The Petra Zone

This was posted on Ronny Cates facebook... I will pay anything to see this if this turns out to be the dream team...

I guess that ends that one, If Oprah says no it aint going to happen

Sounds like it may be Classic Petra sorry to get everyones hopes up.

maybe someone needs to start a "But if.." topic

What I know is Classic Petra + Petra (Farewell lineup)
Celebrating 40 years of the band!

It is Classic and Farewell lineup.

Guess chances of a Dream Team reunion are just not going to happen.

As much as I hate to say it, looks like Oprah was right.

All I can say is that if this event really comes off, I sure hope that they do some pro shot video and release it to the fans. It's too bad that something like this has to happen in a foreign land, but I guess the US just ain't the love for Petra that they do.

So Classic Petra and Farewell Petra? That makes very little sense. If John Schlitt is involved, then even if they can't get Cates on board (though I expect the could), they'd have Schlitt, Hartman, Weaver, Lawry and Kelly. Just swap lead singers!

What they really need to do is get the Classic and Dream lineup for a one night special gig, with an hours "best of" set from each, and release a double CD/DVD of the lot. Sure, it won't be cheap - but probably cheaper than a studio album. It would help make up for the complete lack of official Dream Team live recordings!

I think if there ever was a time for a dream team lineup, this could be the chance...

I will charter a plane to get us there (bulk discount), that would be the go.

Seriously can you imagine it? Classic Petra hits the stage... half way through, John Schlitt and Ronny Cates walk out... and wave, then they go in to Underneath the blood as their opener..

Underneath the blood as an opener? Would never have thought of that, but woah that would be awesome! *off to listen to it now*

it may not happen because louie has to practice all the jekyll hyde songs

That's a good point, but I wouldn't care if they skipped JAH as much as I love the album.
