The Petra Zone

You got it! First thought in my head when I heard the riff: "Whoah, Heaven's on Fire."

Wendy Kaiser of Resurrection Band rocks.

So far, this is the only album with at least one vote for each song on the album.

So hard to choose between so many great tunes from my favourite Petra album. I give the edge to:

YOU ARE MY ROCK

...with Kenaniah close second.

The title track is my favourite--a great introduction to John Schlitt!

Yep. Slightly different melody, but the same structure and timing.

I think I saw it at the Steinbach show, but the table was very crowded and I had a long drive home after the show.

Penner, eh? The name Penner is like the name Smith in the USA. But, I wonder if he is related to my bass player and road manager friend, John Penner. Penner's family owns Penner Trucking up there. Maybe I will make a call and find out. Yeah, I know about 100 Penners and am related to some, but I'm ...

Actuely it was Canada he couldn't get into. I watched a video of a part of the concert and have to say they did very well on a stand in drummer. I know it was Canada; just making a point about why the border has yet to be sealed here in Texas. Argentinians need a visa to travel to Canada. He didn't...

Bob was as fantastic as ever. I can't speak to John's vocals as he was pretty tough to hear. Probably because we were too close to the stage. I'm pretty sure though that many of the songs were in a lower key. John sounded fantastic on Monday night in Steinbach! Great show, especially since their dr...

I like John Schlitt's vocals but not the other guy so much. Sounds like they're singing "Praise SHE the Lord" however.

So pumped! Got my tickets for the Winnipeg show with my brother!

I think it's futile to try and determine sound quality whilst listening through a computer. Get a CD player (you can still buy them from SONY) and a basic hi-fi setup and you're way better off sonically. And, FWIW, surround sound is overrated. Stereo is the way to go for music.

I don't really like WUC but it doesn't sound cheap or second rate in the slightest. I listen to the early albums and it sounds kinda weak. I recently purchased some Rez from the same time (early 80's) and was surprised to hear what, IMO, sounded like a much better produced album. If you say so. I d...
