LIVE RECORDING UPDATE

Ignore that out of date thermometer to your left there. YOU GUYS GAVE EVERY LAST PENNY NEEDED TO MAKE THE LIVE RECORDING!! WOW! I'm still amazed that it worked.

So, here's what's next:

  • Brian is getting in touch with the venue we'd like to record at in Knoxville and once he has their open days we'll pick one - hopefully in late September or early October - and let you know when and where. We'll also be hitting you up to spread the word about the concert to everyone within drivable distance of the place. Thanks in advance for that!

  • I'd like to make a DVD. So here's the idea and how you could help. If you have a DV or other cool camera (other cool would be an old 16mm for instance) annd would like to film the concert shoot me an e-mail or post a comment here with a link to anything you've shot. You can upload video for free to youtube and send me that link. A couple of people will have back stage access as well and be able to film anything that happens that day if they so desire. Then, when the day's done we'll collect and edit together all the footage. I'd like to add a commentary as well telling the stories behind certain songs, why I'm singing a different lyric than the CD, what I'm looking at or laughing at on that serious song, what I had for dinner, the exact weight of my hair etc. So if you're interested let me know. It would be great to work with you.

  • Tell me what songs or stories you want to hear on the live DVD. Was there something you heard once at a show and thought, "Man, I wish my friend in Paraguay could hear this?" Well, now's your chance. You get to A&R the CD. What do YOU want to hear? (Keep in mind this is an acoustic disc.) Just tell me in the comments of this post.

    I'll keep you updated on the live recording as it progresses.

    No I do not want to hear the Welcome Home story. I know it's funny...sorta but I've heard it so many times. I DO wanna know what your hair weighs! I wanna hear the stories about your kids and hanging out with Beck. Okay so I'm looking for more of a comfy fluffy couch to sit on and listen to you as you just kinda ramble about your family and growing up. I love see the personal side of artists makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I will check my calendar to see if I can come. It's live I am dying to be there!

    I really enjoyed your commentary on Isaiah 6 and the "historically accurate" ;) Louis Armstrong story you told in Raleigh last month. Your background information on and experience with Compassion Intl. was also helpful to hear.

    I'd like to hear Peace Has Broken Out...I haven't heard you do that one live before and it's one of my favorites. Then there's a song called Lay Them Down I haven't heard on CD or live... would you consider doing that one?

    You must do my absolute favorite of your songs, "Abba Father." I was so glad you did it in Pasadena in January.

    I don't think I've heard the story about "Welcome Home," so I wouldn't mind hear it.

    I totally think you should do Without You along with the story behind it.

    I second the Bebo story and the "Without You" story. Also, I think everyone would want to hear about the mother/son conflict that broke out during "Peace Has Broken Out" last year in Greensboro.

    So, my TN geography is not good. Is Knoxville further east than Nashville? 'cause if it is, I am so there, unless you do it while I'm on my honeymoon.

    I figure you're probably looking for serious videographers, but I thought I would share anyway.

    Here's a video I shot and edited on my old analog camcorder. It's interviews with strangers about worship that we showed at my church before a sermon one Sunday. Check it out soon. It may not be up forever.

    I have a better 3-ccd DV camera now with optical image stabilization and true widescreen capability.

    Shaun, I would love to hear the story about the spiritual gifts that leads into 'Damage Done'.
