My Great Adventure

Saturday evening a small group of us ventured off to see Steven Curtis Chapman and Geoff Moore in Toronto.

The opening act was Caleb, named after SCC’s eldest son. Thankfully it was a short set. While the threesome played well, the songs were a bit eclectic. I suppose Steven’s “hit writing gene” did not transfer to the children.

SCC has not had a major radio hit for a few years. Certainly nothing that rivals “The Great Adventure”or “Dive”. Still Queensway was packed out - there were a few seats in the nose bleed section.

Not being a loyal SCC fan, I found it refreshing to hear all the hits performed in a mostly unplugged format. And since a number of songs were co-written with Geoff Moore, it was a blast having Geoff sing those songs with SCC.

“The Great Adventure”, “Speechless (SCC hits) and “A Friend Like U” and “Listen To Our Hearts” (Geoff hits) were great performances, enhanced as a duet
If only someone would tell Steven to cut the song introductions down to five minutes, his shows would have a much better flow. But then who is going to tell SCC that he talks too much? Haha!.
