wow, this absolutely SUCKS. First of all, to start the video off, Jeff Easter is being a completely annoying idiot screaming their name. BTW folks, this isn't the current Gold City, and even though this is the group that made it famous as Gold City, if I were in the current group, I would be offended that these guys were referred to as Gold City.
Ivan is SO off on this video, that I wanted to kill myself watching it. Even Brian Free is flat as hell. This stuff seriously SUCKS. Wow. Lame.
i cup my hand over my ear sometimes. yes yall are right. you have to blend with everyone. if you had a set of pipes like Tim and didnt get the pitch right you would over power every one else. its really hard to tell when you go really low if your in pitch (ear piece or not) so yes bass singers cup their ears
i was part of a gospel quartet and sang when i get carried away as the first song (i was the tenor) after not being part of that quartet for about 5 months the group had come to sing at the church and i was singing along with my pastor who replaced me. Little did i know the original tenor was sitting right behind me and said you should be up there. ;) little did he know i sang with them for about 4 months Hahaha
this lineup should make a new cd. it's amazing that after all of those years of not singing together they can go up on stage and sound tighter than many of the new groups. man what if they actually practice? lol
Man, I think I would have given up my right arm to be there for this. I wish I'd known about it. This lineup of Gold City was the first Southern Gospel music I ever listened to, and I've listened to them all since, and these guys are just the greatest ever.
I was just reading the comments and I think they did an awesome job. The band too! I heard NOTHING wrong with it....they did amazing! If y'all can't say anything nice don't say anything at all!! They did great. End of story.
This is my favorite line up. But these guys are STILL awesome with their own groups and everything. (: bye thanks for putting the up here LOVE the video!! (:
I am here to say that this line up of Gold City is the greatest quartet to ever to grace the Southern Gospel music stage with their presence. There has not been a group since to come close. I only wish that "Taco, Jeff Hullender/Mark Fain, and Doug Riley could have been there to play the music. I can't wait to sit on heaven's shore and listen to their music for eternity. God bless you Tim, Ivan, Brian and Mike. I truly miss you guys.
It is perfectly acceptable to complain NOT about the music, because this lineup of Gold City is great on even their worst day, but because the stage crew and musicians these guys were depending on but who had no more vested in this than any other gig--well, they must not get much work if this is any indication of their work ethics. Don't y'all see how Tim kept covering his ears? The monitors alone must have been deafening.
@TheDingoes8mybaby He's not covering his ears...he's cupping his hands over his ears to hear himself. Deep notes get lost with all the other higher singers and instruments. Bass vocalists will do that a lot, even with in ear monitors, and from what I could tell, Tim wasn't wearing any in-ears.
@Hawkeye315 You are correct but there is 1 morereason as well. The other reason to cup the ears is to pitch to the other singers. Even the best and has bad tones and cupping the ear even with the in ear monitors working right.
So, there is nothing good that can be said about this? I'm just saying... everybody is a critic and always knows what should have been done. I am just glad they were able to get together. Brings back a lot of memories. Wish they could have done more. You hear what you want to hear and see what you want to see. I hear songs with anointing and people that can sings with anointing.
Somebody will probably complain if Gabriel's trumpet is out of tune, if they even hear it.
Let me share a little insight with you about this performance, as someone who was behind the scenes in all of this. If they sounded unrehearsed to you its because simply they were not able to practice or even sound check that whole day because of time. They were just thrown up there. and If you will notice in the video Tim didn't even have his mic because the idiot sound men forgot to give it to him, not to mention mike wasn't even on. This was a first on stage for them in 20 years exactly.
Maybe if you had been there, you'd know how much a vocal/instrumental disaster this was. Not even saying it's the fault of the performers -- but somewhere in the production/performance chain, a would-be great event was screwed up royally. Even God probably had a choice word or two for this, given the talent he provided. This GC lineup and the bands they had 20 years ago were a ga-zillion times better than this. But those with low standards probably don't wanna' hear it...
I've been waiting for this FOREVER TOO! But there won't be any DVD from this nightmare. They took a bunch of studio musicians hobbling through the songs, combined with a production crew that couldn't even provide mics to the singers on cue. Then the singers (maybe because of all that) did the worst job of their lives. If there's a DVD, it would have to have almost EVERYTHING re-done in the studio. WHERE'S THE ORIGINAL BAND WITH GARY JONES??? BOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Yeah!!! Where are the original GC band members??? The band sounds like s**t. Plus the singers are definitely not "on". Ivan is struggling BIG-TIME in Midnight Cry :) :) :)
