  • We had over 15,000 people watching online at one time at the peak.
  • Not Including an Army base in Kuwait - Camp Arifjan.
  • Performed a brand new song that hasn't even been recorded yet.

STILL BEING BLESSED... - 2009-11-20
I was a member of the choir at the Wichita concert. Thanks for letting us be a part of this tremendous worship experience. Especially touching was AGNUS DEI, as this is the song we sang as an invocation at my baby granddaughter's funeral five years ago this month. So many praises to God were lifted up last Sunday. Many thanks to MWS as well as to Matt and Phil for a very blessed evening. God speed...

still reliving the magic and worship of the evening - 2009-11-20
Michael, thank you for your wonderful music and ministry. I was honored to get the chance to meet you and to give you a tape of my piano playing. It was a worshipful experience for me. Thank you very much!

Concert webcast - 2009-11-19
Loved the concert, what I could see of it. I think they might've had issues because of SO many people watching it at one time because it kept freezing up on my computer and I have high-speed. Michael, was great as always and I could tell the audience was really pumped up.

Hey Michael I am from Wichita and I attend Central Community church but could not afford to attend.. Thanks so much to all the people who made the broadcast on the internet possible. It was a grand worship experence. I wish I could have been there to see it in person but I am thankful for the power of the internet

A Blessing in a time of Healing! - 2009-11-18
The concert was an absolute blessing for my family & I. It was the first christian concert that my brothers & I ever attended together. And it was also a huge step in the healing process after losing our older brother, age 45, to lung cancer this past August. One of his favorite songs was always "breath". So in closing I just want to say thank you Michael, Matt, Phil,&Meredith,... for allowing yourselves to be used as vessels of Honor to enlarge God's Kingdom. I pray for His richest blessings over you & your families! P.S. The concert was well worth driving over 100 miles to experience a wonderful night of worship!

Grace - 2009-11-17
Michael, "Grace" was a song I listened to through tears about a million times over during the nine months my mom was dying. Yesterday would have been her 84th birthday. The concert came at just the right time. I cannot repay you for what your music has done in my life, but I know God will multiply your blessings many times over! I love you.

A great concert! - 2009-11-16
My wife and I were in the choir for the 11/7/09 concert and enjoyed that immensely. And now, just a week later, we're able to "re-live" it all over again. We had a few minor technical glitches (interruption of the internet connection somewhere) and at least one cameraman went crazy jerking the video all over the place. Still, a wonderful experience - so it again, soon??? Blessings to you and your family.

Felt Like I Was There! - 2009-11-16
Being a fan for more than 15 years, I have to say my moment was in the song, "Let Me Show You the Way". That was one of my favorite records and it's such a heartfelt song. Thank you for an ending to an otherwise stressful weekend. thank you.

Rocked the House - 2009-11-16
Micheal, YOU ROCKED THE HOUSE !!!!, at Central Community last night. I'm stilling buzzing from the spiritual energy you brought to our sanctuary. It was such an amazing experience to sing as your back up choir. Thank you for bringing the inspirational experience to us. My teenage daughter and her friend were so PUMPED, they wanted to listen to your CD on the way home. Your music worships to all ages. Thank you and God bless you.

I had the opportunity of going to the concert, Michael you are awesome, i came back to the heart of worship, and realised no matter how hard life is God is on my side, loved Matt and Chris too.

Mrs. Becky Nichols - 2009-11-16
I was IN the concert in Wichita, KS last night...Our choir were his backup singers: TOTALLY AWESOME...words can't explain the high energey and the spirit that was moving through over 3000 at the concert last night! The songs such as Help is On The Way, Grace, and Above All really spoke to me and thousands of others. You just want to get on your knees and praise God. Thanks Michael for all you do...keep it up. Thanks, too, for putting this on the web for others to experience around the world. BLESS YOU
by Becky Nichols

Loved the Concert!! - 2009-11-16
My husband and I loved your concert!! It was very uplifting.... my only complaint, and it's NOT your fault, was the camera a few times went crazy with all the switching, and we lost audio because of that. Congrats on a wonderful concert!!!
by Karen G (BC)

Loved the show! - 2009-11-16
There a few technical difficulties with the streaming but otherwise, the quality was superb! Loved the songs. Loved other musicians that you toured with. My daughter was taken to the ER last night for a head laceration and this concert kept me focused while I could not be with her at the hospital. I felt God's presence within your music and I knew that I wsas not alone. Thank you!

