As a teen, young adult, I was listening to Larry Norman, Keith Green, Mylon Lefever,,,,. Then Came Petra. First album I heard was "Never Say Die" From that moment I was hooked on Petra. That band, those songs, got me thru some tough days. Off at shool, all alone, listening to Petra saved me. Well, actually Jesus saved me, you get what I'm saying. Can't ever say enough about how good that music still is today. Timeless and classic.
no one will ever be like Petra. The greatest Christian rock band. Thank God for Petra.
Such wonderfull memories! I saw Petra live 5 times. Awesome! Annointed! Talented!
I saw them when they first started in the late 70's when they first started out.
Pray that God will send replacement even after Petra gone to keep on conquering the dark nature of this world.
I agree! The other band was Degarmo & Key!
I agree. Amen!!
That Louie Weaver talk teared me up.. Man, to tear up after 30 some years show his dedication to the call that God had on him
Well i am from little Costa Rica and yes .. i grew up listening to Petra and by the grace of God i can say .. i am on the Rock by the grace of God. I went to the only concert they did here and i loved it... God bless you guys and keep on using you as he has done so far...
I HAVE BEEN A PETRA FAN SINCE THE EARLY 80's. THANK JESUS FOR THEIR TALENT AND MINISTRY
I love Petra and they got me through some hard times.
I went to my first Petra concert at a rescue ministry in Greenville SC in 1973, which was close to the same time I saw Larry Norman, another early pioneer of Christian Rock. From then on, I went to any concerts by Petra I could go to! The music drives home the gospel and my faith got real. I kept going, and now I’m 61. See you guys in heaven. I am thankful beyond words for the witness of Petra!
Was not religious and stuff but in the 80s, i came across some Petra tapes in the mid 80s and they sounded really great. I have listened to them for hours. My favourite was "this means war". That was a great album. Was so nice to find this video.
Petra are the AC/DC of Aussie pub rock.
Petra are fantastic, superb song writers.
18:20: backwards spoken message. That was my idea, my voice. I went into the vocal booth, recorded it onto two-track, and JDBrown reversed the tape and ran it though an audio gizmo.
-JSLICK.
Thank you for that by the way!
More Power To Ya was the album that made me the Patra fan I am today.
Me too.
+Jonny Boy fantastic album.
I was 5 years old and my oldest brother had a friend who let him borrow that tape. I taught myself to play guitar to that record and made a habit of always sitting down with their records and going through all the parts until I had them all figured out. Id go through all the guitar stuff and then Id go through and learn all the Slick/Lawry parts. I think my fav synth solos are from the More Power to Ya record although Lawry is one of my favorite keyboard players.
Same for me!👍
Petra paved the way for contemporary Christian music.
Two of the members are now in Jay Sekulo' band.
Actually Resurrection Band did
Not of this World was introduction to Petra and loved them ever since. I can listen to it over and over and never get tired of singing along. The second formation was good but Petra with Greg was just so fantastic. This is now 9 years old and I’m really hoping to hear something new again sometime.
Love their music!!! My pastor told me that the devil music but I still play and sing it ❤
Thanks for the gifts you've shared and for being that light in the darkness!
From my first album (Cassette!) Beat The System, as a young teen, I was able to understand the gospel through your music! Later, hearing the classic albums, I was able to understand even more, the gift PETRA was and is to this world! Bless you from Down Under! A granny leading her Poppets to know Jesus! :)
Many many memories of seeing Petra in concert from the early 1980's to their Farewell Tour Concert at the Petra Church in Lancaster, PA. Thank you Petra! Thank you!
Petra songs has been a part of my Christian life since teenage. It helps me grow up and stand up for the Lord. Thank you Petra band for your ministry, I know Im just one of the millions that you inspired. More power to yah!
Thank the Lord for Petra!! I remember being recently Saved young man.I heard The Coloring Song on radio. I went to a local Bible Book store they had a demo section where we could listen to albums .After The Coloring song ended Cameleon came on I as clerk thought this was Christian album he introduced me to Petra here I am 40 years later still serving the Lord Thank you Petra.
Love this band. Thank the Lord for their hearts for God!
