As touring sound engineer for the Oak Ridge Boys I got to spend a good bit of time with Glen at his theater in Branson which the Oaks would eventually take over. He loved telling stories about those days and always had a good joke.He was more comfortable with the band and crew guys. Got to watch him perform all the great hits including "Lineman". Although he was getting on in years he still could shred and put on a great show. A good guy.
I got to see him a lot as well in Branson. I worked at the Grand Palace when he was there as well as the Oaks. Learned a lot and have some great memories from that time. Also worked at Charley Pride's in '97. We might have crossed paths.
I got to see Glen a few times @ his theatre in Branson. He might have had the only water curtain in his theatre.
Carol Kaye’s daughter was my next door neighbor. 1400 block of Gold street, Albuquerque.
glen was on jouls holland towards the end.he was still great.its a bbc variety band show,ten great bands played.i recorded it and still watch it.never be another glen.
Great memory thanks for sharing.
I understand people who say "oh, I wanted to be there in these old days", but man, being able to readily access this video, with you talking and discussing about great music, this is pure gold...
Carole Kay is magnificent. She did not get half the credit she deserved for what she brought to the table.
Carole brought the "spice kit" for many a song and the recipe was always better for her efforts!
No kidding! Such as the iconic bass line into the bridge of You've Lost that Lovin Feeling"!
I agree and am guilty as charged! As a 16 year old, 'what does that old white woman have to teach me?'. Young and foolish thinking!
Don’t worry. She got more recognition than you ever will in your life.
@@wolfhard2420 ...and for every creative positive topic there is the troll.
I'm a working Blues musician 69yrs. when I was a child I would watch his show religiously with him and Jerry Reed's guitar exchanges. It was a master class every week. Thank you Glenn thank you Jerry
Jerry Reed was great fun to watch, and could really play.
So true ! Tim explains things so well.❤
I also watched Glen’s show immensely. As well as Johnny Cash, Roy Clark, and many more. I thank Jehovah God, for giving then such a great gift, and inspiring me so much on various instruments…✨✨💎💎💎💎💎✨✨
My wife and I had our first date seeing Glen Campbell 54 and 1/2 years ago. We saw him again on our 30th anniversary in Columbus, Ohio.
He was fantastic both times. I have always been a big fan.
Aw shucks Tim! This is so beautiful! You know I'm a sucker for this part, the tone, the performance! EVERYTHING! Thanks for sharing this
Warren, thank you...yes you and i love a lot of the same music..and thanks for making me part of YOUR wrecking crew!! ....back in the day:)
@@timpierceguitaryou’re the man my friend! You’re in almost everyone’s wrecking crew! The best of the best
I love these stories so much. Also, Rick Beato's Jim Webb interview is definitely required viewing.
Even through my phone's crappy little speaker...
... That Taylor sounds AWESOME!
Tim, thank you very much for this video. My Dad was a lineman and a musician. He used to play and sing this song at company functions but he would change Wichita to Ouachita (Arkansas) lineman and they loved it! My Dad reminded me of Glen when I was a kid because he looked like him and he played all Glen’s songs very well. Last, we went to a Glen Campbell show in Little Rock in the early 2000’s and when Glen was performing Rhinestone Cowboy my 7 year old son joined Glen on stage to help sing…we were shocked because he just ran to the stage and was invited up. Thanks for bringing all these great memories back.
That is a wonderful story Dan! Thank you for sharing it with us! 😃😃😃
I remember when ‘Wichita Lineman’ first came out. This song and this solo still gives me goosebumps today. Glenn was a monster guitar player. I got to see him live in Branson, MO. His show was flawless!
Wichita, not Whitchita
@@nadenolam8368 - Fixed…Thanks!
RIP Tommy Smothers BIG fan here, he inspired me in so many ways. George Harrison recognized his genius. They used comedy to help end a war. Brilliant.
I too had the pleasure of meeting Carol Kaye when I was teaching at a music store in Peoria Illinois in the 80’s. A national treasure.
Alice Cooper was a good friend of Glen. He gave a very heartfelt eulogy that is well worth watching. One day Eddie Van Halen asked Alice to arrange a guitar lesson with Glen.
Nope not true
@@unknownkingdomit is true…there’s a video on UA-cam where Alice Cooper tells the story.
yeah he says that but that doesnt mean it happened @@betterdogbehaviornow581
Bless y’all’s hearts. Sweeties; that is a load of the old crap.
