    Thanks for posting this. Having seen them many times over the years from the mid 80's until fairly recently, seeing them live never gets old. They however, are getting older. A couple of times I saw Oz shake his left hand to loosen it up before starting the next song. As an aging guitarist myself, I totally get it and do the same thing sometimes, depending on what I'm playing. It sounds like they're playing a half step down in tuning to save Michael's voice. There's no shame in this because everyone's voice ages differently. I heard Steve Walsh, the former vocalist from Kansas sing recently, and it made me cringe because it sounded like his vocal cords are shot. The fact that Michael can still sing like he does is pretty amazing, considering how difficult some of his vocals are.

    I recently watched an upload of their full concert from last September. I noticed he didn't do any of his signature high notes, except before and after the last song they performed.
    I'm -only- into the -first- last performance on this one and I noticed he didn't try any of those signature high notes there either (except at the very end).. I can't help but wonder why. Wonder if it's too much of a strain on his vocal chords now. Hopefully not.
    Otherwise his vocals are still awesome. But those high pitch shrills sends it over the top.
    Edit: I'm tripping. I guess I already watched this concert too, because it picked up right at the start of Yahweh when I clicked on it. I thought I was watching it from the beginning. I was super confused when Sweet said "Goodnight, everybody," after that performance. 😂

    Co'Mon rock,.. They never sing it anymore live. What a joke! I'm so sick of it now. It's almost starting to become asinine! To deliberately leave out one of the songs that actually got me into Stryper,
    . Is just ridiculous. I'm starting to really lose respect for him now. It's because it's one of the most recognizable songs I wasn't living right at the time. I was into only secular music and metal but then once I heard Stryper,.. That changed me. Their lyrics change me and let me know that you could be a Christian and still Rock hard! But one of the songs that I cherished the most was C'omon Rock, And Michael deliberately leaves it out of every set all the time. It's like they're ashamed of it or something. So I've really lost interest in going to anything live by them anymore. I'll buy their albums and CDs. Whatever. But won't support them live anymore. If you even listen to Michael talking about it. He absolutely rips on the song who never plays it never wants to play it. It's actually becoming very well known underground. All of the true heavy metal, hard rock Stryper fans have noticed but because we're Christians we really can't say nothing right!,.. Well I am a Christian and I am saying something. There's no reason not to play the song. You're choosing not to play it. So it's kind of lame that you do that.

      So, Stryper is required to sing the songs you want? How did you become so important to their career?

      @@donmcc6573 how did they become important without their fans!? And back in the early to mid '80s. That was one of their biggest songs. They played it all the time and fans loved it and pumped their fist in the air one time. Michael said he thinks it's a childish song so he don't care what us fans think then. Well us fans put them up where they are

      @@donmcc6573 Well then you must not be a true Stryper fan,.. because on all their podcasts online during live podcast fans asking that all the time and he ignores the question. I seen them once backstage at a meet and greet. I asked all three members about the song. They said they absolutely love the song. They don't know why they don't play it. When I got to Michael he said well I can't really fit it into the set. He doesn't give you a true explanation. So because you know he's doing it deliberately and on purpose it just makes you feel a certain way.......
