The Petra Zone

Hey guys... I'm new around here. I've been a Petra fan for only a couple years, but they've become my favorite rock band of all time. I have all their albums with John Schlitt except Back To The Street, God Fixation, and Double Take, plus I have More Power To Ya... and I love them.

In any case, that's me...

I was lucky enough to get into the taping of the farewell CD in Franklin yesterday, and it rocked. (For those of you who were also there, I was the tall guy in the Pittsburgh Steelers jersey ) I got a lot of short video clips (with horrible sound quality, I might add) from the concert, and I'm hoping I can get some of them up on my website tomorrow.

Also, I have a question for anyone else who was there. I left at the end of the main show (after "He Came He Saw He Conquered") because I had to drive 3 hours back home and didn't want to be out all night. What songs did they re-do after that?

They started over from "Dance" and played the whole thing again, except they skipped the acoustic ballad medley and did not play "He Came, He Saw, He Conquered" at the end again. So it was basically the entire show a second time. And the crowd was AT LEAST as rowdy the second time as the first!

AMEN to that!!

I stood right behind you, RDY!

I was astounded at the stamina John and Bob had. That was A LOT of playing and singing..but I swear John could have kept going! How does his voice HANDLE IT?

Our pleasure to have you here at the zone, Hard-To-Spell-Name. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

What does rdywlngndabl stand for?

Boy, I wish I coulda coulda been at the concert, but I'm really lookin' bookin' forward to the CD / DVD(?) release!!

you know it's funny...you see Petra all these years...and you get a 2 hour show, maybe 2 1/2, but Tuesday night....the Petheads got their dream concert...4 HOURS OF PETRA.....LIVE!! PLUS Surprises! I have to say...I am satisfied!

Bummer... I guess that means there will be very little of me in the crowd scenes on the DVD

My screen name is not that difficult if you know what you're looking for. It's "Ready Willing & Able", which is one of my favorite Petra songs.

No "?" needed after "DVD," there. The Inpop folks seemed pretty convinced that there would be a DVD in the Spring (in fact, it was announced from the stage). If there was ever any doubt, barring some tragic accident with lost tape or film or something, there WILL be a DVD.
