Thanks for posting the link. The 3 Booth videos and the scrap iron quartet singing “Standing By the River” at GOGR are just a few small samples of what goes on at the reunion. But the Booth Brothers have pretty much always encompassed all ends of the spectrum in gospel music. Usually their table products like “Pure Southern Gospel” and “Beyond the Cross” and their “Live in Lakeland” cds are some of their most popular recordings. A lot of their concerts I’ve been to have been very traditional, and steeped in Mosie Lister material.

Daniel…I suspected you had never been to a Booth Borhters concert. You always label them progressive. While their cds at times have progressive elements, you really need to see them in concert.

Not a concert with 2-3 other groups but a concert with them alone. There is a reason they are number 1 right now and it is not all about their singing. They are masters of “moments” in concert. They connect like no one else.

In concert they do songs around one mike with guitar, light tracks, acapella. They also go full tilt and high energy too so there is variety. They are funny and they are serious.

Make the drive to see them alone some time. Your SG horizons will be expanded big time. You might finally “get” what everyone else sees in them. You would like it for sure.

Think about the difference in seeing the Perrys at NQC for 16 minutes and seeing them for 2 hours. Same thing (maybe more so) with the BB.

Well, I have seen them at NQC, but they’ve yet to come through my area for a full concert.

Yes, it is…

They don’t have a live keyboardist with them most of the time, though? Either way, I’ll have to go and check them out sometime.

Daniel,
They actually do this at most of their concerts, at least ones I have been. Of course, they don’t always have the luxury of having a bass singer present.

I think that is why the Booth Brothers are so popular. They create a remarkable concert experience. That type of experience does not always transfer to a studio recording.

Then, you have some artists who create wonderful studio recordings but are lousy in concert. That is a whole other story…

Great video! That’s why these guys are my favorite group. They can do many styles and all of them well.
