I was there at the very beginning
DC Talk came back to my town because there manager is from here and so the band always starts a new tour at the CFC. I remember back in 1993 me and my younger brother would spend time after school at the Christian Family Center where my dad worked at. The band came and rehearsed here and met me and my brother hanging around. They were the best guys you could concive of. They hung out with us, ate lunch with us and even let us watch rehearsals and come back stage afterwards. I should mention that my brother has special needs and a learning disability. This contributed even more to how floored I was when Kevin Max Smith himself gave my whole family 4 of his personal tickets to the very first Free At Last concert ever,for free. I was only 9 and my brother 7. It was the best, most all time uplifting concert of my life and made me a fan forever. Before the show they played the music video for The Hardway which they shot at the prison in Jackson MI. (20 minutes from my house)I was in owe and bought my first CD that night at the concert. DC Talk Free At Last, the original and still best of them all truly. Boy i'd give anything to see The Hardway video again!.

Both rock!
I thought how different they sounded. I first heard dctalk's Consume Me on a friend's cd. But what got me into them was the song, Jesus Freak. I now have this, and Supernatural, & my brother has Intermission:Greatest Hits. So, naturally when I heard this came out, I HAD to get it. The music is terrific, w/ funny add ins. + the Movie is really good. I love seeing how Toby,Mike, and Kevin project their faith thru concerts and their every day lives. The only downside is that it occured to me that there is a whole other generation out thier who has been touched by dcTAlk. Since, I was a toddler during the FAL days, I'm glad this was released, so another generation could enjoy thier music.

P. S. The movie extras (deleted scenes etc. ) are great too!.


cd okay, movie is a gem
Up till then, I had never really been into music, nothing really ever interested me. I remember when I first heard Free At Last back in 1993. And then one day I heard "Jesus is still alright", and I was intrigued. Not only was Free At Last different musically from most everything I'd heard before (the combination of hip-hop and rock with pop sensibilities was, and is, to this day, rarely acheived as well as on F. A. L. And then I heard even better songs like Say The Words, Time Is, and The Hardway, and suddenly my love affair with music was in full bloom. The Free At Last Tour was even my first concert!
A decade later, I am myself a striving musician, and though my tastes in music are much different from the stylings of Free At Last today, I still find this record very listenable and relevant. When I first saw the dvd of Free At Last The Movie, I was taken back to that first concert. . . lost in the beauty of the sound of Say The Words played live. . . and memories of the emotion of that show came flooding back to me, reminding me why I love music so much.
This dvd also offers some revealing glimpses into the lives of the members of DC Talk. There were even a few of those "wow, I can't believe they didn't edit that out" glimpses into the guys flaws. . . But that was the point of this movie in the first place I believe. They wanted us to see past the stagelights, hear beyond the production, and see a side of a band that struggles to balance art, humility, and success. I won't go into any more detail. Just BUY THIS DVD. . . . . . . it may be even more impressive than the original CD.