@@davidmuir7711
Actually it is true. You're wrong
I'm 75 years old...
listening and watching you play takes me so far back I don't want to come to today.
Man do I remember the sixties. Viet Nam and all.
I'm with you brother , 75, Viet Nam Corpsman , and Glen Campbell's ( jimmy Webb ) Wichita lineman brings it all back to me.
I'm glad to see you spell Viet Nam correctly. Thank you@@hellskitchen10036
I was rather ironic that I was working for the power company as a lineman after I got back from Viet Nam. The girl that caused all my grief while in Vier Nam, was constantly and continues to be, on, my mind. To this day.....@@hellskitchen10036 Keep you head down and
WELCOME HOME!
This video is so good. I grew up around that era and seeing Glenn, Roy Clark, Jerry Reed, Chet Atkinson, and others got me interested in the instrument while sitting in front of a black and white tv. Just wonderful memories!
Johnny A does a wonderful instrumental version of Wichita Lineman.
I hadn’t heard this song for many years and an early morning trip to an Acme grocery store 15 years or so, ago changed that. This beautiful piece of art was echoing in that most empty store. The bass lines bouncing off the walls, it truly was a life altering moment. When I got back home, I immediately downloaded the song and the other great, “Galveston”. I was sure to get the vinyl versions as soon as I could.
Glen was an amazing guitarist/.musician. Wichita lineman is a great song! Such a beautiful melody! Thanks so much Tim for another great video! Yes, Carol Kaye is probably one of the greatest session players ever!
Carol Kaye also played guitar on "La Bamba" and that walking bass line on Nancy SInatra's "These Boots Are Made For Walking."
"Witchita" was indeed, a great song. "Never My Love" is a great example of The Crew's creativity. Tim! Those fade out lines you wrote are fabulous!
Glen was phenomenal!
True genious!
What a legacy 🙏💯🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
Absolutely wonderful Video , Tim !! Thanks for putting in the time and effort to create this to share with all of us . Just an Amazing Video !! I hope you're doing well . 🎸
SO GLAD you’re talking about Carol Kaye!!!! I have met her several times and she sent me her autobiography, which is amazing! (I bought it, but she sent it herself.) Her life story is absolutely incredible.
What a great video, thank you for all the insights and story's behind the music.
Absolutely phenomenal job on an incredible recording!!❤
incredible piece. incredible melody. i love how you uncovered so much of this mostly unheard story.... great video. I love this channel so much. more than just great guitar knowledge. Preserving magical moments in our musical history. IMPORTANT STUFF.
Another great episode, always informative and fun, great stories and insightful, useful guitar tips...
I'm a fan (and a guitarist)
Cheers Tim,
All the best
Another incredible video! Much love and respect Tim! See you in the next one.
What an incredible musician !!!! It was a pleasure to watch and listen as you work. I'll be looking for your next broadcast.
I still get chills whenever I hear that song. Thanks Tim. Love the vids.
I can sit and listen to you on any topic . It is a joy . Thank you for your hard work.
Without question- an absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful song. Great job as always, Tim. Your experience, sincerity, and heart are rare indeed.
Thanks Tim,
What a great song and one of favorites!
I'm always amazed and educated by your videos, Tim. Thank you!
I looked up Kord - Apple only.
Amazing info summary and playing and reverence for the song and artist
Beautiful blissful joyful. This song and gentle on my mind are 2 of my all time faves.
Tim, this was a great episode. Thank you so much for sharing. From one guitar player to another.
Randy P. from West Texas.
This is my favorite song of his. Good job bringing it back into the light. I seldom hear it on the radio anymore.
Thanks for this! Reading through the comments, it's truly amazing how a song can affect so many different people in remarkably similar ways. For me, I first heard this track when I was in my early teens. When I was 17, I started cycling and hitchhiking around the country every summer for 4 or 5 weeks and this song was one of my favourites. It seemed to somehow capture the dusty sunsets on empty highways and the wide open spaces that I was experiencing -- it still makes me cry 50 years later.
Man oh man, Tim, what a combination of musical history and musicianship on display in this video!!
This is really good info and history. Love the break also. Great video Tim thanks. 👍✌️
Love your video style, your personality and your amazing playing. This Witchita Lineman vid was particularly enjoyable. Love your improvisational extension instrumental, perfect. This song always gets me, it never gets old. From Carol Kay's opening, the song takes you somewhere else, to a nostalgic place with deep feelings of longing.
