Rich Mullins Concert Part #13 (Final)

This is the the final part #13 of a concert that Rich Mullins did in Lufkin, Texas. Some excerpts from this concert made it to the homeless man video also available on You Tube.

This was the last concert tour that he did before he passed on.

Edit: 7/11/2007

I responded to an email that I received, but after thinking about it, I decided that everyone should read it to know where things are at. Thank you everyone for your patience and I apologize for dropping the ball on this one. I will pick it up again soon.

I was not at the concert there, but I did actually go to a later one. This concert (on you tube) was taped about 8 weeks before he died I think and I went to a concert 2 weeks later in Northville, Michigan. Actually, he only performed once more in Chicago and then he was no longer with us.

I was struck by how tired Rich looked even before he said something. By the time I saw him, he wasn't singing as much and the other guys were moving in closer to help pick up the slack. His voice was a bit scratchy and haggard. He looked more beaten than I had ever seen him.

I was able to see him about a half a dozen times throughout the years and it was neat to watch the transition of his concerts. He wasn't a great musician who talked about Jesus; he was someone who was willing to be used by God who happened to be a musician.

I hope to post the last part of the concert in the next few weeks. Video transition takes a lot of space and I was just able to get more hard drive space to accomplish this. Because this isn't the only project have on my computer, other things take a bit more precedence.

If you ever get a chance, listen to a song by Mitch McVicker called
"New Mexico." It was the last song Rich performed on and how poetic to "wrap it up," if you will.

As always, Be God's,
Mark

After long consideration, that is now intentional. I regret that I lost part #9 and I hear that the audio has been killed on part #6. I do not own the copyright on this and I think that if by posting this people are persuaded to buy the DVD, then it may work out better for everyone. Of course, this is not an easy conclusion to come to, but it is fair to the actual copyright holder.

[gtq838]

actually if this was taken off a copyrighted dvd then you are nothing more than a thief unless you have permission from the copyright holder.

Not saying I'm any better just don't try to rationalize it...

If you asked for permission you would be granted the right to use his music most likely I mean the guy has a web site with all of his music for free on it.

[marcosagostos]

I was never able to find the original copyright holder. Given as my passion is law, I probably see this a little differently than you do. I am not offering this up for download - on the contrary, I steer people towards venues that I suspect are endorsed by Rich and those who follow him. If I were to receive a letter of "cease and desist" then I would be more than willing to pull it. I see this as a site that allows sharing, the very same way it would if I invited you over to watch the video.

[marcosagostos]

I would also recommend artists such as Wes King and Ray Boltz.

I miss him so much... He was AWESOME, and his music still lives and brings glory to GOD

thank GOD and marcosagostos; this was a great concert. what a blessing Rich was and still is. He inspired many and we need to keep him alive for others. PTL

[quequelmique]

Wow I am so grateful to marcosagostos for putting this concert online! It's great to hear Rich talk. Does anyone have a copy of a show where he told about the rain coming across the Indiana plains? He divided the audience into groups and had us do different things that made it really sound like the rain coming from across the fields. I'd love to see that again.

Thanks for sharing.

So good to be true. Love endures. This is the real thing.

Thank you so much for sharing this concert, I saved it to my favs and it has been playing all day on my computer, lifting my spirits. Jesus said freely you have received and to freely give, Rich did this and left a HUGE legacy! He was real and rare, wish there were more like him today. God bless you for blessing all the you tube folks!

[pbsandcspanwatchit]

Hello dear friend, you ran the race, you fought the good fight, you overcame through Jesus Christ, you are now with HIM forever, thank you for letting him use you!

@stromtrooper32

its not really a biblical debate. I mean its one thing to say I'm violating international copyright laws. but its a completely different thing to say I'm violating copyright laws in the name of god or because jesus wouldn't stand for them... jesus said give to the lord what belongs to him and to caeser what belongs to him. both apply here.

kid brothers is the copyright holder and due to no royalties they have been forced to stop offering grants to special needs kids.

@gtq838

I would call it giving freely, as we have been freely given. Seriously, if you're going to make this a biblical debate, Jesus would likely turn the tables over in any "Christian" bookstore he walked into if he were here in this time. Do you really think selling the gospel is ministry? Rich and others in the past that started this "industry" took a small share to continue in their work and support themselves. Today, mega entertainment corporations have turned it into a den of thieves.

[randy2287]

Did you guys even watch the videos? Rich pointed out the necessity to love and to stand firm on Christ alone. I will not take sides here, but this petty bickering is stupid and distracts from the messages in the video. Regardless of who is right, why are you BOTH letting Satan use you to be divisive? We are to love as Christ loved us. You both pointed to Matthew 7:1-2. Maybe you both should read Matthew 7:3-5. Cut the arguing, you look like fools.

[gtq838]

its a parody of a movie get over it. see you are the one who has judged people I never once said you aren't a believer just that you are wrong. You judged my soul because I condeem your illegal actions.

frankly I'm tired of listing to your lies. break the law is breaking the law, period.

you said that I don't read the bible and the scripture I qouted isn't in there but when I prove it you call me a liar instead of opening your bible.

now you can weigh my soul. guess god has youtube

[KaraleeTX]

It is no surprise that your latest favorite video is 10 Things I Hate About Commandments which mocks God and spews filth. Now I understand why you would come on here to persecute and cause trouble for a REAL believer.
