GLASS HARP - Phil Keaggy - John The Revelator BLISTERING! - Cain Park - 8-2-03

There are several versions of GLASS HARP and Phil Keaggy playing JOHN THE REVELATOR here on YOU TUBE, so I wondered if I should share yet another.. After watching this a few times, I think anyone who is a fan of the band and Phil will no doubt be happy I did! This was recorded at Cain Park on Aug 2, 2003 and to me is one of the hottest versions ever! This jam starts with an amazing B3 solo from GLASS HARP sideman Chris Queen who really let loose! (Great job Chris!) and then a blistering solo from Phil. As always, the bottom was rock solid with Johnny and Daniel doing what they do best! Recorded with band permission and from the master 8mm in the orchestra pit!! Enjoy!!

The Lord said make a Joyous noise. This sure counts. Amen

Chris Queen is SOLID

[@josephullman1526]

Heard of him for decades but just started listening to his stuff. Uh wow. If he’s not the best (and he isn’t) he’s sure as hell up there. He can do it all. All styles. All genres. Electric. acoustic. Impeccable rhythm. Wow

[@RowlandLewis]

Fantastic four

[@tammysavoie9771]

Almost 55 years since the first played together if I'm not mistaken. Wow! What a treat!

[@johns.8082]

When Phil plays drummers sweat.

[@JC-DC]

In almost 50 years of listening to incredible guitar players, my top 2 are 2) Danny Gatton and 1) Phil Keaggy

[@anthonyfoy1694]

And thanks for the kudos.. more to come when I have time to edit!! It sounds like you already do, but for those who don't PLEASE SUPPORT THE BAND by buying their CDS and DVDs! Thanks!

Isn't this the guy that 'Slow Hand Clapton' dubbed the best guitar player in the world?

[@ebookpioneers]

No.

[@Jolly4jc]

The oft-quoted story that you're thinking of is that Jimi Hendrix said it. But Phil has repeatedly denied the story as being anything other than an urban legend, and there's absolutely no evidence that it ever happened. Phil HAS received quite a few shout-out's from other famous guitarists over the past 40 years, but he's a humble guy who just lets his guitar do the talking.

[@jimmuncy5636]

+Mark Dadian Eric said that Buddy Guy is the best guitar player in the world.

[@jimmuncy5636]

+Jolly4jc Jimi said that Billy Gibbons is his favorite guitar player.

[@ebookpioneers]

+James Muncy ~ I think he just mentioned Billy as someone he really liked to listen to. Now Jimi did once say to both a member of the band, Chicago, along with their manager that, "Your guitar player is better than me." Than was when Terry Kath was still alive. And Terry was better than him. Keaggy was better than both of them put together though even if no one said it.

[@donmcc6573]

I know Phil made his choice. But, if he had just spent some time pursuing a secular path, he would be known and recognized as one of the greatest guitar players ever. But, I know, I worry about it more than he does.
