💘Roger Miller! 💘Glen Campbell 💘Willie Nelson. Thanks for the beautiful 😍music that brightened my life. I'm eternally grateful. God bless and may their souls rest in peace.
2:55 I could just die.The playing the tempo.Willies picking.All of their individual voices.The love in this song .The 57 years of my life that have gone by .My family that have gone by.
Love this song by Roger, in spite of all the crazy songs Roger wrote, he sure proved with this one, and some others that he could write a serious song with the best of them...
I'll never forget when Roger Miller made everyone a fan, and made them laugh like hell when 'Dang Me' hit the airwaves!!! It kinda shocked a few people too, but man, was it a big hit!!!
I was too young to know what a loss we had when we lost roger miller and no disrespect to glen Campbell. I've seen roger millers work and consider my self to be one of his greatest modern fan's. Don't go Willie... never leave. I'm a 30. Stick around Willie for as long as you can. I love your talent.
Glen and Willie are getting old. It will be a sad sad day. We've already lost so many country legends in the last few years. Guy Clark and Merle Haggard this year. We'll always have the gifts they left us though.
If you weren't aware poolofmud -- listen to Roger Miller's true masterpiece -- "River In the Rain," (UA-cam) from an award winning Broadway show he wrote called "Big River" (1985). Miller wrote some memorable hit songs in the 60's but this "River In the Rain" tune convinces me he was no flash in the pan country-novelty singer-songwriter. Miller was masterful. The musicians on this track are stellar.
You think these three are good together, check out The Highwaymen. Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash. True outlaw country with those four.
I love the history together of Roger Miller, Willie Nelson, and Ray Price. I love Glen Campbell. Like the commenters said, “Amazing Professionals” , and “Mount Rushmore of Music, Come to Life.”
Willie is still out there performing just before the pandemic I saw him at the Houston rodeo and it was an amazing show. He had the entire Houston arena on their feet.
Who'd have guessed back then that Roger would be gone from cancer, Glenn from Alzheimer's and Willie--the oldest of the trio--would still be on the road?
great singers and songs!!! poor old Trigger (Willie's guitar) looks ready to go up yonder. Roger's another songwriter who supplied hits to other singers instead of doing them himself
I met Willie and spent a few days with him years ago. Its like a guy you meet at 7-11 and decide to drink a few beers with him and hang out. A normal dude, man....
Ok....I am not a country music fan..but are Country music performers good? You bet your ars!! they are among the best musicians and singers in the world...Now I am a former musician..I listen to these 3 GODS ..well I feel..a bit small :):) God landed on these Guys too much talent too handle. How can you get 3 different talents and 3 different style of music..put them in the Music blender..and VOILA'..great sound..thank you Davehenry55
You know, I've been telling folks this for about 30 years, and it just sort of falls on deaf ears. As a musician myself, I recognized at a very early age just how how good some of these guys are. Everyone credits rock musicians as being the best, but some of Nashville's finest are in a different class. Great post.
That solo of Willies was top notch. You know, especially now days, since the advent of computers and gadgets, musicians aren't NEAR as good as back in the day... especially rock, pop etc.
giuseppe Garibaldi The thing that links all these guys and their talent is their Southern Christian upbringing and their dedication to their music, plain and simple.
What I miss most about these men and their contemporaries of the time...they were all unique...everyone didn't sound the same and there wasn't a "formula". What a rich moment with Glen, Willie and Roger.
There was a formula alright. But all the songs that sounded the same isn't remembered. These guys are some of the ones who refused to be defined by a genre, and locked in a box by a producer.
Good thoughts but you might want to wait until Willie is gone before you start missing him. The man is still around and on tour as of 2022. He'll probably outlive you.
Willie is the most identifiable guitar player in music history......even when couched with great players........as he is here. I could listen to 1000 instrumental only guitar centric sections of music with a Willie/no Willie button, and I would not miss one time.
I'll just point out that between the three of them, they made 166 appearances on the C&W Top 40 charts in Billboard. They also put 39 of those hits on the Pop Top 40. What a gathering of true talents. I was lucky enough to meet all of them back in my DJ days, and they were a treat to be around.
Yes, three very different singers and guitar players! I love Glen Campbell of course… And I love Willie Nelson and I love Roger Miller! All three their own styles! And Willie Nelson playing on that old guitar with that hole in it, it’s kind of amazing! He has such a great sound with that old guitar… And I love his voice and I love Roger Miller’s also!!!! Great song, Old Friends! Maybe what they are!
That old guitar is a martin classical guitar with nylon strings, quite expensive in the 60's. Willie plays it in way that it's not meant to played, hence the damage since it has no pick guard. It's how he has such a unique sound. Oh and he is a virtuoso guitar plyer.
I'll never forget when Roger Miller made everyone a fan, and made them laugh like hell when 'Dang Me' hit the airwaves!!! It kinda shocked a few people too, but man, was it a big hit!!!
…O they tell me of a King in His beauty there, And they tell me that mine eyes shall behold Where He sits on the throne that is whiter than snow, In the city that is made of gold O they tell me that He smiles on His children there, And His smile drives their sorrows all away; And they tell me that no tears ever come again, In that lovely land of uncloudy day……
💘Roger Miller! 💘Glen Campbell 💘Willie Nelson. Thanks for the beautiful 😍music that brightened my life. I'm eternally grateful. God bless and may their souls rest in peace.

ty im 73 and a biker
The older I get, the more I appreciate this song; especially as I lose good friends with time.
Love this song by Roger, in spite of all the crazy songs Roger wrote, he sure proved with this one, and some others that he could write a serious song with the best of them...

