Just saw Phil Keaggy last night on the 30 year "The Master and the Musician" tour - it was amazing!!

I wrote this in my blog -

Wow!

Phil Keaggy was awesome last night!
His amazing guitar talent is something to behold.
But he brought with him a world class band too!

Tom Shiness - Played a little of everything! A cello (or maybe it was a viola), guitar, bass, percussion, and most amazingly, a guitar harp! To see him play this guitar harp - go here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDQ5sdGDoG4

John Sferra - Phenominal drummer!! He also played guitar on one piece. He and Phil go way back to the early days of Glass Harp some 40 years ago!

Melissa Lautenbach - Flutes. She and Phil traded licks on a song - until she gave up!

Bryan J. Lautenbach - Keys. Husband of Melissa

Joel Jimenez - Bass, a bunch of percussion instruments and "trusty road manager"

Ric Hordinski - Guitars. He was a founding member of the amazing band Over the Rhine

The band was so great! They traveled through the entire Master and the Musician disk with the exception of "Epilogue/Amazing Grace". They made us wait a while for that. Instead they took a little break and came back to play some of Phil's popular vocal songs. Then they closed the set with the aforementioned "Epilogue/Amazing Grace".
Musicians of this caliber are truly inspirational!

I strongly recommend you go check out his myspace page and give a listen!

Yep, I love Phil. I saw him put on one HELL of a one man show back in 1996 on the True Believer tour. That album meant a LOT to me when it came out. WAY UP!

I heard he and Jason Truby (Living Sacrifice, POD, his own solo material) are collaborating. I am HIGHLY anticipating that as Troob is brilliant in his own right

I have heard nothing but good things about Phil Keaggy for a long time, and have been meaning to check his stuff out. Any recommendations on where to begin? (I know he's been around a long time and has quite a back catalogue!)

Subject: Re: Phil Keaggy Thu Apr 24, 2008 10:19 pm

Just depends what you want

for good pop rock/classic-ish rock I would recommend Sunday's Child or Crimson and Blue(?)

Instrumental- Wind in the Wheat, Master and the Musician

He has a great two volume collection titled Time, which is a good overview of much of his career.

True Believer and Crimson and Blue are great. I really like his bluesy style the most.

Play Thru Me is also a great album
