59 year old drunken wild man from NZ here. Everyone my age, despite musical tastes sees Glen Campbell as a legend. We would sing his songs at primary school in the late sixties and early seventies and when watching this, I appreciate my childhood education. Stay well..
😂 My dad was a Glen Campbell fan in the 60s and 70s, and I liked him, along with my dad’s other albums, Bob Dylan, The Kingston Trio, Ian and Sylvia, Bluegrass. But I didn’t tell my friends. Lol. I eventually got in to everything rock music, Beatles, Beach Boys, The Who, Rush, etc. Now I’m 62, and I appreciate the older stuff more than ever.
My dad was a simple man......a steelworker from Pittsburgh. The only time in my life I ever heard him say: "wow...that's a beautiful song" was when he heard Glen Campbell sing "Wichita Lineman."
Most people think of Glen Campbell as a singer. But he was a wonderful virtuoso on the guitar. Watch how effortless this famously difficult piece is to him, and he was SELF TAUGHT. A truly God-given talent. R.I.P.
my 1st gig i was 8 my mum took me 2 see him at the manchester apollo 1st half i moaned like fuck cos i dint know better ....2nd half he came out n blew me away with his guitars ....my next gig on my own this time was Tiffanys in great yarmouth to see some unknown australian band - 45 p ticket ......oh yeh they were called AC/DC !!! :D
In his day Glen Cambell could walk onto the stage and stand in for anyone as he often did. Don't let the suit fool you he at the drop of a hat could stand in for Deep purple or 3 dog night. Even today few can match him.
Sometime in the Seventies Glen was touring in England and he came to a Local Nightclub in my Home Town and I along with my Husband and Friends we got tickets for his Show and I will never forget the Response from the Audience when he played Dueling Banjo's the Audience went Crazy and he could Entertain all night and genuinely appreciate the Response he Deserved. God Bless his many Friends and Family ❤️ He will never be Forgotten.💞🌹 Angela 💖 xxx
My grandfather William Bernard Lee was also a self taught fiddler and played with blue grass legend Bill Monroe! It’s amazing what those without internet were able to accomplish!
Wow! This was--by FAR--the best rendition of this song I've ever heard! I've played guitar for nearly 50 years (no good on the banjo!), and absolutely agree that Glen was an incredible guitarist (among other talents)! With this disclaimer, it genuinely appeared that Glen was no only equally yoked with Carl, but that Carl appeared to be presenting a literal challenge to Glen. VERY well done, Gentlemen!!!
Glen Campbell is regarded by many to be one of the finest guitarists ever. He was a legend in studio work before he became famous to the public and played with the "wrecking Crew", a collective of LA-based musicians who played on the recordings of dozens of famous musicians. He was a terrific singer, songwriter, and entertainer. I was a teenager when he emerged with top-charting singles in the 60s and even saw him live in concert on August 5, 1969, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum, in Indianapolis. I still remember what a great show it was! Something many don't know is that he filled in for Brian Wilson, touring with the Beach Boys, playing bass and singing the falsetto harmonies, in 1964 and 1965.
@@itomburgess I believe he read chord charts, but not standard notation, which would be important in studio work. He could also hear something one time and play it.
@@artgilbert5182 I used to listen to As I lay Dying, Arch Enemy, Machine Head on occasion, and eventually transferred through to appreciating Glen, Roy, Chet Akins, Gary Moore, David Gilmour off the back of raving about Buckethead, Zakk Wylde, Mick Thompson. So in a way I guess we could say that Metal is a gateway genre.
For many of us, this really shows how fleeting time really is. It was just 'a few years ago' when Glenn was hugely popular on TV and the radio. It's now been just over four years since Glenn passed away at the time I write this. As it's said, we get a brief moment to dance in the sun before sunset comes and before we know it we're old when we were young just last week. One day, we look into the mirror and wonder when it was that we started getting gray and wonder when those first wrinkles appeared that we hadn't noticed until that moment because we get so busy with life, raising kids and working all of the time.
I see it another way, Matthew. This is the WAKEUP CALL to those of us on the other side of 60 (or 50, even) to do it while we still can, before it all creeps up on us, and we can't do it anymore. Arthritis has already started with my husband and me. We have answered that wakeup call and are doing all the things we have wanted to do before it's too late. My husband and I will be at one of the big parks in Orlando and will be FRONT ROW on all of the roller coasters and will be on ALL of the water slides in the water park. We have been big fishing in Costa Rica twice since last year. Yes, Matthew, time is REALLY fleeting and ya gotta live it while you can. My husband and I have 70+ years of critical care experience between us and see this on a daily basis. I was freight trained head on last year when my strong, healthy, happy, beautiful 32 year old daughter suddenly passed from a huge bleed in the brain. I still cry almost every day. I promised her that I would live my BEST life and am doing that, to honor her, and to live for US as well. BTW, I watched Glen Campbell's Goodtime Hour when I was a kid. Never missed it.
These two STARS played in Concert at Apollo Theater Manchester England on 7th April 1977 and my late wife and I had the Pleasure of their company sing and talking to us with full house lights on while on stage. The REASON??? our Wedding Night, and Glen joked with me about being in the audience instead of in bed, the whole Audience gave us a standing ovation it was wonderful, And a week later my wife recieved a letter and lots of records and goodies from Glens staff. Never to be Forgotten
That makes me smile with tears in my eyes. This was fantastic. I will miss Glen. He was a true artist. One of the best if not the best studio guitarist ever. Thanks for TH-cam to be able to see these clips.
Elaine Campbell passed away the same way my wife did I know what the families went through I pray for him thank you thank Campbell for your great music
That's some serious picking! Guitar and banjo playing in harmony to each other, and adding all kinds of runs and extra frills at hyper speed! Just phenomenal talent! 🎸✌️😎
That was one of the coolest things about Glen Campbell .. He loved to showcase young talent and he WANTED them to look good and do well. Both incredible talents.
Still to this day I am blown away by GC's guitar playing, I mean he was playing banjo licks on the guitar! As a young acoustic guitarist in the early 70's, when all my friends had gone electric, I stumbled across a 60's album, THE 12 String Guitar of GLEN CAMPBELL, and was a fan forever. When his career took off I was disappointed his voice and those great Jimmy Webb songs took the light off of his guitar playing, but he always managed to take occasion to make sure everyone remembered he had serious chops on the guitar.
I still miss Glen and his amazing voice and guitar playing after all these years. Loved the fantastic echo from the banjo on this. Brilliant performance by both Glen and Carl 😊💖
I was on my honeymoon when I saw Glen & Carl at the Apollo Stadium in Adelaide. Glen was wearing a white sequined suit. They played this song & of course some others. Both absolutely brilliant! It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to, unforgettable & that's why I remember it to this day, some 46 years later. Glen is one of the best artists of all time. His 2 concerts were completely packed out.
I saw these two perform the Duel live. My memory tells me it was before the Deliverance film came out but I might be wrong. It caused a sensation in the hall, standing ovation.
What I take from this clip , is he was a fantastic musician , and a generous man with a warm sense of humour . Anybody would be proud too be known for any single thing in that list . Yet here he was , on top of the world ,& no sign of any sort of inflated star ego . He was a remarkable man , who any rising star should look too , when they need an example to follow .
Is it just me......does Carl resemble Edward Norton? Totally agrees that he is an amazing talent. Glen Campbell was very popular back then too. I was 10 when this show aired.
Nearly 50 years ago, my dad and I saw Glen Campbell perform a concert to mark the opening of the Hartford (Conn.) Civic Center. His consummate musicianship was evident from first note to last.
I think a lot of people don't realize how good a guitar player Campbell was because his own hit records were not particularly reliant on the guitar. But in the 1950's and 60's he was one of the best session guitarists in the business. He played on a huge number of hit records for the top names.
I saw your comment and just watched Glen play Classical Gas with an orchestra behind him. I don't know if it's the performance you are referring to to but I didn't enjoy it, as I feel it was more about the orchestra, and not enough about glen, tbh.
Yes Glen was a fine player,as evidenced by the fact he was a member of the "Wrecking Crew", a bunch of monster musicians in Los Angeles who played on thousands of recording sessions for all the top artists,from Sinatra down to "famous" young groups who could barely hold their instruments,let alone play them...The latters` secrets were safe with these sessioneers though..lol!

