Do you know how music can remind you of a first love?! This album does that for me! The days when I first fell in love with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
How anyone could put a thumbs down on this is unimaginable? Haha! Keaggy used to live across from where my wife was a nanny in Costa Mesa. His kids would come over and play. I would sometimes slip a cassette tape into their hands and say, "hey, let your dad hear this" [I was young and dumb]. Haha. Eventually, I did get to open for Phil Keaggy at Vanguard University [SCC at the time] when his manager forgot to tell him the start time of his concert. So there I was with a date [and I had paid admission] and the activities director came and asked if I would lead worship since Keaggy was late! I did - for a fee - since I was on a date, after all. Anyway, amazing musician and brother in the Lord.
How cool is that?!! Glad you shared. Was stoked when I found a record of his at thrift store kept it. Of course. :) i live on cali coast between l.a. and sa fran.
Momma just passed early Monday morning. She loved Phil Keaggy so much and i remember hearing him all the time. My uncle is actually friends with him still today.
sorry to hear about your mom...I sang "Hallelujah" to my mom as she passed away...that is track B4 at minute mark 27:49 above...important album for me and my family...God Bless you
Phil Keaggy was one of the Christian Artist who brought the guitar into the forefront of worship. Controversy arose within Christian circles regarding music, worship, and how it was to be presented in the church. However, the Church at the time was going through revival among it's youth (myself included) where by Hippies from the 1960's were being saved in what is now know as the Charismatic Revival 1968-78. Phil Keaggy was one of those Artists who listened to the Holy Spirit and helped plow the hardened ground, and planting the seeds for others to harvest and follow. I thank God for his Gifting's, and how this album impacted my life when I was a new Christian. Thanks for posting this album.
I listened to a bad tape of this and one of Keith Green's albums every night from January 1978 to 1983. It was what the Holy Spirit was using to purge all of the negative self talk and doubt that resulted from years of living in an abusive situation. It was one of those "flower children" who's joy of salvation radiated from under his Hippie human shell that reached out with love to a guy that had been labeled "untouchable" and believed it himself. Maranatha... Come Lord Jesus. There is really nothing left according to prophesy but the coming itself. Come Lord... "If there is time for one more good revival, use me too." Ken
This is one of the greatest albums ever made. Written and performed by a man who had truly found the Creator and Savior of all. God bless you, Phil, for speaking truth for so many years. I love you man, always will.
I recently attended the Paul Clark/Phil Keaggy 50th Anniversary Concert in Kansas City. They jammed on What a Day for many minutes. I never heard it rock so hard before.
I have this vinyl too. Several years back the wife and I saw him live in a small church in Michigan. Sat in front and I brought the sleeve and he was so gracious to sign it for me, awesome. still cherish it. He's my all time favorite Christian guitarist. and what a great heart.
Phil was the first artist that approached me back on the main stage at the very first Cornerstone music Festival, after talking to him I felt much more comfortable. It was Ironic that the first christian album i had ever bought was Town to Town by Phil, in late 1982 as I made my decision to follow Christ in March of that year. While serving in the US Army station on the DMZ in 1988, this album and Love broke thru, and Town to Town as well as many other albums sustained me in that live tense cease fire treaty, combat zone! My last day on the DMZ received a very nice blessing from Christ as I was walking out of the mess hall at Worrier Base to see a tour bus pull in with my friend Darrel Mansfield and his band, Darrel also has two of his boys with him. What a blessing for this man of Christ to have of all musician's and a friend, to show up right as I was about to medi-vaced back to the States. Later that summer ran into Darrel and the band back at Cornerstone. So keep the faith and trust in Christ our Lord, as you never know when He sends you unexpected blessing, even in dark places! Christ's love for us is never ending, and He is faithful to restor your soul, for Juses is the Christ, the Son of the living God!!!!
