"I edited this concert DVD for the Newsboys. I spent around 300 hours selecting shots and finessing edits. I LOVE IT! I have watched it from start to finish more times then I can remember and it still excites me and touches my spirit. It is a wonderfully entertaining and engaging PARTY!



PS Other than the company I work for being hired to produce this video, I am not connected to the Newsboys. I get nothing for writing this review. I did get to meet Peter Furler and he is very genuine. Buy this DVD/CD and you will be so glad you did.



*While Phil Joel is definitely missed, this is still a wonderful concert. Phil is such an iconic member of the Newsboys history. I am sure that he is a very difficult person to replace. I personally think that Paul Colman is a wonderful addition. No, he isn't SRV, but he is a very competent guitar player and adds very good vocals. While there is some overdubbing going on, it was done to enhance the quality of the performance. The majority of what you hear is a live performance. All of the different vocals and instruments were captured separately so that they could perform the kind of mix and EQ work that just can't be done live. Just like the shooting of the video. We captured all of the cameras separately and chose which ones would be viewed after the fact."

This Party isn't "live" at all

"While Indeed a great moment for a groundbreaking tour of the best Christian band of all time . There is little that's actually "live" about this DVD /CD (which is the case with most live albums) First of all , Peter while a great vocalist and the best front man in the industry just has simply never sounded this Pitch perfect live . The Band creates the illusion its live by even keeping certain lyric "flubs" But they cannot trick this trained Ear ! Also Mr Colman also seems flawless on the guitar and in fact he is quite a sloppy guitarist . Overall its visually a good show to watch . They are still a great band , But they are far from a tight musical Machine that they were when Phil Joel and Jody Davis were in the band .



Take this For what it is . If you want a real live album , Go pick up one of the bands live nation cd's from the "adoration tour " and hear how the band really sounds live ... No where near what you have on this release .

"I bought the cd/dvd last week

I want to say i played both the cd/dvd many times and thought it was all good. I'm glad they put the dvd in the collection because its a more

personal experience to see the Dvd. I love the song (Stay strong) which is on the newsboys hits cd . The song was touching and powerful.

as for the rest of the songs they where great and they did a great job singing them. I enjoyed peter's testimony tores the end of the collection

my only negative thought was i wish he did a few more songs after he spoke the testimony ...I undestand you cant put much on a cd but through the dvd

there should of been more bonus songs .

I give it 5 stars for it was one of the best cd collection that fans

will surely love
