Jerry Reed & Glen Campbell performing one of my favorites - the "Guitar Man" Enjoy Remember i don't have the rights, just sorry i couldn't find it anywhere :)
You only say that because he never stole your wife, mom, or daughter. You were one of the lucky ones. Some of us have had several wives stolen by Jerry. Dang thing is he's so smooth we just keep him around anyhow. Watch your back is all.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 man he would. I've known a few people just like him and we need a few more. A big big man with an extra smile for you if you need one.
The year was 1973 and I was a long haired, pot smoking, die hard Rock n Roll fan. None of my friends could understand why I would "waste my money" on a pair of Jerry Reed tickets. I just smiled knowingly, ended up going alone and had a blast. Music is like the worlds greatest buffet. Don't be the guy who just eats the shrimp.
it's refreshing to see this kinda attitude instead of the usual "MUSIC THESE DAYS JUST DON'T COMPARE" blah blah nonsense you see in the comments on music from previous decades. I'm only 30 and I love this stuff and Jerry Reed, but I listen to more genres than I can keep track of, from so many points in time. Music now is often just as good as music then, too. There's just far more of it so you often have to dig for what you'll like.
Honestly, they may just be the greatest to ever pick a guitar. Name anyone who can play like that, on that level? They are insanely underrated and insanely great.
It's not like people don't still play like this, they do! the market expanded, not there are other tools. Nobody complained when les Paul multi tracked live... yu live in the past, and seem to not know where to look for Music anymore. Turn off your car radio, and Spotify, and do some work. We musicians still do and laugh at your kind of complaining ignorance of what is. You are both just whining.
Jerry lays down his guitar for his own song and lets Glen Campbell play with a humble dude and Glen Campbell has an amazing voice this video is just mind-boggling
From session players to super stars. A couple of talented country boys. What an impact they made on music. The world would be a much duller place without them.
As a Cab driver I had the Honor of picking this man up at his traveling bus in back of a night club. He was drunk as hell but his personality was the same as sober. Great. Face him a 70 mile ride and will say enjoyed every mile of his company
These are likely the two finest guitar players to ever live. To see them doing a Jerry Reed tune together makes this one of the most important and special moments in the history of the movement of air.
Jerry Reed was a prefomer at the highest level..he could play lights out ..he was funny ..and he could make a audiences just set and stare or have the time of their lives...truely was a Golden entertainer
This is awesome. Back when entertainment was pure and the whole Family could sit down and watch it. I dig these 2 Cats. Definitely missed. Rest in peace.
Well, it's a different world with a different music but now we have UA-cam and can dial up virtually any song that has ever been recorded or video'd, so enjoy!
ah, back when entertainers actually could play the hell out of an instrument. Reed was a monster really. But Chet had the chops too and a little more grounded technique. Glenn, Roy Clark... so many good players.
two amazing guitarists right there. pay close attention to those last few seconds where they're doing two lead breaks but Glen is doing high notes and Jerry is doing low notes and it all matches together every note, totally insane. awesome video thanks for sharing!
I have read the other comments and I agree. But when it comes to Glen Campbell, I agree he built the bridge from country to rock and roll, R&B, Pop and Soul. It was once seen as "Hicksville", but it is cherished music none the less.
How we got so lucky as to have both of these musical geniuses on this planet with us at the same time is beyond me. I can never stop listening to these two. Pure talent!
Put Roy Clark in there. I'm over 50 and was not paying attention to their fingers during there time. I was too young to understand. They were smiling entertainers telling stories and jokes while playing. UA-cam has been my blessing to see how great these players were.
I look back at my life and recall the music from the 1960's up until now and I realize how lucky I am to have experienced it all. The best thing about it is going back to all the songs and play them over and over .Thank you to everyone from the artist's to the Person that uploaded the music.
I'm even older. My high school days were the mid-fifties when a crossroad of several music genres all crossed in about 1955. Country crossover with Lefty Frizzel, Big Bopper, Ferlin Husky and many others. WW11 stuff was still around like the big bands, andrew sisters, mcqjuire sisters, and out of rythym & blues, howled Elvis, the king. Oh, I forgot to mention the original rock & roll band. Bill Haley and the Comets. Those were the days, my friends. Although the 70's brought a new revival of folk and rock that was probably just as good.
