Robert Blair & The Fantastic Violinaires LIVE Labor Day 1990

This is a portion of the concert set from Robert Blair & The Fantastic Violinaires recorded LIVE at the Annual Gospel Family Reunion Labor Day Program in Greenville, NC from Labor Day September 3, 1990. The Violinaires hit the stage after a powerful set by Doc McKenzie & The Hi-Lites. Just three months before this program, Robert Blair was hospitalized with double pneumonia and this show was one of his first performances after a prolonged stay in the hospital. Robert Blair's testimony is included at the beginning of this clip. Catrick Moore handles most of the lead duties but Robert Blair takes a stab at lead a few times throughout. The set includes “I Call Jesus”, “The Lord’s Prayer”, “Old Time Religion”, “Sing With The Angels” and “Where He Leads Me”. All songs mentioned above are included with the exception of “Where He Leads Me”. The late Isaiah “Little Shot” Jones is featured on “The Lord’s Prayer”, a song that has recently become a part of the Violinaires touring repertoire again.

In the words of Mr. Blair, "Good God Almighty from Zion!" It's always a treat to watch Robert Blair & The Fantastic Violinaires! They never fail to show up and show out for the LORD! Mr. Blair couldn't help but SANG! He refused to let that ailment keep him from singing and praising the Lord! What a performance! Beautiful! Thank you for uploading these videos! They're truly a blessing!
