This was one that I wasn't entirely sure that I would enjoy. Yes it is Christian music but there are some types of music that annoy me. There were a lot of people there and my girl friend loves Rebecca St James and Barlow Girl so I got drug along. Unlike the Indescribable tour this one had too many lights and they were obnoxious rather then adding to the music. There was a screen that had some video on it but it wasn’t anything impressive. For the first two artists (Barlow Girl, and Jason Lavik) they didn’t use the lights as much and the atmosphere was better as a result. The good thing about it all was the message. Rebecca St James got up front and talked about Compassion International (a non-profit organization that helps children in third world countries) and played a video from when she went over there and got to meet some of the kids. They asked that anyone who didn’t support a child already seriously consider sponsoring a child. The problem that I have always had with this type of music is that it tries to be something that it is not. The artists and the crowd act like they want to be at a rock concert but they aren’t. That along with the blinding lights made this an annoying concert to visit and something that I would not readily repeat.