In my opinion, this album and Master and the Musician are the most glorious worship albums EVER made. Thank you Phil for giving us music from Heaven! 😊❤️
As I stated to Mr. Cook, I had never heard this album by him. I have to say this is taking me to Heaven in an earth sort of way. I'm hearing so much of the early music. This month has been a revival with the recent Asbury University phenomenon, and with the 3rd season of The Chosen and the movie, "Jesus Revolution". There is a documentary of "Love Song" called, "First Love". Oh those harmonies! And the musical virtuoso is incredible! How did I not know of these guys? I guess, being saved in '87 may have precluded me from all this, and there was no TH-cam to find it. I was always looking for spiritual Christian music. I never found this in bookstores. Glad I am hearing it now. Perfect timing for all this to culminate into a world revival, as I was feeling the beginnings of it for a year before Asbury, and now I know God was telling me it is coming. I knew it had to happen b4 the trib, bc how could we go through all that without being recharged, or in some cases charged for the first time, first. WE would need that strength to endure. Thank God for His mercy and His grace to follow His commandments, and firstly, to love each other.
What a day that will be when we get back to simpler times and trust in the Lord like those days were! Thanks for the ride back to the very year I was saved!!
Nothing evokes the 70s for me like this album. I have listened to Phil's music all my life and now my teens request it for their mp3 players. Timeless, beautiful, and Jesus-centered!
Jesus is Lord. Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38. Jesus is so good to forgive and save us from our sins as Matthew 1:21 says.
I remember attending a "Paul Clark and Friends" concert with my two older brothers around 1974 in Kalamazoo, Phil Keaggy was one of the "friends". Such fond memories. I've had the opportunity to see about 3 more of his shows. I love his music, and really love the God glorifying lyrics...and even "spirit", or perhaps I should say "Spirit" in his beautiful instrumental works. FYI, this album cover looks about as worn as mine does (which i still own). Thanks for sharing this.
How many times , when in dark time's of depression , music has lifted me out. When music is anointed , it never gets old ..... God bless You all ! Even in Heaven we will sing to The Lord Jesus Who made heaven and earth ..... Hallelujah \o/
I can even hear the threads on the record as it plays! What good memories! Thank you for putting up this album! Christian music was so direct and pure in those days!
I began to appreciate Phil Keaggy with this album in 1973. Prior to this, I enjoyed Elvis Presley's Gospel Music, Andrae Crouch and the Disciples, Love Song (These in Louisville, Kentucky seemed to be more prominent than even Larry Norman), the Archers were also becoming known, Dallas Holm. Keaggy helped me to fall in love with great guitar music, including this spectacular accoustic style.
I was a young man in high school when this album came out this was Phil's 1st expression of love to his Savior and it has always touched me and its my fav ty bro Phil Gb..
First time I heard What a Day I was listening on a CCM radio station in L.A. and I said to myself " Hey, I've never heard this particular Beatles song before. What's the name of it?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
in the mid 1970's my parents bought our family this album and larry norman, and randy stonehill and a few more on 8 track for our VW bug!...anyway their intent was that my brother and I would know Jesus...I walked away for 20 years and came back to Jesus in 2002 and it is 2024 and I am still walking with Lord...I bought all the old albums on CD and this is still one of my favorites...it is more pure than some of the other early Christian albums which were tinged with a little rebellion that went along with the times, but not this one...kind of pure good lyrics...and it is okay to air guitar at few points!
@@gonzalot74 - Great call, thanks very much, for reminding me; which also brings up Barry McGuire, Petra, Michael W Smith and Amy Grant - All from around this period of 70's to early 80's.
Yeah and Randy Stonehill and Love Song compare very well as does John's brother Terry Talbot. It goes on gladly! You said Terry Taylor right? But I DO love that original trio!
