Larry Norman and Mike Roe

[MrDiscoviking]

do fundamentalists have long hair?(abomination in the lords eyes on a man lol)

[Sardarkar]

"Nguianea says I believe in me, just me. And yoko. That's reality" I lol'd

[centavo71]

Thanks Grandpa Larry - miss you! <3

[goodlookinrebel5]

This is really silly music. I used to like this guy when I was younger, but now as an adult I see that he was just a simple minded and minimally educated fundamentalist with long hair. He seems like a sweet guy though, and obviously a good songwriter...I hope he enjoyed his time here.

[BRProvince]

@goodlookinrebel5

This song is silly. His music, as a whole was far from silly or simple minded. You would hard-pressed to find a song deeper than "I wish We'd all been Ready" or "The Outlaw."

[checkthetoiletpaper]

a-w-e-s-o-m-e-!!

[breaddheadd]

dear john,

who's more popular now?

be not deceived, God is not mocked.

follow God or who ya gonna sin with?

[hardheartmadesoft]

Im 34 & can remember my parents listening to Larry, he rocked and yes i cant wait to see him at the gathering, well put snuggle

[myrrhamira]

Good find...thanks for sharing. Larry's music influenced me greatly thru my teens and opened the door for so many.

[snuggleupisus]

RIP Larry. See you at The Gathering

[FriendOfBass]

What a powerful influence! Not only for me musically, but for the "church" at large... if we could only learn to be as relevant as he was in his day...

[leonardoboy2]

It's a bit rough.

[KanzlerM]

"It's a bit rough"

That was Larry's style - unpolished & genuine.

[leonardoboy2]

Don't get me wrong, I do really love what he did. UFO is an outstanding track for one and translates well live. I have heard some not so good live deliveries from some of my other highly respected artists.

[silvi01977]

Still a great song... Larry started it all... even with Roe as a distraction, Larry seems like a raving lunatic.

[ohm1968]

This is from my home town of Eugene, Oregon. Mike Roe was doing a set in town and Larry Norman drove down from his home in Salem, OR.

[pogostixx]

Sweet find. Larry checked out to help check us in.

[gchance]

I only today found out Larry died. I thought I would have found out before now! :( This is a great video, thanks.

[KanzlerM]

"I only today found out Larry died..."

Yeah, I would have expected to know sooner myself. Sad that it didn't make the news.

[BethelAbba]

Actually, it was given front page space in the Entertainment section of USAToday newspaper the day after he died. I was in a hotel and caught it and choked on my coffee in front of my work mates.

[johnnymontserrat]

great video

thx for share this ^^

[DrHogfan]

"The Beatles sang all you need is love and then broke up"<-----thats strong right there.

Sang it brother.

[procommenter]

Hippies are groovy!

[frodoguevara86]

Gone but Not Forgotten

RIP Larry

Playing his songs for the King of Kings now

[marillionjenn]

I love this man. i saw him play a small venue in 1994 and i will never forget it.

[PrestyGomez]

This song reminds me of Woody Guthrie's "talkin' blues" songs.

[2degucitas]

RIP Larry. You are the patriarch of modern christian music.

[HemoJeff]

Wow, I love both Larry and the 77's, what a great thing to see Mike and Larry together. I would LOVE to have a copy of this on DVD.

[vagabondsoul]

My two favourite artists of all time together on stage. Where and when was this? We must find out.

[dutchontheroad]

Yeah this is great. He's got brain, he's got humor, he's got faith...awesome!

[sannesingstheblues]

This is so good!!!! Let's never forget his true humility!

I love U Larry! You taught me so much through my youth, and now when I'm grown I hope and pray that I'll always keep the same spirit.

We can all still learn from your songs and your way of being human.

Say hi to Jesus and Dad from me, and give then a hug... if that's possible upthere.

Love

[jarretc]

Thanks Larry. You always made it easier.

[eph2810]

what is really thought provoking is this - he sang so good while on this earth, how much greater will he sing in Heaven, when he is in the presence of the Lord. I can't wait to see.

[paulgear]

To see such a great artist as Mike Roe sitting in the background and letting another take the lead proves just how great Larry Norman was.

[Admick912]

rock on up there oh Norm

[rdc1950]

precious in the sight of the lord is the death of his saints. o lord trueley i am your servant... thou hast loosed my bonds. psalms 116:15-16 enter into your rest larry you have blessed many

[superninjaspy]

peace out Larry.

[buffspringfield]

Thanks for your words and music Larry you will never be forgotten, youve touched many souls for Jesus bless you rest in the peace of our Lord

[runninghoove]

So many common folk loved Larry, like no other artist. He was a true servant of the people and of the Lord. He will be missed for a long time to come by fans around the globe.

[drtuddle]

"Hammering the space program"

weird that him and Frank Black hit it off so well.

[bartolemeo]

Two of my favorite people in the world....thanks for posting this. R.I.P., Larry.....you'll be missed.

[GordyMari]

[PrairiesEdge]

Larry, my dear beloved brother in the Lord Jesus Christ! "Goodbye Farewell -- We'll Meet Again."

Larry was...(gasp)...such a liberal. Hammering the space program and Vietnam War. I can see why he rubbed some people the wrong way.

[twix99]

Love it!

[tinasattler1]

may larey norman rest in pece

[dcmack01]

Love it! Thanks for posting this.

[drbcook]

The first time I heard this I was a kid at the park now Im keeping beat in my rocking chair love it !

[dulcajack]

cool !!!

Jack

[cherrialbum]

WOW!!

[77sfan]

How cool would it be to go see Larry Norman and find out Mike Roe is playing with him that night?!

[myaqui]

no hype, no @#%&*, just honest music, I love it.

[myaqui]

I've been listening to Only Visiting This Planet. It speaks as loud today as when it was made 25 years ago.

[robatrhema]

myagui, you need to do some better math, 1972 (the year OVTP came out) is 35 years ago not 25. But I echo your sentiments

[myaqui]

Ouch!! I guess I'm in denial about getting old. But, just like a fine wine, Larry's music gets better with age.

[kc7fys]

Wow, shades of Roky Erickson. I'd love to see these two together.

[cliffhanger42]

the grandpa of christian rock still has it;-)

[DLNF]

Impressive!

[hvnbndwarriorprinces]

Really like this and it's the truth. He is so cool. God Bless Him. Thanks for this. Don't remove it or we can't see it anymore.

[HHUUMMBBLLEE]

dajavu  thanks

[newbieguy89]

Shot in Eugene Oregon Winter of 2000.

[julianchosun]

Yeah, this could be seen as an 'important' piece.

Anyone else know when this would have been recorded?

[12BarDave]

Awesome licks from Mike to accompany Larrys lyric.

Beautiful!

Keep on Rockin' the flock!

[saipanrick]

Wow, two of xtian music's best yet underappreciated personalities sharing a stage together... never thought i'd see or hear something like this. Thanks for posting it!
