Description: This is the part #12 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 |

Haha, he wrote it again because no one listened the first time. I thought that was great. __________________________________________________ | |

| MDinPhilly ::: Favorites 2007-10-16 23:47:01 "Elijah" was the song and I think it was "re-released" when "Songs" came out. I had never heard it until then, and I believe it was the last song released/promoted as a single before he died. Even more interesting, the chorus asks "I want to go out like Elijah, with a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire". Elijah was there one moment, and in the next moment the chariot took him away. I think that is a poetic translation of Rich's death, as I understand the circumstances. __________________________________________________ | |

| marcosagostos ::: Favorites 2007-07-21 12:18:02 The odd thing about that song is that it was on his first album and yet it rang truer the day he died than the day he wrote it. I guess it's one of those universal truths. This world will beat youup and spit you out and none of that really matters in light of what is waiting. __________________________________________________ | |
| JujuViolet ::: Favorites 2007-07-21 02:12:21 Thank you for this concert. You have not dropped any ball, just have a part (9) to go. All of your work is super. I, too, noticed how haggard he looked, and in one of his album songs he sings, " my heart is aging, I can tell." Curious, isn't that? Thanks again __________________________________________________ | |
