Daniel Amos: "Sanctuary"

[DogbarkMusic]

I was privileged to see DA perform Sanctuary on this tour in '84, and again in '89 at Cornerstone. It is one my all time favorite songs.

Such a powerful song and music.

Thanks for posting!!!!

Wow! I remember...remember...seeing DA on this tour. This was one of the first "multi-media" concerts with the video background. The incredible U2 360 tour with "The Claw" has its roots in this tour. The song I most remember from this tour was the song "Good Choice, Bad Choice" which featured on the background video various TV evangelists including one of my mentors, Fr. John Bertolucci. I wasn't sure if he was being portrayed as a "good choice" or bad choice.'

[earthdog005]

F-Y-I:

(Do a GooGLE search on your 'mentor.')

"I did not have sexual intercourse with your son, I only fondled him.. I was very proud of your son, the way he repeatedly fought off my sexual advances most of the time. I want you to know that I still love your son after all these years." --The alleged words of Rev. John Bertolucci....

Now, if a child molester is a "good choice" to you....then I have reason to wonder???

[rpmclain]

Of course that was in the mid-80's, about 2 decades before the news of his crimes came to light. Now we know that he, along with Fr. Ken Roberts., Fr. Bruce Ritter, Fr. Dale Fushek, Fr. Marciel Maciel, etc.. go under the category of "horrendous choice."

terry taylor = brilliant

[yankeefan1a]

I was lucky enough to see DA in Columbus Ohio in the mid-80's at The Fish House Fellowship.

They still are one of my favorite rack bands... ever.

They opened with a song that ab-SO-lute-ly kicked the audiences collective back-side.

If I remember correctly, it was titled "I'm on Your Team" .

Does anyone know if it exists on disc, vinyl, or tape?

[bobbychuck15]

Yes, it's from the album.."The Miracle Faith Prickly Heat Telethon of Love"...pure genius

[tacobor]

@yankeefan1a it does exist on DA Live Bootleg. Released on Stunt Records in the early 90's. It was a show in St. Louis recorded on a four track. The band had to use borrowed equipment as theirs had been stolen just prior to set up.

[DogbarkMusic]

I'm On Your Team" is on the 1990 Dr. Edward Daniel Taylor "The Miracle Faith Telethon".It is a great song.

Have some friends who use to go (and play) at the Fish House.

[Druuzzz]

awesome!

[DogbarkMusic]

Sanctuary is my favorite song by the musical genius of Terry Taylor. We saw this concert in 84 in Iowa then called the Doppelganger tour. And we have seen Terry and friends many amazing times since then, Just saw hin in Rock Island Il last month with his son Andrew on bass and Steve Hindalong on drums and still amazing.

Thanks for posting!!!

This song is quite special to me. At the time I first heard it, I was dealing with a friend's suicide. God used this song to remind me that He is our Sanctuary and our source of comfort in our darkest hours.

[godzilla323]

Didnt Daniel Amos do a song called Church House Blues? If so what album was that off of if I even have the right guy

[wallacegeoffrey]

There are no words to describe this . I love DA and Tery you are a geneous GOD BLESS YOU MAN

[doggydoggycatwoman]

I love this song :-)

[Neptuneman07]

This is one of the best songs that Terry Taylor ever written! What a classic!

[DontKnowDontGo]

That's a pretty tough statement to make considering the 500 or so great tunes he has written.

[Neptuneman07]

True, but its in my top 5 Ultimate Terry Taylor/DA/Da/Swirling Eddies/Daniel Amos/Lost Dogs, etc. Songs. Or top 1%.

He's literally one of my all-time favorite songwriters. Its a bit tough, but true.

[DontKnowDontGo]

It's one of the better ones, I would agree. Just so many good ones. I put TST up there with Robert Hunter as the two best song writers of our time. I cannot think of anyone else who even comes close to TST.

[briank06261973]

This is the first time I have heard this version of this song. I am more used to Deliverance's version of it. Wish someone would post that version on here. I would but I don't have the album.

[earthdog005]

This is the "original" version, by the original artist/band, featuring the songwriter (Terry Scott Taylor, extraordinaire) on vocals. Thank you for your comment!

