Some music is slick. Polished and produced to a point that it sounds best on an official studio recording. Some music is best experienced live. Worship music falls into the latter category. It can only reach its full potential in such an environment; where the atmosphere, others partaking, and sense of vulnerability create an experience that is unlike any other. The Remedy Club Tour offers just that.

What may be the curve ball of “Remedy Club” is that it doesn’t bare similarities to worship giant Hillsong, who have seemingly mastered the art of mixing production with live music. In fact, “Remedy Club” although live worship, feels entirely “Crowder.” The music remains true to that of the official recordings, the live element contributing just the slightest “raw” feel. From the electronic beats, to Crowder’s signature vocals, it’s all here.

The set is comprised of sixteen songs from their latest two ventures with the exception of “O Praise Him.” As far as performance goes, there is no disappointment, and as far as something “different” the crowd adds a great element of corporate worship, shining bright on the beautifully intense “You Are My Joy” and the hopeful “Never Let Go.” It’s also fun to hear Crowder interact with the audience, adding a slight personal vibe to the disc. These live elements are welcomed additions, especially for those who have played the songs to the point that they comprise sixteen of their iTunes top 25 playlist.

The Remedy Club Tour will make a great addition to any worship enthusiasts library, and is bound to sell. Is it a must have? Not necessarily. However if you’re an ardent Crowder fan, be sure to pick it up.
