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!
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.
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 : )
Amen and Amen. Got to experience the PKP in Atlanta in the early 80's. Thanks WAEC AM radio for the show. Stonehill and Phil and his band with a few other groups made for a small taste of heaven. At least for me. His solo would last for 30 minutes and it was better than a roller coaster ride. To then melt away into Peace on his acoustic guitar. Priceless 😉
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.
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!!!
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.
@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!
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... :)
Guys is not an offence What I Said so, I do Have it and I Love this vhs video from beginning to the end but if you could Watch me transfered Video I Asure you then you will agree me,I am Not kidding,I Do have one more stuff video from PK That doesn't Reflect here on youtube,I am doing A job to see if I can set this full Vhs video more two one song video and I Will always do AND I will be there
This guy is the best guitarist of all time! I even heard that this is Jimmy Page best Guitarist.Also Jimmy Hendrix. I don't know. I just know He is a Christian and He has 50 albums

Excellent AOR music with great progressions. And the Christian message remains relevant today.
Amazing song. Phil is definitely the best guitarist in the world. Glory to God. Thanks for posting! :-)

Keaggy was and is just flat-out amazing. Praise God for his life, ministry and heart.
Always a high point in my opinion. So rich. So musically and lyrically deep. Skilful, wonderful.
Just think if Phil was a main stream rock guitarist.......he would have been rated as one of the best ever.
Phil is incredible! I love his guitar playing!

This man is awsome on the guitar!
there is no better guitarist
The soundtrack of my teen years.
One of my five favorite Keaggy songs, cool to see this!
@bemoguy remember, you will always find hope and a reason to live in Jesus Christ.
Wow! I really like this song! I just wish that the video had a higher-quality sound behind it...
a prophetic song

these ex-counterculture folks are more relevant today than they were back then.
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!
é uma das melhores musicas do Phil!
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?

I wish, don't know if that will ever happen though... lets hope so
@inthemood1939 do you mean there is actually a better version of this.man he sure can play the stuffing out of that guitar.
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... :)
There is no better version of this. The album version doesn't do this live version justice.
Have you a standard to live by???
