I'm a brit who has travelled across middle and southern US states and this song encapsulates how beautiful a country you have, long balmy nights with baseball, BBQs and good bluegrass music.
I'm glad you got to see America in her prime, but I'd dare to say she would look different to you now. Sure, there are remnants of southern heritage with a laid back attitude and lifestyle, but those are fading fast. Glad you enjoyed your time here.
Jerry Reed is one of the best guitarists AND entertainers of all time. You can tell he's having a blast, and that it's genuine. To see him and Glen Campbell, pickin and grinnin on a summer day on the lake, surrounded by a huge crowd... now that's my idea of heaven. Forgive me for sounding cliche, but it really doesn't get any better than this.
So right about the moment they were having there. Jerry Reed is about as pure as it gets also. His vibrant personality comes out no matter what he was doing. Makes goose bumps watching him entertain. He was of course a genius on the guitar.
I agree. Jerry Reed will go down in history as the most underrated musician, actor, and entertainer of all time. He's clearly a legendary guitarist and singer that too many may only know him as merely the Truck driver in Smokey and the Bandit.
As a Brit (strong music tradition) I absolutely love listening to such talented American musicians. This style of music is just so happy, puts a smile on my face every time I hear it, no-one does it so well. Thank you Jerry, Glen and the USA, love from across the water
Yeah well the USA loves British musicians even more. Too many great British musicians to list ; of course the Beatles, Led Zepplin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, can't even name all of the great bands, too many to list! In my opinion Paul McCartney is the greatest musician that ever lived and will always be the greatest musician of all time period. USA 🇺🇸 loves 🇬🇧 musicians!
Wendell , this song was written by a sweet man who used to live down the street from me, he was black....his name was Allen Toussaint...Youre in good company
that was back when shorts were shorts. Seems like they go to your knees now (and have for over 30 years). It's okay, I can still make my own cut off jeans. dgt
we're so lucky. we're lucky this was recorded all those years ago, we're lucky it was uploaded 12 years ago, and we're damn lucky that these two once walked this earth and blessed us with their beautiful music for all time.
Jerry Reed was a tremendous picker! Legendary. Glenn Campbell was on a whole different level than anyone. A member of the wrecking crew that was responsible for 100''s of the biggest hits off all time.
Great performance of one of Glen's best. This was Jerry Reed and Special Friends, a celebrity picnic and concert at Hermitage Landing in Nashville. The year is 1982.
what a great year: I was 20, went through Airborne School, had a 32" waist, went back to my college in fall semester of 82 and got there 2 days early - and went over to see Officer and a Gentleman in local theater.
mikser I THINK THAT JERRY REED LOOKED AWESOME IN HIS OUTFIT. I LOVE JERRY REEDS BRITE YELLOW FISHINGI HAT. GLENN Campbell WAS ALSO AN AWESOME GUITAR PICKER. JERRY REED TOUGHT GLEN HOW TO PLAY ONE LICK ON IS GUITAR. AWESOME SONG SOUTHERN NIGHTS. TWO AWESOME GUITAR PICKERS. N TWO AWESOME FRIENDS. RAD SHORTS ON GLENN CAMPBELL. THEY LOOK TO TIGHT ON HIM. 😀😁RIP TO JERRY REED.
she was SO hot with that perky little face and that jet black hair...and she'd cook you eggs. I don't know how she got that hot with Victor French as her dad, though!
I was 11.... still all arms and legs, muscles didn't come until later. It's amazing how familiar and carefree that scene (most 80s scenes) looked to me.
Glen and Jerry, wrote their own songs, played their own instruments, sang with their own voices, and were humble as hell. Are there any artists like this today?
@@peterobertson2086 Yeah, I'm about as big of a fan of Glen's as it gets but even I gotta admit he didn't write too many of his own songs, though when he did they were absolute BANGERS, Visions of Sugarplums, Love Is A Lonesome River, Valley of Death, Back In The Race, I could go on, he wrote so many amazing songs, so yeh, he definitely COULD write, he just didn't a lot. It's a shame too, I need more songs like Visions of Sugarplums in my life.
It’s 38 years since this performance. Two massive talents. What I would do to go back in time to this exact moment and to be there. I wonder if the people sitting there realized they were watching history being created. Carefree, happy, and simpler times.
You sure about the timing? That would be 1983. The only thing I found with Jerry Reed and Glen Campbell together around that time is the The Glen Campbell Music Show which was done indoors on a stage, and from a screenshot, it looks like Glen had less grey in his beard compared to what he looks like when this was filmed.
I was thinking the same thing that would have been something real real special a gift from God to be there at that place and time. You know Reed was down there fishing that lake too!
This, and the time he played it’s live with Leon Russell for TV. Leon on keys, and it was amazing! Only thing I’d have done differently was make it a duet between Glenn & Leon. This is it: ua-cam.com/video/BTgAWd6V2Jo/v-deo.html
I remember when I was kid back 70’s when I first started to love hearing Glenn Campbell with Rhinestone Cowboy and then Southern Nights.He went to Heaven but he is still with us with his music.
@@GeorgiaOverdrive Perhaps but, Glen Campbell wasn't high WHEN he sang THIS ... his voice is too smooth, he's too relaxed but, MAYBE he did some lines AFTER his performance ;)
Just imagine the energy in that place, an atmosphere of pure love for life, music, family, friends and the SOUTH! Wouldn’t trade my southern upbringing for anything in the world.
