He Lives .com The big-time sound of Fred Hammond, described here as "the architect of urban praise and worship," echoes the influence of a variety of old skool pop-R&B stars: Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, Earth, Wind and Fire, Kool and the Gang, even Steely Dan. But the fact that Hammond's music is derivative (whose isn't?) detracts not at all from this exemplary contemporary gospel concert by the Dallas-based singer-musician. Hammond, who played bass for the Winans and was a founding member of the popular group Commissioned, fronts a large ensemble in the 97-minute show, joined by the enraptured congregation at the Potter's House, his Dallas church. This is not your grandfather's gospel music; the funky, slapping bass and hard rock guitar, the lyrics projected on a screen behind the stage, and the slick video production (featuring various film effects and the kind of kinetic editing used for pop concert productions) would likely bewilder fans of pioneers like the Rev. James Cleveland; so would Hammond's references to "old school jams" and hip language like "I know it might be hard to get your praise on." Shoot, there's even an American Idol element, as past winner Ruben Studdard ("He's looking sugar sharp," says Fred) joins the crew for a couple of numbers. But there's one element common to all good gospel, and that's kind of relentless energy and uplifting spirit that would get an atheist excited. Put simply, songs like "L.O.U.D.," "This is the Day," and many others among the 15 presented here rock. In the end, getting your praise on isn't so tough after all. --Sam Graham

Free to Worship - Another Praise Hit!
This is an awesome DVD presentation of the entire 'Free to Worship' concert. I feel as though I am there praising and dancing with Fred, Pam, and all the others on the set. I really enjoy 'LOUD'. I love the way Fred put together this video presentation. It has some unique graphics in the video that makes it worth viewing. I also enjoy, 'This is the day'... that 'Ol School Jam' with a Fred Hammond mix... and all the others both fast and slow, its all the right beat for me. The sound is so different on 'We've come to give him Praise'. It almost has a Fred Flintsone harmony that sounds good in surrond sound stero. Thanks Fred for never letting us down with the gospel praise sound. I am not disappointed. Also, loved the interview DVD, but I want more copies! God Bless you.

Great Quality Product!!!!!!!
If your looking for a well produced product that shows that Fred is a great gospel artist then this dvd is for you.Everything is put together very professionally. The musicians and singers are very good.the only cons about the dvd is:1. there was no setting on the dvd to switch the sound to dolby 5.1.2. They could have remixed the songs a lil better but I understand why they kept it pocket. Everyone doesn't know the songs yet.Other then that this is a great dvd.. Pick it up.

Absolutely Anointed Brilliance!!!
To this Live DVD, all I can say is WOW!!!I tell you what, I haven't seen a Live production like this in ALL my life. Every song, every musician, every vocalist, every technical/ graphical director was on it on this one.I have not one criticism. Just watching this DVD throughout was a special blessing, and I thank God that this DVD came into my life at a time when I needed a God-sent word the most.Fred, keep ministering, your labour is surely NOT in vain.THIS IS A TOTAL MUST BUY WHETHER YOU'RE SAVED OR DO NOT KNOW JESUS. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER!Be Blessed!!!

Loved it.
Fred Hammond is a premiere artist. He can cover traditional gospel as well as his own contemporary sound. There seems to be no end to his talent. All that talent and he always seems to keep the real purpose of his work, praising and worshipping God, in the forefront. Just like his other work, Free to Worship is a blessing to those who love the Lord.

GREAT!!!!
This is a great DVD and must have for any gospel music and Fred Hammond fan. When I bought the album it came with a bonus dvd that had 3 songs from the DVD and I knew then I had to have it for my family. We watch/listen to this just about everyday. my 3 year old daughters LOVE it and always say "I want to watch the new Fred Hammond" like I said a must have and great.

Nice concert
I enjoyed this DVD.The only thing negative:The sound and video are not in sinc. There is an obvious delay. The fact that no one has commented on this in their review makes me wonder if I received a defective DVD.Other than that, "It's all Good"

Fred Hammond is still our modern day David!
Awesome! This is the Fred Hammond we came to know and love from Spirit of David. RFC sounds great also. I was truly blessed by the lyrics on songs like "Simply Put". Hearing "This is the Day" Hammondized was great too. This CD will have you dancing, as well as meditating on the goodness of the Lord. Thanks again Fred for letting God use you.
