| RAD FEST 2006 |
 If a tour's opening night is supposed to set the stage for what to expect along the journey of shows yet to come, then Steven Curtis Chapman may have his work cut out for him. Kicking off RAD FEST TOUR 2006 October 20th in Eston, Saskachewan, Stevens Camp and company offered a contagiously energetic show to a Eston College packed with fans. This tour offered something for any type of music fan, with ingredients including rock, pop, power praise and acoustic worship. Forty-four year-old Steven took the stage appearing confident and at ease in front of the large crowd. Electric guitar in hand, he sang strong vocal performances of tracks from his latest CD Steven Curtis Chapman Greatest Hits. He opened the RAD FEST TOUR with his set with the chart-topping "The Change".
Next, Christian music's favorite Boy Band DC Talk took the stage to bring an atmosphere of rock-driven praise and worship to the evening. DC Talk set the precedence of combining enthusiastic praise and powerful guitar chords to make an undeniable atmosphere of worship. They kicked off their set with an admirable display of energy, opening with "Love is a Verb," and “She’s that kind of Girl” from their latest release DC Talk The Hits. The crowd responded eager with excitement when they played out their popular worship hit, "Jesus Freak." With even a little crowd surfing for the fans to enjoy.
It was not until the last band appeared on stage the place went wild. Avalon displayed Roaring guitars and the very familiar "Speed of light" anthem intermixed with a pumped-up version of "Give it up" kicked off an unforgettable set of music. Avalon playing everything from his latest radio hits to favorites from his first release, the crowd relished every lyric and note along the way. Blinding seizureistic strobes accompanied "Everything", adding an effect of realism and diversity to the well-produced show. Lights, intense flashes and smoke, and even with the crowds protesting wanting “one more song” during "Testify to Love" got everyone to their feet. RAD FEST set out to create a night of memories. It happened. |
