I have literally been a fan of Amy Grant for as long as I can remember. Her first albums came out around the time I was born. My mom had them on vinyl, and we listened often.
I didn't get into Michael W. Smith's music until a little later. I was nine or ten years old and my mom bought my sister and me one of his records. I had no idea at the time who Michael W. Smith was, but I remember thinking that I was pretty cool and grown up because I had a "rock and roll" album.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this concert. I haven't really kept up with either of their newer music, but I was hopeful that they would sing a few of their older songs. And they didn't disappoint on that. Almost the whole concert was a trip down memory lane.
Part of the concert they sang together and some was solo, although it seemed like Amy was on the stage more than Michael. Some of the highlights for me were Amy and Michael performing Angels Watching Over Me, Emmanuel from the Christmas albums, Sing Your Praise to the Lord, and a group sing along with Thy Word.
Also, Amy's solo, just her and her guitar, of El Shaddai and Michael's performance of Rocketown made my night.
It was a really neat concert, even though they ended it by singing Friends, (seriously I wish that song would go away), and I'm glad I had the opportunity to go.
