The First Petra show of the tour...
Posted: Fri Apr 22, 2011 6:35 am
Was amazing. They performed at Easterfest in Toowoomba, Australia.
The set list in rough order:
Bema Seat
Angel of Light
Clean
Second Wind
More Power To Ya
Grave Robber
Back To The Rock
All Over Me
Adonai
God Pleaser
It Is Finished
Encore:Judas Kiss
Stand up/Without Him We Can Do Nothing
They played tight as if they had been together for the last 26 years and not their first concert
in that time. Greg's vocals were still great, especially on All Over Me. It was a massive crowd and they totally rocked. They sounded musically the same as last time in 2005 when they played here but just with Greg on vocals.
At the autograph signing I quized Bob about the progress of a follow up album. Thats still the plan but not sure when that will happen. Also I had them sign my entire collection of Petra cd's, with each member signing the albums he appeared on. I had 19 Petra cd sleeves plus the II Guys cd sleeve. Anyway when the II Guys sleeve got to Louie I think he had no idea what is was. He goes "2 Guys from Petra, what's this" with a puzzled look on his face. John Lawry had to explain what it was. It was quite amusing.
I also suggested to Bob that my Ultimate Petra concert Would be for Greg to half a set on vocals and for John to do half a set. Mark thought it was a pretty cool idea. So you never know. He's also a really cool guy to talk to. Anyway what a great day. I'll post some photos in the next few days.
