Phil Keaggy - Time (1980)

[@donguthridge4888]

anyone listening to this in 2024?

Gets better every listen.

[@nataliethomas4617]

Absolutely

[@paulkubas4700]

Yes

[@E.K.izzlemynizzle]

how and why am i just now discovering this?? this is actually KILLER

[@ToneNailer]

Right? This dudes phrasing is wicked awesome. Killer backing band.

[@douglasharvey2808]

I saw him in concert 3 times, met him too. What a humble man! I still think he is the best guitarist ever, especially when I saw him lead and rhythm guitar at the same time!

[@moonmunster]

I saw him play about this time. May a year later. It looks like the same band he had. Erie, PA Waldamere Ballroom. Not very many people were there. Played about 3 hours. Solo for the middle hour. It was great. The only song name I remember was "Sunday School" He wondered why such a negative song got such a positive reaction.

[@blazinchalice]

Jimi was known for playing lead and rhythm at the same time, as can be heard on Little Wing and Castles Made of Sand. Hendrix was an innovator, and many great guitarists followed his lead.

[@billbrant4506]

Such a great sound definitely one of the Best and a Great message with this tune!! Keaggy rules 🔥🔥

[@GTX1123]

I saw Phil live over 10X in the 1980's. Every show was tremendous. The first time was 2 months before this video was filmed. Instead of playing his usual Les Paul or Strat, Phil had a never before seen, prototype guitar someone loaned him for that show. That "someone" was actually there that night. It was none other than Paul Reed Smith.

[@Rupert14]

What happens when a guitarist as good as Jimi Hendrix finds the Lord? Phil Keaggy, that's what.

[@jamesaburke7]

Sure Phil is talented, and Jimi left that one blurb in a guitar magazine, but to compare the two musicians is fairly silly. Jimi played on another level.

[@tinadavis9796]

Amen, and HALLELUJAH!!

[@bikerhighmiler8998]

​@@jamesaburke7have you listened to All of Phil Keaggy's works?? You may be surprised, and change your mind a bit.😊

[@jamujesperandersen8699]

Actually Jimi was once afsked how it did feel to be the worlds best guitarplayer - he replied “don’t know - ask Phil Keaggy”

[@bluebird925]

​@@jamujesperandersen8699WOW!!!

[@KickflipGnasty]

Man, gotta love Phil Keaggy. One of the most incredible players of all time.

[@davidstair9657]

I was saved in 1995. I dropped the band, the death metal, and in my ignorance, I thought, “well, if Jesus is all about hymns, then so be it!”…. Then I found an old cassette of a band called “Jerusalem”…. Blew my mind, the I discovered Phil!!! Jesus, he made music! Thus, we should play it as unto Him, and there shall be prog rock, unto Him. Tis as good thing!

[@216trixie]

I forgot about Jerusalem. I had their album on vinyl. They rocked. One of the few Christian bands that were rocking.

[@richresident4377]

Yes.. ❤

[@szilardfineascovasa6144]

Plenty of incredible Chrisyian bands in all genres of metal await you to discover them 🙂.

[@kidflersh7807]

I'm a stickler for hymns only in church, but outside, this is fine

[@jamesaburke7]

I like death metal and Phil’s music. I do not discriminate based on a songwriters beliefs. A good songwriter and musician are good, no matter what they personally think to be true.

[@JimChumley]

Surreal guitarist and extremely prolific writer. Saw Phil Keaggy 8 times. He never charged alot of money. My favorite song was Salvation Army Band.

[@mootbooxle]

One of the best riffs I’ve ever heard! I wore out this album in my teens and 20s! I love this arrangement here where they harmonize that amazing riff. Phil is one of the best musicians to ever pick up a guitar!

[@ToneNailer]

Dudes rocking in sweaters…. My kind of rocking.

[@slaphead8835]

This is a great example of Phil's prowess as an electric lead guitarist. Absolutely dazzling. If you like this as much as I do, keep searching for some of his acoustic work. His guitar is truly an extension of the man. Definitely a gift.

[@genemodarelli8506]

Amazing

[@bikerhighmiler8998]

Agreed wholeheartedly

[@musicken33]

I was at a workshop Phil did a couple of years ago. I asked him what feeds his musical imagination. He said he listens to a lot of classical music. And he autographed my guitar. :)

[@bikerhighmiler8998]

@musicken33 great memories!! Thanks!!

[@dpskiff2998]

Love this song. I'd like to preach a message based upon the lyrics! Time is running out! He's coming back!

[@LastDays2024]

Will he find faith on the Earth when he comes back?

[@WolfDaddy81]

Been listening to phil my whole life, my dad has been to so many concerts he knows phil now, like he will recognize my dad in the audience and wave to him, we were able to arrange a semi private concert for my dad's birthday a few years ago, phil and his wife were great, they went out to dinner with my parents and then at the concert asked what Playlist we had for him, we told him we just wanted him there do whatever he wanted. He was very appreciative as he had just come from a gruling and hot outdoor event. Very cool and talented dude. We were able to do the same thing with Paul Clark ,who dad also knows, for my mother's birthday I wasn't able to make that trip but he came to their house after for a cookout.

