The Night Beat started in 1984 as a radio show, and this Summer we are going back in time to share the music videos from when the show was on the air and during the time that the show and concept was in hibernation. So roughly we are talking 1984-2010.
We start with the 77's. One of the founders of Christian Alternative music along with The Choir. They got their moment in the limelight stolen from them by their label which also had rights to an obscure group from Ireland called U2. From their 1984 Exit release All Fall Down. This is Ba Ba Ba
Next up we go to Jesus Music Era band (at least the later portions) DeGarmo and Key. This is the music video for 666, the most famous and controversial Christian Video of All Time (banned by MTV).
Finally we check out the ceremony of the Altar Boys. From the 1986 release Gut Level Music, this is the video for You Are Loved.
That does it for this special collection. We will try to hunt up more classic videos as the Summer heats up. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.

Part two drove me to Amazon for more than just links. I have to confess, I had 
no idea who Jon Gibson is, and While I know who Cindy Morgan is, I think I need a refresher. I know I am going to stir up a hornets nest, and it's just the same kind of reaction I have to C&W, but Sandi Patty? Seriously? Now when I'm in a moody mood I can stand the 77's. Some would say they are a tad depressing, again I'll get a refresher if I can find it. Let's just say I'm more familiar with A Golden Field of Radioactive Crows, and Drowning With The Land In Sight.
