Hey Mike,

Call your doctor and get some benzo’s. Chill OUT!!

THIS WAS A REPORT!! The report explained Libby was sick. Everything else negative is true on THEIR BEST NIGHT!!

They talk tooooo much and are still struggling for a nice blend.

NONE of us are impressed by who cares what YOUR CAPACITY in the industry is or what you do to service performers. If you want ppl to care tell it!!

Keeping it secret and using a bogus name, both I do not respect, indicate you are probably one of those IN THE WAY PPL THINKING you are helping at the Product Table or help them find a place to dump the toilet tank. GIVE US A BREAK!! The Toilet Tank and your DRAMA RESPONSE was the only CRAP on this thread.

NOBODY on here agreed with your DRAMATIZED over reaction…well maybe your sock puppet, but you are probably using it to pleasure your self instead.

I have read MANY things on THIS SITE positive about The Perrys.

In the end… The Perrys still talk too much and they need to work on their blend.

Q-Man you are way too nice. But we both still love THEM OAKS!! Hope your mega church is doing well!!!??

I love the Perry’s myself and have seen them several times in the last few years.That being said,they need to sing more and talk way way way less.The last concert I attended they did 10 songs over the course of (about)a 2 hour concert.I love their singing I dont need to hear Tracy wax poetic about the Vols.I’m reminded of going to see the Cathedrals and they sang for 3 hours and performed what seemed like every song they had every recorded and I loved every second.

Irishlad, very well put. My frustrations were not and are not with the reviewer. This was a simple opinion of how they did while sick. My point is that you cannot find a review of the Perrys anywhere on here when they were extremely healthy and on the top of their game.
As stated, it is a perfect example of how this site loves to jump all over the negative happenings within SG. After further review, I would like to apologize for the statements earlier. WHY? Because even horse crap has its place and serves a need in society.
KDM, I feel like you missed my point.
Bryce, your comment couldn’t be farther from relevant. I’m not seeking friendship. If you knew my capacity in the industry, you would know that I have served artists for years in the entertainment industry. My point is that if Doug were a friend to the artists, he wouldn’t pick such a review for the Perrys 15 minutes in the spotlight. They truly deserve a little more respect after the sacrifices thay have made for so many years. If offered, I will write a review of the concert we had recently with them. We’ll see if the invitation is extended?………

I also don’t think the commentator was overly harsh… Some people just have trouble accepting a truly objective report on anything… To many SG fans are looking through rose colored glasses at something that is not as rosy as and nice as they want to believe… I agree with Bryce… Very few SG artist are truly “friends” with any of their fans… They see most of their fans as their meal ticket…

As you might expect us SG fans don’t get a lot of groups over,so when we do it’s with great expectation.However a few years back PSQ came over without Tony Peace leaving BC,KB,JP and a stand-in to fill the baritone part.They were dreadful,they knew it we knew it the dogs on the street knew it but what could be done?I think if a slightly negative review had been written the core of people would have understood,the reasons being self evident,as in The Perrys case.I don’t think the reviewer was overly harsh.

I thought in the past I heard that the Perrys get a fill in when Lib can’t sing. Or was this a sudden illness when they were already on the road?

I saw Greater Vision a few months ago, the first SG concert I’ve been to in awhile. I had forgotten how few songs a group can do in an entire concert.

No one’s claiming friendship here, pal. And if you think artists are truly friends with most of — or in some cases, any of — their fans, well…

Geez, dude. Calm down! I’d imagine the reviewer reviewed the concert she did because it was the concert she was AT. It’s not like the Perrys perform in Springfield every weekend or anything. I thought the review made it very clear that the reason the Perrys weren’t at their best was due to Libby’s illness, and not any inherent shortcomings of the group. There were just as many glowing compliments as there were constructive criticisms. I doubt anyone who reads the review is going to come away thinking the Perrys are awful and should never be seen again. Relax!

MikeGibson - Ah, someone else missing their hour from the weekend!

Hey, it’s spring, do a happy dance.

Btw, some of us don’t get to a lot of concerts and therefore have to make do with what we get. Tough life, isn’t it?

Umm Mike, I think the friend rated that concert because that is the one they went to. I don’t know who Jrod is (at least I don’t think I do), but maybe they just sent it to Doug as an email between friends because Doug knew they were going and wanted to know how it was. Perhaps they didn’t submit it initially to be published, but I suspect that Doug might have cleared it with them if this is the case.

