In early 2010, Hartman and former Petra members agreed to reunite to record an album in the fall, with a subsequent world tour. The lineup featured Hartman on guitars, Greg X. Volz on vocals, Mark Kelly on bass, Louie Weaver on drums and John Lawry on keyboards. Although that specific lineup recorded only one studio album together – "Beat the System" in 1985 – Hartman, Volz, Kelly and Weaver were the heart of Petra's initial wave of success, recording "More Power to Ya", "Not of This World" and "Beat the System" together before Volz's departure in 1986. Additionally, Weaver toured with the band in support of "Never Say Die", Petra's first significant tour. Lawry, meanwhile, was Petra's longest-tenured keyboardist, joining the band on the "Not of This World" tour in 1984 and leaving 10 years later, at the end of Petra's second wave of success. Along with recording "Beat the System", this iteration of Petra also was filmed for "Captured in Time and Space", the first of the band's two live albums.
