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.
