Keaggy was and is just flat-out amazing. Praise God for his life, ministry and heart.

I first saw Phil in 1971 playing an outdoor concert in Cincinnati, OH while attending University of Cincinnati. As a non-christian guitarist at the time, I thought, WOW, who IS this guy. I got saved that summer, got together with 2 members of my original band (who also had gotten saved) and we found a Christian drummer. In 1974 we came to CA to fellowhship at Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa and to play our original Christian music. We had just recorded our first LP. The name of our group was Grace.

My older brother gave me a copy of "Ph'lip Side", and Kerry Livgren's"Seeds" album for Christmas in1980. I was recently saved, and struggling with depression, and heavily entrenched in secular heavy metal music. Both recordings were a tremendous encouragement to me, and helped me to begin more consistently listen to godly music for inspiration and edification. I'm a die-hard fan of Keaggy's music to this day, and own over 35 of his 51-plus albums on CD, When it comes to the guitar, he's #1!

Excellent AOR music with great progressions. And the Christian message remains relevant today.

I had the privilege to watch two of his concerts in NY in the early 90's. I have good memories of this song, too. He's the best eletric guitar player Í've ever seen.

Amazing song. Phil is definitely the best guitarist in the world. Glory to God. Thanks for posting! :-)

Phil is incredible! I love his guitar playing!

The soundtrack of my teen years.

One of my five favorite Keaggy songs, cool to see this!

there is no better guitarist

Always a high point in my opinion. So rich. So musically and lyrically deep. Skilful, wonderful.

This man is awsome on the guitar!

@bemoguy remember, you will always find hope and a reason to live in Jesus Christ.

Just think if Phil was a main stream rock guitarist.......he would have been rated as one of the best ever.

a prophetic song

é uma das melhores musicas do Phil!

these ex-counterculture folks are more relevant today than they were back then.

Excellent video, thanks for posting, much appreciated. In my life, the best overall musician/songwriter/performer/recording artist I've encountered ever, is the Phenomenal Phil Keaggy. New Sub : )

is good i saw 3 times i also took a picture wiht him over here in boston ma

As Christians, do we still believe there is such a thing as right and wrong?

Odd that he'd be using a mic of that type without any windscreen close-miking that way. This is what Keaggy does best--his full-blown LesPaul tone. Love it.

Wow! I really like this song! I just wish that the video had a higher-quality sound behind it...

Man....I was really hoping to see him doing the ebow part at the top of this tune...anyway, thanks for sharing! This is one of my fave Phil records!

personalyI l ike this musical period,maybe,PK may be thinking different but, I can hear lots musical influencias at this time of his carear. But at the end he is the GTR master.I have borrowed some tricks from this amacing humanbeing.I love gtr.s but,Phil is so special. love you guys!!!

I wish, don't know if that will ever happen though... lets hope so

@snowtraveler65 you are correct! I never noticed the year wasn't right. The video was recorded in 1981 (according to several different sources), but yes, the actual Ph'lip Side album was in 1980. Correction made, thank you!

Awesome.The video however is fuzzy.And the audio seems to echo.I for one would pay good money just to see this performance on dvd IF it was clean and devoid of space noise. Would someone please put this video and Time video together.I will be the first in line to buy.

@inthemood1939 do you mean there is actually a better version of this.man he sure can play the stuffing out of that guitar.

There is no better version of this. The album version doesn't do this live version justice.

Phil released this on his own album (not with Glass Harp) - I think it was Play Thru Me, but I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm remebering wrong... :)

I bought emerging cd online. Just type in on google. Go to Ebay first. Good luck!