My Dad played this for me when I was a baby, but I didn't find out until a few years ago, because I heard this and said, "Woah! I recognize that!" I have literally had these songs ingrained in me my whole life without knowing it! Jesus is amazing, and God really does have a plan for everything. I have been humming King of the Jews for YEARS without knowing how I learned it or what the words were! It was stuck in my heart and mind and I am so happy I now know what that song in my soul has been. This is probably the most beautiful music I have ever heard because the words of worship are so powerful and lovely!
What a wonderful testimony! And the fact that you "knew" these songs does prove that it is essential to play positive music to your fetus and baby after it is born. I was saved in '87, and I had heard some of Phil's later music when he had made the turn to more jazz-influenced music. I was not as crazy about it as this, but you can't blame such a virtuoso for turning that corner, as it would seem logical given his skill as a guitarist. He would have pushed that skill to the limit. But I still love this more. First time I am hearing it. This had to be a time when he was still honeymooning. I hope this recent Asbury revival will continue further West and throughout the world. I have been sensing revival starting to happen before that, and now with "The Chosen's" 3rd season and the movie "Jesus Revolution,"; it's just right in lockstep with everything else. God is such a masterful Master, haha.
❤ Young person , this man was mightily touch by your heavenly Father, I am a guitar player and Christian music lover. There is a lesson for us all to learn about Phil Keaggy ...if you whole heartedly humble your self before our Great and gracious Lord of ALL creation, he will exalt you. This I have always believe why Phil music and especially his guitar playing is something not of this world. Can't wait to talk to him and hear him playing and singing everyday in heaven. So may God richly bless you and........never let go of his hand!
00:00 This Is What the Lord Will Do for You 02:54 King of the Jews 05:02 Walking With Our Lord 09:20 A Time and a Place 12:09 Rejoice 16:53 What a Day 21:36 Now I Can See 26:40 Behold All Things Become New 27:59 Hallelujah 32:41 I Will Sing
I am so glad that Mr. Phil did not use his talent playing the “world’s music,” because if he had, we would not have this absolute treasure of a Christian album to listen to. I listen to it about every day. Not bad for an almost fifty-year-old album! Thanks, Mr. Phil!
If it helps, the young Keaggy couple had a difficult experience with the Christian community that they were living in at the very time of this recording. It was stifling, pietistic, authoritarian, stinking "Discipleship" paradigm was all the rage at the time, as if the New Testament of the period of the Advent was the correct model for all times. Yet this beautiful album of songs survived - nay, was cultivated in - that very circumstance. Our response to circumstance is what the Holy Spirit will use for our advancement and understanding. Thanks.
Do you know Jesus Christ? Adrian Pearly May Elise, as Eric Clapton once said., about the Greatest Guitar Player, " I don't know, ask Phil Keaggy! See all songs Especially what a Day!! ( when i met you!)❤
@@rb235 a time and a place does sound fast, but i never would have thought of it w/o your comment. i haven't listened to these songs for decades and my friend says his turntable is calibrated.
I had such a musical crush on Keaggy. I was in such self doubt and torment. His singing of the scripture and praise to God helped carry me thru some very dark times. Thank you Phil, Thank you Lord.
Also one of the first Christian albums I ever heard. This, Keith Green, and Don Francisco were my introduction to contemporary Christian music when I was a new Christian. They remain the standards for what I think contemporary Christian music should be: Musically excellent, scripturally true, and spiritually powerful. Phil Keaggy has always stood out in the former and Keith Green in the latter.
That’s my short list also! Except I’d add Phil Driscoll. I WOULD add John Michael Talbot, however I believe his music, though beautiful, has a deceptive Roman Catholic foundation. Satan can appear as an angel of light. That’s the category I place JMT in. I therefore refuse to listen to his music anymore.
This album brought me through some rough times over the years. The purity and freshness are incredibly presented by Phil. The best of all the Jesus music from that era. The guitar work stands that test of time.
