Where to begin? The Roadshow has been absolutely amazing. Personally, I have met so many great people and have so many memories that will stay with me for a long time to come. Thanks to everyone involved: whether you were on stage, behind the scenes, in the crowd, or watching on line. You will be missed and it was you guys that made The Roadshow special. With so many memories floating around in my head, I am curious about what your memories are? So leave a comment and share your favorite roadshow memories or a favorite moment of the show. I will start and leave the first comment.

    I just have to say, the Roadshow in Fresno was amazing.
    This is what is so clear…you guys have set a standard. I went to a show a couple months later; Big Daddy Weave, StellarKart, Barlowgirl and Kutless $35 a ticket. They couldn’t fill the place and lost money.
    Thank you guys for doing what God has called you to do and making it easy for people to follow you around or travel more than 2 hours to see it all. God bless as you prepare for 2010

  • Roberta says:

    What more can be said, except…Praise God for the impact that you have made in my walk with the Lord through your music. I saw you in Nampa, Idaho. I had to drive 3 hours each way. It was worth every mile! I am closer than ever to my Redeemer. Thank you for letting Him be revealed through your music!!!

  • Deena S says:

    Please come back to Bossier City, La next year….our family had an amazing time worshiping our savior with all the bands. We were so blessed by the experience….thank you so much for your ministry. I will keep you all and your families lifted up in prayer so God keeps blessing you guys so you can keep continuing to bless others.
    God Bless

    My wife and I saw the show in Springfield, IL. We drove 3 hours to get there and it was awesome (I know that so 80’s), I’m old, almost 39. Every group was so annointed. I’m not much into rap, but John Rebun made it fun. It was the first time we saw 10th Avenue North and wow them blew me away. Jeremy Camp had my wife blawing (I know she a woman and sometimes that easy to do) but his message more that his music touched her heart and ministered to her. And Mercy Me, where do I start, humble, talented, funny but most of all, annointed. The music was good, but the worship was awesome. The absolute best part for me was the end. Mercy Me very quietly left the stage, leaving only the lead singer and then he started leading the whole audience in a simple worship song and then he left with about 10,000 people singing “let it be a sweet, sweet sound to Your ears”. What a classy and humble way to exit. No cheers or shouts for them, just worship for our Lord and King. That spoke volumed to me about their true desire.

    i really wish they came to edmonton :(
    i saw them 2 years ago and they rocked i love them hope they will came to edmonton soon

  • cathy says:

    Cannot find the words to express how this music touched me. And the most awesome thing I found was that these guys are so “out there” for Jesus. Only if we all could be so proud to share our faith in the lord…I have shared with some, but now I want to share with everyone….I have sent all of the best of this show to all my friends, songs from youtube….thanks guys. I love EVERY song. Your voices are all amazing. I pray God blesses you all more abundantly than your hearts can imagine. Love Cathy from Michgan

  • Charissa says:

    The whole thing was Awesome! I really liked the end though (the very last song). Thanks! (Hope to be there next year)

  • Victoria Cardenas says:

    Hello!!
    Just a quick note of thanks for coming to C-bus, Ohio. I drove about an hour to see you and I am happy to say that it was well worth the drive. The morning of the concert i said good-bye to a good friend. When Mercy Me sang I Can Only Imagine… I was imagining my friend stand, dancing and singing with Him.

    Oh, I was wondering if you any of the Roadshow t-shirts left. I would like an x-lg in black. Or is there a web site that I can go to, to get one? Thank you!!

    May God Continue to Bless,
    Vicki

  • Shae W says:

    My favorite moment is everything! ;) I can’t wait until next year!

  • Josh & Greg says:

    Well, a cool moment was at the first show of the tour (Billings MT) while waiting in line we decided to go clim the rock outside and the others in line cheered for us.. But the best part of the concert was at the end when everyone was singing and worshiping and Bart (Mercy Me) left the stage and everyone kept singing “I love you Lord, and I lift my hands….to worship you….” Awesome!!

