Glen Campbell & Steve Wariner Perform "Galveston" 

Amen ! Good song for the soldiers ***

My husband was out in 4 Corps going across the fence the same timeframe as you George. We loved this song also. God bless you.

Thank you for your service sir. Welcome home, It is a shame how you kids were treated

Sir, with the upmost respect, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND WELCOME HOME!!!

He didn't just play on the Beach Boys' albums, he replaced Brian Wilson on tour - playing bass, and singing the high notes. Talk about talent!

9jn

DO YOU MEAN TREAT?

@@jimmymalone9139 threat .

He always said that he made John Wayne look so good, Wayne won an Oscar.

I'm sorry for loss. 😔

It just shows u. Heaven baby. He was lky

Pay no attention, they are just ignorant souls!😢

The thumbs down brigade are fu*king morons...disregard them my friend ....

Idiot know nothings.

And Jimmy Wenb gave him some superb songs 🎵 🎶

Same for me...never grow tired of hearing this...Glen was truly one very talented musician and his work with Jimmy Webb was extraordinary!

He had it all and used it wisely.

I’m not far behind

The best

a kid in a candy store . . .

Steve Wariner found out Who's the Boss. 😂

GLEN ALWAYS HIRED THE BEST TO PLAY WITH THE BEST…MR. GLEN CAMPBELL……

What a complementary duo. Just beautiful.

If he was up there while i plucked strings his face would look the absolute opposite. An excellent example of good ear for music right there. hahaha

The country is better now for millions of people.

@@semifast2 Only in a very superficial sense.

Lucky you! - to have spent such a special unforgettable night with a down to earth legend just relaxing and having fun. A brilliant talent in such a humble guy. Funny how time slips away... RIP Glen. We all miss you so very much.

Jim Southern you are a very lucky man to have this experience. Glen and his band were supreme. I know you were just thrilled. Thanks for sharing your precious memory.

Thank you, sir for your service! We owe you everything.

Thank you for everything Robert. I really appreciate your service. Sincerely, an old Marine.

Thank you sir. What you boys did over there matters more than you will ever know

Just don't forget the rest who didn't give a fuck for your lies.

Yes, it did. That period of time people still respected America and America's values Robert. I was 17 years old back then. The pride i had for my fellow soldiers was a lot.

the purest voice ever............

Incredible arrangement 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Amen, he was a beautiful soul , loaded with talent.

Beautifully said.

Glen was proof that before auto-tune, there was talent!

Thank you for your service! My whole family and my ex-husband's family are all military veterans. Did you know that was what "Galveston" was all about? Jimmy Webb was walking along the beach in Galveston and wrote the son about a soldier from the Spanish American war who was missing his girlfriend and hoping to get back.

Glade to have you home! I was 11 yrs old in 69. Crazy times back then but music took me to a different place in my little world. My Dad went to Vietnam TDY 63, I remember he was gone and came home to Clark AFB. Thank you for your service.

Your words paint a powerful emotional image. God bless you and all the brave men alongside you...you truly are the best among us...thank you.

Thank you for your service. This song is so beautiful...

thanks for your service Sir.

Two legends picking and jamming together!! The best moment of the night!!

Is great as he is you'll never hear him over play something ! Always artistic, and precise, never over done ,allways respectfully of the talent around him ! RIP MR CAMBELL !

@@actsd2682 it really was. In retrospect, I remember watching it live, was excited for it, but I didn't truly grasp how good of a performance it was. It wasn't just good as a TV countdown show performance, it wasn't just a everyone clap because you have to performance, in stands a a beautiful performance by two literal masters of the craft that built the stage and paved the way for the channel that hosted that show.

He smiles and shakes his head because he is awed by Glen's talent

Thank you for your service Jim. I was born in September 1968 while my dad was in the Air Force. I became a Marine in 1990. I deeply respect and admire those of you who served in Vietnam. Thank you buddy.

Jim, Thanks so much for your service. Your comment made me think of my dad, who also fought in Vietnam. For that, I am very grateful.

So Sad and So True

Country still tells a story. I’m not a fan of today’s stuff (rock music was perfected back in 1974, yet they keep trying to revisit it) but it still tells a story.

Okay, I play and sing for seniors. Most of what I do, I love myself. But Galveston is one that is often requested. So I added it to my list. I sing a lot of classic country, because it’s loved by many, even younger crowds. But my wife always reminds me to change it up depending on the age of the crowd. I say the best I can do is 90’s country. I have no desire to do anything new. But I read comments from people all the time that helps me pick songs to do. I see millions of views on these classics. I tell my wife, but she doesn’t listen. Guess what, I’m leaving for an hour show in 15 minutes. And Galveston will be sung this afternoon.

I don’t think there is anyone alive today with half that much talent.