Although I like this album far more than his later ones, given his talent, you couldn't blame a virtuoso for making the logical turn to jazz. I was saved in '87, and I had never heard this. I had heard _Malcolm and Alwyn; Barry McGuire, Randy Stonehill, 2nd Chapter of Acts,_ all the 'regulars,' but the vocals and musical talent in _"Love Song"_ is "the" best I've ever heard, now hearing it all in 2023, as far as vocals *_AND_* music talent and spirituality.
@@truthlikevelcro5689 I'm a bit confused. When did Keaggy turn to Jazz? Maybe a here and there touch but even he doesn't consider himself a good jazz musician. Take a listen to "Illumination" and "All At Once" Hardly jazz. Being an avid Keaggy fan, I think that his phenomenal talent has far outlasted most from the Jesus Music forerunners and even recognition in the secular world ( which doesn't move him) as one of the finest guitar players ever. My first time seeing him in concert was the evening that he joined the Love Song band. Keaggy has over 50 albums! Amazing! The Two studio Love Song Albums from the 70's are fantastic. Their third from the 90's was a valiant effort... but the re-works did not have the same voltage. One original on that album was excellent. Don't think there is a Christian Musician who holds a candle to him on any instrument. He is in a different stratosphere... yet still one of the most humble of guys.
@@truthlikevelcro5689 Keaggy is hardly a Jazz Musician. There's no doubt in my mind that he is the most prolific of the Jesus Music musicians. Over 50 albums later. Try "Illumination" or "All At Once". Hardly Jazz. But... What A Day is born from his Jesus Revolution Experience on the East Coast where he was part of Love In. Yes, Love Song was great... but they dissolved in the mid 70's. Keaggy keeps on keeping on.
Sept. 8, 1972, the day I was brought back to the Creator, Who knew me best and loved me most! That day Phil and Peter York(great Christian performer and Producer), played a concert for me personally! Talk about "off to a GREAT start"!
This album and I have quite a history. I used to carry a copy with me pretty much everywhere I went. Usually with something green and sticky and play it for my 'hippie" friends and acquaintances. Now I Can See moves me so much to this day. Time just stops. Great album, side two is superb.
I'm new to the channel and I want to thank you for this great work, for releasing songs so good that I might never find anywhere else. These songs refresh the soul. Thank you, God bless your life. (I do not speak English well and I used the translator.
I too was Saved in 1977 by a Brother named Don Cost of Campus Crusade for Christ Don led me to Jesus . .I first heard Phil on KRDS Phoenix Az Radio station .that year and so my friends had his Album.He has really inspired my worship Singing as 2nd chapter of Acts has too ..Love you Phil.. Maranatha
Been a fan of Phil's music since the early 70s. I fell in love with guitar. I memorized all the lyrics from his songs and can still sing along, not missing a word. Heard him live with Love Song at Calvary Chapel in Los Angeles while on temporary duty at March AFB.
One of my first Christian albums I ever owned and one of my favorites. Played the tape so much I wore it out. How can I get a CD version of this? Chris- Auburn, Wa.
3bay, t0rrent Phil Keaggy Discography 1974-2012 (69 Releases) and pick the first box for this album (mp3s). If I were a Christian musician that had made this album and someone bought it already, I wouldn't mind if they got a copy of it after wearing their copy out. My copy would also be worn and I don't have a record player working, let alone a cassette player any more. This album alone, beats most of most of what is labelled as Christian the last 20 years.
