Whilst doing some wine youtoobing I came across this brilliant Glen Campbell on 23:35 - Mar 6 by grecko
Fab, never sin that, and you were there! Super cool
It was a blast Greks, we were in one of the royal box jobs, we had to share it with a few squares who we didn't know but it didn't put us off. Me and the Mrs, brilliant times!!
We had no idea Bowie was going to come on, I think he may have only came on that night of the tour. Two of Crosby Stiils and Nash were also there but I don't know which two because they confuse me, unfortunately Young had better things to do.

I think, from the brief glimpses, that Jimmy Webb is on piano there too. Webb had a very successful partnership with Glen Campbell but they didn't always see eye to eye on things, friends nevertheless. I saw Jimmy Webb do a solo show at The Junction in Cambridge a few years back and his frail vocal talent needed frequent rests so he filled in with showbiz tales between songs. Few people could mention Sinatra, Glen Campbell, Linda Ronstadt and so o without it seeming like name dropping but for Webb it was just explaining songs and matching them to people's character.
His greatest friendship was with Richard Harris, for whom 'MacArthur Park' is most associated, and the affection for someone no longer with us was very clear. But the songs stand on their own and this version by Glen Campbell is, as you say, sensational and sufficiently different. So to complement that can I post a song most associated with Glen Campbell but given a very different treatment:

Brilliant stuff
Edit - I confess I had to fast forward it a bit!!!

This one is quite cool - but you need to watch it to the end.
Unfortunately I wasn't there but I was there the day before or after and it was cr4p. Neil Young is a difficult sod, if he's not in the mood you may as well go home.

I'm still toobing Vapes, I was going to watch Masterchef a few hours ago!
Just stumbled on this again, I believe it was Bowies last stage performance, definitely in the UK anyway.
I was there - at The Albert Hall - in a box - on the gear - with my own table - Rock an Roll Baby!
That’s off the scale good. I have never yet seen the Floyd. It’s a gap in the records.
The RAH is an odd venue. I’ve organised a couple of events there. It’s an amazing place when it’s empty. The sitting down thing isn’t quite right though. I saw orbital there, absolutely bamboozled, and was made to keep sitting down by some fella. Gave up on dancing and tried to pull the girl I was sat next to. Failed miserably.
My old boy loved MacArthur park. And glen campbell. He’d have loved that.

This sitting down thing is a curse of the young liberals. Just off the top of my head while I'm pissed and typing.
. I saw someone told to sit down at a Squeeze concert a few months ago, apparently you can't dance until the encore. . I had to leave the arena at The Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam watching The ELO because I was standing (dancing). Ended up dancing on the stair things leading up to the arena. . Got physically thrown out of a Roger Waters concert three or four year ago for consistent dancing.
Madness. Not sure about you but if it's playing - I'm dancing.

Suppose it depends on how you define dancin, seen to many fat blokes waving their beers in the air, having a good time without a thought to how it be impacting other folk..

I got pilled up at orbital and I’d gone on my own. Three failed attempts to jump the barrier from non standing to standing, I decided I’d play the game and tried chatting up the girl next to me.

Got short shrift there too.
Some nights you have it, some you don’t.
Concert bad times
Fell over a wire fence in the grounds of Ipswich hospital whilst running for a bus to get into town to watch Madness circa 1981 - My back has never recovered.
Bowie 1990(?) We don't speak about this to this day.
Purple Hearts - see Bossbeard
There was another one I thought straight off while I was typing but I've forgotten it.

No, sorry, Docklands
Ah yes.
I saw Gilmours Floyd at The Docklands - around 1989????
It wasn't that great - although you could still smoke a joint in the seats then.
Momentary Lapse of Reason! My mate couldn't handle the second tab and went a bit stupid, I had to wait outside with him to cool out and all this time they came on for the second set and played "One of these Days" which is my fave and I missed it!!!!

I don’t have many of those.
A mate had a bad trip at Glastonbury early 90s think the orb were on, missed the stereo mcs as a result, which was the whole point of being in that particular field. She was so battered that she was intent on finding police officers.
