The 77's-Ping Pong Over The Abyss (Live Greenbelt 1983)

[@Darbobski]

The most underrated band of all time.

[@lewiswalker946]

I was there and this was utterly brilliant!

[@samuski36]

Mark Tootle is my uncle, the redhead on rhythm guitar! Never knew there was video of him playing live with these guys, awesome tune!

[@FlyingAxblade_D20]

you must be an ugly son. =) cherish is the new love, be well....I meant no harm. thick skin is an assett against jabs nowadays

[@johnlandrum1260]

I recently went through the same thing with my late uncle Bill Elton. Found out he played trombone with Miles Davis and is on a youtube video. Blew my mind, it was 1959, and I was 2 years old.

[@lowenbad]

Your uncle is a legend in some circles... and there is a TON of footage of him playing with the sevens.

[@johnlandrum1260]

Your uncle is a great songwriter too!

[@jeffbrett7849]

cathartic!

[@freddypersson1384]

Brings back sweet memories! I was there, young and hungry for rock´n roll, and thank God he blessed us with real rock´n roll. AMEN!!!

[@rennovattio7818]

I'm sorry but after listening to this all the way through this I'm afraid I'm just going to have to play it again. and again and again and aga...

[@martymackeever4160]

Hahaha indeed!

[@lewiswalker946]

Remember this as being utterly brilliant at the time!!

[@jetway7777]

Great 77’s greenbelt footage 1983 that was the year 100% proof headlined Festival...I got the full video!

[@Stryperdrive]

Now THIS is some classic footage... Even pre-Aaron "The A-Train" Smith... Amazing!

[@bankroller83]

This was my first Greenbelt. Still got the signed album.

[@jetpromys]

I love this tune, all the cool riffage. Would love to hear more stuff like this from the band. Other favorite tune is What Was in That Letter?

[@PlanetRockJesus]

A little rushed compared to the studio version, but who hasn't done that? Excellence. The 77s are one of the greatest rock groups ever.

[@jonathanpelphrey4549]

Wow! More please!

[@ehrldawg]

This is totally awesome!!

[@1223John1111]

wow...!!!!

[@FlyingAxblade_D20]

wow, forgot live jamming, thank you

[@tomk4590]

THE most authentic band to ever come out of the Christian marketplace. The core group put out some great music over the years.

[@jessieessex]

Proof that time travel is possible HERE

[@eeveelutionlover1636]

[@ianstrangward6900]

My first Greenbelt - loved it!

[@drsyn67]

~ I made my own custom band shirts in '85... I made a white one with the pink origami logo on the front, and some of the lyrics (mentioning "hell") on the back. It wasn't welcomed in youth group :)

[@stephenclark5815]

[@michaelganovski7077]

SOOO HOT!!!

[@BadSneakers]

Holy crap! I bet most folks are thinking I don't hear Jesus' name? lol This is forkn awesome, destroying the saccharine silliness of contemporary Christian music, and in 1983!

[@brainmog825]

+BadSneakers The 77's are ,one of a few bands , That Can or DO SHATTER THE "Fake" music scene (especially about Jesus and God's Truth to Mankind ) . ..Yes and They Always HAVE Been That Way. , I keep sharing to my friends on FB , but i am "unaware of any "new listeners of the 77's" .

[@brainmog825]

They are Truly Worthy of More Airplay !

[@Phoenixsuns2007]

Do you have any more songs from this concert?

[@skipbolance]

Why is Aaron Smith not playing drums ??? Incredible band !!!

[@miiormii]

Mark Proctor is playing the drums. He was the drummer on their 1st album.

[@FlyingAxblade_D20]

crowd is nt social distanced!

[@sonijam]

Could have been famous with a better producer and promoter.

[@glenkaiser633]

Are these the same guys that did "Baa baa baa baa" and "Caught in an unguarded moment"? Those 2 were great, this was just hideous.

[@freddypersson1475]

Yes, it’s the same band!
