    I was sitting a few rows behind Sandi Patty Dave. During the concert I looked around at the audience and it felt like the Heavens opened up that night. It was a perfect concert never to be forgotten. I watched every year with my late mom after on VHS. She loved Michael English. In total I saw in 1990, and twice this tour (Chicago, and Milwaukee) Thanks for posting!

      Awesome. I saw it on TV and had met one of the young fellows in the choir. I had met him on a mission trip to the Caribbean a couple of months prior to this concert. He gets a close-up shot during in the video. Anyways, I’ve listening to this concert since then every year during Christmas and more ☺️ I loved every single one of these artists. Hard to choose a favorite. They’re all stupendous ! 🙏🏼

    I love every single piece in this production. My absolute favorites are Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs, and Lift Up Your Heads, O Ye Gates. Best Michael English has ever sounded, in my opinion. But every piece is incredible. I just wish this video had the end of the Hallelujah Chorus! But still a great thing to share. Thank you.
    And great Sax playing, sir!

    Thank you for posting this. While in college in the late 80's, I had the opportunity to be in the orchestra for 'Messiah' and then the following two years, the thrill of singing along and performing with my class mates and others from surrounding churches. A few years after graduation, the New Young Messiah toured in a nearby town and my wife and I were able to see it. To say, my heart soared would be an understatement. I was able to get a copy of the CD and for the next 25 years, whenever I had to work on Christmas Eve or Christmas (Peace Officer), when there was a lag in calls, I would go to my 'paperwork spot', pop that CD in and get my God on. Thanks again for posting

    We saw The Young Messiah Tour In Atlanta. I grew up singing the regular Messiah, so I really really appreciated this just being in my young when 30's. We bought the CD and my kids grew up hearing it all the time. They were homeschooled and no earbuds back then. Thank you for putting it on UA-cam. It is wonderful listening to it 30 year later. Steve Green's performance of "I Know My Redeemer Liveth" was stunning. All the performances are wonderful. I saw Steve Green at Word of Life in Schroon Lake, NY.

    Yes, I remember this concert, this was a pay - per - view concert on tv at the time and called my cable company to purchase this concert and copied it from my VCR at the time. Then a year later around Christmas time 1994, Sparrow Records decided to release the 1993 pay- per - view on VHS format. I am so glad I kept the whole concert that copied from Pay Per View. In My honest I think that Sparrow Records ripped us Christians off and the reason I say that is because they decided to release first half of the concert which were Christmas Carols on VHS and then they released the second half of the concert on another VHS format tape - which was known as the Young Messiah concert. But in reality it was one big concert. So yes, I believe in my utmost opinion I think Sparrow Records should have released the 1993 Pay - Per- View concert on one VHS tape and not divide the concert in two VHS tape format.
