The Petra Zone

What was the first Petra song you ever heard?

"Enter In". Since No Doubt was the first Petra CD I ever listened to, it only makes sense.

I remember listening to my very first Petra song on the radio when I was just 16 years of age...and I will never forget that day cause I think I even tried to record it on tape off the radio. It was: Grave Robber. Ever since then, me and my cousin went off and bought "Unseen Power" along with "Wake up Call" and the list goes on...

Carolina

i heard midnight oil for first time.

It was "Beat The System."

Mine was CREED while watching the Beyond Belief video in my youth group...

My first song I remember was The Coloring Song. My brother introduced me to Petra with this song and I've been hooked ever since. Unfortunately, since Greg X. Volz left, he hasn't kept up with the band anymore. Too bad! The dude's getting to old to be cool, I guess!!

"Beyond Belife" made me a petra fan eversince

I grew up on Petra, and thought John Schlitt was black (lol), and I particularly remember as 5-6 yeard old dancing to I Love the Lord and PP1. I don't actually know what was first, but thats the first I remember...I think.

I went to a concert in late 1980 in Port Arthur, Tx in the High School Gym of Thomas Jefferson H.S. I was pulled there by my older brother. I didn't want to go, but he didn't want to go alone so my mom made me go. I remember them playing for a long time. The first song they played was "Without You I would Surely Die" off of Come & Join Us. They Also played some songs off of Never Say Die, but it had not been released yet. They played "The Coloring Song" and also "Angel of Light". That Guitar riff at the beginning of Angel of Light was the greatest thing I have ever heard.

Another Point about Never Say Die was when it came out in 1981, you had to ask for it at our local Christian store, they would not put it out on the shelves

For me it was More Power To Ya. I was part of a Christian rock band in college (in early 1984), and our new bass player picked up my guitar and started playing the acoustic guitar melody for More Power To Ya. I liked it so much he let me borrow 2 Petra albums: More Power To Ya and Not of this World. I loved those two albums, but especially MPTY.

The first Petra song I ever heard was "Sight Unseen", the video version, on Z Music Television. I was hooked. It used to really irk me that where I lived (Louisville) that they only showed Z Music for several hours on the weekend. I know Petra was on there a lot that I missed.
I would love to get my hands on some of the concert footage they broadcast back then.

first song was "This Means War"
still maybe my fave

I don't even know; I was a toddler when my parents had three Petra tapes. Maybe "This Means War" could have been the first song I remember hearing.
