I was fortunate to see this tour as my first Journey show,for they were soon to "Escape" on a softer more radio friendly Journey.This is the soundtrack to a period of time when they made their best,and some of the overall best,music of the era.All the energy/synergy of these five guys was at full tilt forward.It covers the hits("Any Way You Want It","Lovin',Touchin',Squeezin'")and rock("Where Were You" and especially "La Do Da") span of their careers up to this point and also shows a little jazz influence(though not TOO much) on "Walks Like A Lady".A great glimpse into what was a super live band before they resigned themselves to mellowing out and fading away and a top live album by a band that really moved the audiences lucky enough to see them in their prime.
A must have album for all Journey fans.Steve Perry's voice is soaring at it's normal best.Neal Schon will amaze you with some cord structure no other axeman can even think of, let alone try.Steve Smith's drum solo, show's any educated music fan why he is in the top 5 players ever.Also, most likely 'The Best" all-round.Gregg Rolie is sensational on the keyboards and makes us all wonder even how much better they could have been, if he'd stayed.And,lasy,but nowhere least, Ross Valory shows how important a bass player is.The band was is tight musically, and entertaining to the extreme,even without video.Put it on,turn it up,close your eye's and let these masters float you back to the late 1970's, when the world still was good and ROCK'N' ROLL was even better. 5 STARS !!!!!!
Great cd and a great band, have always been a fan of Journey!! Have been looking for a cd with all my favorite Journey songs, well at least some of them. Would highly recommend this cd to anyone who likes Journey as much as I do. Will be back to buy more!
