The Petra Zone

I would like to hear Mark Kelly's backing vocals with a reunion lineup.

Could be worse..

Greg Rupp
John Wilkinson III
David Lichens
Bill Glover
Greg Hough

I know there was a u tube of a Petra reunion of Bob, John,Johnny,Ronny and Louie. Does anyone who put that up? Too bad he or she did not have any pull

Happened to see the reunion show with the 1972 lineup a few years back and I have to disagree. I thought Bob, Bill, John DeGroff, and Greg Hough put on a heckuva show (you should have heard "Storm Comin'" and "Three Blind Mice"). So very transcendent. I love you daniel, but you're gonna get my Irish up.

If this was the lineup you saw, then I want what your on...

Kidding.... well Jonathan there is only one Robert M. Hartman© (accessories sold separately)

I have always believed that Petra would sound greater with two good live guitarists instead of one. I found proof with the night of joy concert at petrafiles.

Sue, what´s happened with the reunion anounced?
Are any videos of that?

I have asked and asked... and I never get an answer.

I will ask again!

Does not look like will see it! Sue has been asking for it for a while.
Sue, according to the Hills alive Website the Petra line up is John,Bob & Greg Hough. Is that correct? or do they mean Greg Bailey! Who will be on drums?

I thought Josh from petrarocksmyworld.com mentioned on a post that Petra sold 40K of Revival and 40-45k of J&H. He would have to clarify that of course. I may be mistaken, it was a few years ago.

Yes, I did get album sales information from Inpop in May 2005:

* Revival- 49890
* Jekyll & Hyde - 45324
* Jekyll & Hyde En Espanol - 434

The numbers would be higher now, five years later, but I have no idea how much higher.

I disagree. I really enjoyed the concerts those last years with Greg and Paul. I'd love to see them again in concert.

It's really sad that Jekyll & Hyde en Español did so badly. All due to lowsy marketing and distribution. How can you expect a Spanish album to sell well if it's hardly distributed in South America?

I agree John, Bob, Greg & Paul are great, You know what I am trying to say, alot of ppl didn't know Petra was around still when this lineup was touring.

Hills alive Website the Petra line up is John,Bob & Greg Hough. Is that correct?

No, not correct. It will be Greg Bailey. I've asked them to change that name on there. Not sure where they got that from!

The drummer is not determined yet. It MIGHT be Paul if he's not touring. If he IS unavailable, then we're looking at Dan Needham, who played out in Sioux Falls with the guys.

Sue, can we completely rule out Louie?

To answer your question see the interview John did for New Years Eve!
