Journey
Journey Performs at Diamond Head Crater Festival Featuring Robert Fleischman
Venue: Diamond Head State Monument
Location: Honolulu, Hawaii, United States
Date: July 4, 1977
In July 1977, Journey was on the brink of transformation, having just released their sophomore album, 'Look into the Future' in 1976, which included tracks showcasing their evolving sound. This recording at the Diamond Head Crater Festival features lead singer Robert Fleischman, a key figure during this period, as he brought a new dynamic to the band’s performances. It's fascinating to note that Fleischman's tenure was short-lived, as he only recorded one album with the band before being replaced by Steve Perry. This concert captures the energy and ambition of Journey as they were starting to carve out their identity, demonstrating their blend of rock and melodic elements—a style that would soon bloom into their signature sound.
