Believe it or not, I was on the right side about 5 to 7 "rows" back, and I was the one that started yelling, "REASON FOR THE SEASON!!" Well, he heard me when there was a break in their talking, and he looked right at me and said, "Reason for the Season? Man, it's not Christmas, guy!" Oz turns away at the point he starts singing Winter Wonderland, as I think he knew Michael was going to start singing it. Michael puts his guitar back down because they were about to do Soldiers. At 1:22:10, Oz says, "It's not even on the set list, but here we go!" I check the set list after the concert, and it wasn't on there. This girl behind me was high-fiving me (multiple times) after Winter Wonderland because she said it was the only song of theirs that she had not heard them do live in concert. I told here I was wanting to hear "Reason for the Season," but to know I altered a Stryper concert, and left my mark on the world, made me smile inside.
My brother john and I were there" front row. Best concert EVER God bless Doug van pelt publisher and founder of Heaven's metal magazine man who introduced the band. God bless STRYPER!

Awesome performance of Makes Me Want to Sing, one of my favorite Stryper songs. This whole concert has got to be one of the best ever and with all four original band members! Someone tell Stryper this concert needs to be released on CD and DVD!
I was there too!! It was so great to see the boys back together. Who knew it was the start to Stryper 2.0 with such great records to come! Stryper rules! Michael Sweet played a great solo show there earlier in the day or the day before, I can't remember which now. He was supporting his solo album Truth.
06-More Than A Man - The tune that I feel, summed it all up, in spite of a hiccup, a few "they are human" mistakes, as to what STRYPER, as a band, (Not a 'Christian', nor a 'secular' band, STRYPER is, and will always be 'unique', a group unlike their peers, yet similar in some regards, they have a very specific, very enigmatic 'Calling' & Ministry), is all about! This tune opened doors that were previously closed & sealed very firmly from the other side...... Just an incredible song, I'd love to hear a new, updated version, with the newer production & engineering advances that have come to fruition in recent years. With the exception of "YAHWEH", I personally feel this is Stryper's greatest achievment as a band. 777 ~
I always heard about Cornerstone festival ever since there was a year that Living Sacrifice was headlining (I think they were, anyways). Wishing I could have seen them in concert and other bands. Now that I know Stryper played there, I wish I could have experienced Cornerstone even more!
MDK! I honestly lost track of the number of times myself, and friends went to see Stryper. This was a tremendous show, almost like a trip back through time! (I was not at this one........... "sadly") (IMHO), Stryper takes a "back seat" to nobody when you talk about "live performers". This was a great "first show" to see! My favorite live band, & fav. band period!
@@eriklarson9137 I was on one of the listening parties that they did for the new one, and it is completely amazing as well! I personally think it was better than “God damn evil”
Oh my gosh I used to go see Stryper live all the time when they came to the Crocodile Rock Cafe Allentown Pennsylvania. Since they had closed Crocodile Rock Cafe haven't seen striper since then. I will say that we do have a place right here in Bethlehem Pennsylvania called The Sands. But for some reason Stryper has never been there. I definitely would love to see Stryper play there like seriously. But I don't think that's going to happen. I did talk to the one guy who's in charge of hiring a band or whatever they do to have them come there. But so far no STRYPER yet. I truly do miss seeing them live in concert. Just hopefully one day I get to see them one more time before they retire but I doubt if that will ever happen. Like I said the only time I will get to see Stryper in concert again if they come to the Sands in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. I mean they did have Skillet come to the Sands in Bethlehem Pennsylvania but I prefer Stryper. Stryper is a lot more popular and much better than Skillet will ever be. Don't get me wrong I do like Skillet I have couple of their CDs and I want to see them live already. It's just that I rather see Stryper than any other bands.
I was at the show on the left . I was right beside the first security guy setting on the catwalk. There was this guy from England that couldn't see because of the guy setting there. He got mad and yelled at him. He says " Hey fat so , I didn't travel 3 thousand miles to stare at your bloody back " It was funny..
I was on the right about 5 to 7 "rows" back from the front, and had some guy trying to push a chair forward inch by inch, so he could get 15 inches closer to take a picture. He dug it in the back of my leg each time he moved it, and when I'd turn around, he would stand on the chair and take a picture. After a half dozen times of this, I grabbed the chair and started to shake it, and when he looked at me, I screamed in his face (as the music was screaming LOUD) that "IF YOU DON'T GET RID OF THIS FRICKIN' CHAIR, I'M GOING TO THROW THE DANG THING A FRICKIN' MILE!!!!!!!" I was SOOOOOOO close to busting out some curse words at a Stryper concert, but after screaming at him, I repented, and went on to rock it out the rest of the night.
Accept for a few bung notes.....STRYPER is so far in front of other christian acts in terms or song melody-consistency; general look of the band, and the singer is without doubt one of the finest singers EVER. The power of this music is undeniable and is beautifully written and played by these 4 individuals. All the other Christian bands are simply pretenders
Apparently you have never heard of: Theocracy Sacred Warrior Rob Rock Narnia Tourniquet HB Barren Cross Flyleaf Deliverance The Sacrificed Extol Seventh Avenue Shall I continue? There are more ..

