I love this dvd, and thanks for the review, Daniel. I can honestly say I’d much rather watch a good NQC dvd with good highlights like this one above a Gaither Homecoming dvd anyday.

On who appears on the dvds: I’m sure the board has their groups on. Duh, they’re in charge. Steve French with KHQ, Gerald Wolfe with GV, Danny Riley with GC, Scott Fowler with L5 (is on right now?), and of course Les Beasley with FB to name several.

I thought it was great that BFA took the first cut. In a way their current lineup reminds me of the GC lineup with a full band and Jon, Jay, Danny, and Tim. I’ve seen both the new GC and BFA numerous times, and I just believe BFA is the stronger group – right now. GC is my all-time favorite group, but you gotta lay aside bias, and look at the cold hard facts. Ok, that’s just my opinion. lol

To the individuals who think GC is better than they were with Tim: Aaron’s better than Tim?!? Not a chance.

jb, I imagine the NQC board decides.

Chris–your comment brought a smile to my face. I suppose you are right.

Who and how do they decide which group and which song gets put on the dvd?

Daniel – your view of Traditionial SG is very narrow at this point.

This will be, I believe, the first time Gold City wasn’t the “opening act” of the DVD. I have all the previous DVD’s, (not looking at them currently), and I’m pretty sure Gold City has the first track on all of them. I’m also pleased that the DVD editors did not choose the Hoppers’ “Yes I Am” or “Shoutin’ Time” on this, since both of these songs occur on 2 DVD’s each (if memory serves). (Of course, I might be thinking also about the ‘99 SN Fan Awards Video I got with my very 1st SN subscription).

T. Bennett, my comments had nothing to do with Aaron’s musical abilities. My comment that he was “down in the mix” means that his microphone was not turned quite as loud as I would have liked. I like his voice and would have liked to hear him a little better.

Chris, yes, after hearing various clips on your site among others, that is my impression of Gold City’s project.

A B, I agree. I would love to see a DVD of the spontaneous moments, the big surprises, when a group brings an old legend back on stage and the emotions run so high that even the professional singers have a hard time making it through the song…those are the sort of highlights that I’d like to see.

There are some good songs on here, but I afree that the extras part is the highlight of the DVD. It seems like the real NQC highlights are rarely picked for the DVD, and it often serves as a live version of a bunch of radio singles. There were some real highlights I thought that outdid over half of what’s on the DVD, oh well….

I think I have every one of these videos in my collection, and you can bet that the Hoppers, Florida Boys, Kingdom Heirs, Greater Vision, The Crabb Family, Gold City, Legacy 5, The Dove Brothers, and the Reggie Sadler Family will be on every year. Although not this year, many of the DVD or videos have the Inspirations, the McKameys, and Karen Peck and New River. Palmetto State missed a year or two, but they are frequently featured. Back in their beginning EHSSQ were on, as well as Jeff and Sherri Easter.

I used to wonder why I bought them and then realized it’s because it’s fun to see what the groups look like each year and their stage mannerisms, not to mention the highlights of the special shows. The sound quality, as Daniel said, is very good.

As for Gold City being progressive, I’ll just say this. Listening back through several GC albums recently, I think they sound great with the new lineup and though their new album was a little edgier, it was conservative edge. In fact, i think Revival should probably be a finalist for album of the year.

Hello,
First of all, I really enjoy reading your articles.
I don’t really understand the comment about Gold City’s wonderful bass singer, Mr. McCune. The majority opinion about this quartet’s new line-up seems to be that they are better than ever, and I agree. I have all their CD’s and have seen them many times in concert, and, to me, they’ve never been better. Some who continue to use the cliché, “glory days” need to realize that THESE are the “glory days” for Gold City. Play through the CDs of all the different combinations, as I have, and you will have to agree. (I have enjoyed all their different line-ups, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I now believe that they are stronger vocally than EVER BEFORE!)
Blessings!
T.B.
