Phil Keaggy was already this good then. Now he has another fifty years under his belt. Just phenomenal!
Phil Keaggy is a tremendous guitar player as is Townsend, Page, Hendrix, Kath, and McLaughlin. They each have their own style. I really like Keaggy over most simply because not only is he a phenomenal electric player, but he's one of the best acoustic players I've heard. There aren't to many who can really brag about that. Also Keaggy is not flashy, but he gets some otherworldly tones out of his guitar, and was a pioneer in the use of looper effects, and the ebow. lastly, he has 9 fingers.
I used to see these guys with James Gang at JB,s Water street downtown Kent, Ohio. They used to play at my high school as well.
Ditto! Those were phenomenal times! Perhaps a little bit later, Left End rocked the area too.
I wonder why Phil never became more famous. He was miles ahead of Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Blackmore, ect. Edward VH was one of the only other guys around this time who had this kind of technique as heard on the 1973 Cherokee Demo that I've heard. The masses might not think Phil is in the top ten greatest, but I would say he is.
Can't forget Terry Kath from Chicago. He also got high praise from Hendrix.
WOW.........just WOW.........Phil was a master guitarists as a young man..........that’s some of the best guitar work i have ever heard
Growing up near Youngstown, I had always heard a rumor that Keaggy was in a contest in L.A. and was voted the greatest guitarist, beating out the likes of Hendricks & Clapton. I accidentally met him at a turnpike rest stop when I was a teenager, he and another guy were playing Frisbee in the parking lot and he came up to me talking about Jesus. I asked him point blank if the L.A. ever happened, he said "no."
I used to listen to Glass Harp at JB's in Kent back in the day. Met Phil one day at Summit Mall back in '73 and talked to him for a half hour or so about his music and what made changes in his life and music. Really a good guy.
The drummer is a boss...writing, singing, playing the hell out of those skins.
His singing isn't great but he still wrote a kick ass song and if it wasn't for him Phil Keaggy wouldn't have performed his amazing solo.
I followed Glass Harp as much as possible back in the days. Phils playing was an amazing experience. All those sounds he created with just his fingers, some reverb, and his use of the volume knobs on the Paul were amazing. I always thought they were destined for greatness. To watch Phil smiling while playing those riffs just proved how humble he was. I only talked with him a couple of times, but he was truly a nice guy.
they were destined for greatness...and ruined it with the jesus shit
@@preahko Ruined what?
I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't know Phil Keaggy played like that -- I only know his acoustic stuff. This is absolutely amazing stuff, what a phenomenal player.
What a guitarist!
Love these guys!! I've seen Phil Keaggy several times at the Winchester in Cleveland. Amazing guitarist IMO.
I saw Phil play at Ursuline High School with the Volume IV in 1967. They played pop stuff then, but they played it excellently. I can still see him doing his impression of Paul McCartney with his mop bopping up and down as sang "Penny Lane." He wasn't yet the legendary guitarist he would become, but even as a 15-year-old, I knew that he was very, very special!
Tom,
I saw them in the gym at Fitch that year. I was a freshman.
Back in like 1971 we used to go watch The Harp at Gannon College in Erie Pennsylvania
You're right, John doesn't deserve to be overlooked in the least. "Changes" is one of my favorite songs not because of Phi's phenominal fretwork, but because of John's power as a drummer.
You can get the DVD from the official Glass Harp website or the official Phil Keaggy website. I added the addresses to the "About this video" section.
Love Phil's bemused smile at the end, but I think it's just a reflection of his true humility. My wife & I had the privilege to interview Mr. Keaggy 15 years ago, and I can attest that he's about the most humble person we've ever met. He would play the same great solo whether he had an audience of 10 or 10,000!
Hi,how are you doing?
Watching on September 18, in the year of the plague 2020
Watching Tuesday, July 23, 2024
Found a Keaggy/Glass Harp Compilation record at thrift store yesterday. Really glad I did. Had never heard of these guys. Lucky find!
I saw a copy of the first LP for $50
Definitely a guitarist ahead of his time.
What a guitar tone!
And Sferra's drumming... oh my.
Probably my very favorite of the old Glass Harp songs.
Great band, Phil is an incredible guitarist ... just really dug the vibe of the video and song. Hardly a soul there but musicians and those present are into it. The macrame' sweater vest rocks :)
Kaeggy at his best.
That's amazing footage
DAMN. ..
Gooood morning, Thomas John here on wSRD. Don't forget Glass Harp performs Friday evening at The Arcade on the YSU campus.
I saw them back around this time. They were amazing. One of the best power trios of all time.
These guys were a hidden gem!!
This song is so good these band is great , I listen for the first time back in 1971 in a vinyl record that brings many groups that recorded in MCA
I never realized John sang this. This was the song on the MCA sampler LP that convinced me GH would change 20th century music.
