That's a very young Michael W. Smith on the piano. He was about 25 years old. Remember, the year is 1982-the same year we also lost dear brother Keith Green.
Surely I'd wanted to know our brother Keith. God has gave me the pleasure of knowing few testimonies about him and his fullhearted praises and worship to the Lord. Peace of the Lord be with you, brother Nelson.
I dont care if it's Amy or any other person committing sin.Were all sinners and have fallen short of the Glory of God.Instead of condemning her i'm just praying that she truly has a repentant heart.
When I was growing up, I wanted to BE her so bad, I admired her talent and beauty. I am now agnostic, but I look back at this with fond memories. I still enjoy listening to her lovely voice.
It was 1983 and "Age to Age" was the first Christian music cassette I ever bought. I must have played that cassette a million times over the next 10 or 12 years, until the tape wore out. Great music.
I've seen her about ten times in concert and she's awesome. I remember she used t run around the stage. Now she's older and more introspective and a great story teller
Of every album she has ever put out I own every one of them I started listening to Amy Grant when I was a young guy in high school and still listen to her now as a young adult now this song, and El Shaddai are my very favorites Even after all these years, I still know all the words to all of the songs on this entire album
Amy can belt out the songs and they tend (the words) to touch hearts. She sing lots of songs that tell us what God says we should do as Christians. She was just a teenager when she started singing and writing some great Godly songs. She is blessed. Thanks for the memories of me becoming a Christian back in the day.
Hi Everybody! I was singing with the Meadowbrook Estate Ensemble at the Ren Cen when Amy Grant was next door at the Ford Auditorium with her Age to Age tour. I went thru the back stage entrance, past security and listened to her sound check before the concert. She invited me back after my concert and hers and spoke with me at great length. At that time Michael W. Smith was her accompanist. Her songs greatly encouraged my faith and gave us young adults something 'hip' to listen to. Thank you Amy for putting yourself out there as a pioneer of contemporary music. I gave out at least 15 of Amy's Age to Age tapes for spreading the news of Christ and his love for all of us. I met her one more time at Meadow Brook Music Festival after her Unguarded Concert. Best wishes to her and her family.
Exactly Paul. Jeremiah9 above is Way off base. Amy struggled immensely with her marriage after marrying too young. She has now found happiness and it is not for any of us to judge.
Your entire argument is flawed; the reason millions of people connected with Amy Grant is the very fact that she was flawed, and repeatedly acknowledged that she wasn't perfect. She sang it in her songs: Faithless Heart, Cry A River, Shadows, even way back in the beginning, in the opening lines of Father's Eyes. That was her whole rhetoric; that NOBODY is perfect, yet we are ALL worthy of LOVE. AND she never uttered a judgmental word about anybody; unlike yourself. Don't let hate fuel you.
Well Saints were flawed too according to scripture, so not sure why you felt you needed to shoot his statement down. I think what he was saying is that Amy dropped a seed of faith into him. In order to have the impact on people like she does, she would have had to have been led by the Holy Spirit.
her voice got much better and more soulful when she aged. I’ve been a fan since I was 18 in 1980, and I am still. She is such a great songwriter too, but I did notice her voice matured into a soulfullness and more depth.
Loved the Age to Age album when it first came out. I had just given my life to Jesus and discovered Amy as a baby Christian. This brings back great memories!
I was at the April date of a 1986 tour at Lehigh University's Stabler Arena. An awesome show - but oddly enough the best concert I ever saw of Amy's was a free on at the Ohio State Fair in the early 90's.
Thanks for posting this video! Amy's been my favorite singer/songwriter ever since Age to Age came out. Her music has been a great comfort in my life. Thank God for Amy Grant!
I love this concert video! I have seen her in concert 3 times in my youth and not one of them have ever been a disappointment. I've been reading a few of the posts here online and I wanted to say, "You who are w/o sin, cast the first stone." I'm sure she is well aware of what she has done in her past. But, it is NOT for us to judge. I hope that God finds his way into your hearts, ye who are desperate to ridicule.
Thank you for posting this.. Love this music. I remember watching this on TV... and, yes, since then, Amy has had her ups and downs, as I and all of us have... but Thanks be to God.. He knows our frailties. our faults, our fears, and our failures, and loves us anyway. We are not a perfect people, but a forgiven people, in the process of being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.
