Michael W. Smith - Live in Concert: A 20 Year Celebration Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Performing before a vast audience at Ohio State University in Columbus on October 26, 2003, this concert is inspiring and entertaining, and a good introduction to the twenty years of Michael's creativity if like me, you are fairly new to his music.
The musicianship is superb, with Michael playing guitar, keyboards and a piano that is a work of art, painted in swirls of color. His band (I would have liked to name them, but the credits at the end were too small) is excellent, with special kudos to the lead guitarist.
The song list:
~ with band ~
"I Still Have the Dream"
"Signs"
"Rocketown"
"Wired for Sound"
"Secret Ambition"
"Hibernia" (a delightful instrumental)
~ solo piano ~
"Love Crusade"
"For You"
"Place in this World"
"I Will Be Here for You"
"Friends"
"There She Stands"
~ with band and guest performer Amy Grant ~
"Lead Me On"
"El Shaddai" (an exquisite solo by Amy)
"Thy Word"
~ with band ~
"Above All"
"Agnus Dei"
"Awesome God"
"You Are Holy (Prince of Peace)"
"This is Your Time".
There is a bonus music video of "Signs" at the end.
total running time 93 minutes.
As far as the sound is concerned, one has to take into consideration this is "live", and the DVD has better audio quality than the VHS.
Movie star handsome and enormously talented, Michael, who his fans call Smitty, just won his third Grammy Award, which he can place next to his 40 Dove awards; a multi-platinum selling composer, singer and musician, he is a marvelous performer, and before the final song, he shares some thoughts with us that are wise and wonderful, telling us how "worship is a lifestyle". Though the pop/contemporary genre is not what I usually listen to, I thoroughly enjoy Smitty's music, and this terrific concert.