  • Paisley says:

    I loved it all but some of my favorites were.

    *The worshiping.
    *Jeremy Camp’s blues version of Jesus Loves Me with his dad and wife.
    *The way you made the fans a part of it all.
    *Chatting and getting to talk with all the original peeps from the MercyMe concert last fall as well as meeting new friends.
    *The Kribz video.
    *Chatting with the artists.
    *Chatting with some of the artists parents.
    *Chatting with the MercyMe kids and some of their wives.
    *CTGB’s
    *T-shirt contest.
    *I loved seeing Jim really get into it and doing a few little dance moves on Saturday night.
    *The Brody Bunch.

  • Ashley says:

    The whole Rock and Worship Roadshow concert was amazing!! My favorite part of the concert was when Jason Dunn came into the crowd at the end of “Let’s Dance” and grabbed the hands of my friends and I!! We are still freaking out in disbelief!! I also loved the comments people gave us on the shirts we spent time making (we were told that you could see them from the balcony!) Hawk Nelson was my favorite performance, however I also loved when Mercy Me was singing songs like “God With Us” and when they let the crowd sing, you could hear thousands of voices singing along. That was such a powerful moment!!

  • inojcgirl says:

    As if I could narrow this down to the space in this box…I dont have one favorite moment…but I did have a realization…it didnt matter where we were each at in our lives, in our personal beliefs, in our walks with Christ, there was this whole incredible family in chatroomland pullin for one another. Thank you to the prayer warriors on there. Thanks for all of you who gave so many encouraging words. Each night I left my computer blessed and encouraged. Long after seeing the RAWRS in Phoenix I still felt drawn to watch and worship. Chatting with Mercy Me was really fun. (Even if they passed on the double double…) I was blown away at how the bands seemed to want to connect with the fans. It made the concert more memorable than ever. I leave anticipating 2010, thankful for everyone who made this thing possible, and praying that the God of peace and joy be with each one of you touching your lives in that way only He can. If I never meet any of you my chatlandroom family..I cant wait to worship again with you on the other side!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Janie Mack says:

    My favorite memory was chatting with all the people in the chat room and watching the concerts online. I met so many new friends chatting thanks alot brody and kyle!! See yall next year!!!

  • Mikayla says:

    The concert that I went to was amazing. I had heard about the concert through Tenth Avenue Norths website almost two months in advance and that was all I could talk about for those two months. My favorite memory (and by far the best) is meeting Tenth Avenue North. I was the t-shirt winner for Las Vegas, NV and it was a blast! Tenth Avenue North is my all time favorite band so meeting them was amazingly awesome. I will always remember that. The concert over all was great though. Hawk Nelson put on an amazing show and Tenth Avenue North rocked the house (of course :) ). So glad you guys decided to do this concert.

  • Jodie (rexette98) says:

    Two definate favorites: In person at the Roadshow: Dallas, TX: The song ‘I Love You Lord’ being lifted up by 19,000+ voices was such a sweet perfume that I hope God enjoyed, I know I did and I still get goose bumps remember it.

    Countless memories online: Not only making new friends from all over the country (and world), some of whom I got to meet face to face in Dallas (Baylormum, katwoman327, Kyle Ray and Brody Harper) but the amazing, enduring, encouraging fellowship we had together each night. I has become my second ‘church’ home. What an amazing body of believers who prayed for each other, laughed with each other, challenged each other. Well you get the idea.

    Thanks to all involved: bands, crews, organizers, web folks, everyone for taking the ministry of sharing Christ to the next level. Continue what you are doing and we will continue to pray and lift you up!

  • Kyle Ray says:

    How could I forget the blue bus iPod night. I miss it already and I am still thinking of what I should play.

