Of all the bands you've seen live(and are STILL touring), what would be the perfect Christian concert for you?(If any promoters are reading this, please take some of these!)

Mine would be:
Red opening the show, Skillet being the mid-card, and Stryper as the closer.

Mine's pretty close. I'll say Kutless, then Skillet, then Stryper!

Holy Soldier, Guardian (Fire & Love, Miracle Mile), Stryper (with Tim) and Petra (Dream Team) closing. Maybe have Tamplin play some songs between each band.

my fav would be this lineup.

1. Fireflight opening
2. Stryper
3. Petra-closing playing a full 2.5 hrs with Bob, John, Johnny, Ronny, & Paul.

I raised an eyebrow to that as well. I don't really know much about Paul and I think Louie's drumming ability is overrated (or at the very least under utilized by the band), but if you want the classic line-up, I don't know how you go without the whole line-up.

I could see why he would choose Paul. Paul is an incredible drummer, and though he was playing parts that were already laid down for him, at least he's drumming and wasn't off driving buses like Louie was and is doing today.

Paul is a much better live drummer then Louie, and his attitude was great unlike Louie's was the last few years he was in the band.

Uh, Louie got fired by the band and had to find something to do to support his family. Are you really knocking him for that?

Forget who is the better drummer, or all the things that went wrong in the past. I would pick Louie for the pure nostalgia of it. He was petra's drummer for over twenty years. Aside from Bob he was the longest standing member. Paul is an amazing drummer, but he is simply not the permanent staple on the face of petra's history that Louie is, and further more, I think the worst thing that ever happened in Petra's long history is when Louie got fired. I will never fully forgive John and his manager for doing that. Not that I don't love John and all his inumerable contributions to Petra, but I think it was wrong. The greatest reunion line up would be, of course:Bob, John, Johnny, Ronny and Louie. I would pay a great price and travel many many miles to see that.

Man you seem to hold something against John and you don't even know the full story behind the situation. Also you have to remember that Bob gave John his full blessing in this.

The choice to fire Louie was ultimately John's, so he is the most culpable for the firing happening.

I don't believe in sacred cows, but wow.

I'd be first in line for Daniel Amos, Poor Old Lu and Starflyer 59. They might even make sense together, but DA is a pretty wild card.
