Are You Ready For A great Day Of Christian Music on CCM Classic Radio! TUNE IN!!!
Friends,
This Is From Mark Hollingsworth On Nov. 2, 1974, Petra rocked the faces off 800 students packed into Wheaton College’s Pierce Chapel at a show that I promoted. Their first album had only been released 6 months before, so they played a lot of new material plus most that initial record. This was taken from a rare live recording of the band in that era.
“Why Don’t You Look Into Jesus” is a cover of Larry Norman’s classic from his “Only Visiting This Planet” album released just two years prior. Petra opened for Larry on numerous occasions, and even backed him occasionally at some concerts, causing Larry to proclaim that Petra was the best Christian rock band in the land during the 70s. Their version here was the encore of a long show, which includes an extended harmonized and dueling Lynyrd Skynyrd-style guitar jam tagged on the end by Bob Hartman and Greg Hough, empowered by the muscular drumming of Bill Glover. They even gave John DeGroff the nod for an impromptu bass solo that propels another guitar salvo to close things out. The staid conservative Christian college crowd had never experienced anything quite like it before…but were wildly appreciative. https://youtu.be/CMNpnW6a9As
