The Petra Zone

Oh man! I was practically jumping up and down when I heard that they had added my all-time favorite Petra song, "I AM ON THE ROCK," and "Midnight Oil" to the set! I want to hear those songs live SO BAD! Can't wait for the Oceaside concert.

Thanks for the info on the Petra 33. I'm seriously considering getting one. Does it hold it's tune well?

Mark

Oh man! This is way too good to be true! Somebody pinch me! OOWWW!! Man, a live album AND DVD ...with former members! It don't get any better than this!

Mark

Yea, that definitely is tempting! I hope he brings some to the Oceanside, CA concert. I've been wanting to get an electric with a fixed bridge to compliment the floating Floyd Rose on my Ibanez. The "Petra 33" has a passive tremalo bridge, but the tuning should be more stable because of it. Got my e...

Too bad it's not the whole song. At least we get to hear how it sounds. I remember when Tim McGraw did that for the 9/11 benefit ("Country Freedom Concert").

Mark

Wow! I hope this show makes it on to TBN. Yea, a DVD would be cool.

Mark

That's great that Petra was available to fill in! Of course, they could've asked them ahead of time, but I won't complain.

Mark

That would rock! The live album we're waiting for AND one more praise album! Hope that actually happens.

I couldn't get the video to work, but I"ll try later. Thanks for the link to my review!

Mark

YES!! The astericks has been removed from Oceanside, CA! One more time, people!

Mark

Yes! I had no idea that there was even a chance that they would be back! That would rock!

Yea, I thought that was unusual too. I guess from that distance, his bleached hair looks gray.

Thought this was interesting. For those who don't know, Jim played keyboards for Petra during the "No Doubt" era. There's a picture of him at the BMI awards. It looks like he's aged a little.
