This a very good concert. The only thing I don't like about it is that the guitar needs to louder. Other than that, this is one of my favorite CDs. It's cool to hear the original studio versions of these songs and then listen to the live versions. Some the songs if not all, are played differently than the studio versions. Which is an awesome thing to do live. Plus there are two great songs (Nothing but the blood and I know) on here that are not on any Michael W. Smith CD.

I like the music but Michael stretches the songs out a lot with no words. Also, he repeats words and sayings over and over like in Nothin' But the Blood.

I am a fan of Michael W. Smith and enjoy most of the music he has written. However, this album I found to be too loud and some of the words of the songs are hard to hear. I have severeral albums by him and his album "Lead You Home" is a truly remarkable CD of a gifted songwriter/singer.

I was at the concert from this tour and this album expresses the energy and fun of that time period. One of my top 10 albums!!! When I'm down this is the one I pick up to get me happy again. Just close your eyes and pretend you are at an incredible concert. Enjoy!!!!!!

This was the first contemporary Christian album that I bought--about nine years ago--and it remains one of my all-time favorites. I especially enjoy listening to it in my car on long road trips. It's a must-have for any Smitty fan.

I love this CD! It's probably my favorite. It has all of the classics, only they are a little more upbeat and even MORE enjoyable! If you are a new fan, this is a great one to buy to sum up the Eighties. Two thumbs up <><

If you like Michael W. Smith's older music (which I most certainly do) this album is ideal. He sings You Really Need A Saviour, Could He Be The Messiah, Friends and Rockettown which are classic. They are excellent which shows that he is one of the best songwriters, even in 1986.

This was not Micheal Smith at his best I give 2 stars. George Bretz.

I've been a MWS fan since about 1988, and there really isn't a song by him that I do not like. In fact, to this day, he remains my all-time favority male contemporary Christian soloist. I've seen him twice in concert at Creationfest West and thoroughly enjoyed his live performances, but this CD is awful. It in no way captures the energy and talent that this guy has--the recording quality is absolutely abysmal, sounding as if it were recorded by some concertgoer in the crowd who smuggled in an old tape recorder (or an answering machine, for that matter).

If you want to know what MWS is like in concert--go to one--he's extremely entertaining and a wonderfully talented artist...just stay away from this CD. I hate to rain on the little parade of 5-star reviews here, but if you have anything more than a cheap boom box on which to listen to this CD, you'll likely regret your purchase (I've listened to my copy twice and can't bear to pull it out and listen to it again). Stick with his legitimate studio recordings and you won't be sorry.
