Journey

On June 9, 1979, Journey performed a memorable live show at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey, during their Evolution Tour. This concert came right after the release of their hit album 'Infinity,' which had dropped the previous year and marked the beginning of their superstar trajectory. This era ignited Journey's mainstream popularity, largely thanks to the emergence of lead vocalist Steve Perry, whose voice became synonymous with the band's anthemic rock sound. Notably, this live recording showcases the band at a pivotal moment when they were refining their identity, blending rock with sleek melodies, and elevating their live performances. Fans at the time must have been thrilled to see the chemistry on stage, as the band was really hitting their stride. It’s fascinating how this concert encapsulated their dynamic energy and artistry right before they became a household name.
