Man, was that a treat!
Petra really rocked, and it was way rockier than the God Fixation album.
That is probably because they were playing some older songs, including the
transformed ADONAI sang by Greg back in '84. Well, other than the concert
being better than what I thought (including that act of Lonnie Chapin climbing
up the side of the stage and jumping off the 10 ft. speaker!), I got to meet
them! I even bought this huge 1 by 2 ft. poster with a blown up picture of
the album cover GOD FIXATION, and they all signed it! I even got to talk
to them! I was one of the first Petra fans to find out that what the name
of the new album was going to be called... Oh, and BEAT THIS, PETRA ROCK'S
MY WORLD !!! :^) Petra's bass Lonnie Chapin PERSONALLY told me when the new
album DOUBLE TAKE was coming out, which is October 15!!! My friend said he
was going to set up a tent in front of the store and sleep out the night
before the Christian Book and Supply opens and as soon as they open he would
by the first one! Hehe. Well, I am definitely going to buy it as soon as
it comes out! Well, in other news, and not so good (unless you think differently
then me); Petra's second guitar and keyboard player KEVIN BRANDOW is leaving
Petra this year. John Schlitt told us this during the concert. That is too
bad, but at least the good part about it is that John Schlitt said Kevin
said God was leading him in a different direction, and you can never argue
with God, so... there you have it. I can't wait to get the new album! I will
update this page if I get any more news on the new album! See ya later! -Jay
Sorry no pictures! I
was only 15 at the time and didn't have any money to buy a camera, nor did
I even think of it! D'oh! :-P