I saw GLASS HARP at EDGEWATER PARK on Lake Erie in Cleveland the summer of '71...EPIC !!!
This track was on a demo LP called the MCA Sound Conspiracy along with Wishbone Ash Blind Eye. I met pPhil at Christ Church DC back in 1977. Never did get to see Glass Harp.
🗣 Wonderfull live performance
I remember going to see Glass Harp in the 70's with my old boyfriend and some friends in his brother's van. I think it was in Painesville. Phil is an amazing person. I heard a story once somewhere that he was warming up for a performance and Ted Nugent was talking to someone in the wings and inquired who the unbelievable guitarist was. It was Phil. God truly blessed him with an amazing talent. We both learned to play on a Sears Silvertone which I think is great.
Great never heard of band, really love their album.
What makes this really epic is the album track of Changes has a lot of orchestrations added and hearing just the 3 piece RAW Glass Harp, is a rare treat for me.
Сегодн впервые услышал Glass Harp, не смотря на то , что считал себя меломаном рок-музыки.
уже 4-й час слушаю и восхищаюсь игрой этих ребят
Привет из вышего СССР.😎✌️
Phil is playing Randy Rhoads style licks well before anyone knew who Randy was--pretty amazing!
My wife to be had their album when I met her in 1971,I had never heard them before but they had an influence on my life
the solo is golden!!!!!!
Ran into Phil at the airport several years ago - a genuinely nice person and a great musician!
Amen.
I meet Phil Keaggy at the junction center in Philly back In may 2017 he was really nice guy But the best part was that the whole band played that night glass harp sadly did not get to meet John or Daniel but it was still an amazing experience
Soooo good!!
Great times at Boston Mills and the band spots around Cleveland. Great music for sure and the crowds were usually attentive. Special...
Talent +
I am so ashamed I am 68 years old and am just now listening to this. My bad
@morleygrey I really agree with your original post. Phil Keaggy truly is 'absolutely incredible'. I do think that there are better guitarists than Phil, but I do love Phil's music.And get very much fed spiritually by it.Praise God.
To think the little kids sitting there are about 50 years old now......amazing---- and old Phil is about 62 and still touring!!
I saw this band (opening for Alice Cooper, I think) in Detroit around this time and was blown away by the guitarist. Of course I was very high...
I agree, but I wasn't trying to bash Page or anyone, I was just shocked to find such a great "underground" guitarist who was so innovative. But he clearly was inspired by Page and others. He just kind of perfected what THEY started.
I agree
Love Phil...glass harp baby
He's still out there playing regularly. I don't think his popularity has dwindled in all these years.
Nice word. I appreciate it. But there is also humility in recognizing true greatness outside of ourselves.
Anybody remember 2 for a buck nights ? The Harp and the James Gang.in Warren.
Saw them live last night. What an experience.
Simply the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!
EL SORPRENDENTE PHIL KEAGGY,LOS CRISTIANOS TIENEN TALENTO,GLASS HARP POR SIEMPRE. AWESOME KEAGGY,CHRISTIANS GOT TALENT,GLASS HARP FOREVER .THIS LIVE WAS FILMED 2 YEARS BEFORE MY BIRTH,TODAY JAN 22,13 THE FIRST TIME I WATCH THEM PLAYING,
phil never really wanted the fame
if he wanted it no doubt he could get it and build a legacy on top of his music
And damn it , don't forget that
Fantastic
Used to see these guys in Richmond in summer69 or 70. Who knows. Always wondered if anyone else remembered them. But there was another band playing the VCU gigs back then...Steel Mill and their opening act Mercy Flyte(great names these bands had) Anyway Robin Thompson left the flyte with cosinger Bruce Springsteen who had "some" success with his own band. Fun times.
man super excited to see these guys in mentor next friday
I was there
Great inspiration
Saludos Joe Rocker!!
Dans le Top 5 des meilleurs solo de guitare, so great.
Stacey didn't mention a thing about a reunion at the Plain Dealer - - poor Stacey, what did you know anyway!
damn right
his skill is legendary
awesome debut album! this is great!
Haha- you are correct sir! I'm with you 110%. I've been playing since 1982.....Yngwie was a huge influence on many of my friends, and he's a great guitarist, but just not my cup o tea, especially when he decides to open his mouth.....the guy is just in love with himself. Oh well....life goes on, right? As long as I've been playing, I'm STILL learning new stuff every day- at least I'm trying to. Keep on ROCKIN'!!! I wish there were more folks out there like yourself!
@lavaxtris1 Friend of mine wrote the comment you replied to. I let him surf the web on my rig. He loves UA-cam. His is PhilCCCM. May the Lord bless and keep you and may His face shine upon you.
