the finest, ever.
As it came closer and closer to the long instrumental part, I was wondering to myself what Glenn Campbell was going to do during it, I didn't think he was just going to just stand there for several minutes. Then I remembered that he was part of The Wrecking Crew and assumed he would pick up a guitar and play it, which he did just that. Cool!
He has a manly kind of voice, and yet he can sing in the gentlest ways when he wants to in a song. It's really beautiful. And it's like he's doing intricate technical session-work when he plays guitar on stage. Just phenomenal.
Many, many thanks for posting this. I caught the original broadcast, was knocked out by Campbell's performance, and had resigned myself to never seeing/hearing it again.
What a wonderful performance, thank you Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb for giving us a gift for life, and thank you to that fantastic orchestra, it doesn't get better than this. R.i.p. Glen, always miss you.
spending the afternoon listening to Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb................what a perfict fit........im having a magic time thankyou Mr Campbell AND Mr Webb
I agree the 1977 version from London was the very best he was more exuberant you could tell he was Haveing ten too me of his life. Rest in peace Mr campbell
The best version ever of this great song! Glen Campbell could sing any style of music and was one of the greatest Guitarists of all time! I had the honor to meet Glen in 2011. He was so very nice and down to earth to talk with. Been a fan of his since the 60's and spent many hours listening to his albums. We lost one of the best, we when we lost Glen Campbell.
Beautiful song, thank you Glen Campbell family. We miss Glen, and really miss those days. I'd love to stay in the late 60s and 70s and be a teenager and young adult.
MY GRAMA - RUTH JAMES FROM APSLEY, ONTARRRIO, LOVED GLEN CAMPBELL !!! SHE USED TO SAY TO ME - DID U WATCH GLEN CAMPBELL THE OTHER NIGHT? TO MAKE HER FEEL GOOD I Said yup. THEN SHE WOULD HIT ME WITH 5 BUCKS AND I THOUGHT I WAS THE RICHEST FUCK IN THE WORLD !!!! R I P GRANNY GOOD WITCH AND GLEN CAMPBELL!!!!!
Glen was one of the main guitarists in the early 60's in the LA group of studio musicians known as the Wrecking Crew. So many hit pop songs from the 60's featured Glen Campbell.
Glen Campbell was the first guitarist I recognized as such on his TV show. He made it look like fun, which it came to be...eventually (now it's a joyful addiction).
Here is a song to really challenge a singer, to separate the sheep from the goats, the genuine article from the wanne-bes and their Autotunes. And Glenn does it up big. And then he grabs his guitar and shows us how it's really done. A total musician who lays it all out there.
This, to me, is real music. He has, and always will continue to be, my number 1 musician for my whole life. I paint beautiful paintings when I listen to him sing.
If that didn't get a standing ovation then I don't know what would. C'mon you Boston Brahmins, get off your duff and give the applause that performance deserves!
Yeah, some may well note the audio quality is low on this video, as is the video quality. Some dislike such things. Perfectly understandable. They could be huge fans of Glen also.
"Today Is Mine", one of my all time favorites by both Jerry and Glen. I stepped away from radio for television when it came out and I encouraged a mentor of mine to pick it up as a cover, but he didn't. Holds up just as well today as a ballad. Terrific tune, fine lyrics
, @Brenda Rawlins, I had the privilege and pleasure of introducing him to a Fort Myers audience onstage before retiring from broadcasting. Ironically, our Son with a radio station up north also emceed a show during his farewell tour ten years later.....a far different performance.
I love this song. I love this orchestra under Fiedler most of all. And I absolutely love Jimmy Webb. And I am a HUGE fan of Richard Harris. But no one-no one does it with such passion, feeling, talent as Glen Campbell. God I miss this guy
This is still my favorite of Glen singing MacArthur Park because he hits that high "NO" at the end. Not the slightest bit of pitch up or down. His face is so gaunt, unlike the boyish round face from the decade prior to that, I guess I wonder if he was still doing coke and alcohol. How he survived the 70's is beyond me, but I'm glad he did. Nobody is as talented as he is when it comes to the guitar. Glen was one of the best. I really wish the video could be cleaned up on this.

This could never be duplicated today. So fortunate to be born to enjoy this era of genius.
RIP meistro. Thank you for the music.
This was filmed in July 1978 in Boston, MA, USA
Got to see him in person. He was even more spectacular than I could have imagined. Willie Nelson said when talent was handed out, that Glen Campbell got in line twice.
I think he got in line 10 times!
Me too. Several times. Always a treat.
Many talented, guitarist, and singer’s have said the same thing.
Never heard a sour note from Glen.
Unbeatable talent.
Glen Campbell had perfect pitch. He tuned his own guitar by ear (most good players of music can I know). If his voice isn't good enough for you his guitar playing is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Not enough credit is given to either one of his amazing talents.
I saw flames coming off his guitar !!!!!!!!
@@charleskemp2037 don't make me chuckle. There are moments
@@susanmarshall817 moments of what?

