Stryper - Tim Gaines last show !Complete Set! MORC 2017 LIVE Pool Stage

[@mpmattson]

It's kinda a miracle that Stryper even exists in a world where faith is so often mocked and shamed. You might disagree with the message, but you can't find fault with the musicianship. They are no cheap imitation.

i love music and the lyrics

[@steevrawjers]

yes agreed stryper is 100 percent original they rock

[@chrisbawiec]

This band does an amazing job of performing their original music. So many other bands from that era cannot currently even perform their own music in a recognizable manner. Stryper is 100% squared away even after 33 years! 👊🏻🙏🏻✝️👍🏻

[@Superkool7866]

Man the PIPES Michael Sweet STILL HAS!!!! AMAZING!!!!! Rockin for the ONE who is THE ROCK!!!!!!!! JESUS!!!!!!

[@Chris05161967]

M*A*S*H is on right now. But what am I doing. Watching the WHOLE concert!!!! Robert, Michael, Timothy, and Oz, thank you for all the music for the past 34yrs.!!!!!

[@zackamanda9799]

Long Live STRYPER !!!!!!!!!! , Michaels voice is still so strong and Robert is still kicking ass on the drums. Tim Gains one of the best bass players I ever heard and Oz Fox is a killer guitar player.

[@llcruize]

That Mike can still get to anywhere the height of that ending high note in The Way is a testament to strength of his voice and taking good care of it.

[@slownezy69]

I agree he's absolutely amazing!!! Oz & Timmy too, those harmonies sound great. There is a method to his madness, thats why they did HONESTLY right before, to give his voice a breather.

[@brianrussell1565]

Today still sounds as great as ever

[@lonjanis6001]

Love Stryper..and Robert is just a freakin monster.. Still after all these years. Rock On Guys !!

[@slownezy69]

I'll tell you what... he kicked ass on Over The Mountain. The pace was a little fast but he flat out nailed those Lee Kerslake drum parts.

stryper has been a huge influence is my life, there music is just so awesome could not imagine no stryper, thanks guys for everything you do,

[@edwardmorales1245]

This band is just awesome all around, and the drummer really hits them hard, I've seen them many times, waiting for the next show, they are like the wine, the older the better. Rocking for the One!

[@Helmarish]

I've been a fan of them for many years, lyrics without equal enter deep in the heart and pluck out sin with certainty. Thank God for their existence.

[@maximoarcia1124]

GOD gave stryper the gift of true rock where it truly counts, giving us the greatest message in existence!! The gospel message's we all need to listen to especially in this day & age, anyways all & all stryper truly rocks!! Keep on rocking!!!!😁😁😁😁😁

Check out Michael's vibrato @ 16:16 -damn awesome -he has always been an underrated guitarist and love his signature sound

[@take5DD]

Remember seeing these guys back in 87 with Armored Saint. They were tossin out bibles to the crowd. I was a college freshman and guys in my dorm were asking, "You're going to a 'Stripper' concert?". LOL.

[@maxheadroom1837]

My only regret is that Michael and Oz didn’t go off on longer trade off guitar solos because they had the potential to be on the KK Downing/Glen Tipton level musically and talent wise.

[@kennytaylor7914]

God Bless you guys! in your early day i was so stoned and drunk i just got off on the music. Now the lyrics, thank you guys for staying true to God.

[@jerrysmission]

Robert Sweet is still the balls!!! Best Drummer!

[@ryant3600]

It's positioned like most kits are. I know he usually positions it sideways. He does that so he has a clear view of the audience and vice versa. But the stage here is very limited on space, so I'm sure that's why he's facing forward.

[@JoseMorales-jn5qw]

Best drummer? he is good but quite the stretch.

[@ZakEdwardsOfficial]

from his first hit, he was into it. a Lesson for every drummer out there..in all styles. You could tell Michael had enough of the bass player in this show too.

[@shawneldridge4524]

😟 it's a shame that Timothy it's no longer in Stryper. Things happen for a reason. All I can say is I wish to see all the best of luck to what he does next. Going to miss Timothy in Stryper + it's going to be a little bit strange and weird not see Timothy in Stryper anymore either. At least Stryper got a new guitar player.

I've loved Stryper since I was 16 I'm 46 so yea its been years since I've seen them in concert. Great recording.thank you for sharing

[@JoeBlow-cw4pu]

Crazy....me too. A friend at church gave me a Yellow & Black Attack record (yes record) when I was 16. At 46 now, I'm still hooked. :)

[@basspolizei6347]

Im 52 and saw them live and met with them out back to pray outside the "Old Lady on Brady" in Tulsa in about 82-83. Saw them last year in OKC and they haven't changed much. Still awesome - although Roberto needs to turn his kit sideways like it was.

