5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking, October 18, 2007

This is a fitting end to the life of Audio Adrenaline. It was heart breaking to hear Mark Stuart struggling through singing some of those songs, but overall very good performance. This album also contains the good version of "We're A Band" not the junky version that they recorded in the studio.

The live DVD also offer a complete record of the last concert, if you haven't seen Audio Adrenaline live I highly recommend seeing the video since you'll never see them live again. They were tremendously better live than in the studio, full of energy and life and all from the heart. I actually cried.

The DVD also contains some extra features, interviews and information about the Hands and Feet Project.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classy farewell from one of the three most important Christian bands ever, August 30, 2007

This review is from: Live from Hawaii: The Farewell Concert (CD + DVD) (Audio CD)

Stunning concert document of Audio Adrenaline, bidding farewell to their fans in a beautiful amphitheater setting in Hawaii. As the sun goes down - while the band is pumping out inspired, wonderful versions of "Underdog," "King," "I Get Down," "Clap Your Hands," "Ocean Floor" and a few others - a certain sadness will hit the viewer. It's a somber moment, seeing this band forced to give up being a band due to lead singer Mark Stuart's war-torn vocal cords. Even with his voice just about gone, Stuart gives 200 percent with a smile on his face, working the crowd and inspring his bandmates as they blast through their back catalog. And speaking of Stuart's voice, even though it's rougher here (the video was shot in April 2007) than the band's Springfield, Mo. gig in late 2005, AA still rocks the house. Just when you think you'll tear up (and you will), Stuart reassures you that it's OK. God has other plans for the AA guys as individuals. "It's a celebration," Stuart hollers into the cordless mic, and you can't help but agree. Fighting back tears, Stuart sings the band's latest single, "Goodbye," with the band at the end of the night. Moving, simply moving.
Drummer Ben Cissel, guitarist Tyler Burkhum, bassist Will McGinnis and their "hired gun" friend on rhythm guitar go down blazing, in style and for God. Pick up this DVD/CD combo now ... it'll be best fourteen bucks you've spent in a long time. Great (slow) editing angles and nice fat sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Farewell For Audio Adrenaline, January 12, 2008

This CD/DVD combo is a terrific addition to the collection of any Audio Adrenaline fan.

Not only does it contain the audio of their final concert, it has a DVD of the entire event. The music is great and the DVD is very special.

I was fortunate enough to see them on their farewell tour so watching the DVD was like a very special deja vu. My daughter sang on the stage with them that night when they performed 'Beautiful'. It was fun seeing a couple of other fans having a similar experience a couple of months later on the DVD.

Audio Adrenaline is a class act and this is a very fitting farewell. Every fan should get this and anyone who has not had the pleasure of becoming a fan yet should also get it and become one. Highly recommended!
