Its hard to describe the initial, and lasting effect these guys have had on my life. Their hearts, their ministry (which went way beyond music), and the live shows. Eddie running around the whole place with his keyboard strapped on like Edgar Winter...And always, the everlasting gospel of God's amazing grace. .
Amazing what hasn't changed. Seeing and hearing this: it's like being right back there. First saw them in 1981 (many later). It's the same feeling and spirit. Yes, the outward is decaying (!), but the inward is being renewed day by day. I mean, Dana's been up there jammin for a while, waiting on the rest of us. John 14:1-3 Blessings on all God's people 💙
My sister came to know Christ at one of their concerts in the 1980’s. God has used her to lead many kids and teens to Christ. Thank you for your music and ministry D&K!
Fantastic! We brought a friend to a show, an old party-girl friend of my ex's. She was kinda mad @ first like, What's this Jesus stuff? Cuz you know how Dana preaches, right? Loving..and direct. She wasn't saved that night; hopefully a good seed was planted
DeGarmo and Key I have every one of your albums and I am 45 and I have been listening to you rockers since I was a young boy.... I pray our Father blesses you abundantly 🙏🙏🙏
When I was a kid, my dad played their music for me, usually when we were driving somewhere. It didn't take me long to pick up the guitar. Fast forward 20+ years later, I currently play guitar, bass, and drums at my church. And I recently got a guitar I had built through Warmoth Guitars that is a Dana Key tribute build. That guitar looks similar, but not identical to the one Dana is playing in this show. This band is what God used to inspire me to be a musician. I'm forever grateful for that. Glory to God. I hope Dana and I get to play guitar together sometime in eternity. ♥️
D&K is one of my all time favorites! I saw them in Anderson Indiana one year. I took a friend. He accepted Christ that night. So thankful for these and their ministry!!
This must have been one of the last performances of D&Key before a blood clot stopped Dana's heart (but didn't take his life. He's not resting, he is at peace, jamming with & for the Lord.

@@JustJeph33 Tons of claims that Christians were making that were false, biblical contradictions, the conflict between the concept of prayer & the divine plan, lack of physical evidence of God's existence, Jesus behaving ultimately like a cult leader using tactics much akin to that of David Koresh, Jim Jones & Shoko Asahara, who like in Luke 12:26, used that sort of order to keep their followers secluded from the world & from their families, and ultimately the hypocrisy behind many popular Christians like Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Ken Copeland, Jimmy Baker, Jimmy Swaggart & Oral Roberts. Doesn't stop me from coming back to listen to D&K. There's childhood nostalgia involved & I still stand on the claim that he's amongst the 5 greatest male vocalists I've ever heard.
Phil, we can't control anyone's life. When we stand before God, we won't have to answer for anyone but ourselves! But, remember, eternity is forever. Once you're dead there's ,no coming back! All it takes is 5 little words, Jesus, forgive me of my sins!!! I hope you ask for forgiveness. You're not asking for anyone else but you. 👍
This was the rock n roll I grew up on. To Extremes was the album my mom would play. I was 8 in 93 so I missed a lot of their hey day but man....these guys can play! Dana Key is a shredder on guitar dang!
My favorite Christian band, along with Petra. I was raised on this band. Sure do miss them, and miss watching Dana Key perform. I hope you're enjoying heaven sir.
I'm so glad that I can listen to the songs of your band that I liked so much in the past. Especially, I enjoyed listening to 666. As a Christian, I used to be radical, but now everything is a memory. Now I pursue the balance of faith and life. Thank you for helping me reminisce. Korean people in my country didn't know you and your songs well, but I happened to hear them abroad. I still love your songs. It's really the best! and all your songs is addictive. An old fan in Seoul, Korea.
Greetings, friend. Old fan from Florida. Being a Christian in 2024 is about the most radical thing there is. Standing righteously against the rising tide of evil, being faithful to the end, willing to face persecution, even martyrdom, if necessary. I don't know of anything so radical in this world, brother
Pioneers of Christian rock, thanks for this. Saw them in Grand Rapids- Rock Solid Tour. Dana now sings face to face to our Lord! Thanks Dana and Eddie!
Me and my two closest friends were like groupies to D&K . Never missed a concert when they came to town. Our favorite was Tommy Cathey. Had our picture taken with him so much he would remember us. He was the nicest man!
I recall a group of 20 something guys at a church I attended in 1980’s that loved DeGarmo and Key. I saw the Unsung Hero movie recently and it was interesting story with DeGarmo having a part in the story.
Thank you for posting this... WHAT A BLESSING!!!! I had the privilidge of seeing them play live 2 times. Once in 1987 and again in 1988. An up and coming act by the name of DC TALK opened for them in 1988. Eddie and Dana really had a heart for JESUS and I sincerely appreciate what they did for my Christian Walk in my younger days and their music is still a huge part of my life now!!!!!
Their music never goes away , as a new Christian I saw them when they were first arriving on the scene powerfully. Although music equipment is changing a lot I will still incorporate some of Dana's style into my playing. In Fact -->STREET LIGHT is exactly relevant right now today !
Oh such fond memories! D&K, Petra, Carmen... others... these men laid the foundations and paid the price... the Christian music on the radio now, is all a by- product from these fine men! So why is "they'r" music NOT played anymore? Thanks so much for posting this!
Jon Moore Because the radio stations are programmed to an industry now and the money now paid to christian entertainers is enormous. Things have changed alot since then.
Jim Chumley it's sad that christian music today has become all about the money and not the message. scripture says the love of money is the root of all evil.
Oh my! I've been looking for this concert footage since that concert. I sat at a banquet table slightly right of center next to two guys filming this concert from a small tripod mounted camera atop the table. I was sitting on the far right of that table because those two nice guys were nice enough to let me sit there! Could this have been you? Felt so privileged to see this concert. God bless you for sharing!!

