I grew up with these guys they helped me through a lot of hard times when I was a kid in the early 1980s my dad was a traveling evangelist and they were strict Pentecostals they weren't too keen on Christian rock definitely not secular rock that was absolutely not allowed Christian rock was almost as restricted but I talked my parents into buying me the Petra tapes and we would travel in our fifth wheel trailer from revival to Revival town to town state to state and I listen to Petra and one played the drums and whatever respective church we were at at the time good memories great memories I finally saw them in 1984 for the first time at Six Flags in Arlington Texas Morgan cryar opened up for them was amazing I was mesmerised I can't believe Greg Volz still has that same voice he hasn't lost it

First concert I ever attended was Petra in 1984 and never looked back...now 34 years later, I run into Greg at a local grocery store, find out he lives in the neighborhood where my parents live, and his wife works where my sister and mom visit every month. So crazy to run into one of your childhood idols right where you live. Thank you for posting this, as it brings back so many great memories!!!

Me and some friends ushered and took tickets at a Not of This World concert in '83-'84 in MN. I have listened and loved their music for so many years. I just got together with those friends, last week, at a baseball game, and we reminisced about those Petra memories. I put together a cd of my favorite Petra songs and listen to it today. Thanks for this great "Blinded Eyes" video! As always, their songs had a great sound and message.

I've listened to this album thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of times since discovering Petra around 1984, but I've never seen this video. Glad to get some good shots of Louie's kit in this time frame - I'd kinda worked out that Pied Piper sounds like it has some 5 tom fills at the end. (I know it's Keith Edwards on the album, but still - it's helpful to get a good look at his kit for the Live performance.)

Yes Word Records put it on their very 1st music video reel that was sent to literally thousands of Christian Bookstores, TV stations, etc. And Petra used it for any station or anyone who needed video of the band. I'm glad my original Standard Def is not on KZbin. The quality of this one is so much better in HD. I had so many more tools to use today to do that than I did in 1984. Thanks !

Interesting seeing Rob on keys. John slick left after the Not Of This World tour ended and John Lawry joined right when Beat The System was almost finished. I didn't see rob work on Beat The System album so I guess he was just a tour guy before John lawry came around. And even though Bob is playing his Yamaha guitar synthesizer, this most likely isn't from the System tour, probably just something Inbetween Not Of This World and System.

I honestly didn't know there was a video for this amazing song from this wonderful band that I've loved since I was 11. This instantly became one i if my favorite song from Not of this World. You did an amazing job on this video. I love the way you did this video and that you listened to the Father. I've shared it with my brother and some other Christian friends who actually never heard of Petra, Resurrection band, etc. Some got saved in the late 80's. Can't believe that my buddy wasn't introduced to how awesome Christian rock and metal was back in t the 80's. Love Pat. God Bless brothers. ❤

Thanks brother, I appreciate the kind words! I did it in 1984 and when I updated it to HD a few years ago I was glad Petra still believed and supported the message of the video break I did! Some Christian bands don't stand by their strong convictions of the 80's today and that saddens me because God's standards never change!
