The Petra Zone

trodLAN, Thank you for the information ! I am trying to arrange the flights, arriving in Stavanger and going out form Oslo (I´d prefer to return from Sandefyord but is more expensive) , then I intend to go from Kragero to Oslo after the show by car directly for the airport !!! The flight departes at...

Oh, now I see that Leeland will play in the same festival that Petra in July 09. I like some songs of the band !!!

Someone from Norway at the Zone ? I will try to visit Norway in Summer !!! Look: June 30 - Journey - Haugesund (It´s not with Steve Augeri, but It´s Journey) July 08 - TOTO - Bergen (with legendary vocals of Joseph Williams and Steve Porcaro in keyboards) July 09 - Classic Petra - Kragero And the la...

In my opinionm Pete Orta in Petra was a tragedy ! Legendary rock bands need to have very good guitarrists !!!

In my opinion, Second Wind is the better sample till now. Of course, Re-records of Petra Classic could not be very different in style of what they did in 70´s and 80´s, but I realized more changes in the arrangements !!! But samples are samples, let´s wait !!! In my opinion, John Lawry is the highli...

Sue,

Do not ask me twice !!!

Of course I will send my last travel check of U$ 20,00 for you as soon as I can go at Mail !!!

If I sell my house (I hope sell it soon, pray for me), I will give a special offer to John´s Project !!!

In my opinion Classic Petra is the open door for another Reunion - Petra Dream Team with John Schlitt, Bob Hartman, John Lawry, Ronny Cates and Louie Weaver.

I am very excited about Classic Petra ... Really, I almost cry when I saw the Classic Petra picture !!!! It´s awasome !!!

God Fixation in my opinion, is the worse Petra album of all times !!! I like very much Elefante´s Production. I can´t believe they have produced that album !!! But I need to agree that even been the worse Petra album in my opinion, it´s better than the albums of today (If I have to die for Someone a...

1996 - Beat the System in my house. I was 12 y/o. A friend of mine lend it for my brother.

Funny, a american album, at least took 6 months to be released in Brazil after be released in US !!!

I never had heard this band before, but when I listened to this song, mainly in the beginning of that, I remembered John.

But when the music begins to grow up and asked extra vocals power, the singer did not show the force of John's voice !!!

Unfortunately, the sound in Goiania was not very good. They have problem 3 or 4 times during the show.

I was there ! Very interesting This time I did not have to travel to US to see Petra like in 1998 and 2003. Now they have performed in my city, Goiânia, 3 miles from my house !!! Even i miss much the keyboards, the show was very nice !!! John and Bob are great !!! Sometimes I think how is powerful t...

separateunion,

You are all right about the not obligation of keyboards in rock bands !!! What I would like to say is that in that lineup, in my opinion the 2 members that were responsables for the harmony (chords) were very week for a rock band like Petra !!!

GREAT !!!

I hope this tour gets in South America soon !!! If they won't come, I need to plan a trip to other continent !

Very happy too, because Fareweel version of Petra will be in my city (Goiania) next month !!!! Very nice to see the guys again !!!
