Journey

In June 1975, Journey was on the rise, fresh off their self-titled debut album released just a year earlier. This live recording at the Schaefer Music Festival captures a pivotal moment for the band as they were experimenting with their sound, blending rock elements with progressive influences. One standout fact is that they were still shaping their identity during this period, moving from a more instrumental focus towards their later, more melodic rock style. The setlist features tracks like 'Mystery Mountain' and 'I'm Gonna Leave You,' showcasing not only their budding songwriting skills but also the raw energy of their early performances. This concert reflects a significant turning point as they began to garner attention, setting the stage for their future commercial success.