I was BORN AGAIN in 1977, was playing Bass in a rock groupe , Phil Keaggy music Blessed me all the way till now 2024. This guy is incredible, awsome and humble. Thank you Phil, millions owe you for helping them , like you helped me , thru a VERY dark time in my life. I truly "Cherish the Moment " Blessings to you and your family. Pietermartzburg 🇿🇦kzn South🇮🇱 Africa
When I first heard this Wonderful Album - It was from a Recording on a Cassette Tape - I was a New Believer - And I bought 3 Vinyl Records and gave 2 Away - One to My Bass Player - God Rest His Soul - Jake Rohde - The Other I gave to Al Jasmund - I Hope You are still around Bro - I play at least 3 Songs from this Album…
I read a review on this album that spent 2000 dollars in making this incredible masterpiece. My mom is on her death bed and will soon be with Jesus for evermore. As I sit here with her at this moment listening to this I am experiencing the Peace of the LORD. Such o relief in this troublesome time. Thank you Jesus🙏
This guy is amazing. I can believe its 2019 and he is still putting out new music. He has continually changed his style with the times. Heck, he even has a song on the WOW albums. lol
Absolutely my FAVORITE guitar player, but I also love Reverend Gary Davis, Steve Howe, Steve Hackett, and John Williams. I met Mr. Phil back in 1994, and he was such a nice person. This is my favorite album by him, along with Love Broke Through.
I was a janitor in ft.wayne Ind. at Calvary temple in the 70's and the "Adams Appel Christian coffee house "of Calvery Teampel....I meet many of these amazing Christian music artist....the fast forward Adams Appel ministries had their reunion 3 years ago and Phil keaggy and Matthew ward came for the reunion, ..John lioyd who was the founder of the Adams Appel and senior pastor of Adams Appel, he and I had many conversations back then, and fast forward to John lioyd, affectionate called "PJ" (PASTOR JOHN)...o had the pleasure and privilege of spending time with "PJ" the last year of his life , before his home comeing, PJ was soooooo gifted ...!!!! Play guitar , harmonica , PJ was just as good as Bob Dylon , !!! his command of the word of God was not equal to none.. !!! PJ is now before the the face of God...
What a day when we get to our Eternal home. This brings back so many blessed times listening to Phil's incredible guitar playing. Since 1975 when Jesus came into my Heart❤ Still walking with the Lord and being an evangelist for the Kingdom
I first heard this Album on a Cassette that Ed Olson’s Brother Recorded- it was in a Coffeehouse on the Fort Lauderdale “Strip” (Beach) - The Bible Teacher There was Jack Fontaine (His Wife was Jane) Does anybody else out there remember Them or This Coffeehouse?
Do you know how music can remind you of a first love?! This album does that for me! The days when I first fell in love with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Same here Eugene. Brings a tear to my eye when I think of the younger version of myself. This music was so important
Me too..
I’m only 15, I have this album on vinyl. gods great man. He’s helped me through so much
AMEN
Hahahaha wahoo an amazing day hallaluiah...
Yes yes yes 🙌

I have been sensing revival starting to happen before that, and now with "The Chosen's" 3rd season and the movie "Jesus Revolution,"; it's just right in lockstep with everything else. God is such a masterful Master, haha.
❤ Young person , this man was mightily touch by your heavenly Father, I am a guitar player and Christian music lover. There is a lesson for us all to learn about Phil Keaggy ...if you whole heartedly humble your self before our Great and gracious Lord of ALL creation, he will exalt you. This I have always believe why Phil music and especially his guitar playing is something not of this world. Can't wait to talk to him and hear him playing and singing everyday in heaven. So may God richly bless you and........never let go of his hand!
❤🎉

I am so glad that Mr. Phil did not use his talent playing the “world’s music,” because if he had, we would not have this absolute treasure of a Christian album to listen to. I listen to it about every day. Not bad for an almost fifty-year-old album! Thanks, Mr. Phil!
Thank you exceedingly for uploading this! 🙏🏼 Takes me back to my early days of knowing the Lord. This album is timeless!
Boy you can really hear the Beatles influence in his singing on this album.
Yes, I think that's why this was such a good transition for me into more good christian music, with the style I still love.
first time i heard what a day i really thought it was the Beatles😂😂
Fooled my sister ; who was a huge Beatles fan !
love this... thanks for the share
Being born into a new body is my hope
Love this!!!
Are you Lewis' & Mary Neely's daughter or granddaughter?
