Veteran rock band Third Day let the cameras and tape recorders roll freely on several dates of its recent tour, and the result is the documentary “Live Revelations: On Stage, Off Stage, Backstage,” due out April 7.
The 75-minute documentary seamlessly blends the powerful Third Day live concert experience with exclusive behind-the-scenes moments as only an “all access” pass can offer. Fans will overhear creative discussions on songs and set lists as the band ramps up before shows.
It also offers glimpses of one-on-one interactions with both family and fans, the band’s contagious sense of humor and even rare admission on its tour bus. The viewer will experience the delicate balance of life on the road and family commitments, and a bit of what it’s like when they’re off the road at home.
The accompanying audio disc places the listener in the front row as it features nine tracks drawn from summer and fall 2008 tour dates, showcasing songs including, “This Is Who I Am,” “Otherside” and “I Will Always Be True.” A highlight of the audio disc is the team-up with friends from Switchfoot, Jars of Clay and Robert Randolph & The Family Band for a cover of the U2/B.B. King classic “When Love Comes To Town,” captured on last year’s Music Builds Tour benefiting Habitat for Humanity.
Fans can catch Third Day on the road this spring as it kicks off its 34-city Revelation Tour on March 5 in Champaign, Ill. Special guests for the tour are GMA’s ‘New Artist of the Year’ and double Grammy nominee, Brandon Heath and high-energy, Australian pop/rock band, Revive.
