God Bless The Usa - Do You Know The Version?

[Rinbee]

Does anyone know the version of the song "God Bless the USA" that we use when the color guard is coming onto the field? I found Lee Greenwood's versions on Amazon but they don't sound quite the same.

I didn't know there was any other version. I have only heard the Lee Greenwood one.

And the Lee Greenwood version is the one played at the stadium.

As a matter of fact, if my old memory serves me right, Lee Greenwood actually performed the song in person at one of the Ravens playoff games(2003 vs the Titans?).

Yeah I didn't think there was any other version. I might have to google and see what I come up with now.

He performed it live at Ravens Stadium twice - before our home opener against the Colts in 2005 and again before our playoff game against the Colts in 2006. We lost both games. Lee Greenwood should never be allowed back into our stadium.
