Jerry Reed & Glen Campbell performing one of my favorites - the "Guitar Man" Enjoy Remember i don't have the rights, just sorry i couldn't find it anywhere :)
You only say that because he never stole your wife, mom, or daughter. You were one of the lucky ones. Some of us have had several wives stolen by Jerry. Dang thing is he's so smooth we just keep him around anyhow. Watch your back is all.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 man he would. I've known a few people just like him and we need a few more. A big big man with an extra smile for you if you need one.
Honestly, they may just be the greatest to ever pick a guitar. Name anyone who can play like that, on that level? They are insanely underrated and insanely great.
It's not like people don't still play like this, they do! the market expanded, not there are other tools. Nobody complained when les Paul multi tracked live... yu live in the past, and seem to not know where to look for Music anymore. Turn off your car radio, and Spotify, and do some work. We musicians still do and laugh at your kind of complaining ignorance of what is. You are both just whining.
The year was 1973 and I was a long haired, pot smoking, die hard Rock n Roll fan. None of my friends could understand why I would "waste my money" on a pair of Jerry Reed tickets. I just smiled knowingly, ended up going alone and had a blast. Music is like the worlds greatest buffet. Don't be the guy who just eats the shrimp.
it's refreshing to see this kinda attitude instead of the usual "MUSIC THESE DAYS JUST DON'T COMPARE" blah blah nonsense you see in the comments on music from previous decades. I'm only 30 and I love this stuff and Jerry Reed, but I listen to more genres than I can keep track of, from so many points in time. Music now is often just as good as music then, too. There's just far more of it so you often have to dig for what you'll like.
two amazing guitarists right there. pay close attention to those last few seconds where they're doing two lead breaks but Glen is doing high notes and Jerry is doing low notes and it all matches together every note, totally insane. awesome video thanks for sharing!
Jerry lays down his guitar for his own song and lets Glen Campbell play with a humble dude and Glen Campbell has an amazing voice this video is just mind-boggling
These are likely the two finest guitar players to ever live. To see them doing a Jerry Reed tune together makes this one of the most important and special moments in the history of the movement of air.
This is awesome. Back when entertainment was pure and the whole Family could sit down and watch it. I dig these 2 Cats. Definitely missed. Rest in peace.
From session players to super stars. A couple of talented country boys. What an impact they made on music. The world would be a much duller place without them.
Also a good actor and dancer. He was part of a '50's - 8 min song dance set Glenn Campbell Show where Jerry Glen Little Richard Dom DeLuise and David Cassidy jived with partners. Man can Jerry dance!!
Well, it's a different world with a different music but now we have RU-vid and can dial up virtually any song that has ever been recorded or video'd, so enjoy!
How we got so lucky as to have both of these musical geniuses on this planet with us at the same time is beyond me. I can never stop listening to these two. Pure talent!
Put Roy Clark in there. I'm over 50 and was not paying attention to their fingers during there time. I was too young to understand. They were smiling entertainers telling stories and jokes while playing. RU-vid has been my blessing to see how great these players were.
was watching Smokey and the Bandit and started to wonder what Jerry Reed's music was like... DAMN i've been missing out this whole time. This man can pick with the best of 'em
Jerry Reed was a prefomer at the highest level..he could play lights out ..he was funny ..and he could make a audiences just set and stare or have the time of their lives...truely was a Golden entertainer
As a Cab driver I had the Honor of picking this man up at his traveling bus in back of a night club. He was drunk as hell but his personality was the same as sober. Great. Face him a 70 mile ride and will say enjoyed every mile of his company
You can't teach what they do. Campbell one of the greatest guitarist of all time. And oh so versatile. And no one, I mean no One Son..can sing like Jerry Reed. He had an incredible way of talking at 90 mph through a song. A great video. Thanks.
This right here.....is absolutely timeless.....you break this out in just about any crowd.....and people going to get into it.....awesome skills from two of the best of friends.....
I look back at my life and recall the music from the 1960's up until now and I realize how lucky I am to have experienced it all. The best thing about it is going back to all the songs and play them over and over .Thank you to everyone from the artist's to the Person that uploaded the music.
I'm even older. My high school days were the mid-fifties when a crossroad of several music genres all crossed in about 1955. Country crossover with Lefty Frizzel, Big Bopper, Ferlin Husky and many others. WW11 stuff was still around like the big bands, andrew sisters, mcqjuire sisters, and out of rythym & blues, howled Elvis, the king. Oh, I forgot to mention the original rock & roll band. Bill Haley and the Comets. Those were the days, my friends. Although the 70's brought a new revival of folk and rock that was probably just as good.
Love to listen to both of these guys but Glen Campbell was an influence to me as a youngster and love his music and his style was awesome. Thank you Mr. Campbell for all you did for crossing over country and pop music. You are a legend Sir.
I still remember the radio announcement that Jerry Reed was gone. Still get a little misty eyed whenever I hear any of his work on the classic country channels.
Was lucky enough to catch one of Glen's shows on his Farewell Tour in Nashville a few weeks ago, and while he did forget a couple of song lines during the show--what 75 year-old wouldn't--his guitar playing skills haven't eroded one bit and his voice is still superb. Definitely catch a show if you can
ah, back when entertainers actually could play the hell out of an instrument. Reed was a monster really. But Chet had the chops too and a little more grounded technique. Glenn, Roy Clark... so many good players.
It's amazing how many people didn't know how good these two were. In the early 70's I had an album by Chet and Jerry. I still remember the album cover, an old car, and Jerry is changing a flat tire and Chet is sitting on a fender playin guitar. Good stuff.
Danny Cunningham The guy playing, Jerry Reed, who first recorded it back in the 60s. And as for today's musicians having even a fraction of the talent in this video, name one?
Brian Baker, A punk George Harrison, never over does the solo like George in the beatles. Or technically and super fast soloing-Dragonforces guitarists, ey voila
Stfu granda. That's a stupid comment by someone who is out of touch with what's happened with music since 'back in the day', and I don't mean listing to top 40 radio shit. You sound just like the old folks said about music from their time compared to the time this video was made.
Something I love more than music is when it's so obvious that the musicians are absolutely LOVING what they do and you can tell they're having a great time :)
These two had a connection like no other! Both had mutual respect and tons of talent. Little known but Jerry suggested the cool guitar breakdown between verses of "Southern Nights" - one of Glen's bigget hits.
Unreal - they make such a complex song, both guitar-wise and vocally, look and SOUND SO EASY.. rest in peace, gentlemen, and thank you for all the great music and fun times.
I have to smile when I see some people posting comments about auto-tune and such. First, there weren't no such thing back then and second, they didn't need it! This was a world previous to recording trickery, you know, when talent reigned supreme.
Wow.. areally great clip. Glen is smokin all through this piece. Listen to the fills all through the first and last verse which is basically a carry over from his solo. I loved Jerry 's solo with that legendary Tele sound. . soo funky! I think he has a unique singing style ...This was great!
BIG OMG! Jerry Reed, you are so underappreciated by the masses, but SOOOOOOO appreciated by us masses who matter! You have been singing to me thru the radidio my whole life, since I was a little girl, and I STILL Love You. Of course we crossed the country together in Smokey & the Bandit, but you have always existed in my heart and my head and my favorite music, you are funny, so funny, easy, so many verbs I can't fit them all in. I have admired you for decades as my favorite uncle. Love you, Deb
I remember seeing these guys on TV as a kid and not realizing just how good they were...absolute monsters. I'd throw Jim Stafford in there as well for sheer ability. I didn't particularly care for their styles, but I'd never quibble about their talent.