Im Scottish and this song reminds me of an America that just doesnt seem to exist anymore. Looks like the golden years have passed. But i may be wrong its just a feeling i get when i watch things now thats happening to the way it used to be.
This content is culturally significant. Posting it on UA-cam will ensure that future generations will have access to it and appreciate it. Thank you for sharing it.
I am so glad someone decided to put this song in the new guardians movie, give Glen some more credit! he is the man! great guitarist, no kids know about him, maybe now they will. R.I.P.
Such a beautiful setting and version ...love it at 1:27 when Glen yells out "Remember your lick" and Jerry replies "No" thats the way so many of us muso's roll R.I.P Jerry
Was in a dodge maxi van back in the day painted by Ernie Ball, eight track playing to southern nights(among other songs) best times of my life for sure. RIP
What can I say when you have two Master musicians on one stage together this is what happens you can't ask for better. May God rest the souls of these two gentlemen.
I got to see Jerry Reed perform in the parking lot of a small motel in a tiny town in Iowa back in the early 90's. Maybe 100 people in the parking lot and I was all of about 10 feet from him. He made picking look so easy and natural. Good times.
reno145 MY HUSBAND N I MEET JERRY REED IN PERSON IT WAS AWESOME.HIS CONCERT WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. JERRY REED.GAVE A KISS ON MY CHEECK. THERE WILL NO ONE ELSE LIKE JERRY REED. WHAT A VERY HANDSOME MAN. HIS BAND MEMBERS. WERE VERY NICE TO US.HIS WIFE PRISCILLA REED WAS A VERY PRETTY LADY. JERRY REED WORE AWESOME CLOTHES.
That's what life's all about. Those spontaneous moments that can't be repeated, and in hindsight (even if you realize they're special at the time) you kind of smack yourself for not realizing HOW special they were. But still, yeah. Good times.
The lilt of the song does indeed give one a view that nights down in the summer areas of the South have a musical quality. It is uplifting and in NC, Fla. I have experienced them and now at 81 I still remember tho I live now in the soviet republic of Ca
Look at Glenn rockin those daisy dukes! I don’t think they make men this confident anymore 😂😂 one of my favorite songs 🙌🏽 “feels so good, feels so good if I can wish I could stop this world from the fighting da dada da da.....” 🎶🎶
I am French Malagasy Creole. In France we listen to rap, zouk, variety, rock, Roots, a lot of music from home but that guys... We should listen to it every week! They will eat it all week at my job! This is a real guy and the whole team accompanies him to perfection! I would have loved to be there so thank you for sharing this gem!! And the sound is impeccable. PS I used a translator 😉
Glen Campbell in shorts, his Arkansas T-shirt (state where he was born), his sexy beard, beautiful hair... what a handsome guy and beautiful sight! Thanks for uploading this clip of a very popular song that makes you want to get up and dance!
Music. As it was meant to be. It makes you close your eyes, sing along and smile. The kind of music that soothes your soul. Not to mention watching two of the finest pickers the world has ever known just having fun.
Thank you Lord for Glen Campbell, what an incredible song! While wearing his state shirt too! Just letting people know that somebody made one hell of a statement from Arkansas besides Johnny Cash for his career! I wouldn't trade southern nights in this great state of mine for any other
I got home from Vietnam in 1968 and never heard of Glen Campbell. One of the guys living in the BOQ at Fort Gordon, GA had his door open and I heard Glen. I stopped in my tracks and asked who was that singing? He told me who it was. I immediately went out and bought his albums and listen to them to this day. Jerry Reed and Glen Campbell were great musicians. May They Rest In Peace.
@@jamesbacon1776 Its not the performance per se it's the star power here. You have here 2 innovators and masters of guitar work in country music. Legends. Not to mention movie stars.
They truly lived in carefree times... those shorts are proof... what a setting for this amazing concert!? Oh man, I’m jealous of anyone who was there...
Glen's joy and spirit and voice and energy are so free and easy and BEAUTIFUL....!!! God, this man was so alive and so in the zone! So gifted and so damned gorgeous....!!!! I can't stop crying from the beauty!!!
I wish I could buy a CD with only this song on it, played by these two people, over and over. It makes my heart bleed for where Glen is now. And Jerry's gone.
Laura Kirk 2 of the best guitarists this world will ever know... and both vastly underrated IMHO....yes, I feel so sad about Glen and miss Jerry.... wooooo!! tears.......
Rip Glen and Jerry.
A simpler time, the grass was greener, the sky was bluer, the wind was warmer and the music was sweeter.
Try to remember ...
We had some great dreams.
Except this song dates back way further to Allen Touissant, probably the finest export of New Orleans.
Those were the days my friend…😊
The shorts were shorter
Jerry reed is the whole reason why we should play guitar. Pure joy
This is the best recording of this song, period.
Jerry Reed's picking just adds a ton of flavor to it and Cambell's adlib lyrics make it so much more fun. It's got some funk
The more love they put in the song the better it sounds! , You can hear and feel the love coming from every direction from this version!!!
My sentiments exactly
Hard to argue with that
please never take this video off.
We all need a Jerry Reed in our lives
Anyone wanna jump in the time machine and go back to this??!!☝️☝️ leaving in 10 minutes!!!👏👏👏👏😁😁😁
I'll chip in for ⛽😂
Hold it, I'm comin' with ya !!!

