Journey

In April 1978, Journey was riding high on the success of their fourth studio album, 'Infinity,' which had been released just a year earlier. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, as it featured the soaring vocals of Steve Perry, who had joined the band to help redefine their sound. The single 'Lights' from 'Infinity' was gaining traction, and the band was beginning to establish itself as a powerhouse in the rock genre. Their performance on 'The Midnight Special' not only showcased their dynamic stage presence but also highlighted how they were becoming a fixture in the music scene. It's fascinating to consider that just a few years earlier, Journey was struggling to find their identity, but by this recording, they were on the precipice of mainstream success that would soon follow.
