May 18 saw the come back of John Schlitt here in Bangalore not with Petra this time but with a new band called Stone Java. It was a big success in terms of weather and audience response.
However, the late start (30 mins after the schedule time) was a disappointment coupled with no excuse or apology which would have been very appropriate.
Also, the audience was not given any chance to interact with John and the band which was a big disappointment. I believe it would have been very good if the management planned for a short time for the fans to meet the band.
Nevertheless, the concert went very well with the crowd singing along with the band on most of the songs.
I personally thought a John Schlitt-Stone Java combination was superb! I didn’t know the band was that cool. They played even the Petra songs with almost perfect performance as what the real Petra line-up would have. Cheers to the band!
Now, coming to John…it was just amazing how John, at his age which is close to 60, could still sing those hard rock high pitch Petra songs as well as his songs. Truly a rocker for Jesus Christ. I must say the songs especially from the Unfit for Swine album were sung very well. But as a Petra fan, I could hear many of the Bob Hartman guitar trademarks missing. After all Bob’s the man for Petra songs!
Anyway, it is good to know John’s still upto going full-throttle back on stage.
