Journey

In April 1979, Journey was riding high off their breakthrough album 'Infinity,' released just a year prior. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, as it introduced their new lead singer, Steve Perry, who became a pivotal figure in their iconic sound. The live recording from Tokyo captures the band at a dynamic moment, showcasing their rising popularity in Japan—a country that would quickly become a major part of their touring circuit. What's fascinating is that just after this concert, Journey would release 'Evolution' later in 1979, continuing their upward trajectory. During the performance, fans could feel the energy of a band on the verge of superstardom, with hit songs that would soon define their legacy.
