"I have to write this review under my husband's name because we share the same e-mail. Call me Lisa the Cat. I love the DVD of the concert. Lead vocalist Martin Smith expresses a wide range of emotions with his vocals, facial expressions and body language. He turns from expressing joy and love for the audience to somber compassion for AIDS orphans in Africa to deep, heartfelt love for Jesus. The music is catchy and reminiscent of U2. The lyrics are obviously written by a band who has a deep Christian walk. Lead guitarist Stu G is powerful.



Although the concert was filmed at Willow Creek Church in Chicago, and non-professionals were involved, the quality of the filming, editing, staging and special effects is high.



In the song "Miracle Maker", the filming, editing, special effects--and above all the great lyrics and music, and absolutely fantastic performance by Martin Smith--make for one of the great, classic performances of all time.



The huge visual impact of the DVD is lost on the cd, however, which contains many of the same songs. Consequently, I only ocassionally listen to the cd."