Greg Fawcett Did you Know ...Lead singer in Petra John Schlitt was once the lead singer of the rock non christian group Head East His drug problem got him kicked out .He was going to kill himself when his wife took him to see her pastor .He went to just say he went and then was going to kill himself .But he got saved .. a Love story www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0085/0085_01.asp
ME TOO
I love Petra's music. They were a great hard rock band. Made some great albums. Wish theyd reform. Would love to see Petra and Rez band would reform and tour. That would be a great tour. No human leads anyone to Jesus. God is the only one through Christ who leads a person to the Christ. We are only instruments of God's will. Praise Jesus.
I'm not even a Christian, but I really like their early work. 1975-1980 Petra is musically great.
God use them bring the gospel , God bless you man
Brilliantly anointed. So talented. I saw them in a big concert in the 80s. Always listened to them on local college radio. My group of friends were really into Petra - surfers, motorcycle guys, artists, etc.
I once went to a secular concert and someone came up to me and a friend in line and told us we were going to hell for going to the concert. I said that the person didn’t know a thing about me and they needed to spend more time reading their bible. I also told them that IF I wasn’t already a Christian I wouldn’t want to be one now 😂. And i turned around and kept going lol.
People in churches thought Petra was radical, but they were relatively lightweight, even by the standards of the day. They were sub-Kansas in their intensity. Wait until they got a load of Resurrection Band! You want to see some radicals! The church I attended made a bold move letting that band in. I'll never forget Rez setting up their Marshall amps in the choir loft!
Love the group. I have to say I did get saved at one of those events that exposed backward masking in 1983 and was grateful to God for the preacher Billy Mayo
Greg has got some voice!!
The Opening song in Nashville, You could hear the LORD speak, as 5 doves of the Holy Ghost came down upon these 5 wonderful men, Saying, "These are my Beloved Rocker Sons, whom I'm Well Pleased." Greg, You saved a lot of lives as the Front man for Petra. All of you were chosen for the purpose of Petra. Classic Petra in 85 was when I first heard Petra. I was a touring musician myself, and went all the wrong ways. The Lord Brought me back to Him. One evening watching CZcams, it hit me to search Petra and Classic Petra in Nashville popped up, and I have been listening everyday since. The Performance was Perfection. You could tell the Holy Spirit was ALL OVER IT. Praise God. Thank you guys. Volz? I've been around so many Front men in my years, But Greg, you have a special Anointing . Love yall my Brothers in Christ.
que bello es ver una de mis bandas favoritas PETRA y doy gracias al padre por que aun estan con vida PETRA GOD BLESS
The pioneer of all Contemporary Christian Music. They are legends. Praise God
Would love to see a documentary of the John Schlitt era as well.
I agree! That 1970s Jesus Movement WAS a Holy Spirit enriched REVIVAL!!! My older sister and I were RADICALLY SAVED in 1980!!! The Lord used Petra’s godly lyrics as well as 2nd Chapter of Acts songs to steady my newly saved heart. But Keith Green’s music was used like a solid rock foundation that deeply influenced me to NEVER compromise!😂😂😂! Powerful days! We also enjoyed Tom Howard’s music and one of BJ Thomas’s albums, oh, and Fireworks, which Louie Weaver just mentioned.
Petra, thanks for always coming to Canada back then. It made a HUGE difference for Eternity in my life.
Yes Lord, I got saved/rescued at the tail end of the Jesus Movement when music, sermons, and Believers had one goal: Tell the world about the Savior Jesus Christ! I listened to Petra and was always blessed by the lyrics and musical style. Good to see Greg X. Volz, Bob Hartman, and the other members - hair and all, sharing the history of Petra. Thanks for sharing the documentary!
Listened on my sister's big 80s tape deck. My fav song then , and still today " just reach out". Still today at 45 with all my pain, touches my heart
You know I'd love to see another studio album from those guys. There not too old to to still Rock For the Rock. Jesus Christ
Agreed!
they are the bomb..i love them..praise God for this band!!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless you, Petra
Um grande ministério para a glória de Deus
For those who may wonder why they primarily put out rock music, listen to Bob in the beginning and keep in mind "Petra" means rock.That is it. No other motive other than to praise and glorify God.
Wow! I am a big fan of these guys! I love all their classic albums, more than the last ones. Real master peaces over there. God bless them.