Thank you SO much for sharing this!! Age to Age is one of my favorite all-time albums, (I've been listening to it for 31 years now, first hearing it in 1982 when I was 4 years old), and I've never seen this live concert. May God continue to bless Amy and her family, as she shares her gift with the world. May God bless Gary Chapman and Michael W. Smith and their families, too. It was awesome to them in this early performance, also!!
OMG! I had this concert on VHS when I was like 10 and I used to watch it daily! I think I know every note by heart as performed during this concert! Thanks so much for sharing this! AWESOME!!! Love it!
People are human, we make mistakes for all those people that criticize christians. We are not made perfect. We will never be perfect but at least we are forgiven because Jesus died for our sins. When we are all gone into heaven and you are left here on earth I hope you remember these words. God loves everyone but we all have the freedom to make choices.
God only knows Amy's heart now and then. I recall fondly how I had just had a spiritual awakening in the early 80's. I went to the Christian book stores to load up on Amy and her praise music. Just loved her music. I could sense even then that Amy was in it for the fame. You could tell very much that she was headed down the road to fame and fortune. I loved her music nonetheless. The lyrics were wonderful and good, but her life was headed on a collision course due in time. I didn't put all my faith in this singer as many followed her did, and when she fell from grace, I wasn't totally shocked but it hurt anyhow to see such a wonderfully blessed person could go from this to that (secular music not glorifying God). Not to be judgmental for God only sees the heart and motives of people in the spotlight. I believe they both (Amy and Gary) were sincere even though.
What a judgmental comment, "Judy Scott." How dare you accuse her of being 'after fame'? And many have described fame as the 'most powerful drug in the world.' Because it can be heady to have lots of people praising you, clapping for you, crying and singing along with you."
She didn't "fall from Grace" though. She's as saved today as she was when she first confessed Jesus as her saviour as far as anyone besides Amy and God know. Anyone who puts their faith in an earthly person is bound for disappointment. Stop doing God's job. He's got this.
Amy Grant your songs, singing and praises to the Lord have been phenomenal from day one and I think you are a special Daughter of the KING JESUS CHRIST is! God bless you and may you continue to walk in Him, no matter what people may say or think against you or even do to you! Maranatha!
I bought 20 tickets for my Church to see the Age to Age Tour back in the early 80's at Montclair High School. Montclair, NJ. Amy and her close friends were just great!
What's wrong with Christians using their God-given talents to make a living? It's perfectly honest. She and her tour mates are such talented musicians they use their gifts to both help the world AND make a living to support their families. Should she just do music as a 'hobby' after spending 9-5 at a 'regular' job?
isnt this talent giving by god to praise him in gratitude, i mean, there is no way to pay god's favors but we use the talents he gave us to extract a benefit, anyway i dont think a god exists
ohhhhhh 1982 the year i graduated from high school the year i stood in line for hours to get 2 tickets to see amy grant back in the day every christian on the planet had to see amy live in concert !!!!!!
Why did Gary wipe off her kiss at 54:30 ?? Wow was this ever foreshadowing? I always felt bad for him, but this shows he apparently wasn't really into her and that he on some level resented her even way back then. As a newlywed, you'd think he'd plant a great big kiss on that beautiful woman. No wonder she never felt loved.
Amy Grant's marriage to her first husband, the drug and alcohol addicted Gary Chapman, was extremely unhappy long before she even met Vince Gill. (He kept his addictions secret until he married her.) She has never revealed the truth about the suffering she had to endure at the hands of Gary, for the sake of her 3 children by him. Hence she became the target of criticism in the Christian world. She said that one day the truth will be revealed, hence, she is content to stay silent. Gary Chapman was also extremely jealous of Amy's success.
*Yes, Amy Grant **_was_** one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen! It's so sad that in recent video it is clear that she had a LOT of plastic surgery done, and for what purpose I can't even imagine. She's not one of the famous "Fails" of Plastics, but she **_is_** totally different looking: still very pretty, but without the innocent, no-makeup, wondrous look she started with (first time I saw it, it absolutely **_ruined_** my day).*
I remember this. I had it on cassette. Please stop demeaning her. The music and the message are what's important. It's uplifting and encouraging to Christians. Please?

