No AutoTune, no studio tricks, just raw talent and musical excellence.

this is a live show in 1978. why do you think they'd have studio trickery or pitch-correction software that hadn't been invented yet on stage at a Californian megachurch full of hippies?

@renegadeoftruth2891 Жыл бұрын

Lyrical excellence as well. Pure Gospel rather than banal lyrics of hedonism and lust falsely labeled as love.

I saw Rob Frazier play a solo set with a backing track in one of the small tent stages at Spirit West Coast in '97 or '98. I remember the entire audience groaning when he told the story of him deciding to go solo when it was obvious Petra wasn't going anywhere. That's a choice to regret. Anyway, Rob has a good voice.

@kvernon1 5 жыл бұрын

...and they had concerts like this every Saturday night at that church? Do these people have *any idea* how fortunate they were? In 1978, I never even heard of Petra, Phil Keaggy, DeGarmo & Key, Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill ... All I heard to that point was "O Happy Day" by the Edwin Hawkins singers, and "Amazing Grace" by Judy Collins!

I know right. All we had was Amy Grant 'Never Alone' from 1980 & an old Imperials LP. Then Michael W Smith came out with a couple a great albums - then we discovered Petra - 'Never Say Die' & 'More Power to Ya' and so so many more great Spirit filled bands. Not to forget the So Cal original 'Sweet Comfort Band' - which lacked Petra's legs - only an 11 year run 73-84, not 33 years, but those 11 years = 7 or 8 stellar Albums ! I still have a collection of 500+. Gospel Rock Jazz Pop Albums.... God used this music mightily in our lives...my 5 kids are fans of much of my 'old music' - Petra is their Favorite... PS the "Classic Petra - Back to the Rock - Album & LIVE Concert VIDEO from 2011 is GOLDEN. Greg X Volz & Bob H & band hadn't lost ANY of their ability.

The people at this are stunned to be hearing real all out rock n roll in the church!! I don't think they know how to react to it or if it's even ok to listening to it. lol. Back in 78 it was a big deal to have electric guitars or electric anything let alone drums. But God is bigger than the boxes people so often try to put Him in. I'm so glad he is too because we people so often get our flesh in the way. Even today many are wanting to put music in categories of what is Gods kind of music or not.

Incredible that you have a video even this far back!! Petra was a serious rock group right from the start. I know this line up isn't the absolute original as you have stated but the fantastic song writing and off the charts guitar playing of Bob was a big chuck of the foundation right from the start and just kept going through all the years. I don't know how you came to have this but thank you so very much for the blessing. Is there any footage that you know of that might exist of more? Great!!
