For all who are questioning. These guys are REALLY THAT GOOD that nothing was inhanced and no 'OFF SCREEN' additions to vocals. The Gaithers have been singing like that for years!
I’m in the UK and get to share this with my American friends every year. I have to listen 4 times to watch each mans efforts. It’s amazing to listen to, even I feel patriotic.
Whoever disliked this video hates music and probably America. This is by far the best version of this song I've ever heard. It's so powerful and the harmonies are so well synced with one another. This is real music, not that pop garbage they play on the radio.
It sounded like the heavens were opening up when I listened to this. I don't think angels could sing this well. Best Start Spangled Banner I've ever heard, hands down.
Wheww that tenor is blazing! But that base drop on the last note sent me. Still the best version of the Star Spangled Banner I’ve heard to date 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is the best version I've ever heard. David Phelps hitting that high C at the end is amazing. But also major props to Bill Gaither for dropping that low C at the end. They all sound amzing together.
Breathtaking, superior talent. Wish professional sports would open every game with class talent like this. Very unfortunate to see fake artists open up games which at times they don't even know the words. This is just to say real born talent is always transparent, God bless these guys.
After the recent disasters of Pink and Fergie, I now declare GVB the only singers who can perform The Star Spangled Banner at public occasions. Pitch perfect. Harmonising master class. Marvellous.
I watch this whenever I need to feel better, and right now I needed this badly. Our nation is in dire straights right now and being a veteran who faithfully....that's right I said faithfully served our/my country, it hurts me to the core of my soul the direction we are being led. Heavenly Father I offer thanks for this wonderful song sung by these gifted singers to praise Your name and ask Lord, guide our nation back to it's time of true freedom which we have lost. In Jesus most holy name I pray. Amen. God bless America.
Me as well, my friend. It's one of the very best versions of The Star Spangled Banner. Brings tears to my eyes every single time. God Bless The U.S.A.!
I wish they would make this available for download, I would gladly pay money for this. They knocked Whitney Houston's version out the box, they harmonize with each other so beautifully.
If you have an android phone, download youtube downloader. First you will need 1 mobile market (full version, not lite. Google market has the lite. Search google for the full one its free and everything in it free) once you download the youtube downloader you can download any video as a video or mp3. Good luck
Absolutely amazing I get chills already when I hear this song it just does something to the little patriot in me but this almost makes me cry it's so good so proud to be an American
This may be the best rendition of this song that I've ever heard. Glad to have learned of it. If I was a person who booked the folks that sang this before sporting events...I would DEFINITELY want to hire these guys!
Wow... I have heard this group over the years on youtube and every time they sing this, I tear up, goose bumps appear and I feel proud to be an american. Well done gentleman... well done.
The guy singing in the lowest register is doing a very excellent job hearing himself through all that, the harmony is spot on...everyone sang beautifully, loving the 7ths, 9ths, harmonics, overtones yadda yadda
Can these guys sing this in the Super Bowl please?
***** No joke, I just said the same thing.
Can they sing in EVERY Super Bowl?!?
Replace Fergie at least. Yikes

Hell Yeah!
Man, David Phelps with the curly hair is on beast mode, especially that note at the end....he was up there!! Great rendition!!
High C
David Phelps, man. that guy is legendary. I saw him once when he was opening for a band I liked and it was amazing. that guy's voice is killer.
The tenor with the curly hair is more likely a male alto. lol. You're right, though.
He's one of the greatest male singers ever
No doubt! Incredible voice used with incomparable skill.
Did anyone else catch the bass dropping out on the last note? Brought me to tears.
Fair is fair. I'm glad you won.
Love, UK.
Best comment ever...lol!!!
Andy Surtees Hey, we won 2 world wars together. God save the queen.

Shoutout to the guy on the left pumping out that Low C like it's his job. I wish I could sing it as easily as he can
Nick Wathen Pumping out that low C actually is his job.
Nick Wathen Totally. Guy is a beast. Great arrangement.
Nick Wathen Bill Gaither is a living legend in his circle; southern gospel music would not be what it is without him.
Thats papa Gaither himself
I can sing that C2 and I’m a freshman in high school
I've seen this around 60 times I'm at a loss for words each time.. Their blend of voices is really just spectacular
+David W me too and i am not even american!!!!
I get chills every time I watch this.
David is one of the greatest tenors the world will ever have. (Nice name by the way)
It never gets old. Never.
That is just a ridiculous amount of talent in one room...
Whoever's belting those top notes needs a record deal immediately
David Phelps, second from the right. Extremely talented.
And the low notes
Cause his tone
david phelps
David Phelps lol. Monster
I'm British.... Yet my good god, I stood up for every second of that! Damn, I nearly cried!
much love and respect to you brother!
Gareth Westwood Cheers. US Navy

That was the most beautiful version I've ever heard. Ever. This should be played at all sporting events.
Makes me feel like a patriot, and Im not even american.
Same here.
Same here.
나도ㅋㅋ their singing just gave me chills
Same
Same here
That is THE most powerful clear C2 i have ever heard. Tenor is amazing but do NOT sleep on that bass
Eh, you must not have heard many low basses, then. Plenty of basses are stronger, more resonant, and clearer than Bill was.