You can't teach what they do. Campbell one of the greatest guitarist of all time. And oh so versatile. And no one, I mean no One Son..can sing like Jerry Reed. He had an incredible way of talking at 90 mph through a song. A great video. Thanks.
Also a good actor and dancer. He was part of a '50's - 8 min song dance set Glenn Campbell Show where Jerry Glen Little Richard Dom DeLuise and David Cassidy jived with partners. Man can Jerry dance!!
was watching Smokey and the Bandit and started to wonder what Jerry Reed's music was like... DAMN i've been missing out this whole time. This man can pick with the best of 'em
I have to smile when I see some people posting comments about auto-tune and such. First, there weren't no such thing back then and second, they didn't need it! This was a world previous to recording trickery, you know, when talent reigned supreme.
This song on its own played by Reed and Campbell can cure most mental health problems. They are nuclear together, so good I won’t even try to explain it, that good.
Love to listen to both of these guys but Glen Campbell was an influence to me as a youngster and love his music and his style was awesome. Thank you Mr. Campbell for all you did for crossing over country and pop music. You are a legend Sir.
I still remember the radio announcement that Jerry Reed was gone. Still get a little misty eyed whenever I hear any of his work on the classic country channels.
Unreal - they make such a complex song, both guitar-wise and vocally, look and SOUND SO EASY.. rest in peace, gentlemen, and thank you for all the great music and fun times.
Something I love more than music is when it's so obvious that the musicians are absolutely LOVING what they do and you can tell they're having a great time :)
This right here.....is absolutely timeless.....you break this out in just about any crowd.....and people going to get into it.....awesome skills from two of the best of friends.....
Gerald Reed! A True American Treasure! Never really got the full recognition that he rightfully deserved, Never in the spotlight always under the Radar, But he would have wanted it that way! Extraordinary talent RIP The Golden Claw
Two of the very finest musicians in country music. RIP gentlemen - I bet Glen is tuning up his guitar and getting ready to duel Jerry at the Pearly Gates.
Only ONE WORD : F A B U L O U S really the best there is son... nothing better man !!!!!!!!!!! Put on this song by these two great 6x.....can't get enough of these virtuosos....No wonder Elvis ASKED Jerry & Glen to come and record with him....G Man & Viva Las Vegas
I'm 53 yrs old now & have lived in Mobile Alabama since birth. I can remember going to Big Jack's Seafood & Grill Restaurant on the Causeway here in Mobile to eat seafood on the weekends with my mom & dad when I was around 9 or 10 yrs old back in the 70s before Hurricane Frederick came thru in 1979 & destroyed all the restaurants on the Causeway here in Mobile. That was a great seafood restaurant & I remember all the live music & yes...Jerry Reed would come there & play from time to time, my mom & dad have talked about all the bands & singers that would come there. Much love from Mobile Alabama.
I don't care who you are, watching Jerry Reed play should put a smile on your face.
Every time man, every time!
You only say that because he never stole your wife, mom, or daughter. You were one of the lucky ones. Some of us have had several wives stolen by Jerry. Dang thing is he's so smooth we just keep him around anyhow. Watch your back is all.
He'd put his arm around the whole world if his sleeve was longer.

Jerry Reed, Glen Campbell, Chet Akins, and Roy Clark. Some of the finest, talented, entertaining guitar guys to ever vibrate a string.
Honestly, they may just be the greatest to ever pick a guitar.
Name anyone who can play like that, on that level?
They are insanely underrated and insanely great.
Dont forget good ol Luther Perkins and Waylon!
Elijah Fisher Or Bob Wooton, Marty Stuart,Roy Nichols, James Burton
Depends on what you're looking for, are you looking for guitar calisthenics, or are you looking for something different...