Forgiveness is the passport to the heavens
It sounds so much better from vinyl.
I bet Phil misses all that hair. I know I miss all of mine.
Amen, Brother!
🤔😁
But what a day here I am hearing a drum set
Wish I had positive comments. Negative feelings from 1977. Okontoe fellowship MN
Yeah, and?
Bitterness harms only the one who is bitter. Forgiveness is freedom...
If it helps, the young Keaggy couple had a difficult experience with the Christian community that they were living in at the very time of this recording. It was stifling, pietistic, authoritarian, stinking "Discipleship" paradigm was all the rage at the time, as if the New Testament of the period of the Advent was the correct model for all times. Yet this beautiful album of songs survived - nay, was cultivated in - that very circumstance. Our response to circumstance is what the Holy Spirit will use for our advancement and understanding. Thanks.
@@karziekey I can relate...
@@rickfromthecape3135 forgiveness is the passport to the heaven
Do you know Jesus Christ? Adrian Pearly May Elise, as Eric Clapton once said., about the Greatest Guitar Player, " I don't know, ask Phil Keaggy! See all songs Especially what a Day!! ( when i met you!)❤
Then being reincarnated into a perfect body, is impossible, except that which offered here. It's not the stupid that use it. they are real
This is much faster than normal, definitely not the 33 1/3 rpm it should be.
Not true, look up the song lengths anywhere, add them together, same as the length of this upload.
I listen to music with my ears not my calculator. Just make sure your table is spinning at the correct speed that’s all.
@@rb235 Yes mine is. Do you have this vinyl to compare on your turntable?
@@rb235 a time and a place does sound fast, but i never would have thought of it w/o your comment. i haven't listened to these songs for decades and my friend says his turntable is calibrated.
When metaphysical science meet real faith, shit gets weird
God Bless
I had such a musical crush on Keaggy. I was in such self doubt and torment. His singing of the scripture and praise to God helped carry me thru some very dark times. Thank you Phil, Thank you Lord.
Also one of the first Christian albums I ever heard. This, Keith Green, and Don Francisco were my introduction to contemporary Christian music when I was a new Christian. They remain the standards for what I think contemporary Christian music should be: Musically excellent, scripturally true, and spiritually powerful. Phil Keaggy has always stood out in the former and Keith Green in the latter.
Cool. Great artists no doubt! Also like those great bands, Parable and Mustard Seed Faith!
Don't forget 2nd chapter of Acts.....
Agree, this Love broke thru; album same...song Time
That’s my short list also! Except I’d add Phil Driscoll. I WOULD add John Michael Talbot, however I believe his music, though beautiful, has a deceptive Roman Catholic foundation. Satan can appear as an angel of light. That’s the category I place JMT in. I therefore refuse to listen to his music anymore.
and Petra :)
Mine as well.
This album brought me through some rough times over the years. The purity and freshness are incredibly presented by Phil. The best of all the Jesus music from that era. The guitar work stands that test of time.
Such talented playing!
Although I like this album far more than his later ones, given his talent, you couldn't blame a virtuoso for making the logical turn to jazz. I was saved in '87, and I had never heard this. I had heard _Malcolm and Alwyn; Barry McGuire, Randy Stonehill, 2nd Chapter of Acts,_ all the 'regulars,' but the vocals and musical talent in _"Love Song"_ is "the" best I've ever heard, now hearing it all in 2023, as far as vocals *_AND_* music talent and spirituality.
@@truthlikevelcro5689 I'm a bit confused. When did Keaggy turn to Jazz? Maybe a here and there touch but even he doesn't consider himself a good jazz musician. Take a listen to "Illumination" and "All At Once" Hardly jazz. Being an avid Keaggy fan, I think that his phenomenal talent has far outlasted most from the Jesus Music forerunners and even recognition in the secular world ( which doesn't move him) as one of the finest guitar players ever. My first time seeing him in concert was the evening that he joined the Love Song band. Keaggy has over 50 albums! Amazing! The Two studio Love Song Albums from the 70's are fantastic. Their third from the 90's was a valiant effort... but the re-works did not have the same voltage. One original on that album was excellent. Don't think there is a Christian Musician who holds a candle to him on any instrument. He is in a different stratosphere... yet still one of the most humble of guys.
