Casting Crowns do an amazing and fun worship concert. I saw them in concert at the Toyota Center in Houston and was not let down. The opening band was John Waller then followed by Leeland. Both are awesome.
This concert was appropriately titled “The Altar and the Door Tour,” after the most recent release from the Casting Crowns. Mark Hall, Casting Crown’s lead singer, challenged the thousands of people who filled the stadium to not lose sight of the altar when they leave.
The Crown’s put on an excellent worship concert. The concert was focused on worship but fun was mixed in. Mark Hall and the rest of the band are hilarious. The drummer (Andy Williams) definitely topped it off with a great solo that was equally funny!
Go see the Crown’s!
Leeland is the second act after John Waller and before Casting Crowns as the headliner. Leeland was fantastic as I expected.
I saw Leeland at the Toyota Center in Houston. I heard so many people saying how well the worship concert was with all the bands. The concert was all about worship and never seemed to be centered on a performance. I recommend to go see Leeland if you have the chance.
John Waller is traveling with Casting Crowns and Leeland. John Waller is the opening act and for a small band did an excellent job. He did 3 songs and the crowd responded pretty well considering most people were still coming in and getting situated. 3 songs definitely wasn’t enough! I wanted another 1 or two.
This is a great opening act. Great hearts seemed to come out in his words.
Third Day launches Chronology, Volume Two (2001-2006)
Sounds like … the more adult contemporary friendly side of Third Day’s Southern pop/rock catalog, closer to Hootie & The Blowfish and MercyMe than The Black Crowes or Lynyrd Skynyrd.
At a glance … the DVD documentary is excellent, but the songs—from the second five years of Third Day’s career—are an unfocused mishmash of covers, live tracks, and tepid AC pop.
Interestingly, almost a third of these songs are not by Third Day, which is especially frustrating considering that at least six No. 1 hits were excluded between the two compilations. At least the DVD is worthwhile, particularly for its excellent hour-long documentary of the band’s history, plus some good live footage. Whereas Volume One felt essential, encapsulating the early years of one of CCM’s greatest rock bands, Volume Two is better left for fan clubs and completists.