[godzilla323]

I never was intorduced to Terry Taylor until recently. I know but better late than never back in his day I was metal only and didnt care for what little i heard of Terry's music. At the time it was way to modern and soft for me. I do love Deliverance version of this song too

[MsHeartsOnFire61]

I was at this concert best band you`ll ever see Terry Taylor is a genius

[godzilla323]

I love Deliverance version of this song as well

[necroculto66]

agreed they played this during there learn tour saw em at the flip side in anaheim with neon cross and saviour machine

[pringlefish]

What a fantastic song by a fantastic band. It really makes me sad how CCM listeners immediately abandon their bands after they aren't on hit Christian radio. If DA were a secular band, they would still sell well today like all the secular bands they influenced. Very sad.

[DontKnowDontGo]

And who runs Christian radio? Christians? Think again. I think Mike Knott made that point quite well with his Cash in Chaos World Tour CD. Radio Satan...great tune. I haven't listened to "Christian" radio since 1981. Don't miss it either. Thank God for the Internet.

[ihatefur]

WOW! I was able to see them at CS 2001, it was great but it wasn't like a classics show. Did get to meet Terry, great guy.

[dragonsrightwing]

I got to see DA this same tour at Magic Mountain in Calif - they had a "Christian Rock Night" with DA, Randy Stonehill, Phil Keaggy, and Farrell & Farrell.

3 out of four rocked my socks off (the fourth wasn't bad, just outclassed) - you can guess which were the three...

[gaelicghia]

I agree....greatest band ever!!! Terry Taylor helped me define my musical tastes in the

80s. Thanks for that! Otherwise who knows who I would be now.

[edfleab]

The greatest band ever.

I want to be Terry Taylor when I grow up!

[entropicmom]

What a great version of this song. Every song that Terry has written is my favorite when I hear it. He has an uncanny musical and lyric ability to plumb unspoken fear and longing. Someday I would like to sit down and talk to this man for hours. Maybe in Heaven. Thank you, Terry, for being faithful to use the gifts G-d gave you.

[AnonymousBChurch]

great song

[lannyandiggy]

DA is an incredible band. Their music, their lyrics, their ability -- second to none. How fortunate that we Christians can call them our own. What will heaven be like with so many great musical minds: Larry Norman, Bob Hartman, DA, Glenn Kaiser, Keith Green, etc.

[humanedomain]

this is awesome!!! thank you!

[Karalovesmusic]

I love this song! Thank you so much for uploading!

[Bobflip44]

Just great to see this!!! The most creative ccm band of them all! Classic and classy! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[drumdeadcrazy]

It's great to hear the original version at last. The first time I heard this song was the cover by Deliverance. I love their gloom-metal version. Really brought out the essense of the song I thought.

[XanderX84]

No need to be a jerk.

It's a legitimate question, The song was written just after his Grandfather died. It's about God comforting his hurting child.

[earthdog005]

The image is of the drummer, Ed McTaggart, in Doppalganger makeup. (Sorry for the rude person...Whoops! Where did that comment go???)

[Sonnyboy56]

Oh man, do I love this song! Terry could be a hymn writer. Please post more.

[earthdog005]

Sorry, but that was just to "test" the volume increase from the DVD, so that I could demonstrate it to Terry.

[4darin5]

How can I get my fire-cracker stricken hands on this DVD!?

[cliffhanger42]

remember.. remember....

[u17crma]

By far my favorite DA song ever. Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!

[lastastronaut]

The thing I have always loved about terry taylor and company, is that in each different song you can hear a totally different influence inflection....here he sounds remarkably like old dave bowie.

[lastastronaut]

WOW WOW WOW.. I cannot believe how many obscure classic CCM vids i am finding.. OLD DA was SOOOOOO cool.

[cliffhanger42]

unbelievable!!! another one of my fav bands..My fav song by them too

[XanderX84]

BTW, is the guy on the screen his Grandfather?

[XanderX84]

Awesome, epic song! The Deliverance version is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard, almost 15 years later and I never get tired of hearing it. I've never heard the whole original song though, I'd love to get a copy of it.

[printerguru]

Absolutely awesome! Can you get "I Love You #19 from this same concert? Terry Taylor is a genuis.

[9imus]

MORE!!!!!!!

[bELLU50]

THIS IS a great band
