RERELEASE OF RICH MULLINS CONCERT RECORDING AT YOUTH FOR CHRIST SECOND SATURDAY, 1992 WITH PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED PHOTOS OF THE EVENT
Ragamuffin Archive is excited to rerelease a historic concert performance by acclaimed Christian artist Rich Mullins, accompanied by David “Beaker” Strasser, from the Youth for Christ Second Saturday event on September 12, 1992. The event, held at Moody Memorial Church in Chicago, Illinois, drew over 3,000 young people for an evening of worship, music, and an inspiring message of hope.
Rick Whitmer, Senior Director of Mobilization for Hutchcraft Ministries and producer of the original event, recently uncovered previously unpublished photos of the concert from his father’s archives. These never-before-seen images were captured by Jim and Mary Whitmer at the event.
Rich Mullins’ 1992 performance was part of a lineup that also included renowned Christian bands like Petra, Whiteheart, and Newsboys, as well as speakers such as Josh McDowell, Ron Hutchcraft, and Ken Davis.
Setlist:
01. The Other Side of the World
02. Awesome God
03. Sometimes By Step
04. Hymn Medley (I’m Gonna Sing/Swing Low/When the Saints)
05. Step By Step
06. Growing Young
07. I Will Sing
08. Hope to Carry On
09. My One Thing
10. Boy Like Me, Man Like You
11. Where You Are
This concert was first released by Ragamuffin Archive on September 7, 2011. However, the concert was originally uploaded to the now defunct Christian Concert Archive message board by Timothy P. Burns who attended and taped the event. The recording was recently remastered by our own Hal Swift.
Rich Mullins: Youth for Christ Second Saturday at Moody Memorial Church (September 12, 1992) is available now!
Hello!
I am indeed the person who originally recorded the event. I no longer have the cassette, but a good clean CD. I worked with Youth for Christ Second Saturday the next month after the Rich Mullins show, and stayed until its end. I was recently graced some time back- first, my friend through her cousin (after my friend passed), and Rick Whitmer later, with surviving posters from Second Saturday. I have one or two mint copies of the poster promoting the event. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Timothy P. Burns
Hey Timothy!
Thanks so much for reaching out! Now that I see your name, I totally remember you! Thanks for sharing that recording with me all those years ago. I searched high and low through my archives to find your name so that we could credit you. We hoped that you, or at least someone who knew you would respond if they saw the article… never in a million years thought it would happen the first night!
Hal Swift is in the process of rendering the video again so that we can give you the credit you deserve. We’ll have it uploaded later tonight and have the link updated on our website.
As for the remaster, absolutely! Please send me an email at ragamuffinarchive@gmail.com and we’ll get that to you soon!
Great to hear from you again!
Peace,
Joe Cook
By the way, this newly remastered version sounds great. Is there a way to receive a copy of this to compare to my original? Thank you
