Glen Campbell's 1972 version of "Classical Gas" (2018 Remaster) from a 1968 show!
The writer: Mason Williams (birthday this month Aug. 24th, 1938). The player: Glen Campbell (who passed away 5 years ago this month Aug. 8th, 2017).
Originally posted around this time in 2018 on the original Classic Glen Campbell Facebook Page & this was the way the video was described: 3000 Years of Fine Art In 3 Minutes! From 1968 with Glen's 1972 version of "Classical Gas" ( Remastered July 2018 for the 50th Anniversary of this Instrumental ) 54 years ago this week in 1968 "Classical Gas", one of The Top 100 Instrumentals of the Rock Era*, moved to #1 on the Easy Listening chart. HERE, I have REMOVED Mason Williams original version from this Promo-reel from the Official "Phoenix Rising - Glen Campbell Archives" video vaults & ADDED a NEWLY REMASTERED Version of Glen Campbell's 1972 studio recording. Glen showcased the Mason Williams song both as host of "The Summer Brothers Smothers Show" & "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour". Mason, as many may not know was a WRITER on BOTH shows! Glen of course would do his own versions of "Classical Gas" over the years giving Mason full credit of course, which shows true class.

Let it be known, that this video channel is a rebuilding project of the original "Diamond's In The Rough" video channel that was mistakenly taken down shortly after Glen Campbell's death. It was the Master Vaults for more than 500 Glen Campbell related videos from promo videos to specials to show-clips to interviews to commercials. We had over 10,000 subscribers in Aug. 2017. 75% of ALL Glen-related videos on You-Tube came from "Diamond's In The Rough" FIRST. In the aftermath of losing the channel many of our videos were uploaded through other sources whether from other's private collections to frankly ours being copied before from our old channel. We never watermarked most of the videos back then, (only a few near the end as it was new) but in today's world it seems we have to...So the rebuilding process has been slow & steady with the new "Diamond Mine" logo through the Phoenix Rising You-Tube channel & we'll eventually get most of them back (& in BETTER QUALITY than before in most cases)...but there's always gonna be those videos that were put up by others in the wake of the fall of "Diamonds In The Rough", most we've just shelved as there's no point unless our quality is much better or we have a different edit. But the point is and its known by the ones who were there in the beginning almost a decade ago & had our videos up FIRST.
