5.0 out of 5 stars Keith Green at his best..., May 21, 2008

While the audio and video quality is understandably poor, these clips from Keith Green concerts capture for us the most powerful moments of this short-lived musical legacy. While Keith's studio work was classic, his live worship events were life-shaking. Even in the initial studio recordings, the producers had to replicate a setting in which Keith was playing and singing at the same time. Simply singing on one track, then playing on another, failed to capture the tremendous spiritual energy in Keith.

This two disc set presents the artist in his purest, most powerful form. He has only his voice, a piano, and a large group of worshippers. It is the way I remember the concert I attended in 1979 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

If you want crystal clear, studio quality recordings of Keith, you'll need to look elsewhere. If you want to hear and see Keith at his best, and can get past the low quality audio and video, then this CD set for you is a must-buy.

Keith's studio recordings have been available in various arrangements for at least two decades. What has not been available until now is the live recordings of his musical events.

If you're a diehard fan of Keith Green like I am, buy this set. If you want to learn more about the personality and the ministry style of Keith Green, buy the set. If you just want more of the same studio quality material that's been available since the plan crashed in 1982, then order
more studio recordings.

For me, I couldn't have been happier with my purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome CD!, May 23, 2008

I couldn't wait to get this CD when I saw it was coming out! I picked it up the day it came out and haven't really stopped listening to it since. Contrary to what I read in previous reviews, I actually thought the sound quality was rather good considering it was live. And it also showed, to me, that Keith didn't need a band. He could do with just the Holy Spirit, the keys, and his voice, what many big name groups and individuals have failed to do, and that is impact an entire generation during his life and thousands ever since his untimely death. He didn't need a band to bring in the anointing. He carried it with him. I love that the raw intensity that was Keith Green really comes through in this release. Definitely worth picking up! I for one haven't stopped listening to it, and was also introduced to some songs I've never heard before that I've already added into my song set for church. I already use a lot of Keith's stuff when I lead worship, this only added to the selection. 5 star rating here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keith Green, Live Experience, Special Edition, August 18, 2009

What I see in Keith Green's ministry is an arrow pointing to Jesus, and a love for lost souls. He was truly born again! That's what comes through, and that's what he would have wanted to come through. Primarily, he was a minister and an evangelist who preached the Gospel using the gift of music that God had given him, and obeyed the Lord when he felt the Lord tell him not to charge for his music or charge to attend his concerts(which were more like worship services.) If you want to be refreshed, stirred and encouraged in the Lord, in a day when much of the preaching is sterile and passionless, and often void of truth (google Keith Green Catholic Chronicles), I would highly recommend this CD/DVD. It's not about the quality of the music (which isn't bad) it's about the fruit of the Spirit. Keith Green was real.
