Gas House Gang - 1993 International Quartet Final

At the 1993 Int'l Contest in Calgary, AL, the Gas House Gang, from St. Louis, MO stepped into immortality as they won the gold medal with the highest score to date.

Rob's baritone on the tag of Where the Southern Roses grow is haunting. He was one of the best. What a great performance.

[@lazydaisyRN]

awesome!

[@stephaniewatts4096]

Yes, he was!😞

[@KPO6859]

They were the finest quartet in 1993 and continued to grow in skills as the years progressed. The loss of the baritone was a tragic event, but we are fortunate to have this video to remind us of the quality singing they shared with loving audiences. They were, to a man, the humblest and kindest men of character and represented the Barbershop Harmony Society in the finest order.

This quartet is what made a teenage me fall deeply in love with close harmony. God bless the gashouse gang

[@iAmHamlet50]

The Right Knight is a crazy performer! I'm really glad theres recordings of these contests. This way i can see this performance from the year I was born!

I had the great fortune to listen to Rich sing "Look for the Silver Lining" when I was in 2nd grade, auditioning for the solo of the same song on "Smile Day"...don't remember exactly why it was named that. Mrs. Lane picked Jeffrey Rogers over me for that but Rich's performance help cement my love of singing...I then later had the Great Misfortune to have to try out for a high school musical immediately after Rich had his try out...thinking, "Why am I even here?" Luckily, my tryout was not a disaster but Rich, of course, got the part that I was up for....A great voice...almost angelic early on...Thanks for those memories and inspiration Rich.

I literally grew up with Barbershop and have seen and heard all the greats but these 4 people have and always will hold a very special place in my heart! Love you guys!!! Stephanie (Trusty) Watts

[@kathrynwilmot4091]

Yes me too j grew up with barbershop as my dad sang hallmark of harmony ( Sheffield England) I also had the pleasure of meeting the gas house gang at Brighton convention it was was a honour to meet them & speak to them fond memories

[@thomaspottie3776]

I remember them fondly at the International in Calgary in 1993, first and only International contest I was able to attend. They have a great sound, fit for a gold med

[@Wiener-Doo]

I just stop by and listen each time I want to smile! ♥

[@terfone16]

The Right Knight's moves are what make this video go from awesome to legendary!

[@Jackman24601]

Rob's little chuckle at the end basically translates as 'trophy's ours, bitches.'

[@patrickruplinger935]

they really are in at a different level...i keep coming back to them years later

[@Wiener-Doo]

I could listen to them every day all day long!

[@jaywalk6]

Counting down my favorite moves by the legendary Rich Knight moves in this performance... #3 "rockin" @4:37, #2 gyrating on Jim's leg @5:11, #1 a masterful transition form the "charlie's angels" into a "michael jackson" @5:52 ...EPIC!

[@stephaniewatts4096]

Awesome performers! Even better people!! ❤❤ these guys! Miss you, Rob.

[@guibox3]

Jeez. I looked forever to find a clip of GHG singing 'All Aboard for Dixie Land' even though I know I had heard it! So glad I found this!!

[@Wahl95]

It's no wonder they crushed the record with this performance... they are TOO clean. Wow.

[@AnswertoLifeis42]

+Wahl95 I feel like even their consonants are at the same time! so amazing.

DAT VHS TRACKING

[@DebraHammondpop2]

They were even better in PERSON!!!

[@Skyfan1000]

Perfection. Probably always my favorite quartet. Thanks to GHG for all the joy you still are giving. Gail Arbetter

[@Skyfan1000]

Never heard a better bari than this. Also, love to watch Jim's expressive eyes and his eyebrows' movements that bring home the song's message.

[@audunseverin]

Man.... !! I never listened to barbershop quartets, but this really got to me. Beautiful!! They were really talented

[@burgundy6933]

A good place to start. Arguably the best quartet to exist

[@csbarahir9183]

I love it. Always.

[@audunseverin]

So good❤️

[@robertstevens1287]

man. Just reminiscing a little!

[@ckblackwoodmusic]

Anyone happen to know where a recording of this could be found without the static? Heard it on a website years ago but that site now seems to be long gone....

[@lorenabriscoe328]

Very nice! Beautiful voices!

[@nicholasanderson5666]

Rich has such a great lead sound. This whole group is amazing!

[@Jackman24601]

"Where The Southern Roses Grow" and I think the second is called "All Aboard For Dixieland", but I'm not sure.

4:10 rich breathes very loudly

[@Wiener-Doo]

I just noticed right around 5:15 when Jim kicks his foot that the guys are wearing socks that match their vests. Cute. ;)

[@mardelsoderstrom5354]

Great harmony

[@TempestTenor]

Rich almost pulled rubber guard @5:52. Epiiiiiiiiiiic

[@nathansimpson5721]

They had such a unique harmony

[@brandonwilliamson5474]

Fyi St. Louis and St. Charles aren't the same city. They're different counties.

[@DoublyBass]

"One more..."

[@kippb]

[@iAmHamlet50]

@stringX90 If you guys were the guys that did the video about International last year (or midwinter, or whatever) then YEAH!