Beyond Belief - 2009-11-16
I tuned in to the concert from CA (and I was disappointed that the CA shows were far away or already sold out). It was my first time seeing a concert and I think for about half the concert I was on my knees praising the Lord. I kept singing along and even heard the song that hasn't even been recorded. LOVED IT SO MUCH. See if you can do it again!
by Katie

thank you.... - 2009-11-16
Thank you. It was a great concert, and I really enjoyed it. Isn't it amazing how many people can be touched by something like this?

Awesome Worship!! - 2009-11-16
Thank you so much for streaming this, it was great!!! Michael doesn't come near us, so this was a great opportunity to see him. It was a great and uplifting night!! Thanks again, it was a blessing! Rochester, NY
by Michele

Enjoyed the show! - 2009-11-16
Thanks for allowing us to be a part of it! As you started playing the intro to "Friends", I wondered if you still keep up with the family that the song was written for? I've heard you say before that you never expected it to be such a "hit", but after 25 years it's still one of my favorites.
by Patty Mullins

Concert was Excellent! - 2009-11-16
Thank you for showing your concert online. My 1st online show that I've seen. Tuned in from Sheboygan, WI and I loved it. I was so happy you sang "Above All" I cried. Please show your concert again online soon. Thank you again and God Bless.
by Irene R.

What a night of praise! - 2009-11-16
Wow! Thank you for sharing your wonderful, praise-filled night in Witchita with the world tonight via the net! To think that our soldiers were enjoying this, too, brought goosebumps and tears (especially when you started THERE SHE STANDS). I have been deeply blessed through the years by your msuic. Perhaps the greatest blessing in my life is found in the NEW HALLELUJAH DVD. Whenever I need a spiritual reset button, that DVD does it above and beyond my expectations. God richly bless you going forward, Michael. I am so excited that you are already working on your next project!! woo hoo!! And thanks again for a wonderful night of worship. It was so kind of you to share it with the world. Joyful in Columbus, OH--Dan

HUGE THANK YOU!!! - 2009-11-16
It was an amazing night Smitty. I didn't get to see the whole concert, but I watched and listened to most of it. What a blessing it was to. You are about the only Christian artist my 15 year old son will listen to. He REALLY likes you to, so I told him you were streaming your concert and he tuned in on his computer. Thank you for giving those of us who dont gat many opportunities to see you live a chance to experience the next best thing. You are annointed Michael....God bless you and all of those that performed with you tonight.

It brought back memories of listening to Michael W. Smith back in the 80's!! I heard about this tour and wished it would come to Ottawa so I'm glad that I got to enjoy it thru the internet!

Thank you!! - 2009-11-16
Thank you to all who made this live concert tonight possible to watch via the internet. Thank you MWS for the oppurtunity you have given to many to sing in the choir with you, as I did in Lowell, MA. I plan on driving out to NY next Saturday to worship with you again from a seat in the audience. I can't wait! Your new song is amazing! I hope it makes it on your next CD. Thank you for all you do to serve our God. Thank your family for their sacrifice of being without you when your on tour.It is wonderful though that your son is a part of what you do. What a legacy! Thanks again.

