We always knew these guys could play and, above all else, sing. But when you listen to this album, it still just blows you away that a guy can sing like this live.
Containing their best of the best (on a reunion tour around the US), this is a fabulous showcase of what Stryper were all about. Whether you pay attention to the lyrics or not (I tend not to...), the music and energy is just brilliant. This is up there with the bet live albums of all time.
Memories : Front row of the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, June 1987. One of the loudest gigs of all time, in the Yellow & Black outfits. Remembering the whole day – Pete Orgill with his scotch, which was duly confiscated, Dorky losing his card in the cashcard teller, Bono asking for a lift with a guy in a Porsche, people getting trampled fighting over the Stryper Bibles they tossed out during gigs. Ah to be 17 and foolish again...
Rating : One of the best live albums of all time (oh – I've already said that.. :) ). 5/5.
