I was at this concert (actually there were several) at the Rochester Auditorium Theater back in the 70s. The acoustics are fantastic there. The recording doesn't do the song justice. The sound was so fat it just blew you back into your seat. I had goosebumps and the hair was standing up on the back of my neck. It was electric.
Gerry Niewood was in the Army reserve 98th division with my uncle. It really hurt when he was killed in that tragic plane crash over Buffalo years ago. Gerry was a blessing to the saxophone.
Been looking all over for this version. Thanx for posting. Grew up in Buffalo listening to this quasi local hero on the radio all the time and used to crank this on my car radio as I would practically convulse to the slow and steady crescendo at the end. He and Bat McGrath and other friends were around here in concerts for years. What a treat!
We started a college radio station at Southerstern State College in Durant OK in 1970 and this was a most requested album late nights. Good weed, cheap wine, a fine lady and Chuck. That was the booth, don't know what listeners were doing.
Saw Chuck Magione live with Ester Satterfield, Bat McGrath and Don Potter in ~1972 at the Eastman Kodak Theater in Rochester and will never forget the experience
I grew up around the Rochester area and was in the high school orchestra and stage band in the 70's. I loved his music then and I love it now. Subtle but great music !!!!!!
I am fortunate enough to have this magnificent recording on vinyl. I recall watching this with my dad on Channel 13 (PBS) in The Bronx around 1970 or 1971. A thrilling perfomance. Hey Itunes, you only have a 4 minute version of this on some 1971 reunion album. PLEASE issue this full version!
When this came out, I knew that I had to play music! The orchestration is so remarkable, the way that the unity of the song, makes you want to listen to what its saying to you. The mixture of the instruments both acoustic and electric, man, this song has "GENIUS" written all over it! Home town boy, does real good! (Bad grammer intended!)
Man, this is really crazy and wonderful to hear again some 40 years later!...I was 17 when first stumbled onto Chuck when I picked up an album in my house that my brother left behind...and I thought "who is this cool Dude with the trumpet" (or so I thought)...it was the "Together" album and was totally knocked off my feet with Hill Where the Lord Hides....man'o man....quality never diminishes!...thanks so much for the post!
Legendary opus from an epic album. Tons of great memories with each note. Best listened to atop a hill or mountain top at sunset... Thanks for the upload. 🎺😎🎷🥁
I've only heard this jawn on vinyl. I had to have a friend record it on pro tools and burn it on cd so i could play it at my wedding. one of my favorite songs ever. The horns at 4:02 are crazy!
We used to go skiing song mountain (tully ny - midnight maddness) and on the ride in, my roomy would time starting a tape of this tune such that as the final strains we played of the fanastic conclustion of this song faded away, we would roll to a stop at the base of the mountain.
Incredible piece of music! I first heard this on WSDM in Chicago in 1970. At that time WSDM was known as "The station with the girls", as women were rare on FM radio back then. Falconstrap, thank you for this!
OMG! I love this so much!! It moves me every time I hear it and I first heard it on Chicago radio station WSDM back in the '70s. Jess, love to you for uploading the version I'm crazy for.
Time in Rochester, NY
I stumbled upon this after spending many years of trying to get this.
I absolutely LOVE this
I have always loved this song and arrangement since I first heard it in 1971.
OMG OMG I LOVE I LOVE THIS VERSION!!! Superb!!!

I was a student at SUNY when I 1st heard this song and arrangement in 1971. Love this more each year.

I likewise was shocked when I found out about Gerry. Excellent musician...I have his solo album from 1985 on CD. RIP 🌺

Back in the 70s I played this over and over and...
Me too. It was my big sister's album, but I listened to this song so much she finally just gave it to me.
Most unique and underrated theme

Great song from early 70's. Thanks for posting a very good version of this classic !!
Can't this version anywhere...it's the best one in my opinion...the one I remember! LOVE IT!

やっと日本で、チャック・マンジョウネの「神ある丘」を見つける事ができた。LPは持ってたけど､出稼ぎなので聞けなかった。感動。

Why does The Lord lie upon a hill?
Do you assume that because he is "Hiding", he is lying down?