They are gods, and they will live forever. Thank you Glen, thank you Roger, and thank you Willie!
Three totally different styles and talents, yet they make amazing music together. True professionals in every sense of the word!

True!!
Yes, indeed!!
Impeccable merci
The talent of these greats. Three great American musicians. Makes me nostalgic.
Like a gathering of three great statesmen or senators, these three men have contributed so much to our American cultural heritage.
Old friends is a beautiful song. What a joy.
I love the history together of Roger Miller, Willie Nelson, and Ray Price. I love Glen Campbell. Like the commenters said, “Amazing Professionals” , and “Mount Rushmore of Music, Come to Life.”
I think this was probably in the 70's. These three had OODLES OF TALENT to burn. all three now very much missed. two great songs for sure.
We still have Willie.
This clip was from The Glen Campbell Music Show (1982), and Willie Nelson is still singing & strumming and Touring at age 86!!
Willie is still out there performing just before the pandemic I saw him at the Houston rodeo and it was an amazing show. He had the entire Houston arena on their feet.
Now that is a stage full of talent !
Three great talents, Roger such a funny guy too.
Doesn’t get any better than this!!!!!!!
TRIGGER & WILLIE, A GUITAR THAT PLAYS ITS SELF...
🇧🇷 Muito bom!
Never knew this vid existed, it really is a peach. WOW!
Willie Nelson. Greatest of the greats!
“If the good lord put too much talent in one human being’s body that’d be Glen Campbell” - Merle Haggard. RIP gentlemen
Amen brother
Looks, talent and charisma...what more do you need?
Ole Merle always had some great quotes.
Love these guys...so authentic!
Writing this on Willie’s 88th Bday! Yay!
I don't remember ever hearing this... it is beautiful! thank you so much for posting this... so poignant now....
ur very welcome
Who'd have guessed back then that Roger would be gone from cancer, Glenn from Alzheimer's and Willie--the oldest of the trio--would still be on the road?
..... Excellent.
Bellissimo video! Abbiamo tre voci meravigliose per una canzone molto bella! 😊😊😍😍🎶🎸🎸🎸🎶💘❤️💯💯💯🌅
Three super talents.
Three of Country greats.
Real country music not the modern crap nowadays , I’m a rocker and I know the difference 😎
Fantastic , If you have headphones you will notice only one sides plays with this song , has any one noticed ?
Who gives a shit
Marzo 2019 ... country music fan..
Outlaw country singers play their guitars. I never saw George Strait do the same. Strait's wears guitar as props.
That’s what music is
My left ear loves this.
I do not wanna be where storm clouds rise
Nice!
❤❤❤
Did you notice that Glenn and Roger traded guitars between songs, but, Willy held onto Trigger.
not sure you see this too much anymore...from anyone
Gina Thai I think they liked each other, as friends, and respected one another as profession.
Too bad this person didn’t record this on a stereo set up.
great singers and songs!!! poor old Trigger (Willie's guitar) looks ready to go up yonder.
Roger's another songwriter who supplied hits to other singers instead of doing them himself
Tell me about your good friends, and I'll tell you about my bad enemies. Maybe somewhere in between exists our loneliness.
They should have cut this one.
can’t be “11 years ago”…Miller died in 1992.
1982. Here's the actual show link.

Three giants
I met Willie and spent a few days with him years ago. Its like a guy you meet at 7-11 and decide to drink a few beers with him and hang out. A normal dude, man....
Cool!!

