Journey

On April 28, 1978, Journey performed 'Wheel in the Sky' on The Midnight Special, a defining moment for them as they were riding the waves of their album 'Infinity,' which had been released just a year prior. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, introducing the soaring vocals of Steve Perry that would soon become their signature sound. 'Infinity' featured hits that catapulted them into the mainstream, and this performance showcased not just their growing popularity, but also their ability to engage a live audience passionately. Interestingly, 'Wheel in the Sky' itself had been co-written by Perry and was driven by its catchy melody and anthemic lyrics that resonated with fans. During this period, Journey was not just evolving; they were on the brink of becoming one of the biggest rock bands of the late '70s and '80s.
