Comments: This concert was recorded during the summer of 1977 and released then as a 3 LP set.  In 1990, it was re-released on 2 CDs.  As far as I can tell, tracks 15 on disc 1, and tracks 14 and 16 on disc 2 were previously unreleased at the time of the concert.  Phil Keaggy sings Track 15:D1, Matthew Ward sings Track 14:D2, and Annie Herring sings Track 16:D2.  I have not been able to find any albums with a Phil Keaggy studio recording of "My Life".  He did perform the song live on the 2008 Master And The Musician-30 Years Later tour DVD release.  Matthew Ward, on the other hand, did eventually release a studio recording of "Psalm 61", but not until 1997 for his six or seventh solo album, My Redeemer.  As far as I can tell, Annie Herring has not (yet) released a studio version of "Receive", and this may be the only official release with that song on it.
