Over 75 minutes of live worship so only the praise and worship completist (if such a strange animal exists) would winge that a track or two have been dropped from this reissue of two seminal albums. The musical strengths and minuses are obvious. On the plus side here are many of Dave's greatest songs "So Freely", "I Am A New Creation", "God Of Grace" and "Shout For Joy" while there is a joyful bounce in Dave's exuberant performance. Though it becomes somewhat exhausting over 75 minutes. However, it does exude the spirit of praise. The minuses are an eccentric sound balance, many of the instruments being inaudible. But if you're still catching up on one of Britain's most gifted worship songwriters, this compilation is worth investigating.
