This was made when Glen was in his prime and known across the globe. I recently read where he is ill now and forgets things on stage. Life can be cruel can't it.
I love Glen Campbell and his interpretations. He's more of an interpreter with songs than a songwriter, even though he has written some good songs, and plays a mean acoustic guitar!
@tuc6100 I'm not sure which concert this is, but Campbell DID perform this tune at "The Dome".... someplace in Great Britain. I first spotted the performance on a PBS broadcast, where the video "Glen Campbell--Live at The Dome" was mentioned/offered for sale. He also performs Ralph McTell's "Streets Of London". He had a great band with him. It was, indeed, a moving performance.
Unbelieveable!! Gives me goosebumps every time I hear and see this video. I wouldn't have believed old Glen to be capable of this kind of emoting. I also had no idea he could play bagpipes.
By far, Glenn puts more heart & soul in this song than anyone else I've seen and listened to. His original recording of this will take your breath away. I like it better than Paul's version.
Ok, I have to admit.....GLen's never been one of my favorites singers but this song is beautiful. And I love to hear bagpipes and had no idea he could play them. This absolutely blows me away. I love it.
@VideosTimes2 Yeah. I like his sense of humor. At the start he said, that you see there is no beginning of this man talent. And procuced such performance of this ong alone that could'nt be done anymore by anyone. Deep respect. Glen är best.
This is great--he really does a fantastic job!! I've never been a fan of his since he sang my hometown's song-- Galveston,,,nor the lineman one, But this is a fantastic song sung by him!! Of course I like Sir Paul's better!! TY
Music to die for!! I had never heard this version either but it's awesome. Not as awesome as Sir Paul McCartney's but in its own way with Mr. Campbell playing the bagpipe! What a treat...TY for this video!
Wow....first time I heard Glen Campbell's version. I always loved the original version my McCartney. It doesn't shock me at all that he can play bagpipes. Glen Campbell is a great musician.....they guy was a working stuido musician, brief stint as a Bech Boy, and then solo. He's got the chops.
Sung like a true Scotsman, with a true Scots name. Loved it. From a Glaswegian with parents from the Isle of Harris and Islay now living on Long island, New York, USA for 43 years.
I love this version, and I did not know that Glen Campbell played bagpipes. I also love the version sung by Celtic Thunder's George. But I would have to say that this one touched me even more than Celtic Thunders version, and I'm really a fan of that group.
havnt heard the original , i have grown up listening to Glens version, its amazing, he has such a great voice! even today :) new album is great to! he can sing anything although i prefer the older stuff :D thanks 4 uploading its beautiful , bagpipes are awesome x
Glen has truly done a beautiful job not only singing this sing, but allowing the listener to beleive what he is singing. What a heart felt piece- and compliments the true meaning with the bag pipes. I can not say enough about this version, sung by Mr. Glen Campbell. Thanks for posting this video.
It is very quiet and I suppose a perfect place for a rock star to relax away from the rock'n' roll lifestyle. I have been in a helicopter flying over Paul's house on a summer day and that was fairly awesome.
It there is just a trace of the Glen in you the skin goosebumps when you hear this.... I liked his 60's version with the Black Watch playing the pipes
OMG! What an incredible talent! Of course, Glen is from Arkansas. This is where our Ozark, bluegrass music comes from - our Scottish-Irish heritage. Ever notice how easily a Southern accent converts to an English or Irish accent? This music touches me to my very soul! My Irish grandmother would sing out loud as could be whenever it hit her. We have carried our love of music through the generations. Check out my son on My Space - Ryker James - singer/songwriter, plays all instruments. Will enjoy!
im scottish and im so,so proud of this song from wings but to hear glen campbell sign it was amazin (grace) to hear and to hear him play the bagpipes makes it even better
I once saw Glen on television playing "Little Drummer Boy" on the bagpipes. It was absolutely stunning! Unlike anything I've ever heard! If anyone finds a recording of him playing that song, PLEASE post it. It is awesome!
I wonder if anybody else hears Appalachian folk and gospel music in this. I always thought so when Paul did it, but with Glen Cambell doing it, it becomes even more obvious. It makes sense because Appalachian people are mostly Scotch-Irish. I just find it fascinating to hear the music from which ours mutated.
Outstanding version of a classic song never played in the US.....incredible. The US was too concerned with disco when Paul released this incredible song. Glen did justice to a perfect version by Paul...what a talented guy!
I've always loved Glen C. My parents had all his lp's and I grew up listening to him. He's a phenomenal musician. Love this video! Thanks for posting it.
Amazin song from the DVD titled Glen Campbell In Dublin. Glen says before the start of the song that he is "part Irish" and is going to sing a "song by a current artist Paul McCartney".
Great song... great version. I love the "false finger" of a few notes. John Lennon would have loved this version, even if he wouldn't credit Paul Mc Cartney for a great song!!!
Mull of Kintyre in Country style, i love it. Love Glen Campbell and love this song. I live in England but got Scottish Blood in me, so it kinda means sumfin to me aswell. Thanks 4 the video.
He stops up the drones so they don't sound, that makes it easier for him to get in and out of the tune. He does a good job having not had much in the way of formal bagpipe instruction. He does "false finger" a few notes that tends to flatten the sound some. But hey, he gives our instrument a fine go at it.
I don't believe it's ever been released on cd, but try to find Campbell's LP "I Knew Jesus Before He Was A Superstar" which includes his fantastic "Amazing Grace" where he plays the bagpipes!
What a talent. Didn't knoiw he played the pipes. He was a good "Beach Boy" too.
