Petra at Farm Aid (1992)

Petra playing "Destiny" and "Creed" at Farm Aid in 1992. Original from http://www.petrafiles.com/video2.htm , I retouched the video and audio. In first song John's microphone was set too low by the sound techs, this can't be helped.

I saw this tour, Labor Day weekend 1992 in St. Louis. I was invited by a friend - and was a bit skeptical with the 'Christian Band' thing. I look back to that evening...the first song 'Destiny'....the night my life changed....and remember it like it was yesterday. Thank you, Petra for waking me up...and thank you to Mikosoft for posting this video!!

Johnny is wow men... i don´t know is somebody feel the HOLE in the last concerts... This era, is the MOST INCREDIBLE John, Ronny, Bob, Johnny and Mr Louie.

They rock the night, not with music, WITH MESSAGE OF LIFE.

That have to learn many artist from today...

I can´t imagine a band from now, playing a song like CREED in a place with people who don´t know God... that is AMAZING!

This is exactly why I think Petra stands out in Christian music. Because for them it was not music, it was a ministry, a way to speak the good news.

Thanks for posting this! I'm a huge Petra fan...have been most of my life. And Creed is perhaps my favorite song. But what is Louie doing with the high hat in the beginning of the song?! Man, it completely ruined the keyboard part for me. ;-/

[mikosoft]

I think he keeps the tempo because the keyboard part seems like it runs from a sampler (at least the fast runs).

I've played festivals and show's like this. The bands (unless you're headliners) don't get sound checks or not very good ones. What probably happened is they used "Destiny" as the soundcheck song which was a good choice for them to do that. When it was over, "Creed" came on and the sound guys had it dialed in. Awesome Petra was included in the gig. Had no idea.

great sound, great band, love it!

[HagbardCeline42]

I'm really glad that they played "Creed." It would've been very easy to play the least "Jesus-y" stuff in their catalog for an audience that might have unreceptive to their message.

@BatarBongayVasol They came out with a new CD called "Back to the Rock". The original singer and group are in it.