She never completely returned to her roots, but she came close after a roughly deacde-long break. Once that break was over, I was back on board with her, and I'm still here today, almost 35 years after I first heard her beautiful voice.* *Considering I'm not a religious guy, it's interesting that I always found her early music felt, literally, like a religious experience! She was so joined into her faith and its expression, that it came right through the speakers and landed right on top of your heart!* *Again, thank you for posting this treasure!*
in sunday school we use to put on skids for the congregation and my twin sister did the FAT BABY song it was awesome just love you amy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing! Be blessed! This sure brings back some memories, and it's excellent music.. How I miss the "old" Amy Grant.. :*( Prayers for her..... God bless, Paulo!
I still have my Strait Ahead tour shirt from when I was 18 years old when she came to Houston. I am 52 now and I still listen to all of her songs, even the secular ones! 4 weeks ago I should have been dead in a horrific car accident wrapped around a tree , and I am literally being pieced back together very painfully. God has given me a second chance and I don't want to take it for granted.
I saw this concert back in the day, somewhere in central California...maybe Fresno? Too long ago! She was beautiful! GREAT concert. To all of you all who are judging...I ask for God's mercy in your lives because it is not our place to judge. "If we say we are without sin, we deceive ourselves and the TRUTH is NOT in us"
I remember listening to all of these old albums on my Walkman as a little kid. I love the message she gives: your relationship with God is yours and yours alone. You can try your best but "being good is just a fable." Let God direct your actions, by placing your faith and trust in Him.
BTW, all of you Amy Grant fans, I highly recommend you to watch this as this is not on DVD or Blu-Ray but only videocassette and LaserDisc. I had the videocassette but now have the LaserDisc of the video which is a classic concert.
I got introduced to Amy Grant while I was in AIT (Aug-Oct 1985) at Fort Sam Houston Texas to be a Combat Medic. On Sundays, several of us left to attend church off post when we were allowed to leave. Chuck Twitchell who was a SPC-5 at the beginning of school and was later moved up to SGT had Amy Grant on tape and we would listen to her. Got me hooked on her.
That's a very young Michael W. Smith on the piano. He was about 25 years old. Remember, the year is 1982-the same year we also lost dear brother Keith Green.
Surely I'd wanted to know our brother Keith. God has gave me the pleasure of knowing few testimonies about him and his fullhearted praises and worship to the Lord. Peace of the Lord be with you, brother Nelson.
Michael was only 24 here. Amazing. Anointed by the Lord for sure.
Who is at the Chuk norris Synth?
I dont care if it's Amy or any other person committing sin.Were all sinners and have fallen short of the Glory of God.Instead of condemning her i'm just praying that she truly has a repentant heart.
I wish Amy Grant had re-released this concert in DVD. I would surely buy it!
i was an original fan of hers, It was 1980 that I heard her sing, Father’s Eyes and here I am 32 yrs later
Me too. Been a fan for 44 years. Finally let her too and she s so gracious-‘
And so beautiful!
God bless
When I was growing up, I wanted to BE her so bad, I admired her talent and beauty. I am now agnostic, but I look back at this with fond memories. I still enjoy listening to her lovely voice.