I love the Perrys too. They are one of the best on the road. I am fairly new as a fan (even though I liked songs of theirs back in the “I Wish I Could Have Been There” days. However, maybe your love of the people and desire to protect them is masking things a bit. The way I see it, it shows their determination to give a good show to the best of their abilities in spite of troubles. He (or she) also complimented Libbi on some songs that she was able to do well in spite of the ailment. Face it, even excluding illness (like what Libbi had), there are some days we can’t do as well as others. We all have off days and it is a fact of life. So, the reviewer caught them on a lesser night. He or she still managed to compliment them and explained why it wasn’t an average night.

How incredibly ignorant to take the time to evaluate one of America’s top groups on a night when Libbi was sick?? Are you even serious?
Several things come to mind, but not many of them are pleasant. What a joke!! A fan to the nth degree would not have posted such horse crap!! A real fan would protect their friends from being discussed online and sharing all of their shortcomings on a night when Libbi was probably living on NyQuil.
This just proves a point about this site. For the record, who is this “Friend of Mine” Doug that shared this.
250 dates a year? And this smutshop evaluates the one night that they show up handicapped…. And then post it for everyone to see? Real Class, huh?

Next week, Tim analyzes the musical intricacies of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”.
The piece that he’s delving into is pretty cliche anyway.

Hmm very interesting, I have always been interested in orchestration… I also notice on Tim’s blog that they are taking requests for a new CD of gospel classics… Novel idea if you ask me…

#43 Got it i one Wadey buddy,and i didn’t even know about the “repeat performance”.The word contrived springs to mind, the truth be told the whole thing left me feeling uncomfortable,not in a guilty way mind…just slightly embarrassed by the mawkishness of it.Don’t forget our unbelieving friends who are normally unexposed to such an insular genre of music could easily doubt the sincerity of such an outpouring.

Charlie… I first thought of Ed Crawford on WHEN MOMMA PRAYED on Mississippi Live. He cried at the same place ever night much like Pegs Shoes aFLYIN’ oft did.

But I am SURE Irish Laddy will clarify!! He’s not usually shy.

#40 - Which K’men LP? “Chattanooga Live?”? You talkin’ about RDR just before he encored ‘The Old Ship Of Zion” ? If so, I hope you were just joking. That was someone who was truly feeling the spirit of the moment. If you were serious, I’ll be back later. I’ve got some praying to do for a certain Irishladdy…

all this talk of old live albums has made me want to convert some of mine into the digital realm. I had an uncle give me a stack of old records from a house that he cleaned out to sell. there is a live double albums of the singing rambo’s, a downings album called birthplace, the original alleluia praise gathering album by the gaithers, the best of the sego brothers and naomi on scripture records, and a lewis family record called lewis country on canaan records. i haven’t listene to any of these yet, but they all look to be in very good shape. i hope to find a hidden gem or two among these songs.

Thanks Clarence. I appreciate that. I think The Journeymen became better and better after I left. There is no doubt they were at the top of their game when they retired.

Modern “live” recordings feel fake when the artists use tracks. By the time vocals are overdubbed, etc., they may as well just dub applause over the studio CD and be done with it.

Just like when they made a double CD set of the Kingsmen’s Stand Up at Opryland and Mississippi Live, they took all the talking out and put only the songs on it. Maybe cause of space on the project.

Seems like a lot of folks enjoyed the Oak’s live recordings. So did I. I always thought Duane Allen was a great emcee. Never said too much and what he said was thought provoking and not preachy.

In light of the current discussions that are on this thread, I’ve heard the tale that the great promoter W.B. Nowlin got tired of hearing endless talking from the stage. The groups complained that they needed to “talk” in order to sell product. Nowlin disagreed, but needed just the right group to prove his point.

Nowlin made a proposition to Duane Allen and the Oak Ridge Boys: Go on stage, sing your entire set, don’t say a word of introduction to any of the songs, and if you don’t sell as much or more product than you did the last time in Ft. Worth, then I’ll make up the difference.

Needless to say, the product sales were tremendous that evening for the Oak Ridge Boys. They were happy, the audience was happy, and once again, WB Nowlin was correct.

Just thought of another song that might never have launched without the ideal producer, arranger and singer…”We Shall Behold Him.” You have to be in awe of a producer who could hear the song in its original form (Dottie Rambo’s) and imagine what it COULD be (Sandi Patty’s). But even with that kind of imagination, had a young arranger named David Clydesdale not been brought into the equation, I seriously doubt that this song, and THAT career, would have taken Christian music by storm like it did.