Thank you Jimmy Webb for such a great song. And it's even better with Glen's fantastic abilities.
this song deserves an orchestra!!
Thanks for reminding me to bring my cake inside before it starts to rain. I just hate soggy cake, and I get tired of forgetful people leaving my tasty cake, green icing and all, out in the rain. RIP Glen Campbell.
As a pianist 🎹 I am in awe of this piano playing 👏 👏 👏 .
One of my favourite songs, sung here by the wonderfully talented Glen Campbell 🎤 🎸 🎶 xxxx
After all the loves of my life........What a fabulous way to look back on a life and know exactly what Jimmy Webb meant when he made this wonderous piece of music!!! RIP Glenn......you were the finest, ever.
One of the best guitarists of our time, never gets enuf credit.
I agree 100%
He was a guitarist, probably among the top 10.
As it came closer and closer to the long instrumental part, I was wondering to myself what Glenn Campbell was going to do during it, I didn't think he was just going to just stand there for several minutes. Then I remembered that he was part of The Wrecking Crew and assumed he would pick up a guitar and play it, which he did just that. Cool!
Everytime I Hear This Version I Cry RIP Glen Campbell!
I love Glenn Campbell's voice. No one--not any one--could sing a song more sweetly and with more feeling than Glenn.
Words cannot express the complete greatness of this legendary musician...and singer!
Richard Harris, Glen Campbell, Donna Summers, all great versions.
Glen's is the best.
Richard Harris...unsurpassed..the greatest !!!
Andy Williams and Sammy Davis Jr.
Richard Harris. Was the best version IMO
@@bobmacdonald6183 I agree
Thumbs Up If You Loved Glen Campbell In The John Wayne Movie True Grit
an incredible song that immortalizes the LOVE of his life

absolutely stupendous performance. His voice, the orchestration, the arrangement---it all combines into a virtuoso rendition.
What a wonderful performance, thank you Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb for giving us a gift for life, and thank you to that fantastic orchestra, it doesn't get better than this. R.i.p. Glen, always miss you.
Glenn Campbell had a great voice. He was a masterful musician and songwriter. He will be remembered.

Glen Cambell, he is the best.

one of the best cross-over artists/performer of this century!
Speechless. The voice, and OMG that guitar talent!
Wow. Just wow. In his day he was SO good.
The best melody Mc Arthur Park ever ! Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.
He gives me chills ,just an amazing performance ,no one like him ,such a talent !
Arthur Fiedler! So long since I have seen a video of him conducting.
Beautiful song, thank you Glen Campbell family. We miss Glen, and really miss those days. I'd love to stay in the late 60s and 70s and be a teenager and young adult.
He had it all... the best
It doesn’t get any better than this!
The ease and beauty of Glen Campbell. So brilliant.
A lot of compliments for Glen and deservedly so but don't forget the composer at the piano...Jimmy Webb.
Yes- Jimmy Webb was pretty much THE genius of the late 60s...Brilliant
I will never forget Glenn Campbell or Jimmy Webb!!
Yes he was!!
one of the best composers of all time!!
Jimmy Webb is the best!!
Trying to say what an incredible musical gift the world has been given in Mr. Glen Campbell.

THEN SHE WOULD HIT ME WITH 5 BUCKS AND I THOUGHT I WAS THE RICHEST FUCK IN THE WORLD !!!! R I P GRANNY GOOD WITCH AND GLEN CAMPBELL!!!!!
I get goosebumps listening to this rendition of the song.
One of the greatest ever 'natural' voices. Sheer God given talent. He deserved everything in terms of success.
glenn nailed it......that has to be the best performance ever for that song
Sparky Nelson agree. And this song is difficult to sing
Norma Tible you’re right.
“A very difficult song to sing “
Glen Campbell's performance of MacArthur Park here is the best one of all! RIP!
Wonderful, weird, bonkers, gorgeous. What a unique piece of music, and I love the hair on Glen ✨💜✨
A truly lovely turn! A hearty round of applause, Mr. Campbell! Remembering you fondly at your best.
He made it all look effortless, and that is Real talent.
Like WOW, those lucky people that night!!!
It's the music. Probably the only challenging number he ever sang, and both his voice and manner changed completely. So great.
an artist from delight arkansas plays with the boston pops, amazing.....f
WELL SAID- TRULY ONE OF THE PHENOMS IN SKILL, LOOKS AND FLYING (GUITAR)

Just, wow! Unlike most vocalists today, no auto tune needed.
I love all the versions of this song by Glenn. I miss him very much.
Glen was one of the main guitarists in the early 60's in the LA group of studio musicians known as the Wrecking Crew. So many hit pop songs from the 60's featured Glen Campbell.

This, to me, is real music. He has, and always will continue to be, my number 1 musician for my whole life. I paint beautiful paintings when I listen to him sing.

RIP Glen Campbell Your Music Will Live On!
yes it will!!
Awesomely fantastic!!!
what an amazing performer!!
just incredible!!
What a combination of talent, never to be assembled again. Absolutely fantastic......
Glen's best performance of MacArthur Park is on TNN's Prime Time Country in 1998. Absolutely mind-blowing! You can find it here on youtube
Looking at the views with likes/dislikes, it leaves me to believe that 6 people left their cakes out in the rain.
LOL!!
Yeah, now it's 13 fools who "left their cakes out in the rain!"
lol
people can have their opinions
Yeah, some may well note the audio quality is low on this video, as is the video quality. Some dislike such things. Perfectly understandable. They could be huge fans of Glen also.
17 People Left There Cake Out In The Rain
what a voice!!! That we will hear no more!!
Best version is the 2002 concert with South Dakota symphony for PBS: at age 66. Incomparable.
WOW Just WOW!
after all the love's of my life; I will miss you the most!!
Probably his best rendition of this classic song.
totally agree with that. Kick ass performance.
what a voice!!!
is abilities were amazing!!!

Just amazing! Glen could do it all!!
so young & so much talent!!!
This is still my favorite of Glen singing MacArthur Park because he hits that high "NO" at the end. Not the slightest bit of pitch up or down. His face is so gaunt, unlike the boyish round face from the decade prior to that, I guess I wonder if he was still doing coke and alcohol. How he survived the 70's is beyond me, but I'm glad he did. Nobody is as talented as he is when it comes to the guitar. Glen was one of the best. I really wish the video could be cleaned up on this.
an amazing performance of a timeless song!!
Golden Oldies Top Sing.
Damn! Love this. I dont think Glen ever got the recognition for the AMAZING guitarist he was. Love my Glen Campbell!
