Top 100: #54 Live…in Atlanta (Cathedrals)

Release Year: 1983

Album Rank for Group: #7 of 13

Here’s a blurb: What some believe to be the gold standard of live albums, Live…in Atlanta finds the Cathedral Quartet in their element.  The Cathedrals made great studio albums, of course, but to really experience them was to see them live: George poking fun at the old man, Glen getting excited and shaking poor Mark trying to play bass, Roger’s subtle and delightful improvisations.  This album contains all that, and it also happens to contain some great songs, including the signature Glen Payne showstopper, “We Shall See Jesus.”

Knock my socks off: We Shall See Jesus, We Are So Blessed

Don’t skip that one: Everywhere I Go, Movin’ Up to Gloryland, You Can Walk on the Water, It’s So Peaceful

I could honestly do without: I’m Gonna Live Forever
