Rich Mullins Concert Part #10

This is the part #10 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

I am having some issues with #9 but I hope to square it up soon.

where is 9?

[marcosagostos]

9 is still being worked on :(

[marcosagostos]

ok follow up on 9, disk that I have 9 on is a bit corrupted (scratched). I burned these on disk like 4 years ago and unfortunately I need to rescue the disk. It looks salvageable; I just need to get the time to get it all done. My apologies. in the meantime, enjoy the others.

My goal is to make some items available for download. I will post the links eventually, but I want to get permission first. Please be patient.

I really appreciate his testimony about becoming a Christian, being born again, and renewing one's faith. An inspiration.

I'm never again thinking highly of my self.

The missing section 9 contains Mitch McVicker singing a song from Canticle of the Plains accompanied by Rich on the guitar, followed by Rich performing 'Elijah' solo with just the piano. You can still get the DVD ('Rich Mullins Live').

I saw him twice in concert too.. I even babysat/dog sat Rich's dog and had a meal with him before the concert. I even went to his memorial in Nashville,Tn

Thanks for these. I'm really missing his music and concerts these days, so it is great to be able to watch!

@Jesmarluk - this life is nothing but an airport, and every so often God comes along & flys Home those who are truly ready - ready in Christ.

This might seem wierd but I need your prayers right now. My name is Daniel; and well; Im in a tough place right now, I miss her...

"God spoke to Baalan through his ass, and has been speaking through asses ever since. So if He should choose to speak through you, you need not think too highly of yourself." I love that, I use it all the time..

And in light of what would happen two months later, this quote is all the more powerful.
