Meece also dropped by
"The Brian Mason Show"
this week to talk about
his Christian Music Hall
of Fame induction, as
well as his
participation in The
Beginnings Concert
DVD/CD collection.
The Beginnings
Concert, an all-new
live concert DVD/CD
collection, features
fresh performances by
some of the founding
pioneers of contemporary
Christian music,
including Dallas Holm,
Leon Patillo, Barry
McGuire, Don Francisco,
Chuck Girard, Steve
Archer, Janny Grein,
Dony McGuire, Reba Rambo
McGuire and David Meece.
Captured over two
evenings, The
Beginnings Concert
event at Community Bible
Church in San Antonio,
Texas, marks the first
time that all of these
artists have ever
appeared together on one
stage.
For this live
recording, these
contemporary Christian
music trailblazers have
given the original
recorded arrangements of
their songs a fresh
sound through the use of
a well-chosen live
backup band and
state-of- the-art
technology, resulting in
an up-to-the-minute feel
while retaining the
integrity of the initial
recordings. The
Beginnings Concert
DVD/CD collection puts
music fans on the front
row of the audience,
allowing them to
experience these
classic, powerful songs
made fresh for a whole
new generation.
The four-disc The
Beginnings Concert
DVD/CD collection
features three hours of
music (with 27 unique
live performances),
testimonies and bonus
features. The first DVD
disc showcases
individual original
performances by each of
the artists, along with
artist testimonies
between songs. The
second DVD disc gathers
all of the artists
around a piano, joining
together to bring to
life some of the
best-known classics from
each artist in the
group. The two-disc CD
collection captures all
of the live performances
showcased on the DVDs so
that fans can enjoy the
broadcast quality music
no matter where they
are. Photo: (L-R):
