The Petra Zone

Yeah, I saw that. I'm wondering now if maybe it's not just Bob at the beginning giving the intro to the song. Cuz the into really sounds like Bob talking and that's probably what had me thinking Bob sang it.

I've been giving this a lot of thought and I've decided what I really like to see happen. If Bob and John really feel it's time to retire the Petra name for whatever reasons, I can respect that and do my best to believe they are making a well thought out and prayed out decision. Beyond that, I don't...

I do remember Bob saying one time that if there was ever an official history of Petra to be written, he would be the one to write it. Perhaps he'll consider doing that now.

It would be nice if they'd record even just a couple of them and then if they do a live album, put 'em on there as a bonus.

I think that's an excellent idea. If Star Trek fans can do it, why not Petra fans?

I'm glad this was done. I have a feeling if it had waited for something to go up on the official site, we may have been waiting for a long time.

For those of you who have seen Greg perform live in the years since he left Petra, can you tell me if Greg does any of the old Petra songs at his shows or does he just do his own solo stuff?

Yes. Thanks John for clearing that up. By the way, if you have heard this bootleg version, do you know if perhaps it was Bob who intoduces the song? Because that really sounds like him and is probably what mostly had me thinking he was singing it.

You know all this talk about don't blame anyone. Don't blame the record companies and don't blame radio because it was just time for Petra to retire and it's nobody's fault. Well, that seems a bit short sighted to me because the fans who are upset about these things are just taking their cues from t...

I think we should just turn our attention to what John is gonna do. The end of Petra is most likely going to be a new beginning for John. I'm sure with a little encouragement from the Petheads he'll be happy to keep going and who knows, John's new music may just sound quite a bit like Petra.

I got the clip again and it still sounds like Bob to me, but I could be wrong.

I'm pretty sure it was Bob. Unless Greg and Bob sound an awful lot alike.

MJ-
The comments you made about Petra in your blog were perfect. They were exactly the kind of tribute this band deserves. I can only hope the notion spreads throughout CCM in this their final year.

I'm pretty sure that would be Bob.

Once this is all said and done, Bob and the guys from GHF could get together once and a while for a jam like they did last year? You know, do an occasional classic Petra show, since so many of us were unable to go to the first one they did.