My son liked GC music before I did...was 1974

I’m exactly the same way, I know every single note in that solo and I still can’t listen to it enough. It’s perfect

Glen's regarded by many as the cleanest picker of all time.

imagine if his guitar was in tune

I saw Jerry many times and I miss him every day. I love this video and I have been sitting here playing it over and over. Incredible and sad at the same time. Thank you Glen, we really need you right now.

For me, Wichita Lineman is at the top of the list. Honestly I had forgotten about "By the time...Phoenix" which brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. Hard to watch Glen's illness take hold in those last few years ... he was brave to keep on performing as long as he did. Alzheimers is a tough, tough row to hoe.

Dan Nájera I agree completely, and Glen Campbell was the perfect singer for this and all those songs. I can’t remember anyone better

@@douglaswise5670 I had the pleasure of playing golf with Glen years and years ago and as Vincent Furnier, known as stage name Alice cooper once said, Glen in in the top 5 guitarist, and he would know

afc45 churchwell you played golf with Glen? How was that like? He seemed like a funny, personable fellow. I’ve become a huge fan of him and Jimmy Webb

Dan Nájera he loved telling jokes. He really could play golf had a great short game and also friendly and had a fondness for people. Great personality

@是邪恶的习近平 Glen and Alice.Cooper were neighbours and best friends. Alice said that Eddie Van Halen asked to meet Glen and pick up some pointers on the guitar. Thats the kind of Respect Glen had in the Rock world. Google Alice Cooper/ Glen Campbell and watch the Utube video of Coopers interview the day Glen Passed.

Steve is a remarkable entertainer as well. You can hear the heavy Glen Campbell influence in both his guitar and voice. "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" is a living testimony to their similarities.

Steve is a good old Indiana boy

Yep. and you can see in their faces just how much they are enjoying every second of this AWESOME song and guitar riff !

This is such an underrated comment. Exactly my thoughts.

James Smithe He was only underrated to those who weren’t paying attention.

Truly a great guitarist. Saw him in Galveston before he stopped playing. He opened with Galveston. Brought tears to my eyes.next day I saw Ashley and Shannon in a small bar and shared a drink with them

@@auroraduo7210 not

Chet, Roy, Jerry, Glen.

And it wasn't even his best solo.

Growin up in Iraq two big stars, Clint Eastwood and Glen Cambell. 1970's.

I actually think Steve Warner was the most underrated guitarist and singer of the 20th century

Glen was the best. Be glad he introduced you to his music, singing, acting, and about the best guitar picker I ever heard

You're dad loved you more than u can imagine. Xo. We love u junie

I think Steve got a Master Class from Glen, what a superb performance!

Id add By the time I get to Phoenix as the Jim Webb triple hit.

Oh yes! That one too. So expressive.

Gentle on my mind does it for me

@@lancelot6011 Yes, that one too. So many great songs.

Maybe that's how things are supposed to be!

Merle H., always used the minimum number of words to say the exact right thing!

And coming from Merle Haggard himself!

You could say that about 2 of the greatest musicians ever to grace this planet, Glen and Roy Clark. Glen was well known to every band in the 60's as a great studio musician so many on the insiders in music knew he was in a class on his own.

@@imelvino yep, Glenn played on many different albums for people like Elvis to the Beach Boys. Another guy who could absolutely shred the guitar was Jerry Reed. These guys are my top 3.

Glen had massive respect from fellow musicians, fans and celebrities, yet he was a down to Earth guy and never aloof. Rest in Peace, Glen.

You’re wrong Vince Gill would tear that up!

@@billgillet2296 Nope.

​@Bill gillet , ..... Ask Vince Gill what he thinks of Glen and you'll have your answer. Vince is AH- mazing, but he would be the first to take his hat off to Glen Campbell.

The same guy who says "I hate country" actually HAS at least one he DOES like, then says "that's different", that is how it starts. An exception, then two exception, next thing you know he is at "well, I do like SOME country" music and by the end he is a full blown country fan. I've seen that happen too much--it happened to me.

EXACTLY!

New pop country radio on the radio is trash tho

@@jimquantic The guitar is to be appreciated, across all genres of music ... it is a chameleon instrument in the hands of great players with unique ideas ...

Fun story: I used to say hated country music when I was in high school and college. I saw the performance in this video live on TV when it aired in 2002-Glen's performance here made my jaw drop and I've been a country fan since.

jarjon76 Hell damn yeah!

Amen!

You can say that again! Loved it!❤👍

I know that was just uber cool 👍💯

I went to Galveston today. As I drove over the causeway and saw the pelicans and gulls soaring out over the bay, I couldn't keep from breaking into song. I missed a few lyrics and went pitchy a couple of times, but my heart filled with joy just remembering all the various recordings and performances left behind for us by this beautiful, amazingly talented man. I miss him almost as if I knew him. I would like to see the city commemorate the anniversary of his passing (August 8) by playing "Galveston" on the ferries and all over town. I'd drive down for that.

