Delirious call it a day
Delirious have been one of the most important and influential Christian bands since I became a Christian back in the late 90’s. Sadly they have decided to fulfil their outstanding commitments into next year and then call it a day. Even if you are not a fan it is hard not to see the impact they have had on the worship culture and style of many churches including ours.
I first saw them in a church in Leigh and last saw them at Alton Towers in 2007 (their matching white suits made my eyes burn). They were always amazingly good live even if people did feel the need to do the ‘Jesus’ chant during the quiet bits. Stu G sometimes wore a kilt but it was better when he didn’t!
Here is a youtube tribute with some of their best songs:
Rain Down
Paint This Town Red
I’m Not Ashamed (which even now is giving me goosebumps)
I really wanted to include Hang on to You but the only youtube video I could find had bad audio and weird people. Check it out if you are feeling brave -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHq0LSrwRaw
