Concert Review: Legacy Five (7/22/12)
I didn’t realize how late I am with getting this review up but I trust a late review is better than no review.
A little over a month ago, I had the blessing of catching Legacy Five in concert. I’d not seen a full concert since Roger Bennett died so I was really looking forward to it. This was before they hired Matt Fouch as their bass singer so Stacy Bragg was filling the position at the time.
The concert started with two songs off of their latest project: “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “God Cares for Me.” Then they went into “Still Feelin’ Fine” which I love.
Stacy sang, “Thankful for the Change” and then they sang, “I’ve Been Changed.”
Gus Gaches sang, “For What Earthly Reason” before Scott Fowler and Scott Howard began giving Trey Ivey a hard time. I had to laugh when Scott said to Trey: “They love you because they first loved us.” Trey decided to earn some love in his own right, however, as he played “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.”
“I Found Grace” continues to be one of my favorite Legacy Five songs but this is only the second time I’ve seen them sing it live. After that, the tempo slowed down as they sang, “Something About That Name,” “Holy is Thy Name” and “We Shall See Jesus.”
There was a brief intermission, during which an offering was taken. Then they came back to sing “Strike Up the Band,” “Life Will Be Sweeter Some Day,” and “Destination Known,” one of my newer L5 favorites.
Scott Fowler then told the story of the lady and her daughter who were saved by being at their Memorial Day Sing “by accident.” They sang “Ask Me Why” and ended the concert with “Boundless Love.”
Unfortunately, I forgot my camera so didn’t get any pictures but it was a blessed evening.
