Stryper - Live In Indonesia At Java Rockin' Land

"Stryper" kickin' Heavy Metal!
Let me begin by saying I just received my DVD today. I finished watching it and I am 100% satisfied! I have been a "Stryper" fan faithfully since their EP release "Yellow and Black Attack" in 1984. I have seen them when they where huge and also later and have never ever been let down. These guys just plain throw down and always have! This DVD sounds great! Has a real good mix for the sound. I thought I would miss the 5.1 Surround Sound but it sounded so good I can't complain. The live footage is shot very good and covers all members unlike alot of other videos I have seen by other bands. "Stryper" has always been incredible musicians as well as people and CAN HOLD UP TO ANY BAND ANY TIME. "Michael Sweet" and "Oz Fox" are simply one of the best guitar duo's you will ever see or hear. It is awesome having "Tim Gaines" back in the band after the short stint without him because he is an amazing bass player and singer. "Robert Sweet" of coarse is one of the coolest drummers ever and is rock solid still to this day. The band sounds very tight as they have been every concert I have seen. I do want to address some of the reviews about "Michael's" singing. People have said he can't hit the notes like he used to. This is what I suggest to those people. You might want to take another listen because "Michael" hits his trademark highs very well just for instance on the ending of "The Way" "To Hell With The Devil" and check out his excellant vocal intro for "Soldiers Under Command" with the crowd and again smoking vocal ending for that song. "Michael" has always sang with the crowd and let the crowd sing. The reason is because the fans like the band so much and he gets them into it. Why not let them join in the fun. "Michael Sweet" is one of the coolest lead guitar front men bar none still to this day and still has an incredible voice. If you like Stryper do yourself a favor and buy this because you will love it. My son who is 16 grew up listening to Stryper and his words to me after was that they are one of the best live bands he has ever seen and couldn't believe how tight they were. Very cool DVD! I wish they had a CD of this also.

Enjoyable
Stryper-Live in Indonesia-This video is so good, I thoroughly enjoy popping this DVD into my DVD player every chance I get. The video quality is excellent. A handful of times the camera gets washed out by a spot light, and a handful of times a camera is out of focus for a second, but is corrected immediately. I’ll get to the sound quality in a minute, but let me just say that the sound quality is so good that none of what I mention here detracts from this video. I was a little disappointed in the fact that they did a keyboard ‘only’ version of Honestly instead of the album, drum version. And, It’s obvious, to me anyway, that they cut out a chunk of video during the ‘Loud ‘N Clear’ guitar solos, and I wish they would have left more of that in the final video project. At an hour and ten minutes, this video is worth every penny. The sound quality is very good. The drums are mic’ed properly. Robert sweet is an incredible drummer. One of my favorite parts of his performance is when he takes a second to smile and point at the camera during ‘All for One’. The guitars are nice and beefy. Michael Sweet and Oz Fox are very talented guitarists. Timothy Gaines is an accomplished bassist, in his own right, and holds his own for the Loud ‘N Clear’ solos. The overall mix is very good, and near-perfect in my opinion. A Stryper fan to any degree should enjoy this video. That being said, I would highly recommend this video to all Stryper fans. You will not be disappointed. I certainly wasn’t. This video is a real joy to watch.

Good Show
I am a huge Stryper fan, and can accurately assess the band's performance. This is a good performance. Missing some of the little things, but nothing large enough to ruin the show. If you are a die hard fan, than don't hesitate adding this to your collection. If you are just getting into Stryper, than I would suggest that you order the Stryper: Greatest Hits - Live in Puerto Rico. That is a five star show, this one is a four star show.

It doesn't get any more honest than this (my review)!
I bought this video simply because it was something like $1.99 so I figured I'd spend $1.69 on a Coke so I decided to buy it!I've only heard about this band since the 80's... May have heard "to hell with the devil" once in the past 20 years?I know none of their songs.I watched it and thought the production was very well done. The band sounded good, the camera work was fantasic and the mix of the music seemed correct.That's about all I can say since I know almost nothing about this band... If you are a Stryper fan, I would think you would like it? If you would like to know more about Stryper, I would think this is a good place to start, if you're just lookin' to pick up a video for casual browsing, I think this video has the balls.It's a very good video!

STRYPER can still rock!!
Well the boy's made another live dvd and I would say they are still kickin' out the jams quite well! They play most of their popular one's and a few new ones too. Musicianship is tight and the twin leads and trade off's of Michael & Oz are most excellent, while Tim lays down some cool bass riffage and Robert follows with lots of nice fills. Overall the sound quality sounded pretty amazing on my Yamha 7- channel surround sound system....sending my neighbors screaming for more!!Michael's vocal's have tamed down over the yrs. and he doesent get some of the high notes he once did, but he is pushin' 50, so with that said....he still sound rather awesome and they still put on a good show....plus have not lost any talent whatsoever!This is a good buy for anyone who like high voltage rock'nroll !

Che altro dire... Una leggenda! Sono pochi i gruppi che dagli anni '80 ad oggi hanno mantenuto un simile livello qualitativo. Anzi, forse sono addirittura migliorati!

loud n clear!
Fantastic gig of Stryper playing in front of a large outdoor show in Indonesia. Playing all the hits from Soldiers under command and Too hell with the Devil and one off Murder by pride. Sound is excellent and so too is the picture quality for SD. If you are a fan, get it. If not, try em, they rock harder than most metal/rock bands of today.
