Phil Keaggy | Cornerstone's Living Room Concert Series

[@rennovattio7818]

In the early '90s Phil visited our sanctuary in Fair Oaks, Ca. I was rather late to arrive and as I walked toward the fellowship hall I came upon Phil outside, praying & preparing himself for the performance to come. I stopped and asked if I might talk with him or if he wanted the time alone. His answer was, "Brother, 'Where two or more are gathered...' Have a sit, let's talk for a few". He was one of the most sincere, peaceful & gently intense persons I've met, exuding warmth with insight while simultaneously commanding respect and displaying endearing humility. Of this man it must be said, "What a Man of God" .

I Became An Instant Fan Of Phil’s The Moment I Put His Record “What A Day” On My Turntable In June Of 1973…

[@ianedmonds9191]

He is one of THE best guitarists in the world.As a non-Christian I'm always flabbergasted by his ability and his lack of exposure.I know he's happy in the world of Christian music but the world would benefit from knowing more about this man.Luv and Peace.

[@davedwave7]

Good word Ian. I’m glad Fil from Wings of Pegasus has given Phil Keagy some attention.

[@Canada4Israel]

Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up and greatly exalted. Just as many were astonished at you, My people, So His appearance was marred more than any man And His form more than the sons of men. Thus He will sprinkle many nations, Kings will shut their mouths on account of Him; For what had not been told them they will see, And what they had not heard they will understand. Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the living For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due? His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth. But the Lord was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand. As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities. Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors. Isaiah 52: 13- 53:12

Ian...Jesus loves you with an everlasting love

[@mauriceant8746]

I have loved his music for 40 years. An Inspirational master guitarist, a humble musician who's words can melt the hardest of hearts.

[@timeno1763]

As a former rocker of sorts, it was always interesting to me how many attendees of Phil's concerts showed up in AC/DC (and other bands) shirts, and waited in line for a 'front row' seat. Mr. Keaggy's talent and abilities are rightly recognized across the lines of genré and life philosophies. God Bless Phil Keaggy !!!

[@JustFishin777]

I met Phil while serving as an usher for one of his concerts at a church in Fontana, CA. He took a few minutes before the concert to talk with those of us who were doing the ushering. Phil truly is a man of God and, truly, a nice man. I hope to meet him again sometime. I was a novice guitarist at the time, so his talent blew me away and still does.

[@saintmichael1874]

I was in the Navy. USN. Crossed the Equator 12 times before I was 20. I became a Christian in my dorm room alone. McKinley Home for Boys 1979

[@saintmichael1874]

I crossed the Pacific listening to Phil Keaggy on a Sony cassette player. 500 ft ship...up and down the waves...all night all day and on weekends.

[@shaerayb4520]

Ahhhh, the guitar master. I know of no other that can play like him. Great showman with a pure heart for God.

[@karnemckillip4290]

Who could come away sad, after being in the presence of Phil Keaggy?!! Thanks for inviting him to Your living room!! Uber talented!!

[@misterstratocaster]

Watching Phil play is always a humbling experience for any guitar player. I've seen him many times through the years - solo & with a band - met him several times. Incredible musician and a humble believer.

[@jodyirwin1046]

Who else is watching this amazing delivery of some of the best music that would lift any heart above the day’s troubles? Thank you for it and God bless you all for sharing it with us.

[@ebnphlo]

Phil will always my favorite musician of all, not only of his extraordinary talent & creativity but also because he is a real person of upright character. And his wife, Bernadette, is definitely a precious gem to share Phil with us all these decades. Thank you, Phil & Bernadette.

[@Mootube1980]

Probably Phil didn't invent looping, but he has got to be undisputedly the best at it. I never get tired of watching/listening to that!

[@tcstrackteam]

How can you not absolutely love this music! Thank you Phil!

[@MrTomanderson76]

How I would have loved to be in such an intimate setting and attend this concert! I am a fellow guitarist and am a really longtime admirerer of Phil. Not just his talent but of his humility as well.

[@meljp2967]

Always a Spiritual Treat to Hear Phil play & sing... Was Blessed to see him play Live in Toronto & also Kingdom Bound Fest. in Darien Lake,N.Y. over the Yrs! Glory to God, in Christ for his wonderful {Gifts}; legacy of Music & Love! ✝️💟☘️🙏🎶🙂🍁🐑🐑🐑❤️🐢🌊🦢🌊 🦋🦅🇨🇦✌️👍🌄🏖️

[@mikebolognese7134]

How can anyone not love such a good and humble person? Such a blessing to me.

[@Machineguntom3]

World class musicianship there!

[@vegasblt]

I went to see him last night again in Ohio, truly and amazing artist. I loved then use of technology. He is multifaceted and brings glory to God with his humble attitude. I am grateful I could be there.

[@robsylvia6546]

That tribute song...wow. What a beautiful heart Phil has. The first Christian musician I heard after my conversion in '78, a fan ever since. His music brings me so much joy.

[@steveedward5074]

He makes heaven seem real, because it is.

[@anthonyvaughan6470]

HIS VOICE HAS A PAUL McCARTNEY QUALITY !

