Here are the latest updates I can share based on recent reports.
- Vince Gill released an extended version of “Go Rest High on That Mountain” in September 2025 to mark the song’s 30th anniversary. The extended cut adds a new verse and includes Gill reworking original tracks with his new vocal part for the added verse.
- The extended version was highlighted in entertainment press and music outlets at the time, noting Gill’s live performances around the rollout, including a performance at the Ryman Auditorium and appearances tied to the song’s anniversary.
- In late August 2025, reports indicated Gill performed the piece as part of commemorative events, including memorial- or tribute-related contexts, underscoring the song’s enduring resonance.
If you’d like, I can pull more details on the extended version’s track notes, the new verse lyrics (summary only, not full verbatim), or a timeline of Gill’s related performances around the anniversary. Would you like that?
