I've watched this on...maybe...25 computers/phones over the last ten years? What a live performance, what a setting, what a night. RIP, Glenn and John. 🪕
boy do i miss times gone by. no matter times these to musicans probably did this song singular or together do you see the happiness, warm feeling, and joy on their faces, and when john hartford does his bit on the banjo, just for that brief second looks with his eyes in to glenn campbell as if to say , its your turn glenn sing it! thank you. drohegda
Well, it's going to be played at my funeral. One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Performed here by two masters. Just awesome. Nothing more to say.
I can't get enough of this song. I use to work on the Mississippi Queen steamboat shown at the very beginning of this video. John Hartford, who was very fond of steamboats, who come and visit. He played a few conerts for crew on the bow of the boat. A very fond memory.
Music has had such an amazing impact on my life that I could care less what the media thinks. Where this national treasure truly exist is in my memory as a child and as an adult. It will always be there and there is only one that can take that away. Thank you both for the memories.
Glen Campbell reminds me of a G.I. Joe doll or some other 1970's action figure with that testosterone laden hair and full beard. Killer voices and some serious picking going on here.......thanks for posting!
When national treasures like John Hartford and Bill Monroe pass the media doesn't even give them one second of recognition. But let some worthless trash rapper get shot and it's everywhere...even years after the fact. What a disgrace. They just don't make 'em like this anymore. Thanks for the everlasting music, John.
this version is really great! i like this song very much especially the lines "It's knowin' that your door is always open And your path is free to walk That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag Rolled up and stashed behind your couch..." a friend & I sang this song a capella nearly 20 years ago to another friend who left germany to move to LA. everytime i hear this song he's "walkin' on the back roads by the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind... ;-)
I searched for an hour on this song by all artists but didn't find a version as good as Glen and John's duet. Such a pity that they recorded this song together so many times on TV, but none of them eventually winds up on an album.
Yup, John was an amazing musician. I believe the most expensive production banjo ever sold for new was the 'John Hartford' model... A nice footnote of his greatness.
@Jeanniebelle420 Whether you like Elvis or not, what a hateful thing to say. I don't think it is in the spirit of what John Hartford was about as a musician or as a human being.By the way, Rolling Store ranked the album "From Elvis in Memphis" (which included Elvis' version of "Gentle On My Mind") as #190 of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
@bachfor "..isn't anyone's death worth something to you?" Obviously so, or I would not have made the comment. The press (AKA the media) is how most information is disseminated to the masses. What they cover and how they cover it is always important.
@Str8eningTheCurves. I don't know the circumstances of 'the' rapper's death but, isn't anyone's death worth something to you? Or, is it just the press's rendition of someone's disparition that is important to you?
@patrickschwemmer Update your Political Correctness Handbook folks. It is now racist to call a rapper a rapper and refer to their violent misogynistic music as trash.

Thank God for UA-cam, if not for UA-cam I wouldn't have found this.
This is one of the best things ever, it is so gentle on my mind...
So true ❤ .12 years watching this 💎 over and over
Two of the most talented men ever born.

Them boys can pick! Singing's not too bad either! The song is another level. Together it's beyond words!
One of the best songs ever written, I think it rightfully has a place as a big piece of the bedrock of Americana.

Incredible duet!

Wow! Great version of this great tune. I never realized what a fine flatpicker Glen Campbell is!
Always makes me feel good when I listen to this classic! God bless you boys!
Never seen this one.... Like they are on some porch in Mississippi.... Wow -- Love it.
Right on! This is great!! Thanks for posing!

Fabulous - best live version I've come across.
I love these guys!
this version is really great!
i like this song very much especially the lines
"It's knowin' that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch..."
a friend & I sang this song a capella
nearly 20 years ago to another friend
who left germany to move to LA.
everytime i hear this song he's
"walkin' on the back roads
by the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind...
;-)
That had to be an incredible moment in your life.I love going to Gruhn's. Always a treat.

A vision of Heaven.
I sure do miss John and hope Glen is well today.
Perfection. Remembering Glen Campbell. RIP...
Thanks John - Rest in Peace, Bro
Thank you..there isn't a version of this song I don't love, but this one is my favourite.
Great stuff ... John and Glen united by one of the great American songs.
very cool I still miss John what a talent
Reckon this is the best version of GomM. They play their respective instruments to perfection. Thanks for posting.
MAGIC THANK YOU
So beautiful .....! Love it
Two great musicians doing their thing.
Yup, John was an amazing musician. I believe the most expensive production banjo ever sold for new was the 'John Hartford' model... A nice footnote of his greatness.
"Magnifique" !!! - Merci les "Anciens" !!!
BRAVO thanks for sharing!
Holy moly, how good is that?
Brilliant!
What a match.
heavenly thought.
.... exhale.
I think I played that banjo at Gruhn Music! This is a badass version of Gentle on My Mind!
@Str8eningTheCurves John Hartford is dead? That makes me sad, I love this song, it's so multi layered and emotional.
amazing picking
WOW !!!
I got to play "Clarence" at a Marty Stuart show once. Surprisingly it wasn't the best playing guitar I've ever played. But it was still magic.
No JOKE!
these guys were pickers as well as good singer songwriters !!

John sings like Jorma kaukonen.anybody agree?
Hartford is so cute! Does anyone know what year this is?
@Str8eningTheCurves - boy, you said it.
Pickin' and a grinin'
glens picking at 259 shows great talent- its not easy to play that fast on an acoustic
LOL!!!

John is an awesome picker, but, Glen is a shredder!

@Str8eningTheCurves I don't think the racially charged comparison is necessary to appreciate this song.
