Fan-filmed video footage of Stryper‘s performance last weekend [Aug. 8] at Legends Of Rock Festival in Spain can be seen below.
As previously reported:’Stryper will not be touring at all in 2015. We’re letting this be known so our fans can plan accordingly and hopefully come out and see us this year. So if you’re in the area come on out and get ready to rock! Thanks for all of your continued prayers and support and we hope to see you out on the road! God Bless you all,’
As previously reported, Stryper will release a concert CD/DVD combination called “Live At The Whisky” on September 23 via Frontiers. The live recording was captured at a sold-out show last November at the legendary Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood, California. The 16-track collection documents the band’s first show in support of its latest, critically acclaimed release, “No More Hell To Pay”. From the show opener ‘Legacy’ to the final notes of show finale ‘Soldiers Under Command’, “Live At The Whisky” documents Stryper‘s rich musical legacy that spans over 30 years. The original lineup comprised of Michael Sweet (vocals/guitars), Robert Sweet (drums), Oz Fox (guitars) and Tim Gaines (bass) showcase the musicianship and songs that garnered the band a huge fan base in the mainstream world and the Christian market.
A trailer for the DVD can be seen HERE.