Jimmy Webb should get credit too. He did write it.

Glenn IS a Christian believer and with his Savior in Heaven ... He is indeed, resting in peace and I will seem him when the Lord comes and collects His children from the four corners of this earth.

As an Aussie down under, one ambition I had as a teen was to walk along Galveston Beach. I was determined to get there - because of the song. Thank God I was later able to do it. This song will live forever. I envy your walk along the beach. I certainly enjoyed mine.

@@bradman1100 - That's a great story! I'm so glad you got to come to Galveston! It's only 75 miles from my house in Port Arthur, so I grew up on those beaches as a teenager. I STILL love it, and the song always reminds me that I need to take a little drive and go eat at Gaido's!

​@@gregnormal55.Ciao amico! 🙋‍♀️😍😘💘🍀

Glen was one of many artists I grew up listening to in the 70's. I always found myself coming back to his music from time to time after wandering off for a while in lifes many directions. When I was 20 something, I had a chance to see Glen in concert locally, but didn't go. Still kind of kicking myself for that.

Amen to that. Miss the guy!

@@SPCLPONY Wish I had had the opportunity

Forgot Actor, True Grit.

Watch Vince Gill Oklahoma borderline

​@@billgillet2296 Sorry, but that guy's just two-bit honky tonk in comparison.

@Martin Camp that is an ignorant statement. Glenn was amazing but Vince is no slouch and his singing is stellar. Let's hear you sing one. 🎶

Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe

It was my privilege.

Larry Jeffers, thank you for serving our great country..

Larry Jeffers Thank You very much for your service.

Sir, I am an Aussie. I salute your service.

Thank you for your service, sir.

He was an absolutely magnificent guitarist, singer and all round musician. I don't know how anyone could be that good, makes my hair stand on end. Loved the guy !

Hello!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe

Ivk

I have to disagree. This is WAY better than the original recording.

What was his SECOND song in the TOP 100?

Well said!

@@Tonetwisters Prolly 'By The Time...'

@@Tonetwisters Rhinestone Cowboy

I heard Glen say in an interview one time it wasnt uncommon for people to cry when they met him.I sometimes wonder if he really knew how much the common folk listeners loved him.?He was a common man himself starting out.What an exciting life he had.Complete with ups and downs like all the rest of us.God bless him.Awesome artist!

While it certainly is, I wouldn't particularly consider myself a big country fan, but this is simply transcendent. It truly is a timeless classic, performed by one of the all time greats. I watch this every time I happen across it, and it gives me chills every time. Thank you Glen for your artistry!

No, good singer, brilliant musican. SOOO sad that he's so ill...

Glen Titans were gifted to us for their talents and the goodness that they could bring to our lives but they were never meant to be immortal.

As long as we remember him, and we have his music, he IS immortal.

my cousin was a top pro pedal steel guy who knew and recorded with Glenn in Nashville. I asked him what Glenn was like. He said 'Just like you and me. That country boy TV stuff was for show. Glenn was a solid guy with remarkable talent'

Boy, Ain;t THAT the Truth! Mother watched Dad leave Galveston in military ship bound for German during the reconstruction era so this powerful song reminds me of how grateful & blessed our family is that he came home in one piece and brings tears to my eyes ever time I hear it.

Paul Hogue I grew up on the Oklahoma and Arkansas line, near Ft. Smith, and lucky me, my parents were huge Glen Campbell fans (we might even be distant cousins, many Campbell brides on my dad's side of the family, also from Arkansas). Okies give Arkies a hard time, lol, but Glen is certainly a son of which you can be proud. He's a national treasure, I'm thankful for all the gifts he gave us.

Glen Campbell is "other worldly" on the guitar. He is who the worlds greatest guitarist dreams of being.

I've seen so many videos where Glen is with other guitar players, and they all have that same reaction. They just smile and shake their heads.

Paul Hogue well said. He raised the roof. A one off, untouchable. Fair one to Steve he stood back and admired like we do. Class.

paaa.... you nailed it. Glenn was one of a kind.

Hello!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe

That's right! If Merle says you're one of the greats you're one of the great. End of discussion. lol

Ah man I miss the fact that we can't hear any new things from glenn. What a timeless singer and guitar player......

His name was GLEN Campbell.

agree!!