God gave rock and roll through you. 😊
Still Great in November 2021
I learned English translating Petra, I really did!. I am from Mexico, loved this band but I little understood the lyrics. Back those days I would use an English-Spanish dictionary to translate. So happy when Petra Alabanza came out. ;) one day my mom trashed my cassettes. Hahhah I bought them again next year, I still have like 25 cassettes.. hahaha
That's really cool!
my favorite Christian band of all time.....GraveRobber...!!!!!
God gave us Rock N Roll, then he gave us Petra - so many blessings!
I really wish John Slick would have participated in this. I was a young piano/keyboard player in high school during those Petra years and I really admired and tried to copy his keyboard chops!
Belated reply: you could have done a lot better than trying to emulate my limited ability. If you're still playing, study the classics.
@@jslick4589 OMG thanks for the reply John. Don't worry I did discover the classics when I got a little older--but I think we all maintain a little bit of a soft spot for the musicians we followed as teenagers. :)
Been a fan for over 42 years it’s one of the Christian bands that saved my life when I re dedicated my life to the Lord Jesus the true living king keep rocking for the Lord
I was deeply touched by this video, I have followed Petra since 1978 with their "God Gave Rock and Roll" album. I also love John Schlitt with the band so I nave been blessed by their music. I have made several videos using their music witch is so powerful.
was a baby Christian when Keith Green Died and After I was able to see you in Eureka Ca and Medford Oregon a couple times ,I thank and it was nice to see a group of people come forward to give their lives to Christ
I grew up in a very conservative denomination where Petra was considered devil music. I found Petra through a friend and my Dad saw how it was ministering to me as a young person. He even started listening to them and found the anointing that the Lord placed on their songs. Love Petra and so thankful for the work that the Lord did through their ministry :D
Legends!
What a great documentary guys, I have been a fan since 1980 and I always knew the Holy Spirit had his hand upon you all but I really appreciate hearing you all tell how much Gods Spirit played the lead in your ministry. I too have wanted to play in a group that was totally sold out for Him. The words to your songs are so inspiring and make me want to praise God . After listening to some of your albums all day I feel as if I am supercharged and ready to spread Gods love. May God continue to keep you and bless you all for the rest of your lives or till His return.
Peace,
This Means War, Unseen Power and Beyond Belief were my all time favorite albums!!!!
Petra sounds better than ever....unbelievable, just magnificent !! All these years later and they're even better !
back when Christian music.....was Christian. and when Christian bands actually sang about God and Jesus . when Christian bands were proud to call themselves "Christian bands" . i love it !!!!!!!
classic petra music was the most anointed Christian music...
Had dinner with these guys back in 1978. So good to see they are still genuine and on point!
So now i know they are two, classic Petra and the Petra
I love the era of the first few albums with Greg such a classic sound! Bob really smoked on those releases.
Give me Petra...Russ Taff...and Bryan Duncan....on my playlist, and...I'm set !!!
"pioneers you bet"you wouldn't have music,choir,classical ,rap or metal like you do now if weren't for these guys!1
I grew up in a very turbulent time, n listenning to your music helped me as I dealt with d issues of life that were pressuring me to compromise. your music was instrumental in leading me to repentance n back to Jesus. thank U , you @.
God the Lord bless you Petra, thanks for your music and the beautiful messages of Gods love!
My favorite band! Russ Taff my favorite soloist!!
I love you Petra guys... Petra Praise - The Rock cries out been album which deeply touched my heart... Since then these worship and praise songs by Petra been driving me in many moments of my prayer and worship time with Jesus.. God bless you, Petra guys for your ministry
in my youth Petra and Keith Green music got me through the angst of childhood and remain so close to my heart
I've listened to many "" christian "" rock songs including Petra. All of them, except Petra, I have felt a dark cold spirit when I'm listening to them. In fact with Petra it's the opposite. Petra is pretty much, except for maybe one or two exceptions, the only Christians rock group I listen to
Bob Hartman is a very under appreciated rock guitarist and song writer......as good as any rock song writer in the 80's no matter what the genre.
Great documentary! Really enjoyed watching this.
Thank you God for Petra!!! Hallelujah
Louie Weaver is the epitome of authentic.
Thanks for posting..
I LOVE PETRA!!!