And Luther Perkins and Carl Perkins
You just can't help but smile when Jerry Reed is performing
Only one man could run with Glen Campbell and that was Jerry Reed. What an absolute gem this is. Wow. Wow. Wow.. ❤❤❤❤😮😮😮❤❤❤
No doubt. I think JR is the only guy who intimidated GC on the axe.
Real AX men
@@mikegilbert2500 The great Chet Atkins also
Roy Clark
Ain't that the truth I could not have said it better myself
No auto-tune, loops, lip synching...nothing but the pinnacle of talent in their musicianship with top tier showmanship live and on stage.
Amen to that. 🥰
It's not like people don't still play like this, they do! the market expanded, not there are other tools. Nobody complained when les Paul multi tracked live... yu live in the past, and seem to not know where to look for Music anymore. Turn off your car radio, and Spotify, and do some work.

FEEL! Real feel. Electronics don’t allow for it.
@@robbiet8583❤
another no "autotune" fool
Outstanding......singing those tongue twisting lyrics while playing the guitar......two of the best......may they both RIP.
How could anyone have a bad day with Jerry Reed??
Jerry Reed has so much personality that even if he wasn't a musician he would be famous for something else I bet.
LONG LIVE THE SNOWMAN, we got us a convoy!
@@1Igster1 yes Reed was the snowman
He loved his nose candy
Big time coke head
@@lendrury2771 pretty sure he and Roy Clarke used the coca to their advantage,those hands can move.
Smokey and the Bandit, for one.
I will never, never, never, never, never, never ever get tired of this. NOT EVER!
Classic example of “ the best person to actually play this great song, is the person who wrote it “
Jerry Reed
Massive talent ❤
Sadly, we will never see a time like this again with this level of talent. But at least we have their records and videos.
Nine years later, your comment still stands. If anything it's truer now.
Jerry lays down his guitar for his own song and lets Glen Campbell play with a humble dude and Glen Campbell has an amazing voice this video is just mind-boggling
Don't be stupid.
.. ONLY if you PAY AND AGREE TO THEIR "TERMS"!
Billy strings is about as close as we’re gonna get
From session players to super stars. A couple of talented country boys. What an impact they made on music. The world would be a much duller place without them.
As a Cab driver I had the Honor of picking this man up at his traveling bus in back of a night club. He was drunk as hell but his personality was the same as sober. Great. Face him a 70 mile ride and will say enjoyed every mile of his company
Where is the time machine to go back to the era I belong????
2024! Still here! We Love you Jerry!
Glen's playing was nothing short of AMAZING 💯❤️
Never saw Jerry Reed when he wasn’t having a great time
You don’t even need to see it, you can hear it in his records too, he’s having a good time.. so good!!
I have.
When The Waterboy started breaking records.
Not many can hold a candle to Glen Cambell's guitar playing but Jerry was sure one of them.
Yeah those two were diamond level players.
deemdoubleu ....well said .....
yea he was kickin some ass for a bit
Glen Campbell....
I'd have reversed the phrase, but yes, both immensely talented players. Jerry, Chet, Merle and Roy are the best of the time
These are likely the two finest guitar players to ever live. To see them doing a Jerry Reed tune together makes this one of the most important and special moments in the history of the movement of air.
You left out Roy Clark.
Grant Green? Wes? etc.
Both of these men are human legends for all eternity. God bless you Jerry and Glen.
No doubt
This is my favorite Jerry Reed song and this version is with Glen Campbell! You can't get better than this.
I bet you’re a returning viewer too! This version is just too good to be true, cant’t get enough!
Two of the best. What a privilege to see them working together.
Jerry Reed was a prefomer at the highest level..he could play lights out ..he was funny ..and he could make a audiences just set and stare or have the time of their lives...truely was a Golden entertainer
This is awesome. Back when entertainment was pure and the whole Family could sit down and watch it. I dig these 2 Cats. Definitely missed. Rest in peace.
I hate new country, This is the country music I miss and will never see/hear again.
Well, it's a different world with a different music but now we have UA-cam and can dial up virtually any song that has ever been recorded or video'd, so enjoy!
AMEN!
