Koinonia - Live Ohne Filter Extra 

I'm with you! I like ALOT of genres of music - they do it all. Plus, they are great people too! I first became acquainted with them in Bible College early 80's. They blew me away from the first note. I was playing guitar and a fantastic bass player I knew told me "hey you gotta listen to these guys." I played those cassette tapes until the magnetics were chewed off! I then bought more! During the same time frame I found a little unknown guy from "Blue Jug" - who opened up for Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels. etc., his name is Ed Ratzloft. You got to listen to his 2 Christian albums he produced! A Christian southern rock feel to them. I had forgotten his name, lost his music and tried for years to track him down. I finally just a few weeks ago searched an old CCM data base and it all came back to me! I found it. listen to his songs (all are good though!) "Every man" / "Praise Him" and "I've been down that road too" - you won't be disappointed I promise. Blessings!

Outfits are unique too , today they would wear suits

And eg Alex A. is 40 yrs here. Looks young, yes.

I’ve still got that cassette tape!

I was lucky to see this line-up in 1984 in Gothenburg, Sweden, where the live LP was recorded. All of them are legendary. But most of all the music is. No-one just makes music like this anymore. It's just so sad. All the people in their 30/40's just have no idea. Let alone the millenials. I feel so sorry for them. They just don't have any idea.

The two of them established an unbeatable pocket!!! YEAH Alex wasn't too bad either.. He slipped in a few good beats. Snicker!!!!

Playing the Bass guitar more like a percussion

No I wasn`t there Sebastian

Abe played plenty of 5-string in his career as well.

@@j40bob1 and 6 strings. Lots of 5 and 6. Besides, it IS in the guitar family. That's why it's called a "Bass guitar".

I play a 5-string myself

Excuse me ...... uhhh buddy .... it's already been recorded ! LOL! You're only like 36 years late!! Just enjoy the part that matters ..... the music being made!!!! I can hear every wonderful note(s) coming from all the players, and the guitar work is superbbbbbbb!! Mic Shmic take a hiyk ~!~

@@newmoon54 Probably produced by The Bruce Dickinson.

Can't get enough percussion.

Sorry, but you're commenting something you obviously haven't got the faintest idea on what you're even commenting. Grow a pair of ears and study some of the music these guys recorded back then. There are eg 100's of Grammy tracks of Abe Laboriel of his own. For this stellar L.A. studio band this was just some whatever-gig in Germany in the 1980's. Try to admire the attitude they spread the real music in the real Rick Astley times - Rollin' much? 😉

@@imthezongz This is not about the players. The players are no doubt great. I have the Celebration CD from back then and went to a concert where they opened for Debbie Boone. (we were there to hear Koinonia) So yes I know what they sounded like then, both live and in the studio. I stand by the fact that the artistic expression is masked by the poor mix in this concert. I am surprised that players at this level would tolerate the poor mix. Quite possible they were forced to use the house engineer.