True heroes of the faith. By faith they touched many lives, put the devil to flight, stayed true to their Lord, the Chief Musician.

The Eternal Jam, bro. We'll all be there!
D&K is one of my all time favorites! I saw them in Anderson Indiana one year. I took a friend. He accepted Christ that night. So thankful for these and their ministry!!
I love that Dana always had a message to go along with the music. Great band that meant so much to me and many others. Dana is missed!
Check online what His ministry is now!!

Man, does this bring back fantastic memories....
One of my favorite bands of all time! Thank you for uploading!!!! We miss Dana Key...........
I recall a group of 20 something guys at a church I attended in 1980’s that loved DeGarmo and Key.
I saw the Unsung Hero movie recently and it was interesting story with DeGarmo having a part in the story.
Loved these guys! They truly were inspirational to us in our early years of walking with Christ.
This is so great to see. Always one of my favorite Christian bands. Thx for sharing God's blessing. Can't wait to meet Dana on the other side.
Dana said, "my daddy always said 'if you can't tune it up Turn it up'"!
D&K...Rock Solid in every way and Mr. Key just went early and is keeping Heaven warm for us. Ready to meet him soon
What a steady drummer, one of the best in the field. Greg Morrow is well respected in Christian as well as secular ones. Check it out.
Is that Greg Morrow back there? He is one of the most recorded drummers in the world that most people have never heard of. Great player!
@@timothyray4440 You are right! Greg is a fabulous drummer! Absolute Nashville "A "gamer. And often unheard of 😆 it's nutts!

They were one of my favorite Christian groups! The message is still strong today.

Jon Moore Most of the christian music today really sucks. Neadtobreathe however is a different story.
80s was the best Era for Christian music
Degarmo and Key rocks 🎙🎸
Thank you for uploading this. D&K was one of my favorite bands in the late '80s and early '90s.
You're welcome! They've always been my favorite! Hopefully there will be even more unearthed gems in the near future.
dittoes
And still one of my favorite band

No, I didn't take the video and unfortunately I wasn't able to be there. I got this video from a fellow fan.
Glad to see Ed using an actual B-3 instead of a key-tar that sounds like one.
R.I.P. Dana.
🙏 Thank you Brothers There’s Freedom in Christ
I missed my 1 opportunity to see them, but a thunderstorm stopped it.
Ooooooooh!!!!!! Tommy!!!!!! I love you vocal part on Are You Ready :(.. bummer!
What an awesome Concert!!
Amen
Thank you for these videos. God bless you.
Never liked how soft they where but they was the coolest looking and had something undeniable about them
Shame on the people who disliked this 😕
Bummer, Tommys vocal got cut off.
Dang I miss Dana
I wonder if this was also recorded directly from the soundboard because I would love to get a soundboard copy of this amazing concert!
Was this at Cornerstone Baptist In Chattanooga?
No, this was the last Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, Illinois.
Is there anywhere I can purchase this?
No, there was never an official release of this concert. This was all shot from the audience.
