This was the most amazing video. The groups,the songs,and so much more. The sunset during the video was so amazing. I highy suggest this video to anyone.

One Word....MAGNIFICENT!! I watch this at least once a week!!

I THINK THIS IS THE BEST GAITHER VIDEO EVER MADE IT HAS GREAT SONGS LIKE "BORN AGAIN" AND "I DON'T THINK, I KNOW" WHICH HAS MY FAVORITE GROUP, THE MARTINS!

"Hawaiian Homecoming" was filmed and recorded overlooking the beach at the Aston Wailea Resort on Maui Island in Hawaii. The background photography adds an extra special touch to the atmosphere of the concert. The colorful foliage, flowers and sunset are a reminder of the awesomeness and detail of God's creation.

Bill and Gloria Gaither, The Gaither Vocal Band, and Homecoming Friends, Jake Hess, Vestal Goodman, Janet Paschal, and the Martins join together in a full program of entertainment, inspiration, praise and worship.

Highlights for me include: The First Assembly of Church Choir of Maui singing backup for Janet Paschal on "Born Again." They also sang a unique arrangement of "Praise the Lord Every Nation." I also enjoyed all of the numbers with Jake Hess and others from the team. These included "Jesus, I Believe What You Said" with the Vocal Band, and "I Don't Think I Know" with the Martins. Other favorites include: "Hear My Song," "The King is Coming," and Anthony Burger's piano medley featuring "Just a Little While" and "Meeting in the Air."

I appreciated the fact that a full listing of the program with, songs and artists are included on the back cover of this recording. Credits also include the musicians and production staff.

I missed some of the spontaneity of the other Homecoming productions. The audience response lacked the enthusiasm that adds to the excitement of a Gaither Homecoming concert. I enjoyed Mark Lowry's spoof on being a "lead singer" but felt some of the comedy spots have been overworked in earlier concerts. On the whole I was somewhat disappointed with the overall concert.

I purchased a used VHS, rather than a DVD, because I was not sure what I was getting. What a pleasant surprise; it is so lovely! (I fully intend to get a DVD soon). This whole thing is outstanding. There is one song on there that is one of the prettiest I have ever heard, "Hear My Song Lord." /I think this musical was produced shortly after David Phelps came. He was still David, but maybe a tiny bit shy. Guy was so good on this recording, and so was Mark Lowery. Bill Gaither knows talent! I love Guy and David together; they are both so powerful and so different, and kind of basically serious about what they do. Mark was entertaining as usual, and did some good singing as well. Vestal Goodman's "Didn't it Rain" was so cute, and the children loved it. She brought tears to my eyes with "Til the Storm Passes By." There is only room for one criticism of this entire wonderfully lovely piece. Bill and David, where did you get those shirts? (Love you guys anyway.) Mickey Thorne