[@GR-zf5dm]

StacyinMS Stacy I saw them in 89 San Bernardino orange show

[@Superkool7866]

I will be 49 next week. I remember in an Independent Baptist Church the Assitant Pastor and Choir Director showed us a pic of Stryper in their tight yellow and black outfits with their make up looking like women with their long hair. I was a teen and believed they were bad cuz I was told. That was early 80s. I later grew to LOVE Stryper in the LATE 80s and 90s and STILL today. They STILL know how to ROCK!!!!!

[@Superkool7866]

.........and the pic/article said Stryper wore enough chains to tie up several elephants........HOOO BOY!!! Those were the days in an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church.

[@zapp99]

Oh my lord they are still so good after all these years! In fact I think they got better! Even though Michael couldn't possibly still reach those screaming highs like when he was younger, to be able to hold such a a gig says a lot about the man.

[@slownezy69]

I was on this cruise... he sounded pretty fuckin ON from where I was standing.

[@frios011]

THEY STILL GOT IT!!!

[@alfredobiosca6162]

STRYPER live is just amazing music rhythm lyrics and good vibe even if you are not christian the message is the message!!! Incredible Incredible dream come true to see them live with the original members again after the 80's.... should that happen again in the future? hope it does! Wish them all and each of them nothing but the BEST!!! SUCCESS!

[@filsolano5465]

Robert is the meat and potatoes in Stryper. Impecable timing, and solid as a rock! He’s still a huge inspiration to me. It’s cool how he has three floor toms. I have a 16”&18” floor toms and it’s a bit of a stretch for me. I can’t imagine having an extra one. I’m waiting to see them here in Texas at the end of May. I’m gonna miss tiny Tim with them. I will still check out his other projects anyways. God bless both Tim and the rest of Stryper.

Woouuuu!! Amo a Stryper ,nunca pensé ver fallar vocalmente a Michael, seguro tenía cansada la garganta, To hell empezó mal y terminó mal, Ojalá haya seguido mejor de su garganta

[@basspolizei6347]

FYI the Bass is an Overture brand TG Signature and Michael and Oz are playing Carvin axes. One last point - you will or should notice that in some songs Michael and Oz prove they are heavy weights in the world of dueling leads. Top three club actually. Maiden, Priest and Stryper in that order simply because of age not talent. All three have dueling lead guitarists that made rock history!

[@steve7onfire]

Yes it's true that Tim's bass is an Overture, but Mike is using here his signature Washburn V and Oz is using one of his GMW signature guitars. Mike used to use a Carvin Ultra V, loved that guitar. Still has it and I've seen it up close, beautiful man.

I don't agree with their religion, but these guys fucking ROCK!! an listen to Michael Sweet's voice...sounds the same as 30 years ago....AMAZING!

[@HorologicRannygazoo]

To those criticizing the show, I see all the symptoms of stage monitor issues. The vocal hesitance, the drum mishits, they look at their instruments a lot more than at other shows I've seen. It's really hard to play and sing this stuff when you can't hear. Less professional acts wouldn't be able to do the show at all.

[@rudoplooy1163]

great thanks!

[@ronwieloch4485]

With such a short set I'd omit the cover songs. Especially if it's someone's last show with the band.

I remember a time they used to play in jam packed arenas.

Roberto turn your kit sideways man. That is your signature beyond your pure, unadulterated incredible playing. Michael you sound incredible for what your poor body and throat has been through. Loved it all!

[@monroefive-o40]

Bass Polizei...Robert gets sea sick when when he would see the water. So they turned his riser so he couldn't see the water out of the corner of his eyes.

[@basspolizei6347]

Monroe thanks for the explanation. However, I saw them in Dallas and OKC before seeing this and he was facing the crowd with no water even nearby. I think he wanted to change it up a bit but I wished had not because that and his playing made him different and super cool. He is the "visual time keeper." 33 or so years after first meeting them in Tulsa I met him again at OKC. I told him that we had done this exact thing in Tulsa 30 plus years ago. He bowed his tired head oddly. He then looked back at me and said "the Old Lady right?" He was right! That was the theater he had met me at 30 plus years earlier. Exhausted as he was he still was pure in thought and was correct.

[@monroefive-o40]

Bass Your probably right. I know it was something the guys used to rag him about.(Getting Sea Sick) so I just took it for that here. He did like to change it up in later years! I think it was just expected of him to always play sideways to the crowd that when he didn't there was some other reason why he didn't. Personally I like the change up from time to time! The guy is a monster behind the kit! I like how he has those insane spurts of wild-man! Can't get any cooler than that!

[@melissaB.1978]

I think Robert just got tired of looking sideways and not directly at the crowd. I guess it would get boring being you playing a big arena rock show and youre not even looking at your fans. Maybe he looked just a time or two when he happens to turn his head. We use to purposely stand towards that side of the stage just so we could look at Robert face to get a good look at his playing skills from a different view !

[@basspolizei6347]

Maybe M. but it was so cool and unique like the rest of the members and band that it added that extra needed touch to make them stand out amongst the crowd and it worked. Just sad that those days are over. If your ever a drummer in a band do it. It will get you noticed and it added clarity to his claim to fame - the "visual time keeper."
