Ticket said 8 so got there at 7. Doors actually opened at 8:30. Door guy says its no big deal because opening band goes on at 9. Then put doors open at 8 on the ticket! we expected the show to start at 8. First band was ok. We expected Stryper next, but nope. We get a band that's like U2 next. Horrible fit. They play way too long. I stand there with my kid until 11 and Stryper still isn't on and I have to leave because my kid is tired. A show shouldn't start after 11 and if that's your plan, say that on the ticket.

I've seen these guys more than I can remember or even count. They are Awesome!! I honestly think they have gotten better with age. Having seen many metal bands from the 80's, it refreshing to see a band that is all the originals and how good they sound. Many bands sound horrible and like they haven't put an effort in to practice. Stryper Sounds tight and well put together!

Amazing! This band is timeless and should seriously get a more permanent touring schedule going. They were tight performance -wise and engaging with the crowd...who clearly adored them.

Great set list, covering all of their biggest hits and some of my personal-favorite "heavier" songs.

Really cool guests in Todd La Torre, Toni Harnell and Jeff Scott Soto...which made for some impressive vocal acrobatics!

Simply amazing...good honest Metal with a positive message...also, refreshing to attend a show where the "MF" word is not used every 30 seconds! Thanks Stryper for bringing something so positive, yet aggressive to music!

Even after 28 years in music, The guys in Stryper still rock. While that is obviously a matter of opinion. I don't think many Stryper fans would disagree. From the opener Sing-Along song. To the finale Soldiers under Command, It is a show that any Stryper fan should check out.
Playing a wide range of their past songs from nearly every album. While announcing future plans for a new album next year. Thanking their fans for 28 years of support, 25 years in my case.
I would urge any Stryper fan, (young or old, New or one who has been a fan of the band since the 80s) to check them out. Definitely worth the $20 dollar price of admission, in my opinion!

The Band was awesome. The sound mix was good, although at times, the Drums over-powered the vocals. It was great seeing all the original members still playing together. Micahel's voice was not doing that good, although he explained why. Stil Overall, I had a great time watching them perform on-stage.

I love me some Stryper. I've been a fan since 1984 and have seen the band nine times since the first time a friend put the screams of "Loud and Clear" on his turn table for me.

Thursday night, July 26th at the HOB in Orlando was a rough night for the boys.
Michael confessed to the crowd that he was still recovering from an illness he picked up a couple weeks before while touring in eastern Europe. There were no familiar high notes, but Michael did pour what he had into the songs, as best he could. Oz covered a lot of the vocals and Tim killed it as usual.

The illness led to more crowd banter than normal. I would say the band talked at least 20 minutes of the 75 minutes they were on the stage. It was a bit like watching Ali in his late career covering up his face and hiding in the ropes to "outlast" his opponent.

The band kicked off the set with "Sing Along Song." In my opinion, the lamest song they ever penned. This was the song that truly turned the stomachs of their original hard rock fans as they tried to gain more market share and exposure during the MTV rich "To Hell With the Devil Album." Gentlemen, I don't care what the billboards say, please take that song off future set lists... or at least don't start with it. Please. You have written at least a dozen songs that would be better openers. Again, please, let's sing along to something else.

Beyond that, the band killed it and gave their hearts and abilities to the Lord that evening.

Now, to the HOB folks. Please hire FOH people that can actually mix. All night long I get hammered in the chest with 100Hz and less from the kick drum while the mids were completely missing. It's the best twin guitar 80s band ever... and I can't hear the guitars.
Unbelievable.
C'mon HOB. You're one of the last good places to see live music. Get a real engineer. Or, if you're going to hire some Full Sail graduate who wasn't even born by the 80s and has only ever listened to the bass beats of hip hop artists.... and thinks chunky midrange should be drowned out at all costs.... save that guy for the hip hop shows. Please.
The sound quality this night really was awful.

Finally. Stryper please bring back some theatrics to your stage show. Stripe those amp cabinets or bring back the "wall of stripes" facade you've had in the past. Put Robert's Crush drums back in a striped cage. Half of your draw was your look. It feels like you're touring on the cheap. I'd pay another $20 at the HOB to see the "real show." Your crowd's are going to keep thinning if you don't bring the real deal back, IMHO.

A new album of original "back to the Hell with the Devil era sound" was hinted at by Michael this night. Good. But, I would suggest taking it back to the first two albums. Put Oz in the driver's seat and let that long hair write some chunky riff magic.
Thanks!

Went to see 39Stripes, and LOVED the concert. Best they have ever sounded. The technicians did a fantastic job on the boards.

Stayed for a couple of Stryper songs, but left soon after due to travel time home.

I've been to all their concerts for the past 28 years and they are still electrifying! The energy they expel is awesome. We are thrilled that all the performers of Stryper have remained together all through the years. Michael sang all the best songs that brought out an enormous display of energy and excitement from the audience. Oz was truly incredible as was Timothy and amazing Robert. The concert finale was utterly moving when Michael asked for all to join in prayer for thanks to our Heavenly Lord. God bless you Stryper. We love you and are looking forward to next year.

I've only seen Stryper since they got back together almost 10 years ago. Sure, I have all their 80's album on vinyl, but I just didn't see them live back then. They are so tight, it makes the young'ns look like muling punks. The guitar work with constant harmonies and solos, is the stuff that made metal and hard rock what it is. They played all of the songs from old that I wanted, but they omitted the AMAZING newer songs that I think are even better ! Their regional opener, 39 Stripes out of Tampa were fantastic. they were also tight and their songs were compelling. There is also nothing like closing a great rock show with an inspiring prayer. The entire House of Blues, full of fervent rock fans, silent with heads bowed while Michael Sweet leads a solemn prayer, nobody has the integrity to do inspire that response. Nobody. Love it. I will not miss another Stryper concert, ever.

I have enjoyed the music of Stryper since 1985. This past Friday night's concert took me down memory lane and provided new memories as well. Stryper is one of my favorite bands. I am so thankful they continue to create and play the best Rock n Roll on the planet.
I appreciate Wildhorse Saloon's staff for their accomodation and customer service. The venue was comfortable and the staff were helpful and inviting.

This is the second time I have seen Stryper. The first time, I went with a friend and I had no idea who they were. This time, I knew many of their songs, and it was so much more enjoyable! Michael Sweet had lost some of his vocal range due to a bug that he caught while they were traveling overseas, but they more than made up for it with the rest of the show. Fantastic guitar work, excellent energy, and just a good time was had by all. I really appreciate their boldness to proclaim Christ wherever they go as well.

The show was Awesome. Didn't care much for the opening act and the intermission was to long also. I wish they could have played the whole time. Two songs I would have liked to have heard was "Honestly" and "Two Bodys, One Mind, One soul". That would have capped it off. Loved the fact they said a closing prayer at the end of the show and still wishing I could have caught one of the bibles. The meet and greet was great for the fact I got to meet them and got my picture with the band and them signing my CD but would have been nice to hang out with them longer. The band was very tight musically and the vocals was great even though he was fighting a cold. Going back next year....
