The disk arrived in a shattered case and the He Reigns song says disk error. I had already pitched the broken case when I discovered the error on that song so I could not return it for an exchange and no address to send it to on the web page. Otherwise it is a great album. Mine is just missing one verse.

They might as well have put an empty mic stand on stage in honor of Phil Joel, because the lack of his presence is obvious on this DVD.
The bass appears to all be sequenced and probably left people at the show wondering where it was coming from.
It appears on the first track “Shine” that Peter was lip-syncing. Either that or the recording had problems and he had to re-do the vocals in the studio for the DVD release. (perhaps the other reviewer who claimed to edit this DVD can shed some light on this)
They really should’ve had a session player sit in on bass, the gaping hole left by Phil’s absence was too distracting for me.
I love the Newsboys, but the DVD left me rather disappointed. I would suggest watching the DVD from the Rock N’ Roll Hall Of Fame.
If you want to support the boys, please purchase the DVD/CD combo on this page, it’s priced very reasonably, and it is good to hear some of the new songs partially “live” anyway.

I was at the Woodland Pavillion for the first taping of this tour, third row stage right. It was an awesome show. When they returned this year to re-tape at the Berry Center, I was there again eighth row. Both shows were outstanding, and would be hard to enjoy the actual energy that was there via DVD/CD. Some people are already writting negative comments, but take it for what is worth. The ‘boys put on an energetic show and were extremely loud. I have yet to get my copy, I am just writting as someone who was there and am eagerly awaitng my copy to arrive!
As for Phil being missed, yes he was. His high pitch vocals and bass were definantly missed. But the Newsboy’s stilled pulled it off without a hitch. Not many bands could get away without doing a tour minus a key member.

Yet another phenomenal project from the newsboys. I was blessed to see this particular tour a total of four times and I can honestly say that the newsboys and their crew did a fantastic job at capturing this tour live. As far as who’s covering the bass lines go, I know its a little confusing but Jeff Frankenstein is now actually covering bass and keys and is now singing backup vocals so it was really great to see him actually in the front of the stage and to see some of his moments he had to shine. The boys were also in great voice when this was recorded, both Peter and Paul sound great, and no its not lip-syncing, just listen closely, shine almost always sounds that great live. Overall I was very pleased with this product, for those who like me were blessed enough to see this tour live, it brings back wonderful memories and gives you an in the audience feel to relive the Go Tour forever, the picture is great and gives you views from very interesting angles, the sound is crisp, clean and just sounds great. This is without a doubt the best live project the newsboys have ever released and one of the best released this year. The one surprise I was delighted to see on this project was Peter singing lead on “Entertaining Angels”, it was absolutely beautiful, and who can forget the fun element the newsboys bring that no other band has, such as the spinning “drum solo” and songs like “Wherever We Go” and “Breakfast” just make the show plain fun. I hope you buy this live CD/DVD combo, it is truly moving and awe-inspiring and proves that this band is still committed to what they do day in and day out.
Blessings

My wife and I have used these for Christmas gifts this year. We are ordering more to give away. I think it shows the freedom that comes from knowing the grace of God in your life and the fun that comes with being the person you are free to be. With their variety of songs there is a song and a message in there for anyone. God bless the News Boys and all their staff for their time given to us for our enjoyment
