Journey

In 1978, Journey was on the brink of transitioning from a relatively new band to a major player in the rock scene. Before their stunning live performance at Soldier Field, they had just released their album 'Infinity,' which marked a pivotal moment in their career. This album, featuring the soaring vocals of Steve Perry, produced hits like 'Lights' and 'Wheel in the Sky,' solidifying their presence in the music world. The live recording at the CNE Grandstand in Toronto showcases the band's energy and the audience's growing adoration for them. Interestingly, this was a period when Journey was beginning to refine their sound, blending rock with a hint of pop sensibilities, which would define their future successes. Listening to this performance, you can really feel the excitement in the air—who knew they would soon become one of the quintessential bands of the '80s?
