Third
Day has long been a proponent of allowing fans glimpses into their
lives and passions, both on and off the stage. They let the cameras
and tape recorders roll freely on several dates of their recent
tour. The result is nothing short of a "must-have" piece
for Third Day fans worldwide.
Live Revelations: On Stage, Off Stage,
Backstage, due out April 7th.
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. "When
we say "all access" we really went to the extreme with
it," notes Tai Anderson, the band"s bass player. "You"ll
see Mac, Mark, David, me living day-to-day with the people we call
our "family on the road" and just being ourselves;
sometimes intense, sometimes funny – but always real."
This
project successfully captures the band in transparent moments outside
the spotlights. 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 humour 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.
Live Revelations
also features the moving music video for the No. 1 song "Revelation",
the title track of Third Day"s Revelation, culled from a
live performance and interspersed with footage from California"s "Salvation
Mountain", the constantly evolving "outsider art" project
that served as the inspiration for Revelation"s cover art
treatment.
Anderson elaborates, "I"m really proud of
the way "Live Revelations" turned out. This is the
kind of piece I"d want to see from my favourite bands. It
has great performances, but also captures the tension and struggles
of our lives on the road. The mix of performance and documentary
makes it engaging all the way through."

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.
"It is always a pleasure to release live versions
of our songs," shares drummer David Carr. "We spend
so much time constructing the album versions but the songs really
take on their true form when there is no going back and fixing
anything, and there is no chance to second guess when we just get
to be a live band. It was especially a joy to share the stage with
the likes of Jars of Clay, Switchfoot and Robert Randolph in the
performance of "When Love Comes to Town"! The song
was electrifying and moving and each of us got a kick out of playing
alongside such immense talent."
