The Petra Zone

Salvation Army stores and thrift shops are something, aren't they?! I found my CD copy of John Lawry's solo album, Media Alert, in one. I always keep my eyes open, I never know when I'm going to find the last thing I need for my collection!

Yes! Even with all the P&W music out there, this is still my favorite one to listen to at home, when I want to have my own praise & worship. Really feel close to God when I worship to this song. I know the feeling! We used to play that song when we used to have house meetings, and it really brought...

Definitely "I Exalt Thee". Most anointed and powerful version I've ever heard.

Thanks sue d. Well, you don't have to grow up in the 70s to love that kind of music. I grew up in the 90s/00s, but I listen to a LOT of 70s bands like blue oyster cult, led zeppelin and now head east! But i guess I'm a little weird :) Not really! I grew up around the same time, and to this day my f...

Thanks for posting that picture, now I'm hungry for pancakes...

What about For Annie?

I remember seeing a video of Bob talking about one time when the stage did collapse when Petra was playing, fortunately the stage was only a foot high so no one was hurt, but the stuff went everywhere. I can't remember what year it was, think it might have been 97 or 87, but my computer won't let me...

Me too CD's all the way. Same here!

I remember seeing that floating around somewhere, I think it was on A Guide to Petra? Could be wrong though, not sure if it's still up there.

Oh, and Peter Furler from the Newsboys also claims Petra as one of the bands earliest influences. As well as them opening for Petra on a number of occasions, he also stated Petra was probably one of their biggest influences.

Blair Lane, a worship artist here in Newfoundland, lists Petra as one of his musical influences.

Just bumping this up, in case any of you have decided you have a wild desire to visit The Rock. 8) We're also thrilled to announce that Christian recording artist Blair Lane will be opening for John. You can visit his website here www.blairstephenlane.com Blair is a worship leader and he is excited ...

Petheads can do anything!! (With the Lord's help!)

This may be a shot in the dark, but does anyone know what style to use when playing Godpleaser? I've tried several rock and alternate voicings, but they all sound wrong! Either they're too fast, or too slow, or they're off in some way. I know the approximate beat, around 90-94 beats, but no style so...
