Journey

In 1978, Journey was riding the wave of success from their album 'Infinity,' which had been released just a year prior. This live recording at the Aragon Ballroom shines a light on the band's burgeoning popularity, fueled by their newfound lead singer, Steve Perry. His powerful vocals and magnetic stage presence were key to capturing audiences, and you can really feel that energy here. Interestingly, 'Infinity' marked a pivotal moment for Journey, as it propelled them into the mainstream. The single 'Wheel in the Sky' off that album became one of their signature tracks, laying the groundwork for their future hits. During this concert, you can sense the excitement and possibility in the air—Journey was on the cusp of major stardom, just before their music exploded in the following years with even bigger albums like 'Escape' and 'Frontiers.' This performance showcases a band that had just begun to write its legacy.