You are a legend in your own right, Tim. You don't get invited to do all those sessions/gigs you mentioned without being a highly respected incredible artist yourself.
Louie speaks very highly of you. (He's still producing and gigging. 82 years old! 😄 )
I just spoke to him on the phone the other day. 😉
Louie Shelton!! 👍❤️👍
Always enjoy these videos, Tim! Many thanks!
New sub here. This video just popped up as a YT recommend and I am SOOO HAPPY I got to watch and listen. Thank YOU Tim,, thank you so much. I was/am a fan of Glen Campbell forever (I'm 77), bought every one of his albums and watched everything I could on television. Of course back in those days we didn't have a way to learn of everything he was doing in time to get to watch on our TV's. Thank goodness to UA-cam we can now watch and hear just about every tv show on which he performed. I especially enjoyed seeing Glenn and Jerry Reed play together. Few (in those times) could hold a candle to the guitar playing talent those two had.
Thank you for the fabulous stories Tim! So great to have someone giving credit to creative session players like Carol and Glen, whom I have listened to since childhood. He was my dad's favourite, along with Johnny Cash, and we watched their TV shows every week. .
I REALLY LIKE 👍🏻, how Tim shares his inspiration , life experience and knowledge of music and musicians , to share
Thanks Tim - so many amazing musicians and such creativity, playing for the song! - I do miss those times. I know the video was focused on Glen, but it reminded me - Carol Kaye's playing tips on her web site are an absolute must read. I came across a lot of that material in the 90's and it transformed how I think about playing and recording bass guitar. The info on damping is priceless - I find incredibly useful. And practising playing with the metronome on 2 and 4 - just gotta do it 😃
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. This is such a great story! Thanks Tim.
Thank you Tim... I love all your background information. I grew up watching Glen Campbells music hour each week with my mom and grandma... I love your new 6 string bass too.
Blessings... and thanks for all you do...
THANK YOU for this fantastic vid about WL! That song is a fundamental building block of my musical soul.
Thanks Tim. You bought back a lot of great memories.
At age 11, I entered a music contest and managed my way through Wichita Lineman. Terrified kid in front of 3 judges. I wound up with a little trophy designating that I had come in "someplace". I'm in my 60's now and still have that little trophy along with a love for that song and huge respect for Glen Campbell.
Congrats on you "someplace" finish. I also have come in "someplace" and find it a great place to be.
Thanks again Tim for another great episode!!
Thank you for sharing! This feels so authentic and down to earth. Espically Post Covid I feel lost and disconnected from the past I so enjoyed in the 70's and 80's. Your segment here is really wonderful, Thank you EVER SO MUCH! I could listen to hours and hours of this. I love how you talk a little, give a lick, talk a little, switch it up and I love watching you play.
Love this Tim! One of my favorite of your videos!
Tim, you're a legend! Another great video. That fingerpicked part was really nice. Never knew that was in there.
Happy New Year to you and yours! Love these videos, sorry I missed the live stream. I remember when this song came out. Glen Campbell was dominating the radio at one time.
I absolutely adore this song, thanks Tim!
One of my favorite songs of all time such a vibe. And probably one of the most widely covered!
The best part of these videos are the stories of back in the day, Thank you!
Tim ! I couldn’t help but listen to your outtro no less than a half a dozen times 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻, it’s just phenomenal and It’s a crying shame it isn’t on the actual recording 🥲
Great work Tim, love your channel ❤
Not sure why you don’t have a bigger audience Tim. And I love your Taylor!
Excellent dive into a classic, thanks !
Greetings from Corrales, just north of Albuquerque. Great live stream. I loved Glen Campbell. Witchita Lineman is a wonderful song. So many cool stories.
Tim could stream for five or six hours and I'd still be watching. Always fascinating hearing these old tales and seeing and hearing such great playing.
I remember watching the Wrecking crew film, I have a couple of Hal Blaine's books. The stories about Tommy Tedesco are among my favourites. A pedal steel is w-a-ay beyond me, respect to those who can play them. Happy and BUSY New Year to you Tim.
It`s amazing hear the stories of "nervous" behind the scenes like Paul or the camera red light on ... Thank u, sir ! I'm from Brazil !
Fantastic vid Tim! I really wish there was a version of this record available with your wonderful outro on it.
Those old guitar tones never get old …
Always great to look at this beautiful song again. One of my favourite to sing and play, although I'm always moved by the "and I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time" lyrics. I enjoy the channel, bud. Cheers from the UK.
