Re: 99
I still gotta get the scratch together to order a copy or two of this disk.

I was there for this show and though over the top, I loved the Beatles tunes they played together. It was a real treat to see Roe and Keaggy going at it - two phenomenal guitarists who looked like they were genuinely enjoying playing together. If not for the blown fuse, who knows how long they would have played?
"Green Onions" was also great... If I'm not mistaken, that and the "Stellazine Prophecy" recording is on the fan club release "Guilty Pleasures" (the latter being the one that not only blew my mind, but blew some fuses, I think... at which point, they had to stop playing that evening). This was a 2000 concert (January, I believe?) If we're capturing a moment in time, '00 may be too close to '99 to continue that theme? Not for me to decide, but I wouldn't mind also seeing something released from 2000 too at some point in time! I know the Lancaster show from that time period contained some great tunes, many which were different than the ones recorded on 11/3/99 (for eventual release on '99!)

Oh man that would be cool to hear also! Didn't he play at McCartney's daughters or niece or somethings wedding? That is cool for McCartney to be "friends" with Phil...THEY should do an album together also.....and bring Mike in to help too! YES!

Phil described the meeting in the February 1991 issue of the old Phil Keaggy Newsletter (Volume 1, Number 1), under the title "Paul Meets Phil...,"
Recently, I played and sang at the wedding of my friends Don Malcolm and Laura McCartney [I think he meant Laura Eastman?]. Laura is the sister of Linda McCartney. It seemed a sure thing that at least Linda would be at the wedding. As it turned out, husband Paul was one of the groomsmen and his wife and children were bridesmaids.
I enjoyed doing my part in this lovely wedding. I sang, "Two of You," "Here and Now," and "What a Wonder." I played on the guitar, "I Love You Lord."
Yes, I was a bit nervous, Paul standing only a few feet away listening and watching attentively. After the first shaky line of "Here and Now" I focused upon Bernadette, then of course on the bride and groom. Smooth sailing from then on...
We all met the night before at the rehearsal dinner. There was a good deal of God's presence throughout. Many believers were there from the United States as well as from Europe, although the attendance was no greater than 50 people. Paul and Linda and their children were quite friendly. Paul said "Now tomorrow, just have fun and be of good voice."
After the wedding Paul said, "You did a fine job" to me. He also said, "you sound a lot like James Taylor!" I better start listening to James Taylor again I suppose.
For a brief moment upstairs in the Eastman's house, Paul and I had a bit of a jam with acoustic guitars. He was very obliging and generous with his time.
As you know, I've been a "Mac" fan for some time... at least 28 years now! I wish him and his family all the best. It seems to me that they are nice folks and God loves them very much.
Laura and Don are two of the finest Christian people I've met and very dedicated to sharing Christ with people everywhere they go. They now live in Italy and have a ministry together there.

Wow. It seems weird to think of Phil being nervous...he even seemed nervous in the letter or maybe it was excitement but anyways that's cool. Thanks for sharing as I too was wondering why they were meeting in a bed!
Posted by dennis on 12-19-2007 at18:03:
Yeah, some things just make you wonder.

Lo and behold and copy of 99 was under the tree for me! My lovely bride ordered me a copy for Christmas.
Thanks to lo-fidelity and the 77's for a great disk. It's been in heavy rotation today.

Very nice!

I just finally got this and am totally enjoying it. I can't get over "The Stellazine Prophecy." It ROCKS!

I gotta cut loose with some of my Christmas money stash...

Picked up 99 at the Ames concert.
I have listened to it and and a half times.
Half on the way home last night after the show and the entire CD today.
Very good.
Love The Smithereens "Blood & Roses" cover.
I think the 77s may be the best band on the planet.

I know "11" maybe doesn't have the same ring to it as '88 or '99, but one can hope...
