Last night, Dena took me to my first Christian rock concert (my birthday present). I had seen Jars Of Clay twice in the past, but that was before I thought of them as anything more than just another rock band. We saw The Newsboys at Robert Morris University. To tell you the truth, I wasn't expecting to see/hear much. I'm not exactly familiar with many of their tunes and what I had heard was a bit on the tame/lame side as far as I'm concerned.
Much to my surprise, these guys absolutely blew me away! They rocked as hard as and put on a show equal to just about anyone I have ever seen...except for Kiss, of course. That's really a lot coming from me - I've seen a lot of concerts in my day - Kiss 7 times (5 in make-up), Jimmy Buffett at least 6 times, Rush 4 times, Bob Mould (2), Sugar, Ace Frehely (2), The Ramones, The Kinks, Iron Maiden, INXS, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, The Who, Goo Goo Dolls (3 - when they still rocked), Yes, Ted Nugent (2), Jethro Tull (2), countless local bands, etc.
On top of the great music and absolutely stunning visuals, the addition of God's message and the awesome crowd made the show one the best I have ever seen - definitely top 10 material. If you haven't seen them, I suggest you check them out. What a great time!

any concert that impresses Bob the walking rock history catalog had to be a good one! I would be willing to bet that the Newsboys don't rock as hard as Guns & Moses though...