I am ready, let's go. 🛸

Best version of this song
Jerry Reed is one of the best guitarists AND entertainers of all time. You can tell he's having a blast, and that it's genuine. To see him and Glen Campbell, pickin and grinnin on a summer day on the lake, surrounded by a huge crowd... now that's my idea of heaven. Forgive me for sounding cliche, but it really doesn't get any better than this.
So right about the moment they were having there. Jerry Reed is about as pure as it gets also. His vibrant personality comes out no matter what he was doing. Makes goose bumps watching him entertain. He was of course a genius on the guitar.
I agree. Jerry Reed will go down in history as the most underrated musician, actor, and entertainer of all time. He's clearly a legendary guitarist and singer that too many may only know him as merely the Truck driver in Smokey and the Bandit.
2 of the best that ever played guitar
This is heaven!! The sound quality is amazing too for out side??..wow
Was this whole outdoor concert recorded and sold on an LP?? MAN, it sounds much better than inside studio LP's I have!!!
As a Brit (strong music tradition) I absolutely love listening to such talented American musicians. This style of music is just so happy, puts a smile on my face every time I hear it, no-one does it so well. Thank you Jerry, Glen and the USA, love from across the water

Too many great British musicians to list ; of course the Beatles, Led Zepplin, The Who, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, can't even name all of the great bands, too many to list!

@@erivers71 Much appreciated and yes, we love our entertainment industries, music and film. From Elgar to Adele, Kubrick to Hardy
Oh to be the person walking through the park and stumbling upon this!!!
That La-da-da-da-da hits sooo good. It reminds me of growing up in the 70's. Life was beautiful.
Currently, there are 156 individuals who will NEVER be happy, the thumbs down people! If this doesn't put a smile on your face, NOTHING WILL!
A favorite Glen Campbell song!
His voice was soaked in honey, baked gently then washed in champagne. Amazing.
Wtf that supposed to mean
@@wolfiedventures That he's a honeybaked ham, duh.
@@wolfiedventures It’s sm-ooooooooth
😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
I don't know if it was baked at all. It had that pressure cooker tenderness to it.
As an Englishman, just appreciating the best of American music by two of the best. God Bless them
To spend the evening, in a small and intimate setting, would just be the absolute best ever!!!
I'm so envious of the lucky bastards that got to see this class act . An Aussie
How do you ever get tired of this. I just wish they were all here and well.
teller121 amen to that
Uh, Yeah, me too. it's a damn shame they aren't here. These stars today could use some advice from them all.
They're all here, you probably just don't know it.
I hear you! We have lost so many of the BEST!

