Resurrection Band, also known as Rez Band or REZ, was a Christian rock band formed in 1972. They were part of the Jesus People USA Christian community in Chicago and most of its members have continued in that community to this day.
A double-CD set, XX Years Live was recorded in March of that same year at the Copernicus Center Theatre in Chicago, to celebrate 20 years of music ministry.The concert features at least one song from every REZ release, and in addition, Glenn Kaiser and his wife and co-lead singer, Wendi Kaiser, take a few minutes each to speak to the audience.
Civil Rites is also more forcefully evangelical than REZ' two prior releases. The band returns to issues of importance to its younger high-school -aged audience, like casual sex and its emotional aftermath (song "Players"), family turmoil ("In My Room"), and drug addiction—specifically crack cocaine ("Little Jeanie").
Live Bootleg is the first live album by American Christian rock band Resurrection Band, released in 1984. It was the band's first release for Sparrow Records, and also their first under the shortened moniker "Rez Band." Live Bootleg was the group's biggest selling album. [1]

As the band's final album of original material, it is a fitting swan song, given that Resurrection Band's entire reason for existence was to inspire listeners to seriously consider their own spiritual condition and their need for a Savior.
After the longest break between studio albums, REZ returned with a blues-based hard rock/metal sound (closer to their 1978 release Awaiting Your Reply [1]) that would set the pattern for all future releases, and was also indicative of the musical direction lead singer Glenn Kaiser would take in his solo career.
In addition, "Where Roses Grow" became a concert favorite among long-time Rez fans. Given the blues-oriented musical direction of Innocent Blood , the lyrics concern themselves primarily with issues of poverty ("Child of the Blues"), slavery ("80,000 Underground") the Devil ("Fiend or Foul") and the hope of Heaven ("Where Roses Grow").
