Petra is retiring…

September 8, 2005 Adam Walker Cleaveland

I was introduced to Petra by my best friend Steve – it was a formative experience. In fact, I just saw Steve last week and he said he was still really into their Beat the System album (which was a classic! anyone agree?). Petra was actually the first live concert I ever saw, and I thank my dad for taking me, I mean, he actually took me to a long-haired, loud, Christian butt-rock concert – that’s pretty impressive. It was most definitely the highlight of my 6th grade year: without a question.

But now, they are retiring. Read the news here on their official site. In fact, I’m there right now, listening to songs from their newest studio album, Jekyll & Hyde, which, you know, is tempting to buy, because it would be their last album ever.

But, after listening to it online, I think I’m probably okay with the 10 Petra CDs that I have at home somewhere. Petra, thank you for everything that you did – the Beyond Belief tour was amazing, and it was fabulous to be able to see you live at the Puyallup Fair. But, maybe it IS time…you know, after 33 years…maybe…
