"Since the spring of this year, Third Day have supported their latest studio release "Wire," with the "Live Wire Tour." The July 22 show in Louisville, Kentucky was taped for this CD/DVD package titled "Live Wire." I will say I do wish there could have been some more songs included, especially on the CD, which contains 9 live tracks, plus one new studio cut, "Thank You All," a tribute to the fans. Seven of the 9 live tracks are songs from Wire, plus "Sing A Song" (from Offerings II) and "Blackbird", from the band's first album. What you do get here sounds very good, it's a great recording of a very good live show. But the real reason to get "Live Wire" is the DVD, the band's third live DVD. In addition to all of the songs from the CD, the DVD contains 4 more songs--"Consuming Fire," "My Hope is You," "Show Me Your Glory" and "You Are Mine." The DVD also contains a rockumentary, a video for "Thank You All," photos, a promo trailer and a World Vision video package ("Offering"). The "Live Wire" set is a great concert package from Third Day, but I will say you'll want to get it more for the DVD than the CD."

A good way to see what they're like live

"Overall I give this package 5 stars as the music is great and it's always good to see them live but there are a couple things that keep from giving it 5 enthusiastic stars. First of all, the price. $25 is an awful lot these days. If you compare the price to other live dvd and cd packages I think you'll find this one about $5 more and in some cases as much as $10 more. The second small complaint I have is that there's only 9 live tunes (and 1 studio track) on the music disc. It's just an opinon but if it's going to be a true live album shouldn't it be the full limit of what the disc can hold? I've seen third day a couple times in concert and can attest to the fact that they play at least 76 minutes (the max amount of space for a music cd) I would of liked to have more music.



A part from those complaints I think any Third Day fan will be happy with the overall package. The music is great and the dvd is great and worth the money, even if it is a little more than I'd like."

Awesome, awesome package ....

"Third Day, pound for pound, song for song, is the greatest Christian rock band, now that dc Talk is on hold and the Pete Stewart-Lonnie Chapin lineup of TAIT is gone. This DVD, for the most part, does this great group justice. (Although nothing compares to actually seeing them live, standing in front of them, and hearing their songs played in concert - their Little Rock show in May, 2004, was the best-sounding, best-mixed concert I've ever heard.) I wish the DVD's concert portion was a little longer than 64 minutes, but I refuse to dock this set one star because of the accompanying audio CD and the DVD's documentary and extras. Pick it up today. It's well worth the small asking-price. And besides, like the best groups, Third Day sounds even better live than their already-great studio CDs. Hard to believe that it's still the original five guys, without any lineup changes in between their first album and this new DVD."
