sgpianoman -> RE: What Recent Concerts Have You Attended? (7/1/2008 12:07:17 AM)

i know mini reviews of the GC Homecoming have been posted but i wanted to add my mini review.
I had the privilege of going Thurs and Fri night and i enjoyed both nights tremendously. It was really great to have gold circle seats on the front row too hehe
Thursday night was a great night of excitement. The mark trammel trio did an excellent job of getting the concert going. They sang many fan favorites, including turning Eric loose on "glory road". Other favorite songs for me were " Weary at the well", "once upon a cross", "won't it be wonderful there", ect.
I always enjoy hearing and talking with the MTT. They have a new dvd that I picked up...very enjoyable.
Next was Gold City and of course they did a wonderful job singing. The new line up is EXCELLENT. No doubt in my mind that Bruce will be a great addition. They sang mostly new songs off the "moment of truth" project, which is a TREMENDOUSLY good cd.
after intermission was the Gold City Reunion.
You could feel the electricity in the crowd when Jay, John, Mark and Tim took the stage. Jay can still do sang some tenor!! Jonathan has not lost a step...he can still pull off that moon walk. Mark as solid as always. And tim, well he just gets better with age. They came on stage with Get up, Get ready. Really the entire set was a total hit. I wish they had more time to sing..i could have stayed there for a long time! Other songs i remember "He said", "when he calls me i'll fly away", "under control", "I'm not giving up". A wonderful night!!

The next night
Started off with a "pre concert" with the overtones.
The main concert started about 7:15 with the Old Paths and WOW...they blew the roof off. They sang some old crowd favorites and songs off of their "today" cd. The Old Paths are one of the best quartets in the industry right now. Favorites they did: "He chose the tree", "He will see you through", "Oh, bless his name", "Living in Canaan (with Jeremy busting a double high c at the end)" Awesome set!
The booth brothers came on and gave there all in a shortened set. I love the booth brothers smooth harmony and great stage presence. They opened with "where no one stands alone". The rainstorm moved in and so there was a weather delay...so the booth brothers returned afterwards and finished the set. Favorites: "I would", "He saw it all", "Hallellujah meeting", "Look for me at Jesus feet"
Aaron wilburn was the guest emcee and he sang a few of his comedy songs. It was a very enjoyable change of pace.
Next the Gold city came up and finished the night with a bang. I don't believe i've heard GC sing with so much enthusiasm. It was AWESOME. They sang a good mixture of old gold city songs and new ones. We were clapping, standing, shouting, throwing babies ect. Bruce gave one of the most excellent renditions of Midnight Cry! Steve Ladd sang his song "When Jesus saves" and the crowd loved it. He even leaped off the stage and went out into the crowd...it was great! They sang so many other songs that night...it just got better and better. No doubts that gold city is still the gold city we all love. Pick up the new cd AND new dvd they have out!
just my small review.
