Keaggy's guitar playing is so captivating it took my halfway through the video to notice he's wearing a crocheted tank top over a dress shirt .

Insane that Keaggy's only 21 in this video and already 6 years into a live music career. Such a cornucopia of musical talent.

I know Phil made his own career choice and took the path he wanted to take. But if he had not gone into Christian rock, he would be considered the greatest guitar hero above anyone else.

Great music from 50 years ago - Phil has always been inspiring spiritually and musically.

I might be wrong, but I think that Leland Sklar some time after this acquired Dan's bass. He (Leland) very briefly showcased it in one of his YT vids titled .546 Phil Keaggy. As he was talking about his time recording on Phil's 2nd album Love Broke Thru.

Big fan here, among others (from the Philippines), in the early 80s. I’ve heard of his early days and Glass Harp. Now I’ve seen it. This is treasure.

This was a surprise! Never knew that Phil was with these guys-Fabulous!

Nobody was playing like this in 1972. Literally nobody. He was super clean and fast but also played with soul. Page was on fire at this time as well but he was very much blues based and still could be very sloppy. I say that as a huge Jimmy page fan. People like John McLaughlin we're considered 'the fastest' but they still just didn't have the feel that Phil had.

One of my new, old favorite bands in these days of m r n a casualties in our own countries but lets not mention it. Or if we do - deny or play down. Did propaganda in the indoctrination camp work this well in the seventies?

Extremely great and underrated guitarist

I watched this back in 1972!

Par Excellence!

The concert you're watching according to Google was a PBS concert recorded at WVIZ Studios in Cleveland, OH on February 25, 1972

“Praise the Lord”, remember God loves you”…Wow, just a virtuoso serving the savior.. Amen!

I was in a band back in the late 60's early 70's called Felix Harp from Trafford PA. We started playing some of the same clubs as Glass Harp. We thought they stole half of our name, haha. Later we found out they were together several years befor we started so it was just a coincidence. We eventually played a gig together opening up for Mitch Ryder. Felix Harp opened the show, then Glass Harp and Mitch Ryder as the top billing. That was the first time we heard Phil Keaggy. Wow! What an amazing guitar player. The rest of the band were very accomplished as well but Phil definitely stood out! Here's a fact not too many people know. Shortly after Phil Keaggy left Glass Harp to become a Christian artist. I'm not sure who exactly it was from the band, but they tried to recruit our guitar player, Billy Hricsina to replace Phil. That's how incedible Billy was, rest his soul.

Wow

37:35 that foot speed 😳

WHOA awesome!!!

Why did RUclips put an ad for Free IRS E-File right in the middle of Phil's solo? That action made sure I'll never, ever use that tax-service. And wishing there will one day be an alternative to RUclips that isn't run by Google.

Badass I remember that

Technically brilliant however Keaggy is not a distinctive voice on the instrument. He can play anything in any style with jaw dropping virtiousity, but he is not an instantly recognizable player. He also can be a bit dirivative, especially in his early work. When you listen to Hendrix, Page, Clapton, and I will add Ritchie Blackmore, you know who they are after hearing a few notes. To me, Keaggy can sound a bit generic, but that could be because of the sheer plether of genres he has recorded in. Glass Harp was a good band, but a bit under-developed. It sounds like a bunch of jams with vocals inserted and it gets tedious to my ear. To me, Keaggy's guitar playing is best exemplified on the albums THE WIND AND THE WHEAT and BEYOND NATURE. Vocally I feel FIND ME IN THESE FIELDS to be his most complete record. I met him after a concert I attended in Minnesota and told him how much I loved FIND ME IN THESE FIELDS, and he said that he felt at the time that it was his most transparent album. I have found that the sheer volume of material released, especially mid to later career, made me lose interest.

Escuché por primera vez a Phil Keaggy en los 90s con su bello disco instrumental Beyond Nature (1991), había oído nombrar a Glass Harp y hasta ahora los escucho. Tremendo Super Trío.

Phil's Pedal Board is incredible!

Original Prog Rock

I'm from Cleveland. Love Joe Walsh/James Gang and these guys. But seriously, who gets credit vs. who "got it"?????

like Hendrix, Clapton and Beck rolled into one.

I’ve got one of their records!❤🎉

Incrível 💯🩷

what can I say they're aswesome Thanks for the editing and uploading

The drum solo, my band teacher used to say that was Killin' Snakes!. Lol.

Absolutely incredible guitarist and criminally underrated. He’s at the top of every list with Clapton, Hendrix and Page.

Wow what a cool show demonstrating what was to become a great group of musicians and a powerful message to the world!

Had the chance of meeting Mr. Keaggy a couple of times when our organization scheduled concerts. You could talk with the guy for a long time and not perceive any of the egotism commonly associated with exceptionally great musicians. He would rather talk about his wife and kids.

God bless you all! I love that band! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Wow l think Phil's playing in his Glass Harp days was 🔥 fire. First time I've heard this!

Cool to see Glass Harp in '72! Brilliant stuff!

I know this was a LOUD concert looking at the equipment.

amazing musicianship even by today's standards. I love these guys. Thanks to Billy Blues Lewandowski for the turn on in 1973

Good music, good times

Followed Phil and Harp from their beginnings. Played locally often.. I recorded this on a portable cassette from the TV when it aired. Lent it out and not returned. This really brings back memories.

My first concert at the Orpheum was Glass Harp, Yes and Humble Pie, amazing artists, I've followed Phil for years and was finally able to see him again in So Cal solo.

Incredible. Thanks for sharing this. What a band. What talent. (Keaggy creating sound effects with playing technique, volume swells with volume knob on the guitar, etc.) (And the bass player plays, bass, guitar and flute?) (And drums and guitar too?) (And songs written and vocals by all three.) And a message worth hearing. One of the little known bands that make you wonder how it is that everyone doesn't know the name Glass Harp and the names of these band members.

Wow!

Amazing 72

beautiful music miss that

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phil was an early idol. NE Ohio. 1972. Did "Changes" in my 7th grade band -- or tried! Attempted "Never Is A Long Time". That didn't work out as well lol.. Then Daniel shows up in the Michael Stanley Band. Thought that was cool. Never realized how long Phil's pinky fingers are.

Circa? What is this Ancient Greek history? How hard vould it be to pin down the date?

As Great as Jimi Hendrix Experience, or Claptons, Cream, very tight band, Jesus is Lord in this Band, Very Blessed!!!
