I bought this through the Hillsong website as I can never wait until the US release. This did not disappoint. The glory of God was shining through these great worship leaders. Not a bad song in the bunch. My favorite was "Healer." Hopefully the US version will include the documentary on it, because that told an amazing story.

If you are a Hillsong fan, you will not be disappointed in the purchase of either the DVD or the CD.

The songs in this album are sooo soul-wrenching. They really remind me every time I meditate on the words that JESUS really is EVERYTHING. If you actually look up the lyrics, you'll realize how powerful the words are. The songwriters are truly devout christians. That's why it's cool if you get the cd, cuz then you have the printout of all the lyrics to yourself right there!

14,000 worshippers, worshipping the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords in spirit and in truth! In my 29 years as a sold out to The Lord Christian I have never experienced God's anointing and manifest presence through the media such as this.

I own several Hillsong DVD's and CD's. I have enjoyed everything they have produced. This is my absolute favorite of everything I have seen. I play it more than any of my other DVD's. When you listen to the commentary you will understand why this worship service was so special and can touch your heart like no other. I am almost 60 years old and can't dance like they do, but they make me want to. I have only one problem with this DVD, I can't just put it on and walk away. I have to watch it. Buy it, you'll love it.

What can I say... I absolutely love Hillsong's music and style of worship, so I just had to add this album to my Gospel/Christian Music arsenal. There are a variety of tracks and I'm sure you'll love them all.

This album is the total package and what I've been waiting for for a while now. If you love to worship, if you love to Praise God, this is the Album for you.

Also if you want to get the full effect of each performance, Get the DVD. Note: Some parts from the DVD are NOT on the CD. When you get it, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Watch it alone, watch it with friends, just WATCH IT! Truly inspiring and amazing to see so many people (young people) praising our God.

I was surprised to see that Amazon still had this product for sale. I own the CD and LOVE it! I have yet to see the DVD and I recently found out that it will be awhile before that will happen as the DVD has been pulled from the stores. The following is a direct quote from the Hillsong Australia music website regarding the DVD:

"It was recently brought to our attention that Michael Guglielmucci's illness is not what we have been led to believe. Michael has confirmed that he is not suffering with a terminal illness and is seeking professional help in Adelaide with the support of his family. This news has come as a great shock to everyone including, it seems, his own wife and family.

We were obviously shocked at Michael Guglielmucci's confession that he does not have a life-threatening illness. Because of the visual nature of the DVD, we are removing all footage of Michael and are planning to replace current stock with the re-mastered DVD shortly. With regard to the CD, we are working with our distributors and retailers to assess what further action is required."


Please be in prayer for Michael, his family and our brothers and sisters at Hillsong.

i love it although when it was shipped there was a minor crack but all in all i love it!

I am sure that this concert was amazing for those who were there but this has to be the most frustrating concert DVD I have ever watched. The film maker did an awful job of documenting the experience. There is no sense of context. Cuts are of extreme close up of a player's hand to a shot of the stage so far away I can't see the band. You have no idea whose hand that was. With a band that has something like 50 people, making sense of who is who is bad enough without having bad editing to deal with. I have no idea how many people are in that band because of the way it was edited. At times it was like watching a concert through a straw. You just can't see.

Actually, the film maker is obsessed with hands. Every 20 seconds there is a shot of either, a close up of a raised hand in the audience, the crowd with raised hands, a shot of the band through some hands, a silhouette of a hand or a player's hand. I bet that 15% of the footage on the DVD is hands.

Between most of the songs it turned into a dream sequence type edit, kind of like the end of the movie "The Natural" when Robert Redford hits the ball into the lights and he runs around the bases in slow motion. That is what the transitions between songs were turned into, which I am sure was not the case live.

The recording was wacky too. The guitar sounded like it was in the room but everything else sounded far away like that part was recorded out by the concessions, especially the vocals. This combined with the camera work made me feel very disconnected and isolated from experiencing the event.

I was really excited to see Hillsong but was let down by this DVD. I won't watch it again....but I hope to find a better live DVD of this band. They deserve better.

I love Hillsongs, especially the United stuff. This is a well done DVD just like we are used to from Hillsongs, however it's a bit slow. The music is excellent as always, but the set is very slow and draggy. I can get being intimate with God and wanting to be ushered into His presence. This went there too fast, and I felt, well... left out. It's good, but not the best I've seen from them.

I really liked all the songs in this album a must buy for any Hillsong fans!
