Sometimes being really tired can make you grumpy, or really slow you down.. This clip is from a Phil Keaggy solo concert he performed on Aug 16, 1991 at Cranberry High School in Cranberry, Pa. Even though he was jet-lagged, Phil played over two and half hours of stellar guitar. His vocals were just as amazing.. This is from about the two hour mark of the show and I personally think Phil was getting a bit "giddy" and was in an "anything goes" mood. Starting with the fun from the audience, his audience requests set list and his alternate tuning, TIME went into some unusual territory. At this time, BEYOND NATURE had just been released and Phil was using primitive looping (compared to set up these days). This version has it all! Scat vocals, blues licks, singing into the sound hole of his guitar and more.. a nice stereo mix to enjoy! Crank it up!!!

I've seen PK twice; first at Creation 80 festival, where he knocked me out with his looped version of Amazing Grace. I saw him 15 years later in a large church hall where he was just by himself. During one of his songs, a little 3 year old girl got loose from her mom and ran towards the stage where there was a ramp that led to the front. Phil stopped mid-song, got down on one knee and welcomed her into his arms. He spent 5-6 minutes chatting with her and letting her play his guitar, and then sent her back to him mom, who was mortified. He did not go back to the song he was playing before, but switched over to his song "LIttle Ones", and intro'd the song by saying this beautiful child was an example of God's creation. THAT's what I think of when I listen to Phil play. The dude is genuine.

We saw him about 10 years ago in a small store front church in Hot Springs, Arkansas. After the show almost everyone from the crowd was standing around chatting among themselves when I noticed Phil had some out into the audience area and was just standing there. My wife and I went over and he chatted with us for about 10 minutes. You are so right. Very humble, genuine guy. And a phenomenal guitarist. And I was also at Creation 80.

Thank you Phil...., thank you Jesus for such a talent given to bless and honor your Name through generations.

Playing his Olson Guitar, he was traveling around the county in 91 and 92 giving solo acoustic performances just like this one. Accompanyied by his Jamman looper he would lay tracks down and jam over his own tracks all live. The Jamman had a feature that goes into conitnuous record mode but fades out after a small amount of time. That's how he was actual able to change the tracks so slighty, notice when he's in loop mode he must remain modal to that key. Not a problem for Phil.

Then every chance I got through college and into adulthood, I have watched him play in different places. Class act, world class guitarist and a man who points to the truth of Christ unashamedly. Rock on Phil. I use to be able to duplicate some your music while back in college with my friend I played with, at least the strumming parts, but your leads just blow me away and I am still amazed even though I am not sitting in the front row at Harvest Church in Riverside California watching you play. Blessings to you.

Time is one of my all time favs of Phil and I have been a fan since 1976. Everything that's been said of him is true and consistent of Phil's life. Since I also play guitar (but sure not as good as Phil), he is my main guitar 'god'. Otherwise, Jesus is my real God to be sure. I love listening to Phil and have a nice collection of his music. It never tires me out. I pray that God continues to bless our brother in all he does,

Some enjoy his acoustic work more than the electric. He's playing his Olson guitar which just sounds great, and helped Olson guitars get onto the map. James Taylor played Olson guitars too. Playing solo like this is not done by a lot of guitarists, but he has no problem filling in gaps. I think he really enjoyed doing acoustic concerts as they were always so much fun. The looping machines of the day only had about 8 seconds max, so he would record short phases and allow them to fade out, constantly overdubbing as he played. Today looping machines record 4 to 10 minutes...

I saw Phil Keaggy back in the early 90s in a very intimate setting and as He was starting a song he was tooling around and my friend thought he was lost and started singing out some of the words and just like in the beginning of this clip Phil doesn’t seem to have a lot of patients but I guess when you’re a great guitar player singer songwriter maybe you don’t need it oh wait no I’m wrong … Christian’s are supposed to be extra patient 😇 Phil keep seeking Jesus but please be kind ! (Because I know for myself I need a lot more patience praise God HE has promised to the Spirit and give us that patient that we need). ♥️♥️♥️

From what I hear, I think it was the digital delay.. It didn't seem anything was "locked in", but rather just faded out as new layers were added. The stereo feed is really cool on this one! It is ALWAYS a fun night when Phil is having a good time with the audience.. He is so personable and it becomes a group of friends sitting in a living room (a big one) having an intimate time..

He attempted to the 'Time' riff in cut time, then backed off and gave it the swing feel he plays here. It was amazing; I've wondered if he realized how good he was that night...

I do not have to disconnect my mind in order to have faith. Christianity is an intelligent faith, honestly. There is hope for you! :)