That was such a blessing to watch. Petra means so much to me. I heard More Power to ya album back in 1986, and i wasnt a Christian at the time and I would put on the LP after listening to all kinds of Satanic rock. It was like a light shining on me. Judas Kiss really captured me but I had no idea what the lyrics were about. A year later I was born again and I realised that song had sewn a seed.... the message what are you looking for the devil for when you oughta be looking for the Lord... i believe God spoke to me through the music of Petra and it changed my life forever. God bless.
Love Petra
Ressurrection Band forever
I remember the " backwards masking" thing, that was a hot mess. Judas' Kiss was their answer to it.
Favorite classic Petra song Adonai
Awesome Doc on a very talented and committed group of musicians who, even if you can't dig their convictions and motivations, are very passionate about this elaborate, long-standing collaboration!
TO CHUCK ROSS; What has happened in music is occultic teaching and "doctrines of demons". E.W. Kenyon the occultic teacher first passed it onto Kenneth Hagin. And today most music that has the label christian is earthly and very luke warm.
Petra nailed it with the coloring song followed by Chameleon....hehe..never a more brilliant well placed scene change in a Christian album in my opinion
I mean it gave people a stereotype shattering ballad that was so well done..just so much depth in the production that lent itself to the message so that it just gripped people. And then bam... that guitar line with an intriguing rhythm movement into a song that relates to the general condition of the heart of man. The very thing that primarily prevents us from coming to realize the good news that is laying in front of us if we are just looking as depicted in the coloring song. Social Idolatry. Chameleon. Blending with surroundings. Seeking to please people instead of God.
ps great video..really brought tears to my eyes hearing the testimonies. I love you guys.
The early beginnings of the Jesus Music Movment was a 100% holy Ghost Revival, yes it was , Amen. But I pray that Classic Petra come to my home town London,Ontario, Canada...soon.
I am a huge Petra fan. After years of being in the ministry I can now look back in retrospect and give my own honest overview of the fruit of Christian Rock. I used to go tothe Jesus Fests in the 80's and the "Night of Joy" weeks in Florida. Loved Mylon Lefevre and Broken Heart, Whitecross, Whiteheart, DeGarmo & Key, etc., etc. How has that music impacted our generation today? Is the Church spiritually stronger for it?
Yes and no.
Love Love Petra....Always will love this Christian Band,filled with the holy spirit.Love to see you again
undoubtablt they are among the most significant bands to ever surface the earth- no less.
02/14/2021 Thank You Rock On Patriots
The Coloring Song❤️
What are you looking for the devil for when you ought to be looking for the lord.
Cresci ouvindo Petra👏👏👏👏
I've always loved these guys!
Come to San Antonio Texas!!! 2024
God bless you guys. It is indeed a great encouragement for believers that you have reunited after a long time!!
Love Petra!!! To hear a gospel message!! Ray Comfort has FREE movies and interviews on CZcams!!
Petra, Resurrection Band, Daniel Band, Stryper...in other words, bands that were worthy of playing the Cornerstone Festival. That was the golden age of Christian music. Sadly I doubt we will ever see it again, Nashville has decided what we get to hear now.
I love Petra!! God bless them!
Rez Band was a great example of heavy music for the lost! I know a few people who owned Rez Band because they still captured a heavy sound that a normal metal head could get into ha ha.
MORE POWER TO YA.......,the Holy Spirit is speaking through this group of people. You may be only one person........however, faith is being encouraged with the agreement in your soul.
I love them!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are the Church.We are the Church
Great dvd. Like Documentary very much. Has liked Petra since 2010.
PETRA The greatest of all Christian Rock Bands. Wishes from India.
Awesome DVD guys. I love Classic Petra
38:55 Mark felt that he'd given away his birthright when he left the band. I know that feeling and still feel it some 27 years later. But I left for different reasons. I have, however, been fortunate (blessed maybe) to have done a lot of different things since then. I sometimes think that those opportunities might have been my second chance.
-JSLICK
We love your contributions John. Your great playing, and you also wrote some great songs! Thanks so much.
@@gracegeek4678 Thanks for your kind words. I watched again where Mark talked about giving away his birthright, and I know exactly what he meant. On the other hand, he said he knew that he was where he was supposed to be.
@@jslick4589"not by sight" is indeed a masterpiece!!
Loved this band sincerely I was 12yrs old anyone know what happened to Mark Kelly? 👍👍👍✨