  • Emily says:

    Meeting Tenth Ave North after the show in Wichita. When I showed Mike the Bear Bait and cookies I had made for them he paused the autograph signing and yelled, “FFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD!” :]

  • Karen (MsKaren) says:

    THOSE WHITE PANTS!!! The red pants being wash by the blood of the Lamb and becoming white as snow. That’s all I could think every time I saw Nate’s white pants. Whether he intended it or not, I couldn’t help but think what a statement those pants made.

  • victorioussurrender says:

    hey…..if we get 500 comments, who gets thier head shaved????..lol…

  • victorioussurrender says:

    can’t wait till next year…..and just wanted to leave another comment saying…..THIS WAS AWSOME!!!!!!!……adn i stil lov typoes :-D

  • Sarah (cera_20) says:

    Wow, I am so thankful for the RAWRS! It was great to watch the show online with other believers. Worshiping and praising God together. There were so many great things, listening to the bands and trying to keep up with all the conversations going on. The band members that came on to chat. Race and PastorTJ always praying for everyone. Brody and Kyle always fixing things when they went wrong. The pranks at the last show. Actually seeing the whole show on the last day. Becoming a huge Tenth Avenue North fan. And so much more. Thank you to everyone that made this possible. Thank you to the bands for making it all about God. I’m going to miss this. I can’t wait till next year.
    May God continue to Bless ALL of you!

  • Steve says:

    I just would like to say that we saw the show last night in Springfield, IL and it was beyond amazing. I went to the show with my wife and 2 kids ages 4 and 8. Wow affordable family entertainment for only $40.00. You can not get that even at the movies. First off it was so awesome to be able to take the kids to their first concert and not have to worry about what they saw. My 8 year old danced so hard I thought she would never wake up this morning. My 4 year old had so much fun ecspecially when all the guys came out and tossed the lead singer for Sanctus Real in the air while he was still singing I thought my boys jaw was going to hit the ground. My daughter screamed so loud when Jeremy came out across the stage on his bike. And the testimonies from the guys were amazing. I just would like to say THANK YOU for the precious memories you all helped create last night. If you were to come again I would pay $100.00 per ticket to go.

  • Natalie Ring says:

    We were part of the Fresno crowd. I agree with Bart when he says it was “un-stinking-believable.” How do you describe something like this? It was magnificent…Feeling the spirit of worship and feeling God’s presence in the Save Mart Center! WOW!

    First off this was the 3rd concert I have ever been to and I got to share the moment with my 3 sisters, my Aunt (who lost her husband last September) and my cousin. My Aunt needed something like this to uplift her…actually all of us girls needed this time of worship. We all enjoyed it so much that we are still talking about it. My favorite parts where:

    1)Our seats: we were in the front row up on top but were directly under where the Artists came in and out from. I saw everyone and everything looking down. Not sure if you remember Bart, but I noticed you walking off the stage and you looked up and my sister and I started waving to you and you smiled and waved back. That was so nice. And Jenny from Addison Road waved at us too. So sweet!

    2)Being there with my family. They surprised me by coming and I gotta say when MercyMe was singing “I Can Only Imagine” my sister started speaking in tongues! It blessed me to see her get a blessing. We were all blessed.

    3) Hearing the songs I hear every day on K-Love being played LIVE! It’s so awesome!

    4)And to save the best for last (which should be 1st) is WORSHIPING OUR LORD AND SAVIOR with all the thousands of us that were there.
    ** Thank you Lord for the turnout this Tour has made. I pray that you touch the lives of these children who are sick and the children that are sponsored. I pray your Salvation would come upon them that they may live with you eternally. Bless each and everyone one that attended and anoint these Artists you have blessed with mighty talent. Continue to guide them to do Your will and to be a Light to us all.

    I can’t wait for next year and the years to come! Thank you Rock and Worship Roadshow and to everyone who made this dream a reality!

  • Kristen says:

    This roadshow was an awesome expierence! I personally went to the Dallas show, and it was one of the best things that has happened to me!

    ~Talking to MrD and MommaD
    ~Talking to many brothers and sisters!
    ~Bart
    ~Prank Night!

