Recorded in Knoxville, Tennessee to a wildly enthusiastic audience, this young and energetic band turn in a powerful performance which unexpectedly has become a souvenir as shortly afterwards the band broke up for reasons that are still not clear. The group comprised of three brothers, Aaron, Jason and Adam and two sisters Kelly and Terah backed by a four piece band. The DVD opens with a very powerful song "Promised Land", followed by four upbeat songs. The vocals of the three men are very clear, but I did find difficulty hearing the two girls words, because the backing is too loud at times. The pace is then slowed down with "Amazing Grace" and several other more acoustic type songs, two of which "Please Forgive Me" and "I Surrender All" I found most moving. If I had to pick a highlight, it would be Jason Crabb's solo preformance of an old southern gospel tune, "I'm Going Home With Jesus", which really gets the place rocking! Jason Crabb is undoubtedly the strongest singer from the group and he has already commenced a solo career. As a bonus on the DVD, all five members of the group share their testimonies and maybe a hint of the future comes from Terah when she admits playing 200 dates a year was becoming somewhat difficult as a mother of a young child.
