MercyMe & Newsboys
by Krashbrat on 8/14/10Iowa State Fair - Des MoinesIt was a humid and hot night at the IA State Fair but these groups didn't seem to mind at all. Newsboys were the opening act and they did an AWESOME job. I could've listened to them for another hour. They were high energy, upbeat and the music and vocals sounded great. I was surprised at how many of their songs I actually new. Great show. MercyMe also gave a good concert. I loved the big screens and during a couple of songs they put the words on the screen so no one had an excuse not to sing along. The only downside is they had their music way too loud that it drowned out their vocals. Therefore, at times it felt more like a rock concert. Had their music been toned down a bit more I would've given this group a higher score. Overall, I enjoyed the concert.