Yeah that's true talent
Yep, I recognize Micheal English and Mark Lowry but for the life of me I can not remember the others names. Vocals like that are amazing.
Jean Field
Bill Gaither is the man on the far left (looking at the screen)
Thanks, it's been awhile so I couldn't remember everyone. I recognized Mark Lowry and Michael English. Awesome.
Jean Field
David Phelps is to the left of Mark Lowry
This is how you sing the national anthem🙌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Oh my God I can’t ever get tired of these fantastic voices..God Bless you guys.Absolutely FANTASTIC man!
I’m in the UK and get to share this with my American friends every year. I have to listen 4 times to watch each mans efforts. It’s amazing to listen to, even I feel patriotic.
Hahaha I do the same thing also. I like to admire each voice.
This is the absolute BEST performance of the National Anthem I have ever heard. Nothing else even comes close. Thank you for this gentlemen!
by far the best arrangement in my opinion !!
This is an outstanding rendition and performance. However, I also recommend your hear the Gas House Gang do their rendition with only four voices.
Every time I choose to rewatch this I end up watching it like 20 times in a row lmao
Best singing of the national anthem I've ever heard
Whoever disliked this video hates music and probably America. This is by far the best version of this song I've ever heard. It's so powerful and the harmonies are so well synced with one another. This is real music, not that pop garbage they play on the radio.
I got goosebumps holy crap this is beautiful
Beautiful! no riffs, no runs! Just beautiful!
I’m Australian and absolutely LOVE THIS!!!
God given talent gentleman 🫡
I've listened to this a hundred or so times & I still get chills...
David Phelps is a BEAST with that C5 on the ending note.
I am from the UK. I actually shed a tear when I heard this. Truly one of the most beautiful things my ears have had the pleasure of hearing.
this is just plain AMAZING. God bless America. who ever unliked this is just unAmerican.
It sounded like the heavens were opening up when I listened to this. I don't think angels could sing this well. Best Start Spangled Banner I've ever heard, hands down.
returning to this a few times every year.
I have never been more proud to be an American.
Brilliantly performed! I havet listened to it at last 20 times and I'm still not at all tired of it
Best ever arrangement of our natl. anthem! None better than the Gaithers.
Spine tingling...
I'm not even an American.
Goose bumps, tears, and a heart filled with love for my country, teh greatest country ever to have existed. Thank you for this
Wheww that tenor is blazing! But that base drop on the last note sent me. Still the best version of the Star Spangled Banner I’ve heard to date 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Marvin Gaye's version is good too
This should definitely be heard all over the world! Via the Super Bowl!
I'm a Brit and this has got me in tears
I tear up every single time (in Australia)
This is the best version I've ever heard. David Phelps hitting that high C at the end is amazing. But also major props to Bill Gaither for dropping that low C at the end. They all sound amzing together.
Absolutely beautiful and heart warming that someone can sing it, not screech it, and do the song respect and justice.
this is the BEST IN HISTORY!!!!
i could watch this a million times
by far, the best I've ever heard. They need recognition! super bowl, tv, sheesh! something!
C freaking 6 at the end? Shut the door! AWESOME!!!
C 5 actually. C 6 is high c in the female octave 😬 but still incredible.
Ahh, you're right I mixed up my octaves. :P
Did you hear Gaither(the bass on the left) go down another octave at the end??? Hit a C1or 2!!!!?
that last bass note tho
I came back to listen to that low C
bontyjarron not recorded live.
It never gets old. Ever.
This takes my breath away, every time I hear it. My God this rendition is amazing.
Papa Gaither dropping that low C and David Phelps on point. Fantastic.
1:37 This is a perfect way to 'Gear shift' sing
This puts every other version of the anthem to shame. 👏👏👏👏

I tried to sing along to Bill Gaither's part, and nearly threw up trying to hit that octave drop at the end. So impressive, all around.
OMG... This i by far the most awesome group of voices I've heard. Respect to these gentlemen.
Breathtaking, superior talent. Wish professional sports would open every game with class talent like this. Very unfortunate to see fake artists open up games which at times they don't even know the words. This is just to say real born talent is always transparent, God bless these guys.
Actually, NASCAR had this group sing the anthem at one of their big races. It was great, the video is somewhere on TH-cam.
Who are the people giving this a thumbs down ?? This is, by far, the best version of the song ever recorded.
Agreed.
This gives me chills every time I watch this video, what a group
I just don't see how it could get any better than this.
so much power from the tenor in those notes towards the end
Absolutely incredible. God is good to use such gifts to be used for His glory.
Wow! Had to listen to that twice just to take it all in, actually make that 3 times. Beautiful singing, I'm going to have to listen many times.
After the recent disasters of Pink and Fergie, I now declare GVB the only singers who can perform The Star Spangled Banner at public occasions. Pitch perfect. Harmonising master class. Marvellous.
You should listen to The Gas House Gang (barbershop) sing it, too. Their's is my favorite and this is second.
Without a doubt the best piece of combined singing I have ever heard. Absolutely breath-taking
Good God they sounded AMAZINGG!!!! Wooo, almost gave me chills 😮💨
thats how it should sound each and every time it is sung. love it.. beautiful
Those harmonies are orgasmic!
I listen to this every other day to remind me of the greatness of this country
I come back here regularly, too. Like someone else said in these comments, "I dare you to kneel for this."
the bass! Lord have mercy!
Wow! Goose bumps! So So beautiful, love Acapella, really shows how talented they are. Can't wait to share it.
The best GVB training. Love
I watch this whenever I need to feel better, and right now I needed this badly. Our nation is in dire straights right now and being a veteran who faithfully....that's right I said faithfully served our/my country, it hurts me to the core of my soul the direction we are being led.