Hats off, amazing talent. Both of them, always knew Glen was a great vocalist, and played the guitar . But never imagined how great he was on the guitar !!!!!
One of the joys of YT is discovery. I grew up in the age of Glen Campbell's successful years. I never really gave him that much credit because he was too pop, too middle of the road. Now, that I'm in my 70's and I get to listen again and realize how great he was. I always knew he was a great picker. I'm finding that I am especially appreciating what a great singer he was when you could hear him live. You might be surprised, I never knew who Carl Jackson was before. He floored me with his playing. I'm going to explore.
I am a heavy metal guy, and let me tell you, this is one of the most difficult things to play (technically) and watching these two do it live............. FREAKING AWESOME! Much respect!
When I was a little kid, my parents knew a bunch of studio musicians. One of them was a bass player by the name of Gene Bond. He told me that this guy named Glen Campbell was the best, most sought after studio musician in the whole world. He said he was the best guitar player he ever heard.
So I got into a surf down the Bluegrass music rabbit hole on YT, and come across Glen Campbell playing Dueling Banjos with some banjo player. They're having fun with it, then Carl does a run at maximum shred that would humble Yngwie Malmsteen. Wow. Such clean playing at plaid speed, and with smiles on their faces.
The Glen Campbell-shows were huge here in Scandinavia, and I could'nt wait for Carl Jackson to do a solo-spot or something like this with Glen. And this is absolutely great. I think, Carl was in his late teens here, possibly 19-20. And he is still a speedy player.
What I find amazing is the kid playing is really using his ears big time as well as awesome playing - very relaxed. Glen - exceptional musician in every way he could hold his own plus with any guitarist. Cheers for the vid
This is so much superior than any other versions I’ve ever heard. For Glen Travis it’s like a relaxing walk in the park. He is so relaxed and natural and hardly even trying. To me he is the greatest guitarist ever.
THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glenn Campbell was such an amazing guitar player and this young man? Carl Jackson? Wow. Very skillful! Mind blown. They make those instruments FLY.
Glenn Campbell was highly regarded as one of the best guitar players by many great guitar players of his time. He was respected by rock, country and bluegrass pickers alike... what a talent. and the banjo player not bad either

