A commemorative live DVD featuring fresh recordings of songs that span 60 years of Billy Graham Crusades, this was recorded with the First Baptist Columbia Choir and Orchestra. The evening of musical memories features two long term Graham stalwarts, George Beverly Shea and Cliff Barrows, as they run through many hymns and sacred solos long associated with the great evangelist. From start to finish it is pure musical nostalgia which I am sure will appeal greatly to those with happy memories of the Billy Graham Crusades. With 25 tracks including such magnificent pieces as "All Hail The Power Of Jesus' Name", "To God Be The Glory", "Blessed Assurance" and George Beverly Shea's own masterpiece "The Wonder Of It All", the songs are of a really high standard and sung with great gusto by the congregation. Both George and Cliff are in fine form and share many interesting and humourous anecdotes with the audience.
