This is the first Stryper live album which was recorded during their come-back concert across America in 2003 and marked the return of the classic line-up after 12 years in hiatus since the last "Can't Stop The Rock" compilation.

Judging from the setlist, basically you got the chance to be able to hear most of their heyday hits but the huge disappointment here is that they didn't bring along any track from "In God We Trust" album. After more than 20 years roaming around the arena, Michael Sweet still got the power to reach the high-notes and the harmonic vocals that made them popular still there. The sound production is quite satisfying although some people complained that the drums sound is a lil bit overworked and dominant.

If you already got most of their earlier releases, this one is a valuable piece to complete the puzzle, but if you're new to Stryper, although this can be a good starter, I would recommend you to pick the "7 : The Best of", covering all great tracks and included with two new songs.
