The Petra Zone

Song that I was really suprised didn't make the Farewell setlist...

JUST REACH OUT.

Oh trust me I'll NEVER forget the night I was searching google and found petrafiles.com! I remember waking up my brother at about 3 a.m. saying that I had found early footage of John Schlitt live with Petra. I think he just uttered "Beyond Belief days?" I said "YESSS!!" lol! But it was very exciting...

Oops - I meant to say I saw them in MN in 2007!!

I agree there is something very special to a II Guys Show. I'm generally a guy that enjoys a whole crankin' band - but a few songs into their show I forgot that the rest of the band wasnt there. I saw a show in MN in 2009 and the Guys were ON FIRE - no pun intented :lol: but honestly - they spark of...

Yes, this is absolutley great! John sounds fantastic! And I wonder how long its been since hes sang that entire song? Especially the bridge with all the high bits... How ever long its been you sure couldn't tell it! Sounds Great! Thanks for the video Sue! Can't wait to see more from that show! -Step...

This is great! A great compliment to John and I agree completely. John is an amazing singer with a great unmistakable tone and style - not to mention an amazing range. From his days with Head East to his latest solo album "The Grafting" John has kept his voice in excellent shape. On top of producing...

I recorded it to my DVR

John sounded fantastic on both songs. You could tell he was especially inspired during 'Only Men' - powerful song and John performs it with such passion and boldness.

ha ha no I hadnt seen it but it sounds like a good album cover!!

Oh - yeah I love the videos I've seen of GMA so far - especially of John with the band and also him sitting with a guy playin an acoustic - I love hearing John sing acoustic!

I don't know how he does it but John is truely the most gifted and talented singer I have ever heard - ESPECIALLY when you consider how great his voice has remained into his older years. Lots of rockers throats are shredded before they are 40.. I think I've heard you say it best Sue.. like fine wine...

Sue, Trodland - you guys both did a great job keeping us posted. I was on the site reading everynight that you updated it. I love all the pictures and videos that got put up of John - it seriously looks like he is having the most fun he has had in a long time. Bet you had a ball there huh, Sue? So c...

I should have known it was number 8... I'm pretty sure John wore that same outfit at a few Head East shows

eww yikes - yeah I didnt even consider the fact that the picture doesnt really look "50s" ... mmmm However, I have seen some high quality color photos from the late 50s.. Heres a fan pic of Buddy Holly from 1959.. taken after a show about a week before his plane crashed. To keep this Petra related.....

Mmmmm.. I think I'm gonna go with #5. and I'm only basing that off of:

1. Blonde-ish hair

2. The guitar (John "sort of" plays)

3. The two brothers... I'm pretty sure John has two..

Thats all I got...

Finally answer Regis

Eww yeah sanding isnt that fun if you have a bunch to do.. Unless you've got those big rounded electric sanders..THOSE help a bunch! I've been working construction with my Dad and getting to try my hand at patching and sanding and all that. Sue, you really do live in the wrong State for hating Winte...

That was so fun - I liked lookin at your pics too Brent - I Love the pic of Sue taking our picture! Its was fun getting to seeing a bunch of the Petheads again - and gre...
