The Petra Zone

NO, this is certainly not a cover of Judas Kiss, but when I got the CD, I did joke with my wife that this possibly proves Metallica listens to Petra!?

This is just another one of these "all rock music is evil" sites. Believe it or not, these people are actually trying to do a good thing. However, in the end, all they end up doing is giving Christians and Christianity a bad name. And their accusations on Petra just prove that most of time they do n...

Totally the Battle Hymn of the Republic. I can just imagine John singing it.

I would really love to see John's solo tour again and hope he comes to Ontario Canada too. If Tim Gaines is in his band, that would be great. I hope he tours with a live band and not a track machine. The new album sounds great and I would love to hear the Shake and UFS songs played live again. I am ...

My favourite five Third Day songs are:

Praise Song (Third Day)
Gomer's Theme (C#5)
Agnus Dei/Holy (Offerings)
Thief (Third Day)
Show Me Your Glory (Come Together)

I don't know if it is one of my favourite tours or not, but I too would love to hear some live audio from the Back to the Street tour. It would be great to hear live versions of You Are I Am, Thankful Heart, Alter Ego, King's Ransom, Fools Gold, and especially one of my all time favourite Petra song...

This tour was my second Petra concert. I saw them in London Ontario I think the night after they played Peterbourough. They sold out the Jr A ice hockey arena. Lisa Bevill and DMC opened for them and were pretty forgettable. I was still pretty new to Petra at this point. I only knew Beyond Belief an...

I have no problems with a Petra reunion. I still wonder if it is too early. I have only two requests. One is to find some way for us all to enjoy the concert (webcast?). And two, please play a different set list. I'm sorry, but I would like to hear something different than the Farewell set list. Tha...

I know that this is rehashing some old questions but I would like to have an update from those in the know. I know John is busy all summer touring with Bob but I was wondering if his third solo album is still a go? What is it called? When is the projected release date? Also, there was a forum a whil...

I just wanted to report that I was there last night in Oro Ontario at Freedomfest. My wife and I came up from Guelph just for the Friday evening. When we got there, we expected a lot more people but the event was great. I arrived at the Worship tent at about 9:40 pm (Two Guys was scheduled for 10:00...

Sue D., in response to your previous posting, I must say hosting and promoting a show has crossed my mind in the past. I am just not sure if there would be enough interest. And that is NOT a knock against John and Bob. In 2003, Toronto had to cancel a Delerious concert due to poor ticket sales. Skil...

I'm not sure if you responded to my post on the topic I started, or if you just did it because it was next on your list, but thank you for answering my request and posting the 2002 Night of Joy show. I really appreciate the work you do.

In posting my original message, I never once meant for this to become a seeing them live vs on computer thing. I have the privilege of seeing Petra live 11 times, having to drive many miles to do so a lot of the time. And they wowed me every time. There is nothing compared to seeing them live, or se...

I am located in Guelph and have been a Petra fan since 1992. My work afternoon has been cleared for the Friday August 17, so my wife and I will be going (she might watch Phil Keaggy instead though). The concert(s) will take place at a family camp in Oro Ontario at Freedomfest, a mini christian rock ...

I hope to see 2 Guys From Petra when they come to Oro Ontario in mid August. I am just wondering what, besides their Vertical Expressions Cd, they have for merchandise. Have they done up new tour shirts? What other merch will they have? I would like to know to satisfy my curiosity and to know how mu...
