Newsboys (With John James) - Live at Flevo 1994 

hunter gaming Same here!

Same here!

HE WAS LEFT BAND IN 1996 AND THEIR DRUMMER PETER FURLER BECOMED BAND LEAD SINGER AND PETER LEFT BAND IN 2009 AND MICHAEL TAITH BECOMED NEW SINGER

1986-1997 is the John James era

I did not know he sung Shine

@@Kludd-ss1lr a good portion of early songs Peter did the vocals in the recordings and John James did the live vocals. If you listen to Nott Ashamed, Going Public and Take me to your leader, you will find songs going back and forth between them.

did Duncan Sung Shine? Wow I’m impressed

@@dustinhutchinson6275 idk where you are getting that from. Because i know that john sang alot of the songs in the early 90s his voice is nothing like peter . I know they both sang the leads and would switch off on some songs . But john sang alot of them back then on the cd and in concerts.

So what did Duncan Phillips play when Peter furler got done singing?

Was that jody Davis in the white t shirt?

@@lil18thletterking77 yes it was 96 lineup. The best version of newsboys in my book. Wish John James would come back.

3:48 is definitely Duncan on keyboards and he sings as well. John does lead vocals tho.

@Tanya Jamesyour husband is incredibly talented!

@Tanya James It would be an honor to meet him and the Newsboys one day! I grew up in the early 2000s listening to some of the Newsboys old hits on the radio. I play a little piano and love their stuff.

He is speaking at my church tomorrow.. that's why I'm watching this lol

Aww that is so awesome!!!!❤

@Lord Eddard Stark Gotta disagree on both points. Love Phil's voice (Jody's is awesome, too -- have that album, know Jody sings with him, they're both great and they blend really well). And I've also met Phil, he was nice as could be. Maybe he was exhausted from traveling when you met him and too tired to deal. It happens. These guys are human beings and they get tired, have fights with their wives, have off days just like the rest of us. I don't think it's at all fair to judge someone by one random meeting where you run into them in a busy airport when they've got their minds on other things. (I also have heard Phil is really uncomfortable with the adoration he gets from fans. He'd rather God be the one to get the glory. Maybe the dude is just SHY with strangers?)

@@the_real_littlepinkhousefly you must be talking about Step Up To The Microphone. I can never hear Jody's voice that well. But Peter and Phil sing so well, and blend so nicely together.

@Space Dumps Yes, I know all that. I'm a major Phil-fan. What I was wondering was why they weren't letting him sing yet.

And ironically Duncan is singing background vocals on Shine. In interviews at the beginning of the Newsboys United era Phil asked Duncan why he doesn't sing. He answered that "it's not good." The rest of the guys just sort of laughed

@@the_real_littlepinkhousefly You raise a good point there. I was a young teen fan in those days and, oh yeah, Phil was my favorite. I gave him just as much attention for his hair and his looks as any other female fan my age did. It wasn’t until I became an adult that I wondered if that was something Phil struggled with as someone in the ministry. Imagine you have a sincere desire to give all of the glory to God alone, but you yourself are so attractive that people end up giving YOU the glory instead. That’s his life, every day. I can only imagine how amplified that was when he was a Newsboy.

Hahah!!

Or maybe headaches get a duncan..whadya think?

VenturaVillager Studios And Jody would’ve been dizzy after

@@dukealbert7017 im sure as well

Duncan was originally the keyboardist before Jeff Frankenstein joined and then alternated between keyboard and drums until John James left and Peter Furler became the permanent lead singer.

VenturaHorse 2000 didn’t he on the album??

@@surrealheights Peter sung in the recordings and John sung in the Live concerts but by 1996 Duncan switched to purcussion due to a role management to Peter being on drums until John Left in 1997 then Peter switched from drums to vocals and Duncan moved from keyboards,purcussion to drums

@@SampleZebra theres another video where Furler sings leads on Spirit thing in this era while john James danced and did backing vocals.

Peter sang the lead vocals in the studio as he did in most songs,even during the John James era.

@@martinone9 thanks!

Miguel Chacon I wish! Sadly no.

@@dukealbert7017 thank you anyway God bless 😊

You are VERY welcome. Should I ever get ahold of any rare footage, rest assured, I will share it. I’ve got this 2003 concert (horrible early 2000s internet pixelation) that is out of sync. But once I get it in sync, I’ll share it.

@@dukealbert7017 sounds great god bless👍

Peter Furler Sings spirit thing John James Sings shine and love comes true

I'm wondering that too

Jody Davis

I think it's Jody Davis

It’s Jody Davis he’s wearing the glasses that’s why you can’t tell

PeterFurler does sing shine from his drum with John James

You just gotta listen closely

he had a lot of addictions and problems in his marriage, the boys told him he had to leave the band to save his marriage, listen to some of his testimonies, the Lord did wonderful things in his Life, but I agree with you, I love the John James era the best

He was forced to resign from the band

Those are strong words, dont.you think?

That’s cause the awful one is really you hehe
