interesting old video

Bob is only 28 y/o! He looks older, and looks super tall.

That trusty Les Paul that he rescued from a pawn shop sound good, same guitar that played the riff for Judas Kiss.

Anybody here saw the pictures that shows yet another Petra drummer, but Greg on bass, from about 1979?

Such a fantastic and timeless performance. Really tight band, full of life. Great find!

Felipe, are you referring to this photo?



This is from exactly a year later, September 1979.

Keys: Steve Schneider
Drums: Jym Dingler

And before Louie joined in 1982, they had at least one other drummer (Jeff Bogs) who joined them during Never Say Die and even made it to some official band photographs.

Strange looking toms (drums)...

My parents had just met before this show happened.

Great performance all around. Very cool that this has been preserved in such good shape.

yes that's exactly the picture I was talking about. thanks for letting us know who the other members in the picture where.

it should have been quite tough for bob to try to keep petra live all those personnel changes. basically for this picture he was alone looking for all new band members. Bob is trooper. greg also hung up in there through the tough times even steppin in to play bass. I wonder why he is not playing that much anymore any instruments.

I was 9 when this performance happened. I guess that makes me old or something. Bob sure looks a lot better with real hair.

Don't feel bad; when this happened, I was out cruisin' the drag looking for cute boys with hot cars.