Can you beleive it, Jerry, Glen, Elvis and Burt Reynolds are all gone.
Glenn was one of Jerry's VERY FEW equals back in those days. I miss them both every day.
Two superior guitarists. They always praise rock guitarists but these country boys hold their own with anybody !
ah, back when entertainers actually could play the hell out of an instrument. Reed was a monster really. But Chet had the chops too and a little more grounded technique. Glenn, Roy Clark... so many good players.
Jerry had a unique style, tuning etc
I was gonna give you a thumbs up, but I couldn't screw the current 42 up...
rip to all 3
Jerry was the king of the finger pickers. Even Chet said Jerry could outplay him.
Chet can play that guitar !!
two amazing guitarists right there. pay close attention to those last few seconds where they're doing two lead breaks but Glen is doing high notes and Jerry is doing low notes and it all matches together every note, totally insane. awesome video thanks for sharing!
Jerry gave me the impression of a very kind and gracious individual in this clip....
Absolutely!
Jerry Reed was a very underrated Guitar Player.
I have read the other comments and I agree. But when it comes to Glen Campbell, I agree he built the bridge from country to rock and roll, R&B, Pop and Soul. It was once seen as "Hicksville", but it is cherished music none the less.
no matter your preferred music genre, theres no denying that you are listening to something really special
Two of the greatest guitarists that ever lived!
Two genius guitarist of any era.You just can"t make this up.
two of the best, listening to them for over 50 years .... and i'm a rock and roll guy ...
Two of the greatest pickers that ever lived. Heaven must be Rockin'~!!!
How we got so lucky as to have both of these musical geniuses on this planet with us at the same time is beyond me. I can never stop listening to these two. Pure talent!
Fred Herrman our generation was blessed.
Put Roy Clark in there. I'm over 50 and was not paying attention to their fingers during there time. I was too young to understand. They were smiling entertainers telling stories and jokes while playing. UA-cam has been my blessing to see how great these players were.
The Snowman & the incredible Glen Campbell (what a combo)
You got your ears on? Snowman
Smokey and the Bandit & True Grit - two classics
I believe Glen was snortin' some show at this show.
That almost makes sense.
@@brianmccall452 think he meant snow at show
I love Jerry Reed. 😘 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There. Will. Never. Be. Another. Jerry. Reed. Or. Glen. Campbell.
Got to see Glen & Jerry in concert
in Fort Worth 1970
These 2 are great. 😄❤️

I've often thought that myself in fact very often
Absolutely!
Glen and Jerry are simply too good to comment on!
R.I.P. Glen Campbell. Right now he and Jerry are havin' one helluva jam session in heaven
You can't teach what they do. Campbell one of the greatest guitarist of all time. And oh so versatile. And no one, I mean no One Son..can sing like Jerry Reed. He had an incredible way of talking at 90 mph through a song. A great video. Thanks.
Jerry Reed was so talented as guitarist but also as singer.
Maurizio De Caro n
understatement of the century
Also a good actor and dancer. He was part of a '50's - 8 min song dance set Glenn Campbell Show where Jerry Glen Little Richard Dom DeLuise and David Cassidy jived with partners. Man can Jerry dance!!
He was no slouch at song writing either - Guitar Man, U.S Male, A Thing Called Love and the humorous She Got the Goldmine ( I got the shaft ).
The best country rapper ever.
was watching Smokey and the Bandit and started to wonder what Jerry Reed's music was like... DAMN i've been missing out this whole time. This man can pick with the best of 'em
Ole Jerry Reed reminds me of my grandpa. Looked like him, and talked like him. Even born in the same generation. RIP to both of them
I could see Jerry Reed as Colt Sever in that Unknown Stuntman show!
The Fall Guy
I hope (but don't think) this level of greatness will ever be achieved after the year 2000...
You’d almost think Glen is playing catch up the whole time until he breaks into the last solo…amazing
Glen was one of the best guitar players of all time. Cheers
I have to smile when I see some people posting comments about auto-tune and such. First, there weren't no such thing back then and second, they didn't need it! This was a world previous to recording trickery, you know, when talent reigned supreme.