Really appreciate Tim Pierce’s mastery! Such a great musician- we are blessed to have him. Thank you Tim for making so much of yourself available through your UA-cam channel. Wichita Lineman is one of my first “favorite songs”. Being in my mid-60’s, it was on the “rotation” on AM radio when it came out so we listened to it a lot. 🎶CKLW-The Motor City!🎶
This is one of the most perfect songs of all time. It overwhelms me each time I hear it
Tim, what an amazing clip. The killer song, back stories. You nailed the harmony concept. I have the squire bassVI and I love it. For the bridge issue, I found a guy in England who made replacement bridges and it’s great. Also put LaBella flats on it. Your outtake was awesome. Thks
Not only could Glen shred on guitar, his vocals were pitch perfect too. There's a video of a British guy analyzing his vocals. He was an absolute freak of nature.
That’ll be Pegasus channel
His detailed analyses are peerless
His computerised analysis of Linda Kronstadt’s PERFECT pitch showed she was way more us baby boomers’ big dark doe-eyed girlfriend
Hey Tim, I stumbled across an upload of yours on Tonex. Such a great tone that works well on several different styles of axe I use. Keep em coming dude!
Growing up in the 70s it was hard not to know Glen's solo hits as they were on the radio all the time. I didn't know about his session work (or the Wrecking Crew) until I was in college in the 80s. Became a fan then! My wife took me to see Glen in the mid-1990s...we were the youngest people in the audience in our mid-20s and the show was amazing. At one point he pulled out an electric 12 and whipped through his arrangement of the William Tell Overture and Flight of the Bumbebee almost like an afterthought. Amazing musician. Thanks for this retrospective Tim, really enjoyed your insights!
Thanks Tim...you are AWESOME!
He was also an excellent bagpipe player. Worked with him on some projects. His Grammys were sort of just stacked on a table between 2 chairs in his living room when I was in his Az home. First guy to show up- last guy to leave. Awesome
Another Amazing Technical Dive by Master Tim! Thanks from drummer in vegas!
Excellent show, my favorite, Glen was a stellar guitar player. Thanks
Great stories as usual. Really enjoy listening to Tim. I had. No idea Carol came up with the Beat Goes On riff. 👍
This video was very informative and so, so , so enjoyable 👍🏼👍🏼
Well I missed it live Tim but very awesome. I love many of the great old tunes too they are truly timeless😊
Glad you enjoyed it
such a great perspective on a masterpiece !! Thanks Tim
also......fantastic outro !!
What a fun hang Tim. I’ve sung and played this song a few times..masterpiece.
What a great video and story. I grew up listening to Glenn Campbell. Just an amazing musician. What an amazing honor and achievement to be able to play with Glenn Campbell and on the album. RLTW 3/75
Thank sir for another amazing history lesson ! 😎👍
I'm sorry that I missed this live but it's another most excellent episode Tim!
Great video Tim. Happy New Year...
Awesome stuff! I have watched the Wrecking Crew at least 5 times. I can't get enough of music history. Carol Kay was incredible. All of those guys were. And they were just working musicians. Tim, you are an inspiration. It is so good to see someone who is so talented, and so nice. Your willingness to share your music knowledge is very admirable. More...... Please!
What a cool 6-string bass. I want one too now. I`m hearing Greg Lake tone from your settings. Excellent!
I too got to meet Carol Kaye about 20 years ago. She was very gracious and loved sharing her wealth of musical knowledge.
Boy, Tim, what a great show!!!! Loved it!!!!!!
Wonderful stories, wonderful content, wonderful playing. Subscribed.
Thanks for that blast from the past of the history of he music I learned as a kid
The People and Players behind the studio magic. Great stories! Thank You.
Carol Kaye is a brilliant musician. I’ve been a fan for decades.
Carol Kaye blows me away on guitar, as a grandmother and me playing four decades.
Glen was easily one of the best guitarists ever.
Thank you Tim, you are someone that makes me aspire to be a better musician.... If I had to describe you in one word? Inspirational!... Thank you again!
So informative…thankyou!
Thanks Tim sir.
No matter if you play night, afternoon or morning.... Tim you are a big star🌟👑. Great video, thanks for all the behind the scenes info. You are right about Carol Kaye. Before she became a studio legend on bass, she made her living playing jazz guitar in clubs around L.A.
