2009 ELCA Gathering Nightly Opening

[christoBB00]

Who else cant wait till july for 2012 youth gathering!

[beccamlvn7]

anybody wanna go back? i am craving the feeling i had down there - it was INCREDIBLE!

[MEof93]

The opening and when everyone in the entire superdome did the moves to "I get down, he lifts me up!" were the best. That one song was definately when we jammed the most.

[LyokoDude]

the opening was the best, i got goosebumps every time we did that... or maybe it was because it was so cold in there =p anyways that trip was alot of fun, our group was on the floor almost every night

TrueJournals, would it be possible in any way to send me the original file of this video? my youth group is attempting to recreate the light show at the service we're leading, telling our congregation about our experience. Yours seems to be the clearest/least shaky video. We were hoping to have a video on the screen while playing with the lighting system in our christian life center. Please let me know!

[tinytimm13]

also, i have recreated the audio for anyone who would want it. It was cut from the 10 minute single version of "the race". i can send you the link if you wish.

[LyokoDude]

you can download and install YoutubeDownloader which will download this video and put it on your computer. search for youtube downloader in google. once it's installed open it up and enter the url address and hit ok. once its done switch to convert video and find the file and select the file type you want to convert to and hit ok.

hope this helps

[apuakk]

[jawfish1212]

i was there!!!!! soooo fun!

[tinytimm13]

the song is a recreation of the song "the race" by Yello (the same guys who did Oh Yeah from ferris beuller's day off). My guess is it was synthesized on a computer and will not be on the house band CD. however, it may be on the highlights DVD as a video file. Who knows.

sad thing is that my friend had to close her eyes cause she gets seizers from flashing lights. I LOVE BEING A LUTHERAN!!!

[iamkewlness]

aww, poor girl. i'm praying!

[SpeciallK18]

whats the name of that song??!?!

[TrueJournals]

Near as I can tell, it was created specifically for the gathering. I'm hoping it'll be on the gathering CD!

[SpeciallK18]

Really?!? I swear I heard it from something though, o well, Thanks anyways!

[TrueJournals]

Actually... tinytimm13 corrected me. See the video description for more info.

[CaptainPriceLives]

@SpeciallK18 I think it's called The Race, but this version is totally different than that song, it just has the same notes.

[Bullfrog91]
