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.

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

This review is from: Newsboys Live: Houston We Are Go (CD+DVD) (Audio CD)

As someone who was at a GO tour show, I was quite disappointed at the DVD/CD. It's obvious that almost all of the vocal and instruments have been overdubbed. As a result, there's the odd feeling as if I were listening to a studio recording mixed with a crowd track. I dare assume that one wouldn't expect pitch-perfect vocals and dead-on-the-beat instruments (esp. Duncan's drum fill-ins, which have been heavily edited... Look closely when the camera's zoomed in on him), and as such, I'd be confident in saying that the result, this "live" album, missed what buyers would have wanted, and did so by far. It's disappointing especially since the actual show itself was so good! However, in the defense of the album, if all you're looking for is a glimpse of what the live shows were like, and different renditions of their newer songs, you will not be disappointed.
