Keith Green - The Live Experience.DVDRip (2008)

The son of a big-band singer and math teacher, Green was born in Sheepshead Bay, N.Y., but his family soon moved to the San Fernando Valley in Southern California, where his grandfather taught him to play piano. At age 11, he made his first album. It had some success, but big breakthrough he hoped for did not materialize.

In his teenage years, his search for "spiritual truth" led him through Buddhism, astral projection and eastern mysticism. He met Melody in 1973. They got married a year later and landed jobs as staff songwriters at CBS.
Their journey eventually led to Jesus, and they accepted Christ in 1975. Sparrow Records offered Green a record deal in 1977. The album, For Him Who Has Ears to Hear, soon became the biggest debut album in the history of Christian recording.

His second album in 1978, No Compromise, also went to the top of the charts. Looking for a more central location, the couple relocated their ministry in 1979 to a 140-acre ranch in Lindale, Texas.

Green passionately believed his music was his ministry and rented his own venues to do free concerts so people without money would not be turned away. He also negotiated a release from his contract at Sparrow and decided to give his albums away for whatever people could afford, even for free.

The first one was 1980's So You Want to Go Back to Egypt, which featured a guest appearance by Bob Dylan. He also offered his final album, Songs for the Shepherd, in the same way.

On July 28, 1982, a couple with six children stopped by the ranch for a visit. Green asked their pilot to take them up in their leased airplane for a bird's-eye view of the area. Shortly after takeoff, the airplane crashed, killing all 12 people, including Green, 28, and two of his children, 3-year-old Josiah and 2-year-old Bethany.

Melody was at home with 1-year-old Rebekah and six weeks pregnant with their fourth child, Rachel.Rebekah LeBeau, who had two of her songs used on MTV's The Hills and is working on her debut album, said her dad was "honest and real."

"I think that's why his music has had such a lasting impression," said LeBeau, who lives in Hollywood, Calif. "Whether you agree with his message or not, you know for sure that this man was totally consumed by his love for God and his dedication to helping people-and you believe him."

"Keith was a fascinating mix of prophet, preacher and performer," said Craig Detweiler, the director of the Center for Entertainment, Media and Culture at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif. "He could command people's attention, not unlike Bono from U2. He moved audiences with his uncompromised music and message. I think this film will capture the current generation's attention."

Often described as a fiery young prophet, Green was known for inspiring people to go "bananas for Jesus" and challenging lukewarm Christians to repent of their hypocrisy.

Keith Green is like a combination of Modern day King David (the Psalmist), and St. Paul (preacher for the Gentiles).