IT DON'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THIS !!!!!
These two guys were so incredible in their own right. Playing together they are awe inspiring!
Two of the greatest guitar players ever.
Two bad ass guitar pickers right yonder! RIP to two classic entertainers!
Two great guitar legends...Jerry Reed & Glenn Campbell. ..they were AWESOME.
That is some massive talent and never fails to put a smile on my face.
Don't know if there will ever be another like them... Just.. legendary.
Two guitar geniuses having a blast!
It breaks my heart where Glen is now, and that Jerry is gone. This duet of Southern Nights is the best I ever heard.
This song on its own played by Reed and Campbell can cure most mental health problems. They are nuclear together, so good I won’t even try to explain it, that good.
Love to listen to both of these guys but Glen Campbell was an influence to me as a youngster and love his music and his style was awesome. Thank you Mr. Campbell for all you did for crossing over country and pop music. You are a legend Sir.
Every time I discover more Jerry Reed on YT ...he just blows my mind...EFFORTLESS!!!!
I still remember the radio announcement that Jerry Reed was gone. Still get a little misty eyed whenever I hear any of his work on the classic country channels.
Right, he became so much better known for his acting roles that his music career kinda got lost in the process
Unreal - they make such a complex song, both guitar-wise and vocally, look and SOUND SO EASY.. rest in peace, gentlemen, and thank you for all the great music and fun times.
Jerry Reed is the king of country rock and roll funk. Love his voice and playing. Very soulful
Something I love more than music is when it's so obvious that the musicians are absolutely LOVING what they do and you can tell they're having a great time :)
This right here.....is absolutely timeless.....you break this out in just about any crowd.....and people going to get into it.....awesome skills from two of the best of friends.....
Had a chance to see Jerry Reed in the early 2000s in northeast Missouri at a regional fair. Didn’t go. Even the greats don’t live forever.
Jerry kicks ass !!! He had so much rhythm and soul.
Gerald Reed! A True American Treasure! Never really got the full recognition that he rightfully deserved, Never in the spotlight always under the Radar, But he would have wanted it that way! Extraordinary talent RIP The Golden Claw
I could listen to these two trade licks all day. Jerry a CGP and Glen could be in the conversation. Amazing players.
Damn I'm glad to have been alive during this great musical time in history
I think this is the most upbeat version I've ever heard of this song.
2 of my favorites. Stars of Nashville, recording, stage, screen and TV. What a gem of a performance. Show 'em son!
Ain't this just absolutely the best music ever
Love this song! These two guys could really play guitar! Too much fun!
OMG... every Heavy Metal player should hear this. These guys more than pick.
Jerry Reed was one of my favorites.
So much guitar talent between these two!! So good. 😲👌
Holy cow! Could these guys bring it or what! Nothing these days even compares to this...
RIP Jerry Reed and now, one of my all-time favorite artists, Glen Campbell. :(
Talent of which is not even comparable today. We are so lucky to have been alive when these people were.
Two Greats showing everybody how it's done...
Both are gone and never will there be their like again!
WBM/Music proud !ary
Every time I pass the Y.M.C.A here in downtown Memphis I think of this song I swear on a stack of bible's it's true R.I.✌️Mr. Jerry Reed 🎸
Two of the very finest musicians in country music. RIP gentlemen - I bet Glen is tuning up his guitar and getting ready to duel Jerry at the Pearly Gates.
Holy moly. Two of the best right here.
Jerry was one of the coolest guys country music has ever seen. And Glenn, what can I say.
I just realized that both these good folks are gone... very sad. They were great musicians in their style.
Glen is still alive but in late stages of Alzheimers.
Only ONE WORD :
F A B U L O U S really the best there is son... nothing better man !!!!!!!!!!!
Put on this song by these two great 6x.....can't get enough of these virtuosos....No wonder Elvis ASKED Jerry & Glen to come and record with him....G Man & Viva Las Vegas

You have to love Jerry Reed.Just a talented warm and generous man.
Amazing duo. Sit back and prepare to be entertained.
