Pioneering rockers Petra bow out with live CD and DVD.
CHRISTIAN ROCK pioneers Petra recorded their final CD and DVD before
retirement at a live concert in Franklin, Tennessee. Cut at the W Club
on 4th October, the concert included guest appearances by former band
members Greg X Volz and John Lawry. Both CD and DVD will be released
by Inpop Records (EMI CMG in the UK). ![]()


Sadly, my heart felt broken when I heard Mr John Lawry's un-excellent contribution to this live project. Also, but, unlike with Mr Lawry, understandably I noticed too that John's voice was not at it's best and sounded tired and hurt - you can understand that a singer who's given what's John's given vocally over the past 20 years in Petra will get a tired or damaged voice. Bob was, as usual, absolutely fantastic and you can just hear that the man put the hours of practice to give the excellence that he's come to be renowned for.
