Journey

In April 1979, Journey was riding high on the success of their album 'Infinity,' which had been released just the previous year. This marked a pivotal moment in their career as it was the first album featuring the iconic voice of Steve Perry, and it helped to define the band’s sound moving forward. The live recording from Shibuya Koukaidou in Tokyo not only showcased their soaring melodies and intricate instrumentation but also signaled Journey's rise to mainstream prominence. It's fascinating to note that during this time, Journey's lineup was solidifying, with keyboardist Gregg Rolie contributing to the dynamic that fans came to love. This performance is a glimpse into a band on the brink of super stardom, capturing the electrifying energy that defined their early shows and set the stage for their enduring legacy.