Greetings from the hills of Tennessee USA.
Glen Campbell RIP…. X
Kiwis have good taste.
Thank you for your comment sir, I also grew up with Glens music at primary school in Christchurch, New Zealand
Sweden remembers!
Glen Campbell was pure class - what a gentleman, what a guitar player.
WAS A REAL MUSICIAN
best ever, and second place is miles away
A banjo makes a room sound like it's FULL of music.
It fills the soul.
It's intentional. The modern banjo was adjusted to fill out opera halls back in the day.
And dude said “think you can keep up”
“Yes, and not look while I do it, and double your notes”…
hmmm
It's now 2023. I ask can anyone do it better? Thans Carl, RIP Glen.❤
Billy Redden..original player
Movie (Diiverance)
This was awesome.. they had fun. ANYONE keeping up with Glenn Campbell deserves respect👍
Carl Jackson, even Covered Glen's-Mistake early on, LoL~~~
Only one could keep up with Glen. That would be Roy.🎸🎸
Being a teenager in the 70's it wasn't "cool" to listen to Glen Campbell. Now that I'm in my 70's, it is definitely "cool" to listen to Glen Campbell!
Ha same here. But got a bit of romance with Nicola after I played her ‘by the time I get to Phoenix” RIP Glen
I was 19 in 1970 and he was COOL THEN AND NOW
Rubbish, I was a teenager in the 70s and I was a massive fan, and I was cool.
😂 My dad was a Glen Campbell fan in the 60s and 70s, and I liked him, along with my dad’s other albums, Bob Dylan, The Kingston Trio, Ian and Sylvia, Bluegrass. But I didn’t tell my friends. Lol.
I eventually got in to everything rock music, Beatles, Beach Boys, The Who, Rush, etc.
Now I’m 62, and I appreciate the older stuff more than ever.
His lack of coolness wasn’t about his guitar, it was about his not taking a position opposing the war in Vietnam.
My dad was a simple man......a steelworker from Pittsburgh. The only time in my life I ever heard him say: "wow...that's a beautiful song" was
when he heard Glen Campbell sing "Wichita Lineman."

That's not true, Glen Campbell is constantly cited as one of the all time great guitarists in addition to being known as a singer.
@@LinkRocks whats not true.
Amongst guitarists he's pretty legendary.
A lot of his fans weren't country artists either.
Like Van Halen, Alice Cooper and Prince.
Jackson put on an absolute clinic on that Banjo, amazing talent.

Glen Campbell was a national treasure. Couldn't even read music, but became one of the hottest studio musicians in the world. Rest in peace.
My grandfather William Bernard Lee was also a self taught fiddler and played with blue grass legend Bill Monroe! It’s amazing what those without internet were able to accomplish!
So much talent. Puts a smile on my face every time.
Recorded in 1973 and still as brilliant today
True. Something like this is timeless.
Wow! This was--by FAR--the best rendition of this song I've ever heard! I've played guitar for nearly 50 years (no good on the banjo!), and absolutely agree that Glen was an incredible guitarist (among other talents)!

