The Petra Zone

Man...I MISS the Petra I grew up with

Hearing Prayer really brought it all back.

I was a military brat and we moved a lot. from 88 to 93 John Schlitt's voice was one of my only constant companions.

I miss those days!

I like OLD Rez, when they still called themselves Resurrection Band. Favorite tune is Waves. Really cool guitar riff, blistering vocals.

Cool. I was there too. Do you live here in the Tricities? I thought the concert was good. I am a bigger fan of the Schlitt-era Petra as I started listening to them with On Fire! However, the set was great - a solid list of tunes. I really like some of the older stuff much better live. Less studio ov...

I tend to agree with you guys on this...and probably lean towards Brents POV. I do think there is a weird thing that seems to happen in Christian culture. Generally as people age their musical tastes in music don't stray too much. In other words people that grew up in the 70's or 80's still think th...

Kingsport is probably a little under 6 hours and this concert is a Sunday...FWIW

Indian Springs Baptist Church - Glenwood campus, Kingsport, TN is bringing classic Petra in on August 11th. You should be able to google the church for info (I am not affiliated). I think there is an event set up on facebook try the church name or Tiger Brooks. $10 at the door. Kingsport, TN 37660 -...

Like Tolstoy said, he could move left to right, even to the ditch. The ditch is not another road. We can't say some is no longer a Christian. God finishes his work. He will not talk much about it. But, from what he has said, he saw things as I do, that the commerce of Jesus is a funky thing. Jesus ...

I had know about Petra for only a couple of years at that point. I think I had seen them once or twice, they were getting ready to do the Beyond Belief Tour. I had On Fire! and maybe that was it, I can't remeber if I had gotten BB before or right after TRCO. But I was at Cornerstone '90. What an exp...

Boys and girls.

My mom is about John's age. I have NEVER seen a color photo of her as a kid.

Do the math.

oh come on...easy one...

#8 is John

That was great!


Still.....

The only thing I could think about was...THAT was 1986!?!?! Who brought the HUGE camera to the concert!

I mean no cell phone cameras or poocket size cam corders...that had to be one of the first portable cameras and they were HUGE!

In fact, when I book John in to a church I have no idea about their theology either. Should I be expected to 'check out' every pastor or church? Should John? Sue!?!! Yes! I am the worship leader at my church and I have a band that does dates from time to time. And you bet that anyone who comes into...

This week I had my first real cup of coffee. No, sir...no you didn't. Case in point ----> I just discovered that if I add plenty of Coffee Mate to it it's pretty dang good. :P I too am a coffee addict. However, I am a MAN and drink mine BLACK! Black coffee is good, I have had bad coffee as well, th...

Now all I have left to hear are Petra (1974) and Come and Join Us...

I love Come and Join Us...that might be my favorite f the older stuff.

I read that the other day. Talk about a songwriter. She will be missed.
