Petra - Detroit, July 21, 1991

[@sugnodsugbo4012]

Im a 48 yrs old rock musician from the Philippines..been listening to Petra since High School..have listen to a lot of progressive rock stuffs but as i listen to Petra again now i know I'll never lost respect to this band..their level of musicality and showmanship is just a different level of excellence...thank you and God bless you Petra.

[@robertpatrick9128]

Bob Hartman is probably the most under-appreciated song writer/musicians of the 80's/early 90's regardless of music genre.His guitar riffs are second to none.

[@eskimofireman]

His solos are incredibly well written

[@juliehodes5454]

I know right

[@theshields360]

Amen!!! He is such a strong Christian and he is PRO-LIFE!!! He and the rest of the band fasted so that God would anoint them, God really DID anoint them!!! Petra is probably one of the BEST bands and Christian bands out there TO DATE!!!

[@Bluestreak2020]

Petra is the Greatest of all time.

[@ebnphlo]

I thoroughly agree but that’s just how Bob wanted it. He preferred to stay in the background as much as possible (although it’s hard to hide when you’re that good at playing, composing, writing, co-producing & ministry). Bob just wants to get his real rewards later.

# Petra was a milestone for the gospel music world, this band is still today a reference of Rock Style Gospel in the world shows how Christ uses objective tools to reach all sections of people is eternal Kingdom. This shows that while some religious criticize others work for young people and all come to the knowledge of the truth. In 1991, God had taken my beloved father, servant of God, however 12 years did not understand why this happened, I went into a very large revolt with everything and even with God, but my cousin Leandro Araújo Maia was an instrument of God to show me and present this band. My cousin knowing that I played guitar and enjoyed the Rock Style Gospel of quality, did not know that the Holy Spirit was using it right now! Then Petra, my focus became music, style and arrangement, there began to emerge from the uprising and began to play everything that was Petra! # Do not despise the way of how God uses everything for the salvation of men: All, all styles are to him and praise his name! Meet at the Lord all the glory and praise!

[@rojair11]

Sucks being 24 years old and never having the opportunity to see this lineup/era live

[@grossteilfahrer]

Reading the album sleeve lyrics, with the bible verses quoted under each song, as a 14 year old, and seeing the beyond belief tour in Stockholm Globe Arena had a big part of sealing me for life and afterlife in the holy spirit. These guys have done a tremendous work in God. Here we are 32 years later. I can still sing along each word and mean it.

Schlitt's voice was so much better here than when he was with Head East. It's held up really well to this day.

Truly inspirational worshipers I love Petra so much💖I heard my first Petra album when I was 14 that year I gave my life to Christ thier songs gave me so much confidence in my faith 💖I'd listen to them on the bus before every track and cross country race it pumped me up😄even during my races I'd hear "Adonai and Beyond Belief" in my head😊 I ran my best for Jesus👆💜 In 2007 that same year I was awarded Most Inspirational Fall Female athlete from my school district, All honor and glory to God👏 This race of faith is worth running for Him💜💖💜God bless y'all!

[@Christafarian59]

Now this is Classic Petra---Volx started them up the hill to success but this line up took them over the top.The so-called classic Petra is just an older version of Petra.

[@neiltabuco3138]

Thanks PETRA, thru rock music you delivered GOD's message.

[@bevgal]

The quality may not be the greatest but I still thoroughly enjoyed this!!! John Schlitt has a ridiculously wide range to his voice and Bob Hartman is killing it on that guitar! Louis Weaver, John Lawry and the bass player (can't remember his name at the moment) are all so full of amazing God given talent!! Beautiful ministry

[@マーク先生]

This bass player is Ronny Cates. Best bassist Petra had (no disrespect to the other guys)

[@bevgal]

@@マーク先生 agreed

[@MrElvio09]

A melhor banda de rock-gospel de todos os tempos ! Deus seja louvado !

[@Chris05161967]

I agree 10,000%!!!!!!! I saw them the year after(1987), John Schlitt took over on Lead Vocals. Then I saw them in 1988. I haven't been able to see them since then. But, I have every single CD, starting with John's first year(1986, 'Back To The Street'). Petra in all its' lineups, is a wondrous gift from God!!!!

[@torspomedia5861]

Man that setlist, wish I could've been here. Saw them (for the first time) in Helsinki back in 1994 during the Wake-Up Call World Tour. And again in 2001 and then the last time in 2004. In 2004 the band I was in was the opening act, huge honor.

[@WorthlessDeadEnd]

Saw them in Kaiserslautern, Germany on Saturday, February 23rd, 1991. It was an indoor concert. I was 14 at the time, and it was my first Petra concert. I'd been enjoying and learning their songs since the summer of 1990. The show was supposed to start at 8, but the doors didn't open until 8:20 pm. My youth group and I were directly underneath the lights. We were close enough to the stage to get several high fives from John Lawry and Ronny Cates. There was no opening act, and they had a woman translator. The concert in this video was almost identical to the one I'd gone to. They even opened up with the same first two songs, and wore pretty much the same clothes. "Hit You Where You Live" was awesome. Bob even told the same story about the man and his preacher. When they did "All Fired Up", some guy ran across the stage, and was chased by a security guard. It was a great show. Thank you so very much for uploading this. Although I was not at *this* particular concert, it was almost identical to what they did when I saw them. It is interesting and fascinating to "re-experience" it through (now) 40 year old eyes and ears.