VERY well done, Gentlemen!!!
CARL WAS REALLY GOOD;BUT GLEN SANDBAGGING…..BEST EVER!1!
When I was 9 years old in 1973 Glen played in NZ and I was there never forget it amazing love him

As a huge Beach Boys fan as well as The Wrecking Crew and Glen you surely have your history right. Honorable mention to Hal Blaine of course.
yep he was almost as good as Roy Clark
@@itomburgess I believe he read chord charts, but not standard notation, which would be important in studio work. He could also hear something one time and play it.
@@GenX...MCMLXV Exactly, Roy was a guitar God
My favorite part of this is that they started smiling midway through, that’s how you know you’ve really hit the groove and are having fun with it
Its also what happened in the movie
Yes This Was Great He's Soo Young Guy On Banjo 💕🙏🏼
I swear GC tried to out do him for speed .....what accuracy to my ears...
Any musician is doing that, that why they are musicians
Or possibly "Whew, we got through the hard bit with no major disasters." :)
You can appreciate the worth of Glen Campbell and his incredible wife by the way raised their incredible children
A fantastic guitarist and a stellar vocalist. A huge talent and a sad loss. And I say this as a die-hard heavy metal fan.
Ditto
True metal-heads recognize great guitar playing no matter the genre. 100% agree.

@@CarefulWithThatAxeEugene good is good.
That just means you know talent when you see it sir. And I am 100% with you.
You can just see the pure joy on their faces--Glen was one of a kind. This kind of music should last forever.

The best version of Duelling Banjos I've ever heard. Carl Jackson is a genius. Glen Campbell was already a genius long before this.
check out ashley campbell with Carl playing gentle on my mind
Carl is a banjo genius. He taught glens daughter how to play.

Once in a lifetime, congratulations because happened.
What a fantastic thing to have happened.
The amazing thing about this is that Glen Campbell was one of the greatest guitarist ever. Ever! He was sublime. And very generous. What a gentleman!
Two true geniuses that met on stage to give us music heaven.
Hey 👋
@@drakehonest2ciao amico!🙋😊😍😘💘🌅
This is the most wholesome thing on the entire internet. Thank you.
Not according to ned beatty 😂
😂😂😂😂
You just don't want it to end! Aren't you glad this incredible little moment in time was captured?
Just learned recently what an amazing guitar player Mr Campbell was...
Much respect Glenn R.I.P
Oh oh my God is this really young Carl Jackson I've never seen him this young I am so thrilled and so honored to hear this and see this thank you
Glen was a good friend of Alice Cooper which makes him awesome in my book .
You think you can stay with me kid ? Bless that man. He was a lovely guy.
Makes me cry just to hear Glen play and realize I truly don't believe there will ever be this high a quality, well played music anymore.
Believe it or not there is, look this up! Dueling Banjos - Sleepy Man Banjo Boys - Revenge of the Guitar
That makes me smile with tears in my eyes. This was fantastic. I will miss Glen. He was a true artist. One of the best if not the best studio guitarist ever. Thanks for TH-cam to be able to see these clips.
Elaine Campbell passed away the same way my wife did I know what the families went through I pray for him thank you thank Campbell for your great music
That's some serious picking! Guitar and banjo playing in harmony to each other, and adding all kinds of runs and extra frills at hyper speed! Just phenomenal talent! 🎸✌️😎
That, my friends, is how it's done -- two absolute legends
Carl taught glens daughter how to play banjo
Absolutely great,,,,both

Better than the original
Glen is so good.... His speed is somewhat related to his coke use... Skill+dedication+coke= Crazy outcomes! Great sound, GC! Such an icon...
Total BS, this is 1973, Glen was not doing coke here. Get your facts straight.
Totally cool! Two truly gifted musicians! I'm blown away. Love and peace.
I think that's the fastest I've ever heard Dueling Banjoes played. Holy hell! Mighty fine pickin'!
Thanks so much, Aaron! I will let Carl know...
I saw these two perform the Duel live. My memory tells me it was before the Deliverance film came out but I might be wrong. It caused a sensation in the hall, standing ovation.

I play both guitar and five string banjo, but for some mysterious reason it doesn't sound like this. Hmmm ...

