Glen Campbell Performs 'Wichita Lineman' on Austin City Limits

Venue: The Moody Theater Location: Austin, TX, United States Date: August 1, 1985

In August 1985, Glen Campbell performed on "Austin City Limits," showcasing his iconic hit "Wichita Lineman." This live recording took place shortly after the release of his album "No More Night," which debuted in 1986. This period marked a significant phase in Campbell's career as he was transitioning from the peak of his fame in the 1970s and early 1980s into a later stage where he continued to perform and record, even as he faced personal challenges. Notably, the performance is especially memorable as it was his only appearance on "Austin City Limits." Campbell's robust career as a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and television host made him a beloved figure in country music, and his heartfelt rendition of "Wichita Lineman" during this performance remains a testament to his enduring legacy.
