The Petra Zone

It feels like the Zone has really picked up the slack. I used to read those sites every day, but now anything that happens that is newsworthy (or not! ha!) is linked to and discussed here. Not as much need for the middleman, as it were. The loss of those sites is one of the reasons I decided to jum...

I was just looking over a promo pic of the Classic Petra band, which is the BTS lineup... and remembering how many times I've wished Petra would get together again since 2006 as an official band... never thought it would be the Petra from 1984. Even if they don't put out any *new* full-length projec...

Lexington, your enthusiasm is contagious and refreshing. You may also want to check out John Schlitt's website (johnwschlitt.com) and read up on his new project he's working on. It's going to be an all-out rocker and hopefully will be out by the holidays, though I don't know that for sure. We've be...

I will be there for sure. I wasn't part of the Zone when PC1 happened. Couldn't make Sheboygan, WI for PC2... but Indianapolis I can do. I hope all my fellow Pethead buddies can make it!

I would be more worried about Bob being able to play the same riffs and solos. . Search "Judas' Kiss Live" (the one with John singing) and compare Bob's solo to the original one. I think the new version is just as good or better, so I wouldn't worry about Bob. :P Mr. Magic Fingers can still beat th...

I think it's funny how many Petra fans also like Journey. Maybe we should hand out Petra Zone cards at Journey shows to see how many Journey fans like Petra? Yeah, Journey is one of my all-time favorite secular bands. I've always thought Petra, Jouney, REO, Styx and Foreigner resembled each other m...

Just checked out ClassicPetra.com. I feel like I'm arriving at the party so late I almost missed it. Now I get it. This Petra lineup is on tour. Wow, wow, wow! I'm getting 100% behind this effort. The Lord must have been watching out for me and brought me back to the Zone so I could find out about t...

Lexington, you'll want to check out their website at ClassicPetra.com. The Back to the Rock CD, like Preacherman said, consists of 10 songs from Never Say Die through Beat The System plus two new ones. The ten, however, are all newly recorded versions so it's definitely something you'd want to chec...

Yes, all that, and it should also be noted that the latest we've heard on Classic Petra is that they in negotiations for signing with a record company. The Back to the Rock CD and DVD were done independently. Classic Petra is Bob Hartman, Greg X Volz, Mark Kelly, John Lawry and Louie Weaver. I'm as...

David, hi, I remember you! Welcome back. I don't have much to add to what has been said. You might want to read through some of the threads here that catch your interest, that might be the best way to help you catch up as far as what Petra has been doing. The Zone hasn't really changed since the la...

I think within the next couple of yrs you will see some type of tour on a medium to large scale with Greg & John and other principle members of the band playing together on the same stage. I believe this is the only way that Petra successfully can sustain itself in today's market. This could happen...

Are you aware of the Classic Petra project and the Back To The Rock CD and DVD? It's all been in the past year, and there are a bunch of concert vids from the past year on Youtube to watch. I wasn't aware of those. I'll have to check out the Classic Petra project and Back to the Rock CD and... DVD?...

Hello all. I know it's been a while since I posted here. Short explanation: It's a long story. But I have a question to ask, now that I have more of a chance to maintain some semblance to a presence here... how many people here are of the opinion that we have not heard the last from Petra? I'm askin...

It has been a while since I have post here but I always keep you in prayers my brothers and sisters in Petra :), I will restart my posting here again. It's been since 2006 since I've posted here, so I know what you mean (like, since 2006!). Life took over. Started my own business and got too busy f...

Maybe they are the original LPs. The early ones are very hard to find. I think I paid $50 for "Petra".
