The Petra Zone

D&K were awesome live. They really sounded good and knew how to jam. I'm curious Brent, did you ever get to see D&K live?

I always thought Bob's greatest strength was his songwriting. Musically, on that level he reigns supreme in my opinion.

Thanks guys! Am I right in thinking a lesser or uncompressed song will sound more "open" than a compressed one? Have either of you guys heard D&K's album "Streetlight"? I always thought that had a great open and live sound. Would that be an example of less compression? To me, Back To The Rock has a ...

so with all this talk about compression, what exactly is compression? I can imagine what it means, but I don't know for sure and could use a layman's explanation

That's what I was wondering. Why not the songs that are on the radio?

What is up with that? a whole year away now? I'm afraid interest may wane...it'll have been almost three years by then after BTTR came out. Something must have happened to change their plans so drastically. Last we heard, recording was supposed to be almost complete by now. Oh well, late is better t...

Good point Brent. One thing that is NOT dated is the production...the guitars, keys and drums sound great to me. My hope is that Classic Petra will go with a producer that will get a sound similar to The Greater Cause. I know it probably wouldn't rock as much as TGC, but a more natural, more open so...

I haven't yet, but I did download the album artwork...it looks great! It's all rock-n-roll except for the pic on the back that to me is John's "Tony Bennett" pic. By that I mean the pose and style, not that he actually looks like Tony Bennett

I sent a message to the admin of the Facebook page and within 5 minutes had the email with the link to the new downloads, so they must be honoring those purchases made orginally through the old website back when they first released the BTTR Live downloads.

Any word on those of us who spent $10 last year for the digital download of BTTR live?

I was wondering the same thing Exe.

Still a good point though Matt.

Thanks for the link! Why, though, if I don't follow the link and simply sign into Facebook and search Classic Petra, this page doesn't show up...I could not find it any other way than following your link. Just curious...

awesome! Where on Facebook was this posted? I went to the offical Classic Petra page and didn't see it...just a posting of Bema Seat live.

I think (though not completely sure) that Exec meant the price for the promoter to bring the band in, not necessarily the cost of the tickets.
