Jacob Kitson seems a bit less nervous here (not that this was bad, but standing right next to the legend you are about to replace has to be a little intimidating, no matter who you are.)
Dean Hopper blossom as a singer with family along his side.
Lauren Talley blossom as a singer with family members and got saved in the back of a bus.
Jonathan Falwell really blossomed as a excellent expository preacher following the passing of his dad.
Don’t worry about Jacob Kitson.
Jacob is in good hands
No better mentors to have than Gerald and Rodney with God leading the way.
He is a good tenor, did you know he tried out for Legacy Five a few years ago when Frank Seamens left the group for a few weeks. I thought that was an interesting factoid about Mr. Kitson.:)
I was at the Brumley Sing in Lebanon, MO on August 6th and heard Jacob’s debut performance with Greater Vision. He did a great job, especially for his first night out and, I would assume, having a decent case of the jitters, although it didn’t show on stage. I think I’m not alone in saying that their entire set just felt so right with Jacob on stage. Regardless of whether or not he nailed every note (and it sounded like he nailed them all to me), he’s a perfect fit for this group, both vocally and personally/spiritually. For what it’s worht, he got the only unanimous “nearly every seat was emptied” standing ovation that evening when he sang “Little Is Much,” and Gerald never missed a beat in introducing him with a funny story.
What I especially noticed is that the entire audience seemed to be cheering Jacob on. Southern Gospel fans are often noted for their inability to embrace the new guy until he’s proven, but that was not the case at all. The crowd was 100 percent behind Jacob, and I think that the classy way Greater Vision went about Jason’s send-off and Jacob’s arrival had a lot to do with that.
If the first night was any indication of what Greater Vision fans have to look forward to, then pardon me while I fasten my seatbelt.
I’m really looking forward to seeing Greater Vision on Friday night! (8/15) We were at the farewell celebration and now I’m ready to hear a whole concert with Jacob.
Linda Vivian: This was the best review I have read in a very long time. Thanks for the time and love that went into this review. It reminded me of my first Gold City concert. They were the first... Steve Krout: One slight correction, the third song they sang was “He’ll Do It Everytime” off of What A Great Lifestyle. It was an excellent concert…probably the best... scott: very nice review and as mentioned above great re-post! Neil Enloe: The Booths and Gold City were less than an hour from me that night and I had planned to attend, but found out that we (Dave, Duane & Neil – Original Couriers) had to do a... JayTee: A fine choice for a re-post!
pj: From what Bill said Friday night in Reading, Marsh will fill in until Michael is able to return. And, yes, Marsh did a great job! They all did, including David who was sick… Gene... Martha: That is so cool! I was very sad when Marsh left…glad to see that there aren’t hard feelings. Or at least not enough to keep a “reunion” from happening. Guymiddle: Marsh did a great job on Jesus Loves Me on friday night in Reading, PA. He really puts his “twist” on that old childrens song. He took the lead on many of the GVB songs, as... Butch: I was at the Reading concert last night. On one of the songs-I forget which one-Bill did one of his signature bass slides, but the last note was definitely not him. I’m sure it was... quartet-man: I have liked many of the Vocal Band members, but I will be at least partially disappointed if English isn’t there when I see them. (Not that I don’t like others in there... Greg: I was so bummed when Marsh left the GVB, he is a supremely talent vocalist. Those who are getting to see him sing with the vocal band are very fortunate. Daniel J. Mount: I’m sorry – I don’t know that. Cameron: Do you know if Marshall is filling in for the Toledo, OH date on March 20?
quartet-man: I find the last few comments sad, perhaps with good motives, but misguided. To those of you who want to give free songs to reach the lost, what is wrong with your paying for them to do... Josh: I’m glad the preacher doesn’t charge me to listen to his message, though I willingly give 10% of my income to him. I’m also glad the church doesn’t charge me to listed...
Andrew Fountain: Daniel, this is one of my favorite groups on the road. They are extremely talented… and have remained very ministry-minded. Good review!
judy: I really enjoy seeing Mark Lowry back with the group. hope he will be a regular again. Although I miss seeing Guy Penrod with the group. I pray that everything is alright and he will be back...
Paul the Concert Guy: A side note…I was wondering if there might be a copy of the track to “He Could Never” that I might be able to purchase from Mark to use in church. I have...

Greater Vision will be at our church, Englewood Baptist, in Rocky Mount, NC this Saturday evening. Tickets available at the door for $10.
I can’t wait to hear them.