[@elishaschwartz1697]

Couldn’t help but cry during “How Could I Thank You.” What a beautiful song. I not only thought of the words Phil were singing for his sister, Mary Ellen, but I also thought of all the times Phil Keaggy’s music ministered to me during some tough times. I can’t help but think- how could I thank you, Phil? Praise the Lord :) ❤︎

[@flexmarchetti]

Amazing talent! God is s still using this as a blessing to many.. thank you phil

[@lindaduncan4970]

the heart of matter: Jesus said the meek will inherit the kingdom. Phil's music is spirit filled and gentle in spirit...not ego driven or self serving.

[@Dksnfam]

+Linda Duncan spot on Linda.  Saw him play in Sydney one time, he turned a lite Christian pop concert into a Holy Spirit worship event.  He went low, God showed up.  Always have time for Phil.

[@WorshipperofGod]

Linda, are you possibly married to the famous "Brian Duncan?"

[@kristyschmidt2645]

I had listened to a lot of Phil's music when i was first saved in the early 80s. Had no idea about what a fabulous musician he really was then. What a gift! Thank you Phil.

[@jameshendee4489]

Oh to be invited to a private concert like this by Phil Keaggy...

[@ByDesign333]

Soon after Phils What A Day album came out; and i played it to death; he did a free mini concert (Allendale or Glen Rock NJ?). I was sure to get front pew, which had me less than 2 arms length from him playing; love this ɓrothers presence; he is so childlike and artist-wise, very fine. His stand against abortion deeply touched me as he spoke of his heart over the issue. God bless Phil Kaeggy! Thank you for your pure God-glorifying music. It reminds me of how J S Bach did his music for the Lord.

[@saintmichael1874]

Wow thank God for your sister. LoL Amen thats just sooo cool.

[@horstdudszus7256]

I never met Phil here in Germany...uncomparable!!!

[@horstdudszus7256]

What a great concert. He is so real and such a great artist!

[@wpankey57]

I love Phil Keaggy! Since the 70's he's been creating great music and great memories of "time in the Lord."

[@SuperLin55]

I have got to get my guitar strung for CHRISTMAS...Phil inspires us all...

[@brianthompson5521]

Phil will be blessing people with his music for all eternity! Yes he as millions of others will continue to make happy music after he gets to Heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jetsonwhite888]

If you've ever been to a Paul McCartney concert, his voice is completely shot. Phil's OTOH is still golden!

[@carlsantavicca1318]

Phill your a incredible man of God Almighty ,and for that I thank our Father, and I thank you to.. Jesus is Lord for all will believe, Again I thank you for your Love , Devotion , & Surrender to helper the Holy Spirit.

[@theresecrouch2924]

[@drumdiscussion7776]

Such a beautiful sound of❤ praising God with his gifts. We are blessed to be so inspired with his words and music.

[@MicheleGioiello]

There is no better musician in the world!

[@WorshipperofGod]

Can't confirm this, but heard that Rolling Stone Mag once asked Jimmy Hendrix how it felt to be the greatest guitarist in the world & his reply was "I don't know, go ask Phil Keaggy!" Rock on brother

[@ritam9132]

I always thought that quote was attributed to Clapton.

[@WorshipperofGod]

Rita M 913 well Rita that could very well be true, but until I see the actual RS piece Im sticking with the original

[@ritam9132]

I think you're right. Sorry 'bout that.

[@mikekadell3543]

Phil said it didn’t happen. He and jimmy were lable mattes but jimmy passed before Phil’s album came out.

[@JC-DC]

I heard Phil recorded at Electric Ladyland studios so I always guessed Jimi heard the tapes of Phil but they never met. And there is a clip on here somewhere of the Dick Cavett show asking Jimi the question.

[@johncardinali]

He has been an influence on me since I moved from the L.A music scene,I put away my instruments until I heard Phil and the Blessed me songs, friends, a family of musicians I beleave it was because Phil is faithful to God.Praise to the king of Glory!

[@chiptrimble]

John Cardinali Might have him at a small venue concert in the South Bay June 18'!!! Stay tuned..., watch events calendar at KKLA and PhilKeaggy.com!

[@alandrew1973]

Simply the best !

[@lw216316]

brother Tom - no doubt .... love that opening comment - the Lord has a place for us all - now there is a loaded comment does he mean we are all God's children and we all go to heaven (universalism) ? surely not Truth is - the Lord has a place for His children and another place for those who are not.

[@ipa6855]

Just great!

[@tickster123]

Please bring on Dallas Holm and Terry Clark. Thanks

Didn't know Paul McCartney converted to Christianity. Seems to have upgraded his guitar skills somewhat too.

Jimmy Hendrix said that Phil Keaggy was the best guitarist in the world.

[@lex.cordis]

No, that's it very common myth. Phil is indeed one of the best guitar players to ever live though.

Love this but there seems to be a lot of splitting up of the songs.

Wait a second . . . Mary Ellen Kaye is Phil's sister?

Artistry in action and ask Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Hendrix, all the other guitarists to sit down and listen to this pickin' ///Psalm 96 Oh SING (emphasis mine) to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! 2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. 3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! 4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. 6 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the people, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