Thanx for posting !!!
This performance is so good and those 3 kids look so bored.
Well.. they’re like 5 years old.
They have no idea what’s going on just in general. Lol
Well, when I was in grade school the teenagers on our street lived to terrorize us little kids, you learned to not trust big kids and give them a wide berth. I too would be uncomfortable sitting in that studio at that age
They were like teenage Experience & Cream, but sharing the Gospel in a rock package.
Great !
THANK YOU FOR POSTING PKfansteph!
what the heck sound-man???? The vocal mics are distorted as heck! Killer performance though!
Tssss. Imposible!!!!****
😊❤
🇧🇷
Holy shit!
i love how bored and confused the kids look.
Same look as the kids brought into a studio to watch Deep Purple in '70 or '71.
I just found a mint copy of the first album...the German import cd for 2 bucks at a Salvation Army store!!!!
Love these guys! Is this the same group that played in Cincinnati in the '70s?
Hi,how are you doing?
You opened for Phil keaggy? You have a great sound !
The story I heard was that when Keaggy met HIS idol Mike Bloomfield, finding out he was a strung-out junkie soured Phil on rock music in general.
2021
Back in 1973 Jan Akkerman of the Dutch band Focus won the MELODY MAKER (UK music weekly) poll as world's best guitarist, ahead of Clapton, Page, and Beck. His recordings with Focus, "Moving Waves" (1971) and "Focus 3" (1972), demonstrate why. You can see live footage of Focus playing at the Rainbow Theatre in London in 1973 here on UA-cam as well.
GMoorefan115
Thx for a good laugh & don't let me spoil your bad mood!
I do agree with GMoorefan115 though, there's no @#$%ing reason to post completely irrelevant information about another great guitarist, that has nothing to do with this video, except to try to undermine Phil Keaggy's playing (good luck with that)... which kind of earns for you the title of DIPSHIT that GMoorefan115 gave to you. LOL.
Jimi Hendrix said just before he died that Phil Keaggy was the best guitarist he had seen.
Schooner in Canberra "Soul Agent Promotions"
That's an urban legend. Look up the Phil Keaggy page on Wikipedia. There is a whole article about how it's untrue there. The bass player for Glass Harp, Daniel Pecchio, denied the rumor.
Hendrix allegedly said the same thing about Billy Gibbons and Terry Kath... I have heard a claim made that there is some old interview with Eddie Van Halen who, when asked, "What does it feel like to be the best guitarist in the world?" said, "You'd have to ask Phil Keaggy." No idea it it's true.
That's simply not a true story but Hendrix did for sure say that about Terry Kath . In the film by his daughter the band talks about the night Jimi was at one of their shows & went backstage after the show. Not just a rumor there are pictures of them & full accounts of what he said. It makes sense as Terry was just that.
These Hendrix claims are an urban legend. It's also been said that Hendrix said, Rory Gallagher was the best guitarist (he is great), LOL.
Anyone know if they ever recorded a live performance of "One Day at a Time" during the 70s? I think I've seen a live recording from 2000...but I'd love to see a performance of that song from 1972. Love the "Synergy" album. Have it on vinyl and was way happy when I was finally able to get it on CD (don't have a functioning record player at the moment).
haha nice comment so true, too
I hate how people can't respect each other and have to act like they can top the other.
It's hard to find Phil Keaggy playing rock. He's amazing. There is one album of him jamming on I tunes. Called Jammed. Pretty good.
Ya Wonder what would have happened if they stayed together about four more years?
they could have been great, if only Phil Keaggy didn't let that fucking jesus shit rot his brain
@@preahko He may read 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins one day, and change his mind...
@@preahko how exactly has that ruined his music or career. who are you comparing him to. jimmy hendrix?
the kid out front is like,"slide up the gain on that drummer's mic,up the 4k pot 2,and add some reverb, he's over driving it".
lol for sure man. they're obviously great and i didn't want to sound like i was discrediting them
He would blow away 95 % of these chumps today
NO creo que yo sea de los pocos que habla español y conosco de esta musica hablen o publiquen algo yo tuve un disco. me costo 23.90 en 69 y ahi venia esta super rola y tambien woostock con MATEWS opinen.
Muito top!!! Que sonzeira. Me sinto anacrônico.
Any of y'all have Glass Harp's "Song of Hope" to put up here on UA-cam for reid2hai to see? Dang that tone at 3:39...
WE AS A CHRISTIANS ROCKERS, WE HAVE ARE OWN BANDS NOW AND SINCE GLASS HARP 1971 TILL DISCIPLE 2010 OF GOOD BANDS... AND, GOD USED THIS MUSICIANS TO BLESS ARE LIFE!....LONG LIVE TO THE KING OF TRUE ROCK, JESUSCHRIST!!
