Stryper 25th Anniversary Tour

Post Published:

My husband and I went to see Stryper in Atlanta a few days ago, Wednesday, October 21, 2009. The whole show was really good. I really liked their opening band, Manic Drive. I’d not heard of them previously, and found their show super, so we got a couple of t-shirts & their latest CD after the show from their booth.

Stryper was fantastic too. It’s the 3rd time I’ve seen them, which isn’t as much as I would like it to have been. My first was in 1988 Sept. in Disney World “Night of Joy” event. My friend and I went just for them, though I’d been to other NoJ events before that. That year it was precisely Stryper that I wanted to see and that was that.

I never did have friends interested in Stryper like I was, and being an introvert wasn’t one to find ways to get to concerts unless people I already knew would want to go, the internet not being a way to connect to others back then … sigh.

So I went through the mid-80’s with that one Stryper attendance, and then finally in 2005 I got to go again, when they released a new album and toured again after a hiatus. This year they released another album, and I wasn’t able to get it until just this month. I didn’t listen to it a lot, but loved it the first listen I gave it. I didn’t plan on attending the concert, things being tight of late, but mentioned that the concert that I knew would be in Atlanta had changed from what I last knew and it was to be that coming Wednesday. I said something about it to my husband and he initiated interest in seeing if there were tickets available. There were.

So we had a date. It was tiring, but fun. It was exhausting, but worth it.

I have some horrible cell phone pictures that I have to sort through, tag, and load up somewhere online, so I’ll make a Page here about it when I get that done.

    Hey, who is stryper? never heard about them. what is it, rock? country?

    Your info about daylight savings time is wrong. it says here on Oct 25 but it isnt until Nov 1. it changed to November a couple years ago. You should update your time thing. I am sick with the flu. My hubby is too. He came down with it a day before me so we both got it from someone else but it seems to be the same thing. swine flu- maybe, but mild so far.

    Becky, you’ve never heard of Stryper? Of all the music in the world that I like, they are in my TOP list of absolutely favorites.

    They started out in the early 80’s in the L.A. area. They are a “Christian” Rock/Metal band. They put out a new album in 2005 and just a couple of months ago another new one, they weren’t so active for awhile, but are once again.

    I know about DST stuff, the sidebar thing there is an old script that runs automatically. I have to manually change the script, and just haven’t done so. Thus, it’s a people checker, do you read, can you compute information? You pass, Becky! 🙂

    Hope you are feeling better soon, don’t get too sick. That’s the part of Autumn/Winter I don’t like, how easily people pass illness on to others. Yuck.
