Road Trip Review, Day 5, Part B

Wednesday Evening, September 14, 2005 - NQC
As usual...comments are in blue. Asterisks (*) are beside groups that impressed me with their performances. Apologies for incorrect titles.

Sixteen groups performed on Wednesday evening at NQC. I have complete setlists for eight and a partial list for one other. I caught the tail end of the Pfeifers' set as well, but I was eating one of those butter pecan waffle cones and didn't get it written down. Can you believe I went three days to NQC and only had ONE waffle cone? I'm trying to take some weight off, and this proves my determination, I think. :o)

I missed the Jody Brown Indian Family, the first group on the program. In retrospect I really wish I had made an effort to see them. It was their first main stage appearance at NQC, IIRC. They were followed by the Pfeifers.

*Jeff And Sheri Easter (Sheri was GREAT with child...she has about five weeks left before her baby is due. She sounded terrific, and Jeff had several comedic moments about the situation..."I have three words...Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!")
"Why Don't You Try Jesus"/"The Missing Peace"/"Praise His Name"/"You're My Best Friend"/"As Good As Goodbye Gets" (They featured Charlotte on a song. It's about time!)/"Boomerang"

Paid In Full
"Lovin' Out Loud"/"Jesus Did A Work Of Grace"/"When I'll Be In The Rapture"

Greenes
"Miracle In Me" (with an a cappella encore)/"There You Are"/"'Til The Storm Passes By"/"Hold On"/"He's All I Need"

*Kingdom Heirs
"I'll Be A Friend"/"Sing, Shout, Dance"/"Mighty Deep Well"/"Forever Changed"/"I Know I'm Going There"

*Karen Peck And New River
"I Wanna Know How It Feels"/"Just One Touch"/"I'm Gonna Get Up"/"My Lord And I"/"Amazing Grace" (a cappella)/"Four Days Late"

Karen Peck/Charlie Waller/The Dove Brothers
Waller and Peck did a commercial for the SGMA and their Vestal bears at this point in the program while the crew was setting up for Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver. The Dove Brothers concluded the spot with an a cappella jingle.

Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver
"Lay Your Burdens At The Feet Of Jesus"/"As I Sit By The Side Of The Road"/"I Have Found The Way"/"Beyond The Sunset For Me"/"That's All He's Asking"/"Sweet Hour Of Prayer" with "At Calvary"/They concluded with an instrumental that had been popularized by Bill Monroe. They didn't say the title and I didn't recognize it.

I missed seeing the Freemans, Mark Trammell Trio, and the Weatherfords.

Ernie Haase And Signature Sound
This set was already underway when I got back. Tim Lovelace and Tim Surrett were on stage doing something with Ernie's tie. They went into an encore of "Stand By Me" with Lovelace and Surrett joining them in their dance steps and getting them all wrong. After that, they did "This Is What God Says"/"Heaven Holds Much More"/"This Could Be The Dawning Of That Day"

*Talley Trio
"Shout To The Lord" with "How Great Thou Art"/"I Live" (Lauren Talley solo)/"No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus"/"He Is High And Lifted Up" with "Hallelujah Chorus"/"My Jesus I Love Thee" (Roger piano solo)/"Total Praise"

*Legacy Five (This was the best set I've ever seen L5 do...good sound, and seemingly spontaneous humor throughout...though you realized after the fact that most of the jokes were probably planned. L5 was joined on drums by Michael Booth, which I don't think they expected, because Roger asked, "Who's playing drums?" They did the first three songs with no tracks.)
"Shout All Over Heaven"/"Winging My Way Back Home" (The Scotts swapped places with Frank and Glenn on an encore of this. It was Fowler-tenor, Seamans-lead, Dustin-baritone, and Howard-bass. Howard mocked some of Dustin's gestures, and the crowd ate it up.)/"I Want To Be Just Like My Lord"/"Calvary Reminds Me"/"Meeting In The Air"

I missed the last two artists, which were the Hoskins Family and the Booth Brothers.
