I got this video along with Campfire Homecoming on the 4th day after order was placed. The packaging was exceptional. Two of the best Gaither videos in recent years. I will buy from Nickalucks again!

I ENJOYED SEEING A SUMMER SCENE.IT ALSO SHOWS SOME OF THE OLD TIMERS AS WELL AS SOME NEW SONGS BY THE YOUNGER SETS, AND SOME OF THE CHILDREN OF SOME OF THESE DEAR ONES. GUY PENRODS DAUGHTER IS ON IT .

This is one of the Gaithers best Video's yet outside of the ones with the Goodmans and Jake and some of the other one's that are gone on. Bill Gaither goes out of the way just to make sure that not only does the music sound good but he also makes sure that all the artists are having a real good time. Wish I could sit in with them and sing one with the gang. Keep up the Good Work Bill and Gloria

A departure from the usual Homecoming concerts, this is a celebration of family, Homecoming Picnic 2008. The picnic at the historic Fiddler's Grove in Lebanon, Tennessee is all in the name of a family event. You will hear how many speak just how much this concert/picnic setting means to them, seeing friends who are like family.

Many new singers are here along with a few of the old timers, like Russ Taff, Lynda Randle, Larry Ford, and Dottie Rambo "Mama Teaching Angels to Sing". Dottie must have died shortly after in May 2008. The Speer Family join in for a tribute to Brock Speer who died in 1999. Ben Speer sings "I Was There When it Happened."

Some performances that stood out for me were the Gaither Vocal Band singing a very beautiful song, "I Heard it First on the Radio". I figured it was Gaither-written because I remember Bill talking about his experience listening to the gospel on the radio Turn Your Radio On; and I like "He Pilots My Ship" with Buddy Mullins and "Farther Along" with Michael English.

You will enjoy the rousing "Sweetest Song I Know" lead by Mike Allen, Russ Taff, Ben Speer, Becky Isaacs, Johnny Minnick, Michael English and Jessy Dixon. I especially enjoy "This Great Caravan Keeps on Rolling Along" and "I'm Living in Canaan Now."

Other performances include: Gordon Mote "Sweet Forgiveness"; TaRanda Green sings "Sky Full of Angels"; and two favorites, and Larry Ford leads for "Palms of Victory"; The Booth Brothers sing "Without the Lord";

Highlight!

Two of my favorite songs include, the very beautiful "Eastern Gate" sung by the Easters, and Jim Hill, who wrote and sings "What a Day That Will Be".

Tanya Goodman Sykes sings "Look for Me"; and several join in for "I'm a Soldier"

Harmonica player Buddy Greene plays "Gentle Shepherd/I Will Serve Thee and along with the Isaacs for "Sally Goodin/Wildwood Flower." Newcomers The Hayes Family sing "Did You Ever Go Sailin".

This is a fun Homecoming Series, casual without an audience and you get to meet some family members. This is fun! Inside pamphlet has lyrics.... Rizzo

This is very good music! They are great Gospel singers. You'd really like it! I watch them on INSP channel and just had to get it to listen and watch over and over. Thanks!

This was a very enjoyable video, as it brought a sense of knowing the people in everyday life, and enhanced watching and listening to the wonderful music.

I had stopped buying new Gaither DVDs and tapes a long time ago. I started with the first video and continued for years. It has gotten so that both the content and the theology has moved away from me. I liked the old time Gospel songs but these new "praise" songs are hollow and the ultra conservative stuff they fill with is not compatible with the teachings of Christ.

Amazon's and the provider's services were good even thought I got the wrong item the first time. Eventually, the provider did make it right. I had caught a small portion of Picnic on TV which happened to be an old Gospel song.

The rest of the DVD is just like the rest of the most Gaither stuff: no historic or inspirational value.
