Jesus Live! is a multi-media musical that will be touring Britain in '94. As usual with Jesus Fellowship recordings the sleevenote utterly lacks musician information (these guys don't even tell you who wrote the songs let alone who's playing them!) but I can report the musicians here have an excellent feel for rock and funk rhythms. In fact the whole thing is thoroughly contemporary with a particularly 'wicked' guitarist while several of the songs stand up to repeated listening though I'm not sure lyrics like "Joyful rise, Worship Father, Son/Vibes of sound all around/We're aware of God" stand up. The biggest flaw in the recording are the lead vocals. Maybe they were recorded live but a number are painfully flat.
