Switchfoot live is a completely immersive 1990s-and-onward Christian music concert experience. Lights, action, fog, heavy music, and uplifting banter are all hallmarks of a Switchfoot concert.
In a move similar to Jars of Clay and bands like Mercy Me, Relient K, and Zoe Girl the alternative rockers go hard. Muted colours ranging from blue to yellow bathe the stage and the band as they showcase their passion for music, God, and their fans.
Jon Foreman pushes his vocals into a smoky territory as he moves through the set list and the other members keep an inspired tempo and Tim aids with vocals. Progressing from the hard and heavy to the longing, Switchfoot maintains their intensity and prance around the stage full of energy for their fans.
As “Saltwater Heart” fades into “Meant to live” the energy levels merely shift rather than dropping and the plaintive notes take on an intensity of their own. A short break in the singing gives Tim a chance to engage the audience and he sets a haunting echoing call and return refrain with the audience. The music is obviously planned for this and the audience seems more like performers rather than observers.
Being involved with such a great band leaves me with a sense of oneness with myself and God. The band calls the set "summertime songs" and they remind me of years past in summer youthgroups, camps, retreats, and advances.
