Last night S and I along with her cousin D and wife D went to a rather rip-roarin' Christmas concert. Glendale Arena was the most recent venue for the Christmas concert tour put on by Steven Curtis Chapman and MercyMe. Wow!
MercyMe had more of the familiar Christmas tunes (played of course in their more raucous style), while Chapman had a few more more familiar Christian tunes overall.
Both artists started the concert jointly by performaning choruses from selected non-Christmas songs they would not be playing (an interesting and enjoyable concept) after which MercyMe opened their own set with their megahit, I Can Only Imagine. The "regulation-time" portion of the concert ended with both artists performing a raucous arrangement of Go Tell It On The Mountain immediately followed by the chorus from Steven Curtis Chapman's megahit Live Out Loud (a clever segue). The encore was White Christmas with fake snowflakes falling over the main floor. Looks like the musicians had a blast.
My ears are still ringing!