@@truthlikevelcro5689 Keaggy is hardly a Jazz Musician. There's no doubt in my mind that he is the most prolific of the Jesus Music musicians. Over 50 albums later. Try "Illumination" or "All At Once". Hardly Jazz. But... What A Day is born from his Jesus Revolution Experience on the East Coast where he was part of Love In. Yes, Love Song was great... but they dissolved in the mid 70's. Keaggy keeps on keeping on.
What A Day is such a cool piece. Bizarre chord progression that sometimes sounds Beatles-ish. But Keagy is definitely an original.
Look at the cover of his album Town to Town ......
Very similar to Band on the Run by Paul Mac and Wings
Sept. 8, 1972, the day I was brought back to the Creator, Who knew me best and loved me most! That day Phil and Peter York(great Christian performer and Producer), played a concert for me personally! Talk about "off to a GREAT start"!
Phil has such powerful anointed music that crosses all ecclesial communities. It is timeless and filled with the joy of the Lord. Thank you Phil.
This album and I have quite a history. I used to carry a copy with me pretty much everywhere I went. Usually with something green and sticky and play it for my 'hippie" friends and acquaintances. Now I Can See moves me so much to this day. Time just stops. Great album, side two is superb.
I'm new to the channel and I want to thank you for this great work, for releasing songs so good that I might never find anywhere else. These songs refresh the soul. Thank you, God bless your life. (I do not speak English well and I used the translator.
Your English is great!
Musically there’s a lot more going on here than you think at first listen. Layers of complexity.
Said the Robin to the Sparrow….
I would really like to know...
I too was Saved in 1977 by a Brother named Don Cost of Campus Crusade for Christ Don led me to Jesus . .I first heard Phil on KRDS Phoenix Az Radio station .that year and so my friends had his Album.He has really inspired my worship Singing as 2nd chapter of Acts has too ..Love you Phil.. Maranatha
Been a fan of Phil's music since the early 70s. I fell in love with guitar. I memorized all the lyrics from his songs and can still sing along, not missing a word. Heard him live with Love Song at Calvary Chapel in Los Angeles while on temporary duty at March AFB.
God bless you Phil Keaggy!
what a day is perfect the melody harmony are dancing
Just Beautiful!
This guy fully reminds me of paul mccartney(but the saved version)...someone say otherwise?!
Completely accurate! I have thought the same thing since I was introduced to him. The face and voice are both similar to him.
My first Christian album, thanks to Phil for bringing such musical joy to my heart.
Mine, to!
Thanks for posting this. I’ve really dug on Glass Harp the last few years. Phil is the man.
One of my first Christian albums I ever owned and one of my favorites. Played the tape so much I wore it out. How can I get a CD version of this? Chris- Auburn, Wa.
3bay,
t0rrent Phil Keaggy Discography 1974-2012 (69 Releases) and pick the first box for this album (mp3s). If I were a Christian musician that had made this album and someone bought it already, I wouldn't mind if they got a copy of it after wearing their copy out. My copy would also be worn and I don't have a record player working, let alone a cassette player any more.
This album alone, beats most of most of what is labelled as Christian the last 20 years.
It's still my favorite...
@@dylanjames7031 looks like theft to me. Not a legitimate source to obtain copyrighted material from. I would suggest searching other avenues
@@prosoloist - Oh and then there is the whole album on youtube for FREE also. Thanks for your reply.
I've seen him live several times in the eighties. What a talented godly man.
I was BORN AGAIN in 1977, was playing Bass in a rock groupe , Phil Keaggy music Blessed me all the way till now 2024.
