A concert a day keeps the boredom away...

Friday night Isaac and I both left work a few hours early because we had to get downtown to be trained for working the Holt International Child Sponsorship table during Winter Jam. It was fun to cut the line (we had to be there an hour before the doors opened) and get right in for free. We went up to a Holt table near the Newsboys merchandise table

I love Tenth Avenue North! Jaime got me into them. Their song "By Your Side" has meant a lot to me during the deployment.

Sounds like a great concert!

[kimana83]

Yeah, they have so many powerful songs, and "By Your Side" is probably the most meaningful to me too, so I can definitely see why it would mean so much to you.

It was! I just wish Fireflight and Newsboys had had longer sets. Half an hour is just not enough time for a band like the Newsboys, whose discography spans more than a decade!

[pansyprincess]

Yeah, Newsboys definitely need longer than a half hour! They played for over an hour at the concert we went to and I was still not near ready for them to be done. lol

That's how it always is with a good band, ya know?

I know I'm totally spamming you with comments but I'm sure you'll forgive me. :P

I loved that the Newsboys did old stuff from BOTH groups which made my inner fangirl just scream louder and louder. Those boys do not realize how much of an impact they made on my life as a teenager. They had substance in their music and they walked the walk instead of allowing the world to influence them. I'm not saying the modern Christian music is of the world or devil just that they were some of the first groups that claimed to be Christians, identify with teens, and set a good example. ♥

I agree...the Newsboys needed much longer than half an hour but at least when they are on tour "by themselves" I know that it'll be worth the time and money to attend the concert! ♥

Yeah, you know how much I hate comments...

The only song they did from dcT at our show was half of Jesus Freak. That was my favorite part of their set, but I wish they had done more.

I loved when people kept saying dcT was going to crossover into mainstream since "Between You and Me" was such a big hit on secular stations, and the boys answered with "(My Friend) So Long" on their next CD. Bwaha.

[modernelegance]

I knew you would understand. :P

I wish they did more as well but for only a 30 minute show I guess they had to pick and choose. :(

"My Friends" seriously is like my favorite DcT song...every time it's on the radio I pretend to be Toby, Tait and Kevin and sing all of the different parts.

[kimana83]

Yeah, I totally understand, but it was still sad.

I'm not sure I can pick a favorite dcT song. It changes with time - like my favorite Hanson song. (Which would make sense, since Hanson and dc Talk are my two favorite bands of all time.) BUT "My Friend" is way up there on the list. We should've sung that one in the Traffic Jam from Hell in TN. ;o)
