  1. #1 Lee Young had the bass echoes too.
    #3 is simply called “Amen”. It is Larnelle’s version of the song.
    #4 had some step out solos including Gary McSpadden, Buddy Mullins (I think), Mark Lowry and Larnelle (I think).
    #7 The title is “Heartbreak Ridge and New Hope Road”.
    #8 Accompanied by Kevin Williams on acoustic and group members doing some harmonies.
    #9 It should be noted that you are correct on the title “I Walked Today Where Jesus WalkeD” as it was the old song and not the “I Walked Today Where Jesus WalkS” that IS a Gaither Vocal Band song and was done on the DVDs.
    #11 Bill asked Michael (from what I saw) to go into this. Michael started on the second verse I believe.
    #18 group also sang
    #20 joined by David, Michael and Wes
    #21 at least Wes was singing. Not sure who was covering baritone.
    #23 Solos by Mark, Michael and David.

  5. I’m pretty sure this is what made me finally decide to come to NQC for the first time ever this year and this did not disapoint! Although it would have been better with Guy and if they hadn’t done the Amen Chorus and Hold to God’s Unchanging Hand and kept to GVB songs.
