Recorded over three nights in 2009 at Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall, the DVD features the 400-voice choir with special guests Kristyn Getty, Bethany Goodine, Brad Goodlne and Gamucharai Nhengu. The Praise Gathering choir was started in 1985 with an invitation to anyone with a heart for God to join, regardless of training or experience. The result of this vision is evident here with powerful performances on "Hallelujah To The King Of Glory" and "Let All The World Sing Praises" the latter also featuring Brad. Where the DVD falls down is there is a lack of imagination in the images shown. For example, there are no audience shots and more could be made of the screen images shown behind the choir - only in the bonus track "It Is Well With My Soul" do we see any. Subtitles or lyrics would also be useful. That said, hearing "This Is Our God" sung by 400 people is simply breathtaking!
