Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Classical Gas" is an instrumental musical piece composed and originally performed by American guitarist Mason Williams with instrumental backing by members of the Wrecking Crew. Originally released in 1968 on the album The Mason Williams Phonograph Record, it has been rerecorded and rereleased numerous times since by Williams. One later version served as the title track of a 1987 album by Williams and the band Mannheim Steamroller.
The song peaked at number two for two weeks in August that year, behind "Hello, I Love You" by The Doors. On the US Easy Listening chart, it went to number one for three weeks.
In the mid-to-late 1970s and early 1980s Williams' version of "Classical Gas" was used by television stations across the United States as their opening news themes. News music company Telesound followed with an identically-named and quicker-tempo version of the song for television stations to use.

One of the greatest intrumentals to ever have come out of the 1960's or any decade for that matter. This was originally aired on The Smothers Brothers tv show, where Mason was one of the writers for that show. The Mannheim Steamroller album is a must-have for any Mason Williams fan, though the remake of Classical Gas lacks the power punch this original performance had. Mason by the Mason Williams Orchestra, with Mason Williams on percussion, Mason WIlliams on Horns, Mason Williams on strings, Mason Williams

No one, I mean absolutely no one has ever been able to play this as well as him, the composer.

It's so hard to believe that he was a comedy writer for The Smothers Brothers, but this tune is timeless, ageless, brings back so many memories,

This man singlehandedly turned hundreds of 'Peter, Paul and Mary fingerpickers' into students of the classical guitar, myself included!

So cool..always loved this performance, I think from the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour? Mason worked on that show as part of the crew or writing I believe

Wow! I remember this one. I believe I had the mono 45 RPM back in the day. Excellent choice, Sammy! Great job on this one!

Wild.
I'm assuming he's playing over the recorded version, given the unusual orchestral backing.