i have, i was once a christian DJ. I know all those bands. Most are exactly where they belong..in the tracs or in your closet. None of those bands will EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR come close to stryper. So...ummm apparently i have heard of these bands
Actually, Theocracy has topped Stryper .. They just don't have the same exposure and promotion .. Why is that? Matt Smith is a music genius .. Rob Rock is actually a superior singer to M. Sweet .. Besides all that .. That is the problem .. Band worship .. That needs to stop .. Stryper is a very good band .. They are not the best band out there .. Galactic Cowboys could have been Nirvana .. If not Geffen made a different decision at the time .. And GC guys combined Metallica with the Beatles .. No one has ever done that .. GC's lyrics are far more thoughtful and in depth .. It is just like Megadeth .. 1/2 of the band are confessing Christians! One half of that half; a trained LCMS pastor .. Quite frankly dude .. The problem is "Christian" music .. The problem is "Christian" bands .. M. Sweet has been bold enough to admit that of late .. Why he works with G. Lynch et al .. J.S. Bach composed and performed both sacred and secular music ..

It was stupid to start this whole CCM movement .. You are not salt and light to the world .. When you enclose yourself in an enclave .. And preach to the choir ..
Not sure on specifics, but most things point to his divorce and remarriage. And, since Oz is also in that category. I speculate that Tim was possibly dating is new wife while still married to Irene Kelly. There was a lot of bad comments made, and a threat of a lawsuit by Tim against the band. They let him go...so sad. Tim and his new wife, Brandee, are claiming to be serving the Lord, despite all the fallout...and, that's all that matters in the end. God will sort out the details for all involved at the Judgement Seat of Christ.
why are they having guitar issues. why wasnt it organised properly. disgraceful. roadies wandering around on stage....this should only happen RARELYYYYYY
Sorry, aber diese Stryper reissen mich absolut nicht vom Hocker, da gibt es viele, viele bessere Bands, vorallem in Europa, z. B. auch in der kleinen Schweiz, hier ein Tipp HAÏRDRŸER, das ist richtig geiler 80's Hardrock im Sound der heutigen Zeit und mit sehr viel Humor!!!
They’ve said from the beginning they didn’t want to be labeled a Christian band only because they felt that label would pigeonhole them into only being marketed in the Christian music scene and their albums being stuck in the small “gospel section” of secular music stores that no non Christian rock/metal fan would ever look at. Their mission is to reach the secular rock and metal fans, not just the church crowd. Remember, as Christians we are called to go into ALL THE WORLD to spread the message of the gospel, not the church world, and Stryper has never stopped doing that even up to now! No matter what label they have or don’t have, they continue to write songs boldly proclaiming the gospel, continue to throw out bibles to the crowd at their concerts, and continue to proclaim Jesus at their concerts no matter if it’s a secular venue to a secular crowd or a Christian crowd. Personally I couldn’t care less if they claim to be a Christian band or not because their fruit continues prove that they are committed to Jesus! Btw, I’m not trying to argue with you, just trying to help you see why Stryper doesn’t like to be labeled a Christian band. God bless!

God bless you! Jesus saves
These guys were better live than most 80's hair bands were on records. Better musicianship too. Amazing.
100% agreed. And the nicest, most down to earth guys ever.
Been a fan since the mid 1980's and will always be a Stryper fan. God Bless.

Check out their latest album, Fallen. It is their best work yet. Amazing.
jj bug Their new song from the upcoming album is killer
Better than most!
Wow! So Cool! Thanks for posting. They're doing You Won't Be Lonely Anymore :)

I was there!
I was here, front and center and it was awesome!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
HEAVY STRYPER METAL
This was my first Stryper concert! Didn't know it was filmed.
great show...Michael can sure belt those notes out!
Their latest is now "God Damn Evil"...but, I also think Fallen was AMAZING!!
What about now?
@@eriklarson9137 I was on one of the listening parties that they did for the new one, and it is completely amazing as well! I personally think it was better than “God damn evil”
Even the Devil Believes is the latest now, and its an absolute banger!
“No more He’ll to pay” is good, but “even the devil believes” is even better than “God Damn Evil” and both are better than “No more Hell to pay”
Gracias por sibir el video live. Saludos desde perú

"see you next time" Sadly that never happened.
R.I.P. Cornerstone. :(

Can't believe they played Cornerstone. I would think this would be something Chucky would make up. Where's KINGS X?
not michael sweet
Está faltando bass
Who is talking over the music at the beginning? Ugh. 😑
Pretty sure it is Doug VanPelt
WHY did they fire Tim Gaines? WHY,DAMMIT???!!!!!
Not sure on specifics, but most things point to his divorce and remarriage. And, since Oz is also in that category. I speculate that Tim was possibly dating is new wife while still married to Irene Kelly. There was a lot of bad comments made, and a threat of a lawsuit by Tim against the band. They let him go...so sad. Tim and his new wife, Brandee, are claiming to be serving the Lord, despite all the fallout...and, that's all that matters in the end.

i guess im wrong it sure doesnt look like him
why are they having guitar issues. why wasnt it organised properly. disgraceful. roadies wandering around on stage....this should only happen RARELYYYYYY

Their basest look kind of out of place.
Why?

Stryper lost my respect when they didn’t want to be a Christian band anymore.
They’ve said from the beginning they didn’t want to be labeled a Christian band only because they felt that label would pigeonhole them into only being marketed in the Christian music scene and their albums being stuck in the small “gospel section” of secular music stores that no non Christian rock/metal fan would ever look at.
