Spirit West Coast 2002
Arthur Anderson

Spirit West Coast 2002, over twenty thousand people a day, with more than ten bands, and a handful of speakers each day. With grateful audiences, bands such as Switchfoot, Newsboys, Delirious, Toby Mac, skillet and a few more, people cheered jumped screamed and stomped around like monkeys to get the shot, make the mark and get on stage with Audio Adrenaline or on the camera with the jumbotron, with twenty to forty stores and artist shops there to look and peek around you can see just about anything. With ships and tigers standing thirty or so feet high kids have fun, while the adults rock out at the concerts and watch the other youngins at the skate park.

While on Friday night Newsboys rocked out with the angels, and played with the people, Audio Adrenaline had Young and OLD come on stage to rock out with Big House and other noisy loud and youngish songs.

With more than 1000 children sponsored through Compassion International by people throughout the concert, new commitments and lives given to the Lord people were changed. With people mooching and screaming aloud, people were changed. No matter what you say or what you think this year was the most dramatic of them all. It was amazing to see the truth behind what everyone came together to preach.
