This really was a spectacular experience for us - I think we'll be telling our grand kids about this one! 45,000 people in the Angels Stadium (CA) - needless to say this is the biggest audience we've played to.
But I think what made it so special for us was that we could feel that we were a part of something so much bigger than ourselves. This crusade has been instrumental in changing thousands of peoples lives (of course it's the Holy Spirit doing the actual work!) for 20 years. We were given the opportunity to not only play a little 3 song rock set but to play for the alter call. We played another 3 songs while over 4,000 people came down onto the grass to give their heart to the Lord. What an experience.
I had a real moment during this time (the alter call) - while we were playing our song "Welcome to Eternity". It hit me pretty hard that here we were, a little band from Australia, playing a song written in my bedroom in Sydney for my friend struggling in his walk with God - - and now we were playing it to thousands and thousands as they made the most important decision they will ever make.
We always prayed that God would use us powerfully for his work. I guess he answered. It was very very humbling.

It was incredible night.
I had actually been hoping and praying that Revive would be given the opportunity to play their song "Welcome to Eternity" for the alter call. It is such a beautiful and moving song.
