The Petra Zone

From @Jym Dingler, former drummer of Petra in the 70s, posted this clip, along with another of Angel of Light, on the Jesus Music Group. This is as rare and as powerful as it gets! Here are his notes: Petra in Atlanta, 3 May 1982: The Medley . This clip was salvaged from an ancient VHS backup from 3...

Personally, I have a great fondness for Greg Bailey. He's one of "us": a guy that was a huge fan of Petra, got the opportunity of a lifetime, and has taken it and ran with it. I think his contributions to modern Petra are indispensable. Yes, I agree. My comment was not intended as a sleight. Never ...

Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart is missing from your lists.

John's done a bunch of Greg's songs. If you want to see John doing Greg's songs, this is one of John's first concerts with Petra. Not amazing sound quality but pretty good for a fan recording and a good idea of how it would sound:

Jym says that he has it, just buried in his offsite collection. He said that these were the best ones and that he had digitized them for that reason a while back. But, eventually he says he's going to do the rest, including another Phoenix complete show, if I understand him correctly. He said most o...