Yes

Ur so corrrrret❤

And here in 2020

Wow. - your response tugs my heart strings - thank you for sharing. Though I was very young during the Vietnam War I was sadly touched very. personally by a casualty. My favorite first cousin who was more like a big brother to me and all of our cousins was killed by friendly fire by a young 18 year old soldier who had just arrived to his barracks - he was cleaning out his bayonet and it discharged and shot Ronnie killing him instantly he was on the lower bunk Ronnie was on the upper bunk from what I remember about the sad details but it was devastating to say the least to everyone particularly the young soldier who was just a kid and it was just an accident. Ronnie was a leader a paratrooper/Green Beret on his fourth tour of duty- his wife was 8 months pregnant with their first child. My father was Ronnie’s favorite uncle - much like a second father to him. Text chain letters almost weekly or as often as they could my dad actually got him a job at the consumer electronics company where he was a manager but he was treated so horribly that he went back as well as I guess or I’m sure wanting to do more for his country. My father received what was the last letter two days after we received the news by and knock on the door of our home that Ronnie was dead. The letter stated that he had just narrowly escaped several land mines - two of his but he didn’t make it he was devastated but he also was always positive about why he was there. I’ll never forget the knock on the door they came to our house because Ronnie and his young life stayed with us before he left because their house was not completed and we had plenty of room in ours so they had our address and his home address. It’s the first time I remember hearing my mother who is in her early 30s scream and cry Ronnie was her oldest brothers only son. Our entire family adored him. I was 6 years old. I cannot listen to this song without tears.

Gone to Heaven, my friend. He's still alive!

Hear, here

I love his voice❤❤❤

Glen Campbell

They never even introduced Steve Wariner as a relevant star in this moment, but I know much better. I could have cried at how good this felt. Can't believe how good this was.

Back in the 70 s.My Dad was in a band.He plays just like Chet Atkins. The band played Glen Campbell songs.I call my Dad my Glen Campbell. I wish I could relive those days.Glen was a amazing Star👍

@@ldolphin34 no but Glen introduced him, Glen always acknowledged other artist and showed them respect 😊

me too--my mom had it

For my Old Man it was the Mills Brothers and the Ink Spots...

:( so sad.

Beautifully said.. have you heard "I still can't say goodbye" by Chet Atkins..

@@jonjeffries3265 o cmon

Hello! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe

Yes it did. On my first business Trip to Houston I made sure to see The Galveston I had heard about for so many years in this classic song that combined superior writing , guitar playing and singing talent. Nice town . Greetings from NJ, where we are naturally big fans of our State Stars like Frank Sinatra and Bruce Springsteen but also of one of The Greats , Glen Campbell may he RIP.

I love glen campbell his songs are so strong and meaningful he’s one of the best

Jimmy Webb should get some credit. He wrote the song.

@@Danimal1577 Absolutely Jimmy Webb is a genius. Thankfully still living, Mr. Webb will garner countless accolades upon his passing as well.

Thanks for liking my music and all the support, I hope you never stop listening to my music. That sounds great. How long have you be a fan of my music? That's really inspiring, you sound like a good fan of mine and anytime I have a show close to your zone, I will not fail to reach out to you and you will get a free ticket from me, we would also get the opportunity to meet in person, sit, talk and have a couple of drinks before my show begins, how does that sound? Will like to honor you by giving you my number so we can get to talk more my number is 2677020216.,

I really think there’s a stage between the late 60s and early 70s where he really was the greatest singer in the world. As for his guitar playing, well here he is in old age absolutely shredding it

@@jackgillett2739 i totally agree. one of the best singers AND guitar players of all time.

Jamie Reno there’s a couple of videos in particular for me. One with David gates and one with Stevie wonder. His talent eclipses theirs by hitting some of the best notes I’ve heard

And this is the guy who played bass and sang backup vocals for the Beach Boys when Brian Wilson couldn't tour.

Yes! Also the guy who did a cover of Stevie Wonder’s For Once In My Life. And then if that wasn’t enough covered a song by the Foo Fighters! Was there any end to this mans talent?

Likewise, my first musical crush @ 6 years old in 1969. So jaw droppingly handsome. Additionally this song ,now more than then , breaks my heart. My favorite first cousin who was just 22 -years old who was like a big brother to me was on his fourth tour of duty in Vietnam was killed in June of 1969. He had been staying at my parents house prior to deployment as he was super close to my mom and dad and he and his wife were remodeling their little house. . His wife was pregnant with their first child. -even though I was young I’ll never forget that knock on our door the day they told us he was dead it devastated and changed my family’s life that’s for sure- as it did for so many of the families who lost young men and women who were just kids serving in that war. He never got to see /meet his daughter but three days after his death my father received a letter from him as they corresponded throughout this time there - and his wife received a beautiful package of silk material for her to make a dress for the baby should it be a little girl or something for herself- along with a love letter, of course to her and their unborn child. I can’t listen to the song without tears. But my goodness what a handsome man and beyond adequate words talented guitarist and musician/ entertainer. Rest In Peace, Mr. Campbell and my sweet cousin, Ronnie.