  • Janet Planet says:

    AWWW, you guys made me remember more moments:

    -Bart prank calling any CCM artist on his phone
    -Yes, Bart lip syncing was awesome
    -Jason Dunn being so amuzed that we were all there, chatting with him live and going, “This is so cool!”
    -Bart telling us that we should be sleeping, but reminding him it was only 10pm on the west coast
    -10th Ave North chatting, but Josh Havens cutting in with his guiater
    -getting to see my amazing THE AFTERS, whom I hadn’t seen in way too long. That was SOOO awesome. I really can’t tahnk you enough for that.
    -John Reuben having “robot fans” (wearin his shirt and all) invade his show and him making the “robot fan” sing along
    -Later on Mike D. wearing a John Reuben shirt that looked just like that “robot fan” was wearing.
    -On the last day, nathan wearing WHITE PANTS (loL!)
    -Everyone comming out and throwing Matt up in the air like a cheerleader…and Matt continuing to sing without a beat
    -Having people in every chat asking “Who’s Brody?” and “Who’s Kyle?” and “Who is getting their head shaved and why?”
    -People thinking that I worked on the tour for some readon and asking what I did. (Um, I’m just an obsessed fan)

    Ok, I really do think that’s it, hehe.

    Again, you all are amazing. I’m gonna miss this. Thanx for everything!!!

  • victorioussurrender says:

    well….i would have to say…D, all of the above!…i wish that i had found out about the chat way before i did…i only got on for the last few shows…but i had such an awsome time chating with u all, and making fun of people i didnt know….lol….i pray that God touches your life through this and that you take that blessing and pass it on. i know we are all sad that this is over, but, if you take some of what Bart said everynight…its us who have to clean it all up….we have to say, this is the turning piont, and stand by it, and continue to come back to God no matter how many times we mess up. that is the good fight that paul talked about….we have to stay the course, even when its an uphill battle….because, it’s worth it. well, God bless all! hope to see ya next year, and even if i dont, i trust that i’ll see you all agian someday…ttfn (famous quote: tigger)

  • Tia (seattle fan!) says:

    OK, so I loved EVERYTHING about the roadshow… even the night with the busted FireWire, because so many people stayed on despite it and fellowshipped, now thats what its about! Meeting all these awesome people, Laura, Race, Mr and Momma D, Janet, praying and being prayed for.. all amazing. Seeing live in Seattle was crazy, and the signings for 10th and JCamp. (thanks for doing that btw, guys!)
    Most memorable and treaured moment by far was Good Friday, though…
    I was praying my heart out that Tenth Ave would play Hallelujah… They didn’t, such a bummer… Kept praying. Then we went backstage with Bart, who passed on the computer to Mikey Mike, who played times… Prayed even harder now… He gave an awesome little sermon about how the sun (or God) is too much for us to approach, and that’s why Jesus came (our superspacesuit thing)… And then, he played Hallelujah. Couldn’t believe it. Such a blessing and a reminder that GOD IS LISTENING.
    Thanks to EVERYONE involved. Every single person. Thank You, this roadshow is a crazy huge blessing, cant wait for next years!

  • Siobhan & Evelyn says:

    Mike Donehey and Jeff are so great!

    Tenth Avenue North, the best band on the tour,

    we waited amd they didn’t come out to sign our shirt, kinda sad,

    but they are so great and love their vids on-line! (Sooo funny!)

    Making the shirts and wearing them…have them forever!

    Where can we upload our Red Shirt images for Mike?

    TAN, the next biggest thing!!!!! Look out!