Wichita - 2009-11-16
I was actually able to go to the concert in Wichita. I attend NRF in Franklin, TN and am in KS caring for my Mom who has Alzheimer's. It was like a "piece of home" came to Kansas to visit me. I miss my church family in TN. It was great to worship in Kansas with folks around the world, via the net! Blessings Michael and crew! Tonight was great!
by Linda Snyder

A Smitty great concert! - 2009-11-16
The performing of the artists was great. For the first time I heard Meredith, Matt and Phil singing and they did it great! Smitty remains my favourite Christian artist of all times!!! The atmosphere could be better; it's not what I lived this year in Budapest at Michael's concert, but maybe this time weren't many young persons there. Anyway, it was OK. W., I wait you to Romania in 2010! Blessings!
by Daniel (smittyfan @ beenup2)

good - 2009-11-16
I got to watch the whole concert! It was truly awesome to be able to view it live. The only technical difficulties were that we couldn't hear the audience at first and not all of backup vocalists.... but as the concert went on those things seemed to get worked out. Thank you to the HearItFirst and GSMG folks for doing this for the world.(I hope I got that acronym right). Please don't take this as a negative comment; I just thought you might want to know. Your concerts are always the best! Loved your song choices and the love you showed to our military. I loved your comments about President Bush and the song he said you should write (one of my favorite songs by the way). Tyler being there really kicked it all up a notch. It is always great hearing and watching you guys sing. God bless and keep you all.
by Trish

so glad - 2009-11-16
I am so glad it was broadcasted to so many people. I couldnt watch the concert....I was asleep, it was 4 am here in the Netherlands. Praying that God will bless this and pull more and more people toward Him! Greetings from the Netherlands, Marja Rolfes-Lemson

You didn't disappoint! As always, you bring a calm to me. And even though I was sitting in front of my computer watching you, I still felt as if I was right there with you. And I really needed it. Nothing like seeing you and worshiping with you 3 times in 1 year!!! Thank you!

That is what you are forever and always. Your music has brought me through a lot of stuff. Not only was God with me but you were as well. This concert tonight helped bring me back to that place where I know "Help is on the Way"! Thank you, you are truly a blessing!

My Thoughts - 2009-11-16
I enjoyed it, it's hard to complain about something free right? But, from a technical standpoint, sometimes it was choppy and went in and out. Maybe it was just my internet connection though, but overall, I thought it was pretty good, wish the crowd noise was a little louder cause at first (before seeing the crowd) it felt like no one was really there, yeah, it was that quite. Not sure if you're looking for that kind of feedback or what. I'm a technical guy and do these types of webcasts for sports, so I know it's not always easy...enjoyed the new song though, lyrics were really good, that I feel a lot of Christians need to hear...best of luck on the new album MWS, call me when ya need a keys player :)

Annointed even in cyber space! - 2009-11-16
Michael & Crew--I was at home with the flu in Wichita tonight and didn't want to share it with anyone at the concert so I was going to have to miss the show completely. Then I saw the Hear It First broadcast opportunity! Thank you so much for broadcasting tonight's concert live. God's annointing is far-reaching and it could be felt almost as if I was there with you. God's presence is so strong in your life Michael... Bless you and the gang for being so real as you share your relationship with Christ and for continuing to share your heartfelt music with the world :-)

Awesome! - 2009-11-16
Thank you so much for a fabulous concert. I just returned home from Virgina where my Mom was in the hospital for a month and we had to transfer her to a nursing home. I really needed this tonight. Thank you again for such an uplifting, wonderful night. Can't wait to see you at the Christmas concerts in Dallas.
by Wanda Butler

Thanks for the show! - 2009-11-16
I loved it. I missed the concert in San Antonio this week and really missed out on a chance of a live show. I was hoping MWS would pull a U2 and stream on YouTube. This was better.

Fantastic - 2009-11-16
It was hard to believe that here I was sitting in my lounge room in Wellington NZ on a Monday afternoon, watching MWS worship in far of US. But even through this distance, God was with us, and for an hour or so we were a big family throughout the world. God bless, and thank you.

Transforming - 2009-11-16
I felt God's presence right here with me throughout the whole concert, but especially during Above All. We have been in a "valley" for a year and a half and I really needed God's spirit to move in me. I have 2 small children who I have been praying and sharing with, yet my own heart has been troubled. God used you as a way to break through a pretty tough wall I had built up. Thank you Jesus and thank you Michael! I feel renewed and alive again. There are no other words than, thank you and bless you!
