all I can say is awesome! August 13, 2008
This cd rocks! This is Toby at his finest. All his best on one cd plus some greats from dcTalk. The dvd of the concert is great. I listen to this all the time. If you are a fan of TMac, this should be your next purchase.
Toby Mac concert is off the hook! July 30, 2008
Toby Mac is phenomenal at really portraying the Christian life as it should be: an everyday party celebrating our Lord Jesus Christ. There should be no if's, and's, but's about it, we need to enjoy being Christians and Toby and the Diverse City Band are a great example. Buy this CD/DVD pack and you'll be ready to "Turn On the Ignition."
The Best (Recomendo) July 28, 2008
The live performances were incredible, the best I have been to, so when I heard they were making a DVD I could not wait.
Its just a very high quality production all the way around.
Br- Muito bom esse dvd, infelizmente os americanos acham que so existem eles na face da terra e nao sao nem capaz de por uma legenda em ingles para facilitar uma traducao, mas mesmo assim vale a pena.
Comprei-o pelo Site atraves de DirtCheapMedia.

Excellent graphics, music and esp liked the interview with band members. I watch it often for reinforcement of Christian values as well as entertainment.
 TobyMac: Bringing The Energy July 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Concert CD's are a bit hit or miss. Most can succeed by drawing the listener into the audience, and make them part of the experience, with the energy, sing-a-longs and the like. However, if you just do a straight up live CD and don't try to bring the energy or new material, you'll flop every time. Thankfully, when it comes to Christian Music Mistro TobyMac, you don't have to worry about a lack of energy.
During uptempo songs, he'll be jumping on the stage, in the air, and in the concert's most satisfying moment, into the crowd. And it's not just Toby; his band is as energetic and get their party on just as easy, and every member gets their moment. I especially enjoyed Toby's guitarist, Tim Rosenau, with his great work on the guitar and the trumpet. He looked like he was having a pretty good time, getting into the action and the energy, all while strumming at the guitar.
But, to experience this high energy atmosphere, you have to watch the DVD, because this energy is only amplified by the camera works that zips, zooms, jumps, and then zooms again. It's like everybody took a can of Red Bull before starting the concert.
There are some problems with the collection though. You might listen to just the CD portion, maybe twice when you own this collection, even if you're a hardcore Mac fan. By the contrast, the CD actually seems a bit sleepy, and a bit devoid of a jolt. But even if you watch the DVD, there are a few songs that just don't translate to this live CD. "Boomin'" was meant to be boomin' out your car studio in full surround sound stereo in your car. Live, it just sounds like it's missing something.
The song selection is pretty good. All the hits, and a few favorites from DC Talk. However, all those songs you didn't really care for on the albums, your opinion isn't likely to change on them with this CD. While I did like "J-Train" a little better, I only liked that crazy energy with the others.
But wait, that isn't all, I must either criticize the audience, or the sound guy, because when Toby had the crowd sing along to a couple songs, the crowd sounded pretty weak. Whether the mike just didn't catch it, or this was a Monday concert, we might never know.
Overall, a must for Mac fans. It's energetic and you get the feel when you're watching the DVD. And while the CD won't serve you much use, the DVD will be your companion for all those sleepy study nights. I don't know what TobyMac will do next, but he always seems to have something new up his sleeve, and it's usually something pretty good. But next re-mix CD, is going to have a lot of ground to cover.