[@andyf.3371]

the woman who translated that show was my mom. my dad was the lighting director for petra during this time. saw your comment last night and made me smile. glad you enjoyed the show!

This is such an awesome video. Thank you for posting. I didn't start out with Petra until the Unseen power days, and I was twelve at the time. But it's nice that there is a video like this to where I can watch the Dream Team back in their heyday.

[@elizabethcaripan9740]

woaw en ese año tenia 13 años y eran, son y seguirán siendo mi banda favorita. Pensar que por esa causa empece a estudiar inglés, para saber que decian las canciones que tanto me gustaban, Y ahora mi sobrino tiene la misma edad y le fascina PETRA, tanto como a mi.

I got to see them nearly every year from 86-92, My church used to go to Creation North East and Kingdombond just about every year so we got to see them sometimes twice a year plus I got to see them in Binghamton, NY for the On Fire Tour, and Unseen Tour (front row!) Love this line. this is Petra to Me. Got to see Classic Petra tour second row in Rochester too. Those were some thrilling nights. wish they would have brought this line up back for their 40th anniversary.

This is beautiful... I saw Petra on the "unseen power" tour when I was 12 or 13, and this video is the best thing to reliving that show. Thanks for uploading this timeless video!

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

Shlitt has such a mastery of pacing and voice control. He could have been a fantastic lead singer for any band, secular or otherwise, I"m glad he chose PETRA.

[@Vote4Trump2MAGA]

Ken Havens Ken,, I'm sorry but John didn't choose to sing for Petra, but God chose Him B4 the Foundation of the World,,, even unto Salvation... Also the LOST were NOT CHOSEN by God B4 the World Began.... Here's a little Bible study..... SAVED Titus 1:2In hope of Eternal Life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Matt. 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Ephesians 1:4>>>According as He (God) hath chosen us in Him (Jesus) before the foundation of the world,>Having PRE-destinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to HIMSELF,>HIS WILL!!!

[@SokemRokemRobot]

+Ken Havens You're so right. I saw Petra in concert once, and Schlitt doesn't take the wimpy way out when it comes to singing, either. He goes full out...

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

I think you are overstating your case friend :) The thought is appreciated nonetheless. He had a fine voice and I'm quite sure before PETRA he sang for other rock bands, not all of which were oriented lyrics that revolved around biblical teachings.

[@robinberner122]

he didn't chose Petra; Petra chose him, that's different.

[@formesumer8911]

He fronted a secular band called Head East before God called him to join Petra.

[@prw479]

I grew up listening to beyond belief and some other early 90's albums from them. So good. I was born in 83...do the math. I'm sad I never got to see them live. Now I have been running live sound for all sorts of bands for 20+ years and I would have loved to have them come through one of the P.A's I have set up!!! These guys are legitimately good live!!

[@sprayarm]

I have seen them so many times. Memphis, Nashville several times-indoors and outdoors, Birmingham several times. Jackson, MS. Here in my town at MIssissippi State University (Josh McDowell was there with Petra). And several others I can’t remember. I recall at one time at a concert when John Schlitt was wearing braces. Who else remembers that? :) So many great memories. Helped afterward with the ministry after the concert several times with people making decisions. Their concerts were not only entertaining but very convicting of the gospel and living right. The Holy Spirit was definitely moving.

This is definitely when Petra was at its peak. This was the best musician line up of the band. It went down hill from here. I think this is when they should of dissolved and left it a legacy.

[@Bradgilliswhammyman]

***** I'd say Greg Volz and Shlitt were definitely the best era of this band.

[@tyleraustin7759]

+Patrick Rushton - Many people came to Christ well beyond this line-up through Petra's ministry so I would say that made it worth them sticking around after this era. I would agree however that this line-up is Petra's best instrumentally but Grex X Volz and Mark Kelly provided the best vocal line-up. Ron Cates rocks on Bass and added a new dimension but was not in Mark Kelly's league vocally.

[@patrickrushton9960]

+tyler austin I would agree, because they continued to serve, they brought many to Christ. I just meant musically they were not as exciting. If they stuck to there sound and tried not to change to the current sound they would still be good. I mean if Journey and Styx can still be popular in there own right, I think Christian bands might do it.

Hi, I've been following the channel for some time now, I noticed that some videos have the automatic subtitles feature and others don't, this feature makes it easier for those who don't speak their language and we can put them in automatic subtitles mode and then automatic translation and accepting the language of the our country and KZbin's artificial intelligence does the magic :) so I would like to suggest that you could use this feature in all your videos. Add common and descriptive captions With subtitles and closed captions, you can share your videos with a wider audience, including viewers who are deaf or have hearing loss and users who speak another language. Learn more about editing and removing subtitles. Create common and descriptive captions Log in to KZbin Studio. In the left menu, select Subtitles. Click on the content you want to edit.

[@Rawk4Life]

Concerts just aren't this epic anymore. Back then, the headlining band would easily play anywhere between 90 minutes to 2 hours, regardless of how many bands played just before them the same night. Nowadays, if more than 1 band opens for the headliner, the primary band plays for about 75 minutes, and then leaves the stage. Pretty lame if you ask me.