I’ve watched about 10 iterations of this tune over the last 2 days and this one stands apart from the rest. That was awesome
WOW! That CARL JACKSON! Some of the cleanest banjo pickin' I ever witnessed..
it really is an incredible song and i remember my dad showing me the scene on tv. it just really shows off what banjo is great at.
People tend to forget how talented Glen Campbell was.. So good...
Better than that. The best ever.
For a musician to play with Glen Campbell must be an awesome experience-- Glen was so talented.
Carl Jackson was only 20 at the time. Amazing talent.
Is it just me......does Carl resemble Edward Norton? Totally agrees that he is an amazing talent. Glen Campbell was very popular back then too. I was 10 when this show aired.
20 ? Wow, one of my heroes, was thrilled when his LP came out.
Thanks for posting !!
Actually, he was 19 here, April 1973, he turned 20 later in the year.
Carl is still around playing great as ever; but he's bald headed as an onion...😂😊
Actually he was just eighteen. Glen said so during the show. " Not bad for an eighteen year old, eh?
How can you NOT be a fan of that musicianship? Pure joy in 10 strings.
Icon on my desktop. When I need a 3:24 of pure enjoyment, I double click on it. And dueling Banjoes comes alive once again.
No matter how many times I watch this it's outstanding.
Absolutely fantastic. R I P Glen. Both total geniuses. I wish talent like theirs could live forever 😢👍
It lives on in clips such as this.🪕🎶

Glenn had so much respect for such a young guy you could see it in his face. That tells you everything about what sort of person he was.

The Glen Campbell-shows were huge here in Scandinavia, and I could'nt wait for Carl Jackson to do a solo-spot or something like this with Glen. And this is absolutely great. I think, Carl was in his late teens here, possibly 19-20. And he is still a speedy player.
Thank you, Rune, for your compliment on Carl...I will certainly let him know...and, you are correct...Carl was 19...
I love this. I've seen so many bands do Duelling Banjos over the years but this one is a corker. Thank you.
Mr. Campbell was able to show us what real talent is.He is sincerely missed.
That was flat out amazing❗two truly great picker talents. 🎯💎🎯
Still puts a smile on my face.....EVERY TIME I LISTEN. Thank you for posting
Holy crap that was fantastic!...... Glen Campbell is a legend. Rip old mate 👍
I saw this in '73, it was awesome then, and still is!!!
First heard Duelling Banjos when I saw the movie "deliverance".and loved it ever since.Great movie and Glen Campbell was/is the greatest
Two masters of their craft. I've always loved the guitar, but until this video, I didn't realize how much I loved the banjo...
That outro lick 😮 Glen Campbell had talent for miles and such a humble guy
What talent. Glen is seriously missed, but at least he lives on thru his music! Great video.

He lived long.
In his work he came to prosper.
And then he left treasures for us all to long enjoy.
Man, Glen Campbell could really play guitar! Great work by him and Carl Jackson on the banjo.
What I find amazing is the kid playing is really using his ears big time as well as awesome playing - very relaxed.
Glen - exceptional musician in every way he could hold his own plus with any guitarist. Cheers for the vid
And Carl Jackson continues to use those ears...LOL!
In addition, Carl wrote or co-wrote a lot of very popular country songs that have been recorded by other artists. The list would truly surprise you.
This is so much superior than any other versions I’ve ever heard. For Glen Travis it’s like a relaxing walk in the park. He is so relaxed and natural and hardly even trying. To me he is the greatest guitarist ever.
Glen Travis? Really?
Glen was the G.O.A.T. not many realized the depth of his talent. A virtuoso
then there was Roy Clark
THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glenn Campbell was such an amazing guitar player and this young man? Carl Jackson? Wow. Very skillful! Mind blown. They make those instruments FLY.
R.I.P Glen Campbell! You will be missed!
Brings out the tears just listening to this.
What a talented man!
I really like to hear him playing guitar.
In Italy he is not very well known, it's incredible, he has sold millions of records!
Forgive me if I already commented, other than Roy Clark, Mr. Campbell is the man
Not many people know how good a guitar player Glen was
I do now
@@thesuncollective1475 no one better
I just can't seem to wipe the smile off my face.
Thanks for posting.
Brilliant just brilliant.
What virus!!!!!
Sweet sweet Banjo and guitar.🤗😆😆😆
Good Gawd!! I'm saddened it took me 7 yrs to find this, but better late than never. Wow!!
No
Yes
Jeez, no where to hide on that number. Top class both of them.
Glenn Campbell was highly regarded as one of the best guitar players by many great guitar players of his time. He was respected by rock, country and bluegrass pickers alike... what a talent. and the banjo player not bad either
Absolutely fantastic. Glen Campbell left us far too soon.
This ripped a hole in the fabric of space time that exists to this day.
