Loaded with good stuff,

This review is from: Remedy Club Tour Edition (CD+DVD) (Audio CD)
This CD/DVD combo has tons of good stuff for the price of a regular CD. These are some of my favorite features:
-the whole concert in 5.1 surround
-the set list for this show is a great combination of songs from their last few CDs.
-the behind the scenes and "learn the songs" features are awesome for any musician. They all go into extraordinary detail on their setups, right down to walking through each pedal on their pedalboards! (for the guitarists). It's also great to find out about the more unusual instruments they have going on (i.e., toy robot, guitar hero controller, keytar, toy piano, etc.). Even for non-musicians, it gives you a great insight and appreciation for the music they make.
All of this is in addition to the fact that this band is wonderfully innovative and has a great sound on top of deep, meaningful, lyrical content. If you like DCB, you'll love them after this DVD. If you've never heard em, this is a great intro and you'll be left...Read more

The special features alone are worth the price,

It's hard to go wrong with this cd/dvd combo. Fans of David Crowder won't be disappointed. The music is fun ,upbeat,worshipful, and the sound quality is good. The dvd is well-shot, and if you turn on subtitles, you get lyrics and guitar chords, which is cool, but if you are a musician, the "Learn the songs" special feature is worth the price of admission even if that was all you got. Here's how it works: You get a menu that has all the band members names. You pick a band member, and another menu opens up that has all the songs on the dvd. Pick a song, and you get video of the band member you selected teaching you how to play his part of the song! They go through the equipment used, effects, etc. then show you step-by-step how to play it! Awesome idea! I play guitar, and it's really pretty cool to sit down (sort of) with David Crowder and have him teach you how to play a song. I hope more praise bands steal this idea (sorry, David). Get this, it's awesome!

A remedy for worship stagnation,

Catchy melodies, simple yet profound lyrics, edgy pop- rock worship. The David Crowder Band is so like the UK band delirious? in that their songs are intrinsically who they are. These are not songs for the studio but are fresh anthems for today. These songs slip in undetected and in the morning you awake declaring that the King is here.
The 5.1 and DTS sound on the DVD is arguably a more engaging listening experience than the studio version as most of the material is written for crowd participation. When the crowd exuberantly sings the refrain `La, la, la, la,` that excitement that this is more than just a concert is sensed each time you watch. New York (which is where this was filmed) is singing for the great King. There are a number of times where this occurs and you are drawn into that experience either singing along with the lyric subtitles (chords included!) or just being undone as you cry out with the violin interlude of `You are my joy'.
This is a perfect hits...Read more