I've seen her about ten times in concert and she's awesome. I remember she used t run around the stage. Now she's older and more introspective and a great story teller

Paul Ritchie Hi Paul! I have been looking for a copy of this concert for so many yrs! Can you tell me how I can get one?
Exactly Paul. Jeremiah9 above is Way off base. Amy struggled immensely with her marriage after marrying too young. She has now found happiness and it is not for any of us to judge.

This bring back memories. I love Amy and always will!!!! Her music never gets old.
Beautiful voice. To GOD be the glory
very good! fantastic! I love Amy Grant
Loved her music since the late 70's. A lot has changed since then. It's 2020 now! Wow. Long time! But I needed this tonight. Praise God.
I have this concert on VHS. I have watched it so many times I have it memorized. LOVE, love, love it.
Loved the Age to Age album when it first came out. I had just given my life to Jesus and discovered Amy as a baby Christian. This brings back great memories!
Imagine how she will sound in Heaven. My own realisation of Christ was nailed by this very saint. Thanks Amy....owe you one.
Loved her music since I was a child and my very religious neighbors had this video on. She's only gotten better with age.
She was my teenager and utopic love. Thank You Amy!
My words! All the best for you Daniel!
I've always appreciated Amy Grant and her service to the Lord and the rest of us too! :~)
I miss Gary too! I loved him on PTC and he is a funny and talented host. People should not judge them, thy both love the Lord. Only GOd knows
Gary Chapman has such a great voice!
Michael W. Smith in keyboards and musical direction, Gary Chapman in guitars, Amy singing! Great music and lyrics.
God bless Amy Grant!

Was this in Tacoma? If so, I was there.
This was filmed at Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte, NC. I was at the concert!!!

Age to Age launched my passion for magic and Michael's music, specifically.
Some of the best of Amy! Thank you for sharing! :)
I was still in Europe at this point : ) loved it
His comment at 44:40 pretty much sums up the dynamic of their marriage.
Amy Grant me and my son love this Concert.😍🙌🙌🙌🙌 and your 🎵🎶.. Throwback we would love to see a concert again

@@nessnake123 They have expenses. Like auditorium rental fees, insurance fees, etc.
@@crollinsphoto those singers are sponsored by the church thats how it works, and the congregation pays for that, thats the reason of the donations

I remember when Amy and Co came to New Zealand in 1983. Great concert in the Christchurch Town Hall!
Jesus rocks I switched writing tracks when I heard these guys
very cool
This album was one of the high points of contemporary Christian music for me!
You're not alone!
WE love you, Amy!!!! Your music is so pure and uplifting! Brings tears to the eyes!
i could not agree more.. as for me, i see people like amy an inspiration and a guiding instrument with my walk with the Lord.. God bless you :)
love her simple message - good reminder!
Seeing that this is 30 years ago makes me feel so bleepedy bleep OLD!
All Glory to the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit
She sing so well.
I remember this. I had it on cassette. Please stop demeaning her. The music and the message are what's important. It's uplifting and encouraging to Christians. Please?

In a lil while ist best song from amy
I remember listening to all of these old albums on my Walkman as a little kid. I love the message she gives: your relationship with God is yours and yours alone. You can try your best but "being good is just a fable." Let God direct your actions, by placing your faith and trust in Him.
Amy you have been a special blessing for me. A heavenly answer !!! You are a grea t woman..!!
Man, she sang so well back then. Miss that strong voice.
BTW, all of you Amy Grant fans, I highly recommend you to watch this as this is not on DVD or Blu-Ray but only videocassette and LaserDisc. I had the videocassette but now have the LaserDisc of the video which is a classic concert.
I just love Amy’s singing to me it’s so uplifting and I know she loves the Lord Really nice to have a good Christian singer that you can understand
Thank you so much for posting this! I use to have this on VHS. Lol! I just love old school Amy :)
It sure is!!
Yes it is!!!
THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!!!!!!!
I got introduced to Amy Grant while I was in AIT (Aug-Oct 1985) at Fort Sam Houston Texas to be a Combat Medic. On Sundays, several of us left to attend church off post when we were allowed to leave. Chuck Twitchell who was a SPC-5 at the beginning of school and was later moved up to SGT had Amy Grant on tape and we would listen to her. Got me hooked on her.
This concert sure brings it all back. Wow!
great.....I saw MW Smith live in 2012 in Vienna!!! Greetings from Austria
Such a great concert.
I went to it twice!
Amy & MWS made such a great team.
I'm a life-long fan of both.
Thanks so much for posting it here!!!
