Journey

On May 18, 1979, Journey delivered an electrifying performance of "Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'" during their appearance on 'The Midnight Special' at NRG Studios in Burbank, California. This live recording came shortly after the release of their album 'Infinity,' which debuted just a year earlier in 1978. The album marked a significant turning point for the band, as it was the first to feature lead vocalist Steve Perry, whose powerful voice brought a new dynamic to their sound. With hits like 'Lights' and 'Wheel in the Sky,' 'Infinity' propelled Journey into mainstream success. This performance not only showcased their growing popularity but also highlighted the band's evolution into one of the prominent rock acts of the late '70s. It’s fascinating how this period laid the foundation for even greater achievements in the years to come, setting the stage for their classic arena rock sound.
