I was in Vietnam in 1969, as an American soldier, when Galveston started playing on the radio at our artillery base that was way out in the middle of nowhere near the Cambodian border. I was moved emotionally as if that song was written just for me.

Glen Campbell. This guy wasn't just a double threat. He was a triple threat. He could play guitar better than anyone, could sing just as good as the very best AND he could act. He was John Wayne's Costar in True Grit for one and he did a very good job as an actor. His life must have been incredible. Can you imagine playing guitar on the Beach Boys albums and countless others as a studio musician and meeting them all? Can you imagine meeting all of the Music greats that he has ? Having his own TV show ? Meeting and working with John Wayne ? Extraordinary isn't a good enough word. When you look up the word talent in the dictionary there should be a picture of Glen Campbell and nothing else.

Its not that the soldier is "afraid of dying" its that he doesn't want to die and make someone else that MISSES him cry, "until I dry the tears she's crying". Even facing death, he's thinking of others and wanting to comfort them. Its a tale of not just circumstance but the character of selflessness and the affliction concerning it.

And it wasn't even his best solo.

I was a 13 yr old and bought this album and played it a lot on our big sound system. I had a dozen much older male cousins who were all drafted and when they came to our home when they were all on leave they asked my parents not to let me play the album because of this song, beautiful though it was. I was pissed right off but 50 years later I DO understand. They were all afraid of what they had to face. 2 Of the dozen died in VN but the rest came home haunted. My Dad who was a very nearly killed veteran of WWII, (front line overrun, Battle of the Bulge) held on to that album when ever my cousins came to stay for several years after they all came home. I thank Heaven he did that, since it would really have caused unintentional hurt to those good men. They did as their country asked even though it was wrong.

I was nine and my favorite uncle was in Viet nam and I remember my mom, who always had the record player on, told us what this song was about. My uncle made it back and was one of the lucky ones. Bless all vets from all the wars and support them in every way you can.

The chord progressions in this song are literally unmatched. Jimmy Webb was a song writing genius and Glen Campbell could play anything given to him, despite being unable to read music. And seeing him and Steve Wariner here is a moment in time!

As Steve Wariner played that baritone guitar signature melody line, the look of joy on his face was palpable ... a one-time event that went by much too quickly, but even still, he was able to grasp the love of the moment and enjoy it to its fullest.

Still get a little choked up watching this and seeing how much Glen just loved to perform! I remember all of his big hits and watching his TV show as a kid. Never knew how good he was at the time. Then I asked a guitar player/teacher friend of mine who his favorite guitar player was, and thought he was kidding when he said “Glen Campbell”. Well, I learned something that day.

I think Glenn Campbell was probably the most underrated musician we have seen in the 20th century. Country, blues, rock, he could do it all.

Oh MY GOD,,, OH MY GOD, COULD THAT MAN PLAY THE GUITAR LIKE NO OTHER MAN EVER...... PERIOD.

I can brag to my teenage son who knows truly good music when he hears it, that I grew up to Glen Campbell's music in the '60s and '70s.

Who gives this a thumbs down for Pete's sake?!? Glen and Steve have talent beyond measure. 💕

When I feel a little down I listen to this live version. Like Merle said, so MUCH talent. What a performer!!

omgosh! He sang it just as good if not better than you hear it on his record. Great harmony with Steve Wariner. Legends!

A master at his craft. With his apprentice.

When Merle Haggard says what he says in this clip... well you can take that to the bank! Glen Campbell is among the greats.

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

THE MOST INSANE COMBINATION OF MUSICAL GIFTS THE HUMAN MIND COULD POSSIBLY ENVISION. OR GOD COULD CREATE!!! No Singer/Musician could do the things Glen Campbell was born to do. That wonderful, high pitched Falsetto voice. Perfectly in place with every note of music. Whether the song was Bullet fast or Maple Syrup slow, it was flawlessly performed. Not only that, many consider him the greatest Guitar Player that ever lived. Or any other instrument he tried. Until I saw his Classic Sioux Falls Concert on You Tube, I didn't realize he played Bagpipes. There he was, singing Amazing Grace and playing the Pipes like a Scottish Highlander!! A musical freak of nature, blessed by a higher force. In those two aspects, the Country Boy from Arkansas was unapproached. A once in a Century talent.

First heard this on LZ Bastogne in northern I Corps in ‘68! Thought “ damn, is he singin’ about us?”! Thanks, Mr. Campbell. Peace

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.

Many older artists can never recapture the energy and intensity of classics they recorded when young.....not so HERE !! I keep coming back to this performance....it is as good as the original performance on the original record and Glen Campbell magically conveys the emotion of this song as only he himself could.........a master at work with an added bonus of Steve Wariner to make this an unforgettable song in the hearts of true Americans. Happy trails and many thanks to the Wichita Lineman.....

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

I am from Galveston and one of my classmates was killed in Vietnam. Because of that this song is especially poignant and sad yet so beautiful and timeless. I was in high school when this song came out. It really kind of put our little town on the map.

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.

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.,

Steve Wariners smile at 5:30 says everything about Glen.

You see Steve smiling on more than one occasion during Glens solo and that just sums it up really.

I'm sure Steve's heart was broken by the loss of his good friend and hero. Such a monumental loss. The joy he must of had playing with Glen. Steve you have my sympathy and a big hug, it's not much but best of wishes.

If anyone has ever doubted the Magnitude of this incredible Song, they need only to come here ... Thank You and Rest in Peace, MR. GLEN CAMPBELL

I just can't stop watching this video....I will miss this great man so much. The best guitar player that has ever lived. Used to drive my old TR7 Triumph in the early 80's listening to Glenn. No one to touch him. RIP Glenn.

No one like Glen. I grew up with some of the greatest music legends and so thankful for that.

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.

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.

In my opinion the best guitarist ever...

Never a better guitarist,,great song

The Campbell Wariner combo went back quite a ways. It was very special.

5:07 the smiles on the faces of Steve Wariner and the backup singer says it all while they watch a legend doing what he loved to do. What an amazing talent.

God bless Glen Campbell.......................thank you Lord for seeing such a great talent before you called him home

His body of work is the quintessential soundtrack of the 60s , & 70s. I mean, you hear those songs and it takes you right back to that time

That guitar solo at the end..absolutely magnificent!!
