I saw David Crowder Band and Third Day in concert last night at Liberty University. Both bands did an excellent job, but I’m not used to seeing Crowder as an opening act. I’ve seen Crowder play four times since October 2004, and every time, he was the main performer except for this time. I guess that Crowder is still not a big name, even though I think that he’s one of the best musicians alive, and his songs are widely used in churches. I don’t think that Crowder does as well live on his rock stuff, which is largely what his current album is. He’s a great worship leader, so I prefer seeing him when he’s leading worship as opposed to performing or when he’s touring with a mostly worship album.
Third Day did a better than expected job as the headline act. I have to admit, I’ve never really gotten into their music. I would have preferred to have Third Day open for Crowder, but I think Third Day has more name recognition, since their music tends to get picked up on the God stations. Third Day has an amazing keyoard player, and he toured with a Hammond organ. Makes me want to get a Hammond and start rocking out on it. I may have to get the new Third Day album yet.

HAHA! God stations…
You’re the only Christian who I’ve heard use that term…usually I hear it from people who hate Christianity and resent the existence of any kind of Christian broadcasting.
I took the term from a pastor who uses it to refer to the stations that he feels are pointless for churches to advertize on.
Q: “Why can’t you run your ads on the God station?”
A: “It’s not the people who listen to Christian radio that need a doctor. It’s the people that listen to Howard Stern.”
