Casting Crowns traditionally follows a live CD release with a DVD. Though it may appear overkill to more casual listeners, diehard followers of this pop worship band are sure to appreciate this souvenir series, even if the brand-new The Altar and the Door Live doesn’t fully replicate the tour.
While the audio installment allows for a portable soundtrack, the DVD provides a more meaningful grasp on the tour’s impressive light show, jumbo screen and overall production, alongside documentary snippets about the band’s backstage world, ministry and family life.
Either format still leaves listeners wanting more. The band has yet to capture a complete concert on CD or film.