  • Trent says:

    I went and saw you guys in Fresno. I was part of the Fresno State Men’s Basketball support staff and our home arena is the Save Mart Center, where the Roadshow performed at. Let me tell you, I have never seen the Save Mart Center that full!!! It was absolutely phenomenal!!! I was impressed with every act that went on stage. I was suprised at what Addison Road was able to do with Jenny being as far along in her pregnancy as she was. I started to like Tenth Avenue North like two weeks before the show hit Fresno, and fell in love with them when I saw them live. I went to the local bookstore here to get their CD, and it was already sold out. And it has continued to be sold out everytime I go in to get it! Hawk Nelson, so good!!! They brought the Rock into it!!!! That was the third time I’ve seen them and it was just as good. My mom was also singing with their songs that she was learned through my siblings and I. Jeremy Camp has always been a favorite of mine. It was so much fun seeing him and how he performed. His message is so strong in his music. And Mercy Me. I actually have the live DVD that they did a couple years ago that they filmed on one of their tours. They have always been at the top of my list!!! Thanks so much for making the show affordable for many people to come see. God Bless with the rest of the tours that you embark on. And we’ll see some of you guys at Spirit West Coast in Late July in Monterey!!!!!!!

  • Angie says:

    i think Jeremy bringing his dad and his wife AND his brother out onstage last night abd singing jesus loves me was the best moment for me… awesome!

    AND

    seeing Jeremy sing ‘This Man’ live.. he changed it up… but i like it… WAY cool!

  • Without a doubt, meeting new Brothers and Sisters in the Lord and getting the honor to fellowship and worship with everyone was really an amazing blessing. Thank you guys for the encouragement and for the memories … here’s to looking forward to the next one!

  • Cliff says:

    Thank You!! Memories would be just getting together and fellowshipping! I believe that if we never reached 500 (which we did numerous occations last night) would be that Brody should have shaved his head anyway when there were over 100 of us all night long last Saturday when the firewire broke…What was up with the RED DOOR anyway? Thanks to all of you who made this possible. Bands for performing, Mercy Me for streaming, Labels for letting the bands stream, Kyle and Brody for all the HARD WORK making it possible, peeps online for great fellowship, etc. I can go on forever. Thanks also to the Parents who showed up and brought a little insight to who we were watching. It really brought us into a life and not just watching someone!

  • Kathy_M says:

    My best memory would have to be that we were actually able to go and I was able to share it with my children and husband, because of the price, you guys made that possible. I couldn’t thank you enough for allowing that to happen, I will remember it forever. Thank you for doing what you all do, and I hope that the “Roadshow” continues for many years. I praise God that I am free and able to listen to worship music…it is my life, and I would be lost without.
    P.S. also getting autographs was awesome!!! I didn’t get to do things like that growing up, so you helped me feel like a kid again, and I was able to give that neat experience to my kids ;P
    thank you

  • OH, sure Kylereay. Give us a memory WE didn’t get to see every night! j/k
    Driving 6 hours to the Dallas show. Meeting tweeps there and having someone to visit with in line. Making the shirt. Meeting Brody & Kyle. Standing in line with @katwoman327 to get a pic with Jeremy. For her, not me! And what happened? I took off my contest shirt (I had a tank underneath) and got Jeremy to sign it. Awesome! Being in that arena, on the floor, and looking up to the rafters at 19,000 other peeps! NEVER had that before. Bart ending each night with “I Love You Lord”. THAT was amazing.
    Online? There is so much! Meeting more new peeps. There were so many artists that came on to keep us busy & ended up with me ROFL. The band kids singing Happy Birthday to Mike S’s dad. Mike Donehey singing “Times” the 1st time. The Mikey Mike video. The AR exercise video. The Brody photos!!!! You capture the moment & it shows. The last night was beyond incredible. Sanctus Real did an awesome job both nights! Jeremy & his Dad with their rendition of “Jesus Loves Me”. Blew me away.
    Thanks again to BEC for letting Jeremy stream. So many people came every night to see just Hawk or just Jeremy & went away disappointed. Many stayed and became new streaming fans. They found people who were accepting & fun. We are a band of merry fans. :)

  • Melissa Gomez says:

    I would like to say thank you for whoever had the idea of RWRS. Even though I was born in the church. A PK in fact. I have always struggled with who I want to be and/or represent. And I think Mike from 10AN hit it on the mark when he said “Don’t live FOR Jesus, Live BECUZ of Jesus.” At first I was like WHAT? But then I got it. I have spent my life pleasing people. Not neccessarily GOD. And even though I may have looked Godly and Acted Godly, my insides were all screwed up. Now I realize my life IS my worship. I was born with a gifted voice.(I am not trying to feed my ego. I just have learned to accept it=0) And even though I may not make it to the RWRS or have a record deal/label. I can influence (like Bart said) my LOCAL church, my LOCAL youth, and those immediately around me. I ask that all of us unite and support these programs and musicians, because this is what America really needs. Not a religious awakening, but a Come to Jesus meeting. Tell your friends and your neighbors……These arenas and stadiums haven’t seen anything yet! Be Blessed! =0)

  • Karen (MsKaren) says:

    There were many great moments. Janet covered most. My additional favorites would be sitting in the 4th row right in the middle and feeling like a part of the worship experience. Looking around the Kansas Coliseum and seeing 12,000 people praising and worshiping the Lord. Finding the chat room and watching the show on-line was truly a blessing. I only wish I would have done it before attending the show in Wichita (I might have actually noticed the red pants!). Race (Kelly) praying for anyone who asked. Talking with Mr D and Momma D who are truly wonderful people. Meeting new brothers and sisters in Christ through the chat.

    Jeremy really needs to think about doing a recording of Jesus Loves Me with the whole family. That was the greatest version of the song ever!!! Dad Camp and your harmonica, YOU ROCK!!!!

    Thanks Brody and Kyle for providing us the awesome feeds! You guys are amazing! Can’t wait to see Brody’s new ‘do!

  • Emily Decker says:

    The Show was amazing last night it was really great. :) Who ever put this show together thank you too. If you do another show next year close to Springfield I will be there I will drive 5 hours to see the show again if i have to.

    see you all later,
    Emily Decker

  • Megan says:

    First off: THANK YOU SO MUCH for webstreaming! I live in Florida and y’all didn’t come near us. :( But I loved getting to see what I did of the tour. (:

    -the time I finally caught Tenth Avenue North (my favorite band on tour. I only got to see them once, too)

    -when Bart was backstage calling all the Christian artists whose phone numbers he had.

  • WallyfromMichigan says:

    My memory of the tour, besides all that Janet said, was the fellowship I felt in the chat environment. I have never participated in online chat. I have only seen it portrayed as the place predators hang out. I learned something very different from this experience. I even got Mrs. Wall (WallyfromMichigan’s wife) to watch the last night with me. She has been wondering what is breaking me away from Detroit Tiger baseball every night and keeping me at the computer for a couple of hours, it was fellowship…Thank you fellow ‘chatters’. Meeting MercyMe, Mikey Mike and Brody were also nice…but we never forgot that those are just the people and that God’s message came through loud and clear in a whole new medium for me. Thanks all.

  • Kelly W says:

    Yep…see I knew I’d think of more…..

    One of the best moments:

    ~ Bart going backstage & lipsyncing to Jeremy since he couldn’t be streamed

  • Kelly W says:

    Wow, well Janet pretty much summed it up for the rest of us :p

    It was a FABULOUS ride! I’m so happy I got to share it with everyone online! You guys rock!

    For me, some of my favorite moments would be:

    ~ The various band members getting online to chat with us
    ~ Meeting & chatting w/ Mike’s parents (beautiful people!)
    ~ The many other Kellys on the chat…confusing people and being confused by people because of it :p
    ~ When people kept asking me how I was involved in the tour
    ~ Scheduling events/dinners around the online stream whenever possible…and eating at the computer when doing so was not possible
    ~ The AWESOME fellowship and prayer time on the chat, the laughter and many tears that were shed together
    ~ Bull riding!
    ~ Ok I have to say it….RED PANTS!
    ~ Every one of us on the chat “yelling” at Jenny to stop jumping before her baby falls out! Hehehe
    ~ Road Show babies! :)
    ~ The Brody Bunch
    ~ People trying to explain to newcomers what it is that Brody does :p
    ~ Bart’s prank calls!
    ~ The little kids getting on the video chat
    ~ CTGBs!!!!! (Especially the last one)

    I’m sure there’s more but that’s all I can think of at 2am :p

    Thanks to everyone who made this tour possible! Can’t wait till next year!

