"This DVD features the show held in Nov.,2005. Many major talents are represented here, like veterans Jimmy Dickens and Bill Anderson to newer stars like Brad Paisley and Trace Adkins. Great songs such as Ricky Scaggs' "Black Eyed Suzie" and Trisha Yearwood on "She's In Love With The Boy" and many other popular favorites from such artists as Vince Gill, Charley Pride, Martina McBride and Alan Jackson. The shining gem of the evening though, is Alison Krauss & Union Station's performance of the Patsy Cline tune "She's Got You". Alison's crystal clear voice will give you chills.

This show was well produced and recorded, it's a keeper!"

Fantastic musical event!

"For the third time in history instead of going to Nashville to visit the

Grand Ole Opry, the GOP goes to New York to interprete their genuine

Country music. The first time it happened back in 1947, the second time

in 1961 and on the third occasion, the event took place on Nov. 14th 2005.

Led by country star Vince Gill, this musical reunion is just fantastic

with today's and yesterday's wonderful country artists ranging from

86 year old Little Jimmy Dickens to the nowadays top singers like

Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins, Martina McBride, Alison

Krauss etc and Vince Gill himself. The sound quality is superb which

shouldn't surprise us because the live concert is held at the world

famous Carnegie Hall. That's why all of the artists give their best

possible interpretation because they feel so "honoured" to act at this

music hall. If you like Country music, this is an ABSOLUTE MUST! and

if you like all kinds of music it's a must as well because it's not

just Country: it ranges from classic to rock and the various back up

groups also act at an enormous high musical level. Don't let this

musical occasion pass you by!

"Over here in The Netherlands nearly nobody knows people like Vince Gill and Martina McBride. What a bloody shame that is!

When Vince Gill is singing Go Rest High On that Mountain with Allison Krauss and Ricky Scaggs the world stops turning for me. I nearly can't imagine that there are people in the world who wouldn't love this song. I simply get tears in my eyes. Vince is for me by far the best country vocalist on this planet.

And how awesome are Martina McBrides' both songs. For me she's the huge queen of country female singers. With power and passion she sings, just awesome. What a pity she doesn't sing a duet with Vince, a missed chance!

It's a pity that there are some singers who shouldn't perform on this dvd, but what the heck, YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO BUY IT!!"
