Creed Live, captured during the band's long-awaited "Full Circle" reunion tour, includes the Creed favorites - "Higher," "My Sacrifice," "With Arms Wide Open" and "Bullets", plus new songs such as "Overcome" and "A Thousand Faces" from Full Circle, the band's first studio effort in seven years.
Full Circle recently debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 Charts second only to Michael Jackson's This Is It. The DVD includes a revealing documentary that follows Creed throughout "Full Circle" tour with exclusive band interviews and behind-the-scenes, and a photo gallery with over 100 photos from the 2009 summer tour. Directed by Daniel E. Catullo III (Rush, Nickelback, Alter Bridge, Smashing Pumpkins), the 239-camera, state-of-the-art high definition shoot was filmed in front of 18,000 screaming fans in Houston at The Woodlands - Cynthia Woods Pavilion on September 25, 2009.
"Making this DVD was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us," says Creed lead singer Scott Stapp. "I have never seen anything like it, nor have our fans. I'm excited to finally give Creed fans something they will never forget."
In addition to the 239 high definition cameras, the "Big Freeze" technology required over 200 Nikon still cameras to create an entirely new concert viewing experience in scenes which will be made available in the "Deluxe Edition" of "Creed Live" released in early 2010. "Being able to have access to so many different forms of technology and equipment for this shoot not only allowed me to capture Creed in a way never done before, it gives the viewers angles they would never otherwise be able to see," says director Dan Catullo.