  • Sherry Duckett says:

    Went to the show in Springfield, Il. tonight, Simply Amazing!!!!! A couple of my favorite moments would have to be Jeremy Camp’s version of Jesus Loves Me, and Mercy Me’s I Can Only Imagine. What I appreciate most is the testimony of these men and their heart for the Lord and for the lost. What an awesome time of worship. Thank you for your service to the Lord. What a true blessing this evening was for myself and my family! Lord bless!

    Just got back from Springfield with my youth group. What a great experience! Awesome live music. $5 Mercy Me cds. 10th Ave N, who were new to my listening ears and are fantastic! And thanks so much to Mercy Me witnessing to the fact that the best decisions for Christ come in the context of your home church family and not as the result of emotional manipulation at a concert (no matter how awesome the concert was!). And thanks for supporting the work of us pastors and parents, from one who is both! God bless you guys!
    PS- My youth really wanted to see Hawk Nelson. When are they coming to central illinois?

    I was at the show in Cedar Rapids, and my favorite part was the entire time Hawk Nelson was on stage.

  • My favorite moment was at the Columbus, Ohio show. One of the stage security guys was chatting with us before the show, and really hadn’t heard of any of the bands. I told him he would enjoy his job that evening! By the time Mercy Me was finishing their set, this man was weeping. A guy from the front row went up and put his arm around him and prayed with him. I just started crying! That was a possible a first moment for that man to experience God’s presence. It was what the tour was about. Creating an atmosphere for God to move in people’s hearts and lives. I know I was touched each and every time I watched online!
    Thanks for doing this! It was amazing. You will be missed. Can’t wait for the next tour!

  • Pokinatcha says:

    I would have to say Jeremy Camp’s version of ‘Jesus Loves Me” with his Dad on harmonica! That was the best version I’ve ever heard. Not that I’ve heard many!

    I’d like to thank all those who made streaming the Roadshow online possible! Maybe one day you’ll be able to bring it to Hawaii!

  • David N. says:

    My favorite thing was hearing the entire arena sing “I Love You, Lord” at the very end of the show. That was one of the most moving experiences I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of. I will always remember that show. My memories are still quite fresh, as I just went yesterday evening in Cedar Rapids, but I know I’ll remember it for quite a long time. Can’t wait for next year!!!

  • DeeDee (SmileyFreak1981) says:

    I loved being able to watch the shows online. It has truly been a blessing.

    Tenth Avenue North is amazing, and I don’t think I would have discovered how great they are without having seen them stream. They got better each time I saw them. I even bought their CD via AmazonMP3 after seeing them online. :)

    I can’t wait to see how this tour grows next year, and hope that I get to go see it IRL!

  • Trish (mtfan) says:

    My first memory is of being at the first show in Billings with my daughter! The best thing I could have ever done for her. Then, the memories each night of chatting with the other faithful worshipers on the Rock & Worship Road Show site. Chatting with everyone has been so uplifting and helping. The blogs that we get to watch (videos) and comments from everyone. My favorite person to watch though has been Mike from 10th Avenue North. Thank you! I hope you come to Billings again next year. Take care and God Bless.

    My favorite Roadshow memory would have to be Jeremy Camp. I went to the Roadshow in Dallas, it rocked!!! Jerey was so awesome, his set was a big, big blessing to me and I will not forget it. Thanks you guys for sharing your time and talant. God bless you all. I hope to have the opportunity to see another one.

    My favorite moment of The Roadshow would have to be Hawk Nelson’s intro. From the start with We Will Rock You until they start their song with Jason Dunn screaming the name of the city we were in. I loved it every night.