This guy is incredible, awsome and humble.
Thank you Phil, millions owe you for helping them , like you helped me , thru a VERY dark time in my life.
I truly "Cherish the Moment "
Blessings to you and your family.

This is still my favorite album after all these years..Timeless ,simple and goes to the heart ..
When I first heard this Wonderful Album - It was from a Recording on a Cassette Tape - I was a New Believer - And I bought 3 Vinyl Records and gave 2 Away - One to My Bass Player - God Rest His Soul - Jake Rohde - The Other I gave to Al Jasmund - I Hope You are still around Bro - I play at least 3 Songs from this Album…
I listen to it all the time
He's playing every instrument on this album the drum is his guitar..lol
His guitar is not the highhat though.
I read a review on this album that spent 2000 dollars in making this incredible masterpiece. My mom is on her death bed and will soon be with Jesus for evermore. As I sit here with her at this moment listening to this I am experiencing the Peace of the LORD. Such o relief in this troublesome time. Thank you Jesus🙏
@@jimmybarnes7404 we're all soon going to be with the Lord time is short one of my favorite Phil keaggy....time
@@jimmybarnes7404 God bless you and her
This guy is amazing. I can believe its 2019 and he is still putting out new music. He has continually changed his style with the times. Heck, he even has a song on the WOW albums. lol
So much God energy!
This album sells for $200 on ebay..I still have his 1st cassette, still works too!
This song sounds like Paul Mcartney
Absolutely my FAVORITE guitar player, but I also love Reverend Gary Davis, Steve Howe, Steve Hackett, and John Williams. I met Mr. Phil back in 1994, and he was such a nice person. This is my favorite album by him, along with Love Broke Through.
Gospel. Gold. The best
Recorded in Cleveland after leaving Glass Harp in Aug. 1972. This is a total DIY record.
Thanks for share...memories...Great album
What guitar is Phil using to overlay the nylon string with electric? It has that rich Les Paul sound, and it was in '73 so probably not the Zion.
Les Paul
I was a janitor in ft.wayne Ind. at Calvary temple in the 70's and the "Adams Appel Christian coffee house "of Calvery Teampel....I meet many of these amazing Christian music artist....the fast forward Adams Appel ministries had their reunion 3 years ago and Phil keaggy and Matthew ward came for the reunion, ..John lioyd who was the founder of the Adams Appel and senior pastor of Adams Appel, he and I had many conversations back then, and fast forward to John lioyd, affectionate called "PJ" (PASTOR JOHN)...o had the pleasure and privilege of spending time with "PJ" the last year of his life , before his home comeing, PJ was soooooo gifted ...!!!! Play guitar , harmonica , PJ was just as good as Bob Dylon , !!! his command of the word of God was not equal to none.. !!! PJ is now before the the face of God...
@@garrymcelfresh7274 You know he & Pastor Chuck are laughing together about the old days
I’m thinking Phil might have been using a Mark Evan Whitebook acoustic ; but I’m definitely not sure on that !
What a day when we get to our Eternal home.
This brings back so many blessed times listening to Phil's incredible guitar playing. Since 1975 when Jesus came into my Heart❤
Still walking with the Lord and being an evangelist for the Kingdom
Wonderful Christian message - and the talent! Nothing like that today.
❤thenks, dziakyi, city, Minsk, Belarusian ❤. & Cat Stewens, Paul Simon & Garfunkel, Magna Carta, Road, Ian Matthews, The Bread, Christie, ...
I first heard this Album on a Cassette that Ed Olson’s Brother Recorded- it was in a Coffeehouse on the Fort Lauderdale “Strip” (Beach) - The Bible Teacher There was Jack Fontaine (His Wife was Jane) Does anybody else out there remember Them or This Coffeehouse?
I'm a born again Christian, the only way to be one anyhow!!!!
Amen It worked
Love it❤
