STRYPER LIVE DVD-GOOD OR BAD?

CONCERTS ON DVD FAN | TN. | 05/04/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"PICTURE:Good picture quality.About an 8 out of 10.Most concert on dvd fans should be satisfied with the picture quality.There is not any overactive editing.The camera work focuses on one area for a normal amount of time before moving on.The picture goes from color to B&W for dramatic purposes i suppose,but not to the point of distraction.But it does mildly suffer from switching to different clothes and instruments from each scene.I assume this is edited from two different shows.Cant they catch this stuff in editing? SOUND:The sound options are stereo and surround sound.Should sound great on a surround sound system, but on a standard set you will have to crank the volume considerably.But the sound is crisp and clear, although i suspect a lot was re-recorded in post-production since you never get the "live vibe".Sounds more like a polished cd. PERFORMANCE:The guys in Stryper put on a solid performance. They all seem really into it, especially Michael Sweet. Brother Robert proves he is one of the most underrated drummers ever.The stage is simple:instruments,amps(yellow and black draped ones)and lights. No pyro or effects or anything like that,just their music and their message, which is totally fine. The audience really seem to be into the show and seems to know most of the songs as they sing along to almost every one.Shots of the audience are minimal, unlike other dvds that go from band to audience throughout the show. BONUS FEATURES:There are three vintage performances,a drum ,bass and guitar solo from a 1989 concert from Tokyo Japan that are fabulous .The picture and sound quality are great. This makes the dvd even better.(Check out that drum set-up!) OVERALL: None of the negative things that i have pointed out will deter your viewing pleasure,but i think that with a little more time and care these things could have been rectified.The good definitely out weighs the bad.If your a fan of Stryper as i am,or just a concert on dvd fan as i also am,at this price you cant go wrong by adding it to your collection."

You NEED to get this!!

"I was lucky enough to go to this exact concert and I have to say IT ROCKED!! From beginning to end it was hit after hit! Even if you don't share there beliefs, the music is just incredible! Michael Sweet's vocals are as crisp as they were back in the 80's, Roberts drumming, as always AWESOME! And you can't leave out Oz Fox's solos and Tim's bass playing. These 4 put on one of the best concerts I've seen in a while. If you like music from the 80's are into double guitar solos, then look no more this DVD is for you!"

Stryper - 'Greatest Hits: Live in Puerto Rico' (MVD)

"Here's a music DVD release that caught me completely off guard when I first saw it on the stands. I mean, it has been quite awhile since I've heard much about Stryper. They're like most other hard rock or metal bands that you support. Their music is good, but seeing them play live is just 'all too cool'. This fourteen track, 72 minute gig took place on March 6, 2004 in Puerto Rico. Myself, I don't remember every one of these songs but the ones I thought that frontman Michael Sweet and crew made them shine were "Calling On You", "Free", the awesome "Caught In The Middle", "Loud And Clear", "Soldiers Under Command" and their possibly anthem {?} "To Hell With The Devil". Sound and picture quality is great. Before you take the DVD out of the player, be sure to check out the extras, clips from a 1989 concert. I liked "Always There For You" (hadn't heard this tune in ages) and Oz Fox's stellar guitar solo the best. Old school Stryper fans will simply flip over this DVD."

"This DVD has a terrible sound, the band is great, the songs are great, the images are great but the sound is too low , too bad. Where is the quality control ? It seems a illegal copy!!"