You can watch this and just see how great things, life and the feeling in general used to be in this country.

So true. 🎼❤️🎸
This NWO sucks. 👹😢
So tired of the lies. 🤬
As a African American I don't think I'm Supposed to love this song as much as I do....I feel it in my Soul😎🇲🇼
The song was composed by Louisiana pianist Allen Toussaint, reflecting back on fishing trips with his father, a Creole speaker. :)
Wendell , this song was written by a sweet man who used to live down the street from me, he was black....his name was Allen Toussaint...Youre in good company
Glen stole this song from a black man. This is a black song to the bone.
@@guncontrolisusingbothhands2331 hit #1 on 3 seperate charts
Great music often transcends race.One of the beautiful things about it.
Anyone who wears shorts and stripped socks for a public performance is a BAD ASS!!! So 80's!!! Great video!
Ricky Davis I agree and I love it ! Great times and music ! 👍😊💕
Don't F with Glenn.
I have to admit, part of me was "WTF, those shorts" and the other was "just go with it"
@chuck woolry, Me too!!! Blahaha!😅😂
that was back when shorts were shorts. Seems like they go to your knees now (and have for over 30 years). It's okay, I can still make my own cut off jeans. dgt
Jerry Reed wrote alot for many musicians ....❤🇨🇦🎶
Wish I could back in time to this place. This country really sucks right now.
Hello! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!....Stay safe
Two of the greatest. Diggin' the shirt too. Go Hogs!
oldies like this never fail to give this 82 yr. old lady a great feeling!
You were 38 when this song was released. I was 9.
I wish we could go back to 1977. I miss it.
You GO girl!!! Yeah!
we're so lucky. we're lucky this was recorded all those years ago, we're lucky it was uploaded 12 years ago, and we're damn lucky that these two once walked this earth and blessed us with their beautiful music for all time.
Our band plays this and I never knew Jerry was the reason for that lick. RIP Jerry and Glen. Two great guitarists!
Jerry Reed was a tremendous picker! Legendary. Glenn Campbell was on a whole different level than anyone. A member of the wrecking crew that was responsible for 100''s of the biggest hits off all time.
i would have payed anything to be at that BBQ listening to this great music .
tony keisling Me too ! 😊💕
😂😂same same
Jerry Reed, Glen Campbell one hell of Wrecking Crew. Rip.
paid…
Me also
Jerry and Glen are naturals. I really like the banjo in the back
One of my all-time country songs. Nothing better than Southern nights!
I have it in my repertoire. Performed it last night, at the Sausalito Yacht Club ..😁

Both Glen Campbell and Jerry Reed were amazing, but I just want to point out that this song was written by the immortal Allen Toussaint.
I am pretty sure that Allen Toussaint wrote Southern nights, and, just pointing out, most of Glen Campbell's hits were written by Jimmy Webb.

Those guys could do anything. RIP music men!
jerry reed was such a goof, that it's hard to fathom that he was one of the greatest guitarists in his time.
I think he was so self-deprecating that people missed just how good he really was. He could hang with *anybody* --Les Paul, Chet Atkins, you name it.
In anyone's time
Bless Allen Toussaint for writing this classic song. Glenn made a great choice covering it and this performance is so much fun to listen to and watch!
Two absolutely incredible guitarist that most rock guitarist would have a difficult time keeping up with.
Hello! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!....Stay safe
Glen's shorts really bring the song together.
Glen's joy and spirit and voice and energy are so free and easy and BEAUTIFUL....!!! God, this man was so alive and so in the zone! So gifted and so damned gorgeous....!!!! I can't stop crying from the beauty!!!
Which makes it sad that he was a wife beater and cut 3 of his 8 children from his second marriage out of his will.
I got to see Jerry Reed in a really small venue in the early 2000's It was awesome!
I wish I could buy a CD with only this song on it, played by these two people, over and over. It makes my heart bleed for where Glen is now. And Jerry's gone.
Laura Kirk ~ and best of all...He ain't gonna miss us.
Laura Kirk 2 of the best guitarists this world will ever know... and both vastly underrated IMHO....yes, I feel so sad about Glen and miss Jerry.... wooooo!! tears.......
I wish Jerry had got the true credit he deserved for Guitar Man; better than the Elvis version...
