Christian music devotees have been waiting for a live album by the legendary Keith Green to surface ever since his untimely death in a 1982 plane crash. Finally, his concert performances have been documented on The Live Experience. Culled from his wife Melody’s personal archives, this album presents Green’s musical ministry in the most direct form possible. The singer/songwriter’s style of Christian pop/rock was brash and unfiltered, illuminated by a pure spiritual radiance at odds with the commercial music industry. The joyful spirit of the ‘70s Jesus Music movement is rekindled in the versions included here of “You Put This Love in My Heart,” “Easter Song,” and “I Want to Be More Like Jesus.” “Asleep at the Light” and “My Eyes Are Dry” come across as almost painfully confrontational — on stage, Green gave his fellow believers little room for complacency. Mixed in with the songs are fervent testimonials, offered with the palpable sincerity that was Keith’s trademark. Green’s influence as a pioneering Christian artist remains vital and The Live Experience makes it clearer than ever why this uncompromising talent continues to uplift and inspire.
