Caesar took the cue, and spent several minutes going up and down the aisle, ad libbing.Īnother reprise comes with the very funky "Brighter Day", as Franklin encourages 'all of the grandmas out there' to stand up and get their groove on.
"Caught Up" moves into reprise territory with Franklin handing to mic over to Shirley Caesar, who after tearing the house down with her lead on the song, had gone to sit in the front row with the congregation. There's also several brief interview segments with Franklin, and also Shirley Caesar and Willie Neal Johnson. While not all of the songs on the CD make it to the DVD (which is understandable, since the CD was a mix of studio and live cuts), those that did come with extra portions several have extended intros or a reprise. The choir microphone setup is not traditional, with groups of three around each mic. The theme is all-white, with ankle-length choir robes and white suits on everyone else. Recorded in July 2000 at Houston's Lakewood Church, pastored by Joel Osteen (who is seen in attendance via congrational shots), the visuals are stunning.
#REBIRTH KIRK FRANKLIN LIVE VIDEO FULL#
Video production from Tim Malone (who has handled Franklin's prior video recordings) is stellar, with multiple vantage points courtesy a full crew of ten cameramen. In fact, you could rightly call this the epitome of what DVD is supposed to be, for it's far more than simply a video version of the live portion of the CD. Certainly, there is much to dig into, as it not only offers some stunning concert visuals of the live portion of the album, but also provides many extras. The release of the accompanying DVD some seven months after the February 2002 release of the CD will no doubt pique the curiousity of everyone who has the audio. Crammed with guests and harking back to the feel of the artist’s earlier work that first grabbed the attention of the Gospel world back in 1993, it has become a favorite of most throughout the Gospel nation (see album review). Kirk Franklin’s Rebirth project needs no further introduction. Reviews - DVD Kirk Franklin (Rebirth of Kirk Franklin)