[@giuseppepippozappala]

Thank you Phil, to share your memories. Through its Italian translation, the Lord has used this song for His glory here in Italy. That was the time I gave my life to Jesus. God bless you and everything that surrounds your life, family and Church ❤

[@rebeccacirillo2494]

Ooh, can you post a link to the Italian version? I'm trying to learn it

[@giuseppepippozappala]

So sorry, Rebecca, I couldn't find any audio or video about that. It was a faithful translation of the original. God bless you and everyone of us in these difficult days, where we can see what the Word of God is announcing since thousands of years about the coming end of TIME🙏

[@DaKidd62]

I got to meet him multiple times, because his aunt was friends with my mom and I would take her to his concerts. His talent speaks for itself, but what I felt in The Spirit when he would come near or sit next to me was rather surprising. Talk about a buzz!

Incredible... Master still today tops by far.. 1st heard 83

[@larryplante4483]

Met him one night after he left Glass Harp. In Youngstown,Ohio - his home Town. Got saved that night & the next day gave a concert on a flatbed trailer at the old Austintown high school. Great concert and one heck of a guy.

[@distantradiowaves]

Props to the sound guy...and wow those guitar tones are so good! Drums are tuned deep an dry, just great overall - and the lyrics really make you stop and think about what you're doing.

[@boulevardblueband]

A magnificent song, voice and guitar player with a superb band. I saw Phil in college solo. He did this. His guitar sounded like an ocean. A gift to Phil, Phil a gift to us.

[@kylemcdearmont]

For someone of such immense talent to give the respective middle finger to the industry and play for the LORD!!!

[@netzexperte1488]

play for the Lord??? Or also for himelf, for his honour? And if yes, this music leads the artist and all who listen in the wrong way, away from the Lord Jesus.

[@szilardfineascovasa6144]

So fantastic, Time, when time is now more! Such amazing musicianship -- truly a platinum era of faith based music!

[@pricelittle1868]

....no more....(correction)

[@josephtabar492]

I totally love this tune despite not liking Christian rock as sounding too bubblegum. Phil Keggy smashes that notion with his Superior playing and singing abilities that could be easily confused with the Beetle Paul McCartney. On my bucket list before I die I would love a chance to see Phil Keaggy play live. 🎸

[@donmcc6573]

I wouldn't call Rez Band "bubblegum." You need to listen to more Christian rock.

[@kathyrussell9490]

Really hope you can! I saw him in a solo performance decades ago. Would love to again!

born again dude, in 1980. Solid act , advanced player with chops for 1980 ; tenor voice and everything ! Talking about spiritual stuff= not commercial in 1980 . Still , what a natural talent

He's an amazing guitarist. One of the first to use the ebow.

[@artdecco8617]

He played at Mentor High School, Mentor , Ohio..........in my teenager years. Wish I hadn't sold my 1952 Les Paul.........

[@user-ig7nq7pc7k]

Fantastic. 1980! Way ahead of his time.

[@SergeUnplugged]

Ahead of time indeed

[@beameup64]

Saw him in a small Calvary Chapel church in So. California around 1983. He had just finished the Rit tour. This is definitely Contemporary Christian music.

[@LydianLunch]

I’m not a born again Christian but I’ve been a fan of Phil’s since first hearing him around 1981 or’82. I heard him on an album called How The West Was One, and that was it. I think like a lot of people I respond to spirituality in music, whether it’s John Coltrane, John McLaghlin or anyone else. Artists reach down deep, connect with their soul and somehow turn that into music. It’s a beautiful thing. People should also listen to the band Phil had before going solo, Glass Harp. Some great music there, too.

[@kurtweiand7086]

Can't believe how good Phil can sing. Reminds me of Paul. That other guitar 🎸 player was really good, a good compliment to Phil!

[@rexcarroll]

Brilliant song by THE MAN Phil Keaggy!

Still, to this day, my favorite Keaggy, Sunday's Child, Find Me in these Fields and Crimson and Blue... All masterpieces!!! Thanks for being part of the soundtrack of my life!!!!

[@4givenembracd618]

Saw Phil perform this when he was touring right after it was released. So many people in the audience got up in a huff, clutching their pearls. Imagine! A Christian playing an electric gee-tar!

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

I don’t understand why we don’t have guitarists that can play, in bands like Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Hillsongs United, bethel music, Lauren Daigle. All a bunch of non playing guitarists. ( or “ non playing musicians”, as miles Davis used to say). In every band mentioned, and more. As musicians and Christian musicians, we have gone backwards in the 44 years when this was recorded. I’m not saying that those Christian guitarists should try to copy Phil, but they don’t even try and make an attempt at soloing in their own voice. At all. Musical bondage for the guitarists in the above mentioned bands

I love Phil. I've seen him twice. Once was with Randy Stonehill where they played together. I even shook his hand. But sorry, time never ends. There is not an end to time, for to put one thought after another, you must have time. And to worship God around the throne in heaven takes... TIME! I have no idea where the church came up with the notion that time eventually comes to an end. Maybe from the phrase "when time will be no more" in the great hymn, "When We All Get To Heaven." God is the God who is, who was, and who is to come! And we will live with him forever and ever. That's TIME!
