Vince Gill(Rare Footage) Go Rest High On That Mountain

[knibbles1882]

Every time I hear Vince sing, I am convinced that that is what the Angels in heaven sound like when they sing.

[lockhavenpa]

I was in Nashville that dreadful day. We saw alot of activity in the morning at the Ryman Auditorium. When we asked a security guard what was happening, he said that then Presidential candidate John Edwards was going to have a political rally later in the afternoon. As the shooting events unfolded in Vicksburg, upon our return to the Ryman, we were told this would be a memorial service. You will note that I am the last person to go on stage.

[aussiedog29]

Absolutely outstanding!!!! Good gracious Vince Gill gets me every time. What a stand up man he is. Respect...

[rebelatplay]

By far the best country voice in the world....Keep up the Gr8 work Vince...God Bless...Greg

[djoe1961]

Damn, He gets me every time. I love this guy.... I truly do..and I'm 6'4 260 lbs of rednecked hillbilly, but I have to say Vinny is so blessed with pipes sent straight from God allmighty down to all of us..I used to cover this song, and although I'm not vince, I remember seeing a couple of ladies in the crowd whowere crying as I poured it out..since that time I can't sing this song or hear it sung without sobbing like a baby.unbelievable..just unreal..thanks Vince Gill.You sir are the real deal

[Mr334lane1966]

I have a preacher friend who was working at the school that day of shooting. He has a awesome story to tell hoe he escaped bu the mercy of God.

The video is not the best, however the message in the song is the main thing here. Vince is one heck of a performer. The words of this song is so powerful. If I am not mistaking, Vince was writing this song when his brother died. I have heard this song time and time again, and it never gets old. It still brings a tear to my eye. This song was played at my dads funeral also. Vince, you have a talent in your songs and in the way you deliver.

[bkbj95]

very powerful

[garrettsgirl2208]

To Marie and others who have commented.

I was afraid to post this at first because it was so shaky, but your comments not only make me happy I posted it, but I give you my word that after the first of the year, I'll print out the comments and give them to Vince. I have no doubt he will be very moved and humbled by your comments.

[danhtown1]

one of the greatest songs ever written sung by one of the greatest vocalists ever

[ZachAnnerFan]

@danhtown1 this was sung at my sister's funeral sister in law actually but sister better describes who i believe her to be. Taken far to young by a massive heart attack. this song brings me to tears but truer words have never been spoken.

[JonEricMusic]

I think of this song every time I think of my mother.

Happy Mother's Day-

Thank you Vince for singing your heart out-

Banjoistically yours,

Jon Eric

[donray07]

[Knockout04]

Vince Gill is the Greatest Ever...

[survivrs]

How I wish you would have been allowed to have information about this video to share b4 reading your reply above. I wish they would have allowed you a tripod for steadier focus because (I AM NOT COMPLAINING,just want to make that clear)cuz this is a beautiful song and from what I've read here, for a TREMENDOUS cause. Even if the general public didn't have access, it would have been nice if the VT families could have had a DVD or something to hopefully give them some of the closure they deserve.

[SharonCobb]

Hi,

I wish I had had a tripod,too. Remember, when I went there, I thought I was doing an interview...a short one, so I didn't bring one.

Believe me, as a filmmaker, it breaks my heart that it's so shaky. But the VT incident breaks my heart more, I thought it was important to capture this event for history and for VT and especially for the families who lost loved ones.

I did the best I Could with the best of intentions--donating it to VT.

[sapilgrim2299]

I personally think you did a great job especially considering it was a last minute thing. Thanks so much for posting.

[SharonCobb]

Hi sapilgrim2299--Thank you! I did the best I could and the folks at Virginia Tech loved it, so that's all that really matters...that I was in the right place at the right time and didn't/wouldn't profit from it and gave the video to VT to use as they want, a of course, share it with all of you! :)

Vinnie (Vince) is amazing when he opens his mouth to sing, and this song is magical.

[southernlady39759]

My husband just passed on April 15 and a good friend of mine learned the song with her husband in one day he played it on the guitar and she sang it there was not a dry eye in the chapel thanks vince for so understanding our sorrow. southernlady

[robertdeuce]

so sorry to hear about your loss, my uncle just passed today and its so hard to explain how i feel...can only imagine what ur going through, this is a lovely song, god bless you and family

[stephanlegg55]

This song is my favorit. I play this for my twin who has my all. She pasted away wen we was two years old.She is the one that i look up to. Her name was Stephanie and my name is Stephan. She is the angel in my eye. The only thing that I wish is that Icould remeber her. She well be in my thoughs and payers. Vince Gill plays this song well and God Bless him.

[hotttttchickkkk]

[iatse347]

[wilmaohman]

[jesscbeth]

u know this is what i love about country music - the singers sound exactly as they do on the radio - they don't have technology fix thier voices like some other music do - a beautiful song!

[SharonCobb]

My pleasure...to be able to share this with all of you.

I had gotten permission to film at the Ryman earlier that day, for what was supposed to be a political event for Edwards. When that was canceled, they called for a quiet healing service, and I guess the rest of the media didn't want to cover that, so as far as I know, I'm the only one with footage of the event. (Which I donated the entire show to Virginia Tech for them to use as they want)

[SandyLynnH]

This is wonderful. He is pouring his heart out for these people. I love this song. It came out the year my son died. God Bless Vince Gill always! Thank you. Sandy

[saltnlemons]

Thanking for sharing this video. God bless all the people that are missing loved ones this Christmas.

[vadude68]

God Bless you Vince Gill.
