Phil Keaggy - "Salvation Army Band" (On The Ph'lip Side)

Phil Keaggy performing his classic "Salvation Army Band" live from Two Old Hippies in Nashville, TN. From the DVD, Phil Keaggy - "On The Ph'lip Side."

[@driver3605]

Who needs a band? He just does it all by himself.

[@FreewheelinFranklin]

I met Phil at a gig he did in the 80`s at a Christian book store, He is the worlds best guitar player I have ever heard and I had all his albums.

[@hasielove]

if this guy was singing about chicks and whiskey he'd be packing out stadiums!instead he plays relatively humble venues and still blows people away. in my opinion best guitarist EVER to walk this earth.

[@frddybear]

Amen!!!

[@andrewpegman7959]

Slowjamguitar yes, of his style. But there are better classical guitarists, such as John Williams or Julian Bream

[@hasielove]

@@andrewpegman7959 cool, I can respect that opinion!

[@soundpainter2590]

@@andrewpegman7959 He's Not playing a "Classical Guitar" or.. attempting to play Classical or Flamenco ... But.. Who knows what he has, Up his sleeve?

[@andrewpegman7959]

Post posterous I know. My point is no one is the best guitarist because there are so many styles 😊

[@colbygraham8146]

Hello everyone! Thank you for the kind words. This clip came from a school project at MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University). We were tasked with orchestrating a live concert with Phil and I directed and was one of many editors on the final DVD. Unfortunately, at this moment the DVD is only for the students, faculty, and Phil. I wish that Phil would distribute it because as you know he is an amazing musician. Again, thanks for watching and for the kind words.

[@dmmusicmusic]

yeah colby, I used to play a lick; this one of my favorite clips, love it never gets old. thanks and God bless.

[@dijopaulson]

I was always dreaming of becoming popular musically. Now I understand why god has given people such talents. Only to praise him. This man could have been more popular but he chose the path of The Lord and this is the result when you give your heart to god. I also want to become a part of The Salvation Army band.

[@dmmusicmusic]

@ Dijo Paulson; so brother did you "join the band" yet? I used to pastor a church in Belgium and especially amongst some of the guys we used to refer to ourselves as Band of brothers like the HBO show based on the WWII Easy company, it was great, and everyone of us could have sung this song with sincerity.

[@tevetorbes456]

You feel like you know Phil just by listening to his music. True passion and talent from a man who is humble enough to serve the king of kings and lord of lords.

[@oldandgrey7099]

I have had the pleasure of being behind the mixer while he was playing on quite a few occasions. Hard to mix when you are stupefied by his playing.

[@Nirsterkur]

Every single cell in my body loves and respects Phil and his Incredible Music and Guitar Wizardry more than I can ever say! ❤️🇺🇲

[@bryanvickers]

3:58 that first lick is straight from Clapton's first solo on Sunshine of Your Love. So cool the way he pays tribute and you can see his little smile because he knows not many are in on his own little inside joke. I love Phil.

[@12nicky34]

Yes and Eric's solo is straight from the melody of 'blue moon' which was written in 1934 by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. 👍

[@pdodo388]

Good ear and good catch

“Saved to serve” was mentioned in our service this morning! Phil has truly served for decades the love of Jesus! Holy Spirit just plays thru him the heavenly love song…come to Me all who was weary and receive His rest.

[@jimchumley6568]

The master and the masters musician Phil Keaggy.

[@jerrywall8878]

He still has the voice! Hasn’t changed since the 60’s.

[@timalexander6252]

I listened to "This Time Through" and then played this song and his voice stood out so much. Unchanged and still can hit the notes. Then I watched his hands and was even more amazed.

[@ScottCrozier]

Isn't that amazing? He still has that range!

[@johnnirum6807]

Whoo. Why have I not found this videos with Phil until now but better late than never. I have some of his old vinyl LP in my collection but this was amazing. One man band. Blessings to ya all

[@mulemusic]

The people who didn't like this probably don't like Phil's Christian message, and that's Okay. I have known Phil as a friend since 1970 and I know he is a Christian first, and music is his livelihood. He wouldn't be bothered by the dislikes and it certainly wouldn't keep him up at night. I suspect the people who gave the thumbs down aren't guitarists or they would understand just how proficient Phil is. He truly is one of the best on the planet. He doesn't need defending and would probably just hope that there would be no negative comments to those who don't like his music. He's an honorable man. Stay positive!!!

[@andrewpegman7959]

mulemusic no? I’m a Christian and guitarist, but not a fan of this particular music. But I like some of his other pieces. He’s good, but nowhere near as skilled as performers like John Williams or Julian Bream. But they’re different guitar styles 💁🏻‍♀️

[@popjax2465]

mulemusic 100% right!

[@francoiscollet6101]

Phil Keaggy is undoubtably one of the best guitar players I've ever heard! He is also, and mostly, a gentle and humble person!

[@ryedylantm]

Singing and live looping at the same time,the riff,the licks,mind-blowing.Phil is blessed to have such talent.

[@edwardajaj]

Sweet Salvation Army Band

[@chiptrimble]

I have been following Phil since the early 70's and am so grateful to Father for Phil! The looped harmonies into the sins hole then playing the chorus at the end while singing is over the top amazing. The whole presentation is so distal that few, I think, even get the complexity and grasp Phil has! Love ya Phil!

[@beachboy67]

Hands down the greatest live guitar performance I have ever seen....👏🔥✨🌟👌👍🙌😍😲...whaaaat... Phil Keaggy​! What a legend. For all of you musicians out there you would definitely agree with me. And more importantly he does it for Jesus :-) Psalm 33:2-3 2 Praise the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. 3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

[@johndonovan1014]

The five who gave the "thumbs down" for this truly need counseling. SMH.

Just saw Phil live again last night. Simply amazing are the only words that come to mind. If you've never seen him live, keep an eye out for when he is close by. Certainly worth whatever the price of the ticket.

[@bruhe]

Thomas Evans I’ve seen him more times than I can count and I can’t remember paying over 25 bucks once and a lot of them were free.

[@kennethkrueger5357]

Seen him more than a half dozen times. The largest venue was packed. Standing room only left. He played for two hours straight then he realized that people started heading to the bathrooms and we needed a break. He played another hour after the intermission. It was awesome.

[@FedUpFingers]

Not a big enough audience here! Everyone needs to hear this.

[@lyonhartmusick]

AGREED!

Jimi Hendrix said on David Frost interview that Phil Keaggy was the best. I asked Keaggy had he heard that and he said yes but he hadn't seen the interview.

[@bentighe4811]

That story has also been told about Terry Kath and Billy Gibbons. One variation has Hendrix saying it on David Frost and another says it was the Dick Cavett Show. The truth is it probably never happened.

Colby thx for sharing this.. Phil is just amazing! I was in Texas for many years and was fortunate to see Phil over 5 times live.. I remember the first Time I saw this concert, without his complete band, and I was upset until I witnessed how phenomenal his acoustic/solo concert is!! I was lucky to see him and be exposed to him.. I feel fortunate as a musician to have been influenced by such a great person and great artist. His use of delay and looping is incredible. He is s guitar phenom yet humble and truly blessed and a great witness for the Lord.
