Great Classic Petra Concert in NH - Aug 4th

[trid]

I saw Classic Petra at SoulFest in Gilford, NH last night… it was awesome! Was surprised to see so many thousands of people at SoulFest. I didn’t know NH area had so many Christians!

The last time I saw Petra was over 25 years ago with the same 5 guys on the Beat the System tour. Greg was having the time of his life, making jokes and getting the crowd involved. You can tell he loves what he does. Bob was terrific, though he had a microphone in front of him, he didn’t use it a single time. The TBN concert you could see him singing back up, so not sure what was going on there. Louie had drum trouble right before the Judas Kiss song, so Greg had to stall… which was pretty cool! I’ve heard he does a drum solo in Judas Kiss? After the “guitar war” between Bob and John, Greg said “skip to the bridge”… I wonder if this was when his solo was supposed to be? Was disappointed about that!

All in all, very pleased and excited these guys are back together. Can’t wait for Volume 2 and then their album of new material!

Thanks for the pics! I'm glad it was a great day. I can't wait to see CP when they come a closer to where I live.

Yeah I'm praying they can get down to the Dallas area; they have a great following here with a lot of support from the local radio station and promoters, they just need to get everyone on the same page.

I think there are a lot of people with the same wish, Ex. Now, if only the promoters will get on the same page.

That was a GREAT show...

Stood at Bob Hartman's feet for the whole hour and 20 minutes. Mr. Volz was kind enough to sign my Come and Join Us CD (I got Mr. Hartman's on it a few years ago on the Jekyll & Hyde tour)...

Shout out to Soulfest staff for a awesome time. ROCK ON.

They used to have a great following in Houston too, but it's been a long time since they did a big show in these parts so I don't know what kind of support they have these days. I do know that no one I come in contact with keeps up with them anymore...
