Loved it!.......2007-01-13

I went to this concert when it came to Virginia. It was so good. It was nice to see Commissioned together again, and the music was more than amazing.

I bought the video back then but played it so much that it was ruined. I finally ordered the DVD and I am so glad I did.

What A Blessing To The Body!.......2006-05-24

I know I have a very busy life. But how in the world I was SOOOO busy that I completely missed in 2002 "The Commissioned Reunion Live" DVD is totally beyond me, since it is one of my favorite gospel groups!

I "just discovered" it earlier this year on some musical list and mentioned it to my musical brother, who simply said GET IT! I did in February through Netflix and listened for the first few minutes while I was working on writing my midterm exams. I knew from the first couple cuts, I would not be able to write the exams and listen too, because I was TOO into the music to concentrate on the exams. So I turned it off and vowed to watch it straight through for the full 2 hours and 2 minutes "when I had time."

I FOUND the time just last week, and I have not ceased playing this DVD over and over and over again since then! What a musical masterpiece! If you are a Commissioned fan, this is a MUST have for your collection!! It contains practically EVERY hit song they ever sang - fast and slow. The first 18 minutes is a non-stop, praise dancing jewel, which also is now my new workout tape, since I have recommitted myself to get fit again!. You WILL be motivated to get up and move! The drummers and horn section are slamming, and the harmonies are as beautiful or more so from the originals. Also, they look like they just had a lot of fun being back together again.

For me, the music brings back fond memories of God's faithfulness to me during my master's and doctoral years, which Commissioned songs got me through. In my humble opinion, Commissioned was the MOST theologically accurate contemporary guy group of its day. I also believe THAT is the reason why they never hit "the big time" in terms of "cross-over" appeal (which Fred speaks about), which is almost a requirement for music today, even Christian music. They sang CONSISTENTLY and PLAINLY about JESUS (not "him") and challenged the body to holiness and righteousness living. Not too many cross-over audiences (or producers) wanted to hear these kind of powerful and distinctly Christian messages.

Some of my favorites are: "Get Back in the Saddle," "I'm Going On," "Help Somebody," "Hold Me," and "Go and Tell Somebody." And my absolute three all time favorites are: "Tis So Sweet," "Ordinary Just Won't Do," and 'KING OF GLORY!!!!"

If you don't have this DVD, as my brother told me, GET IT! Enjoy these brothers in Christ, who never got their "just due" in the music world, but will be rewarded in heaven for "going to tell somebody!"

Carol, Shouting to the music!

Anointed- This is my all time favorite DVD. It is unbelievable. I remember Commisioned well. Back in the days, they were about the only contemporary music played constantly on my local radio besides the Winans, Vicky & Marvin, BeBe & CeCe,the Hawkins and Tremaine. I was in my teenage years and was truly fascinated by Commisioned. I couldn't figure out how they knew what I wanted to say to God. Most of my peers don't remember. But I just tell them this is where Fred Hammond and Marvin Sapp got their started. Then it's "oh ok".

If anyone listens to this concert they will say to themselves "where have I been". At points, Commisioned is almost choked up on stage at the unsolicited audience participation. And most of them stood up continually through every song. Oh, if I could have been there in person. That would have been the only thing better than watching this DVD.

You will appreciate the fact that they pretty much left the songs as they were originally. Just with greater musical enhancement.Awesome, just awesome band, I mean 2 sets of drums being played at the same time with simulataneous beats -come on. RFC background singers. You can't get no better than that.

I've had this concert for over 2 years and I watch it like it is brand new.

My Favorite Musical DVD.......2004-10-12

I LOVE THIS DVD!!! Commissioned is easily my favorite Christian band of all time. I never get tired of hearing their awesome harmonies, and spiritual lyrics, so when I heard that this DVD was out, I bought it just like that. I can't get enough of watching this DVD. Like others, I only wish there were special features, interviews, etc.

The band setup was absolutely amazing - how can such high quality harmony and sound come from so many talented musicians and singers without sounding too "loud?" Fred Hammond is a genius. It all comes out so clean and smooth, just like Commissioned has always been. These guys set the standard for soulful R&B harmonies, even amongst the secular realm of music.

I hope Commissioned does another reunion and they come to the SF Bay Area.