garris I am with you all the way...to Nasvville
That solo of Willies was top notch.
You know, especially now days, since the advent of computers and gadgets, musicians aren't NEAR as good as back in the day... especially rock, pop etc.
Graet post there
giuseppe Garibaldi The thing that links all these guys and their talent is their Southern Christian upbringing and their dedication to their music, plain and simple.
Gold. Real talent. Some of the best in Country Music's history.
OLD FRIENDS.....one of the greatest country songs ever written. Thanks Roger, ya done good.
Just happened upon this, WOW! 3 of the most unique talents ever.
Glen had the ability to change his voice in so many ways.When he's singing here he is doing his willie version and pretty good too.
Willies playing is just like his kids sweet Jesus I'm in love with this 💥✌🏼🎸👠😎this family and their talents.
What I miss most about these men and their contemporaries of the time...they were all unique...everyone didn't sound the same and there wasn't a "formula". What a rich moment with Glen, Willie and Roger.
There was a formula alright. But all the songs that sounded the same isn't remembered. These guys are some of the ones who refused to be defined by a genre, and locked in a box by a producer.
This is like gold.
Good thoughts but you might want to wait until Willie is gone before you start missing him. The man is still around and on tour as of 2022. He'll probably outlive you.
Wow. Besides being good singers, these three were also awesome guitar pickers!
Hang in there Willie! RIP Roger and Glen.
I am with you....what a trio!
Willie is the most identifiable guitar player in music history......even when couched with great players........as he is here.
I could listen to 1000 instrumental only guitar centric sections of music with a Willie/no Willie button, and I would not miss one time.
Come on.....does it get any better!!!! Oh they tell me!!!!💝
It don't get no better.. lot of good feelings there, you can see and hear it in Glen Campbell's voice
Good to see these greats together again. Willie's on fine form here.
Three great guitar players and musicians.
this is spectacular!! the talent is out of the world all 3 of them! love that this was on vcr tape, what a treasure! thanks for posting.
I never knew he wrote Old Friends. It has been performed by nearly everyone. I love this version.
Glens gone now too! I love u tube for loving fans enough to let us have these treasures to watch! A gift 🎁
I'll just point out that between the three of them, they made 166 appearances on the C&W Top 40 charts in Billboard. They also put 39 of those hits on the Pop Top 40. What a gathering of true talents. I was lucky enough to meet all of them back in my DJ days, and they were a treat to be around.
Jim Southern-What a thrill meeting this special trio of friends must have been for you! They will never be replaced.
Before his fame as a singer Glen Campbell was a top studio musician and is on a lot more top 40 songs than that and not just C&W.
very cool!!
Where did you DJ at Jim ? You have got to have some great stories from then.
This is great. What a wonderful version of this beautiful song.
Yes, three very different singers and guitar players! I love Glen Campbell of course… And I love Willie Nelson and I love Roger Miller! All three their own styles! And Willie Nelson playing on that old guitar with that hole in it, it’s kind of amazing! He has such a great sound with that old guitar… And I love his voice and I love Roger Miller’s also!!!!

Che meraviglia! Un trio favoloso! La voce di Willie risalta... 😊😊😍😍😘😘🎶🎸🎸🎶💘❤️💋💯💯💯
Great !!! but we have 4 Star s i think is Trigger. Thanks Dave . Jockel from Berlin
Listen to those guitars! They really sing as well as the voices.
Mount Rushmore of Music Come to Life. Awesome!
Excellent !!!
Holding arms to climb a curb. Getting real.
They are all very talented but no one plays the guitar like Willie.
this is oct 2020 what we really need is more of this--good strumming--good singing--good fun-we are smiling now!
Once in million combo. Thanks for posting
LEGENDS..💕
Too much talent for one stage! ❤️❤️❤️
I'll never forget when Roger Miller made everyone a fan, and made them laugh like hell when 'Dang Me' hit the airwaves!!! It kinda shocked a few people too, but man, was it a big hit!!!
Three of the legends I grew up listening to. I keep a guitar in my home because of these men.
great harmony . . . love the songs
This. Is . Perfect.
CLASSIC!!! LOVED IT!!!!♡😘
when was this?? looks early 80s
Amazing! Three great talents! ❤️❤️❤️
Lindo, a melhor apresentação que eu conheço.
Willie must be lonely now. All of his contemporaries are dead; even some that were much younger than him.
So special, thankyou for sharing.
3 singing angels 😇 💕 🎶 but we still have willi Nelson on earth 🌎 PTL the greatest ♥️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️ 🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊
Real Country and Western Stars!
I wish that I had just 25 % of the music ability that Glen had.
Too bad that they didn’t invite Glen to do an album with them.
Definitions of greatiness]
@@royprice9136AMEN! Mr. Price.
Nice harmony at the end!
Beautiful!!!
Trigger was so young then ,
…O they tell me of a King in His beauty there,
And they tell me that mine eyes shall behold
Where He sits on the throne that is whiter than snow,
In the city that is made of gold
O they tell me that He smiles on His children there,
And His smile drives their sorrows all away;
And they tell me that no tears ever come again,
In that lovely land of uncloudy day……
Ain't trigger beautiful !💥✌🏼🎸👠🎶🎨😎🔥
Indeed it is. And Willie is brilliant as well. /CD
Willie's guitar then and now.
Why can't the people who post these clips tell us when and where they were recorded?
It sure would be nice.... This clip was from The Glen Campbell Music Show (1982) Guest:Willie Nelson, Roger Miller was a surprise guest.
Willie, amazing on guitar,....
I LOVE IT MYSELF, BUT THERE AIN'T MANY OF THEM LEFT THAT GOT COUNTRY MUSIC REALLY STARTED ARE THEY !?!?
GARY
Beautiful by these awesome singers!!❤️❤️
Willie never caved in to popular guitars, The N 20 has served his purpose.
