Journey - Summer Blowout Concert Live in Los Angeles at Memorial Coliseum
In July 1980, Journey was riding high on the success of their massive breakthrough album 'Departure,' which had just been released earlier that year. This live recording from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum showcases a band that was firmly established in the rock scene, fueled by powerful singles like 'Any Way You Want It.' It was an era when Journey was gaining momentum, transitioning from their earlier, more progressive rock roots to an arena rock powerhouse, captivating audiences with their melodic hooks and soaring vocals. Interestingly, they were also on the brink of defining their sound with the addition of Steve Perry, whose voice had become the band's signature. This concert is a testament to their explosive energy and the fervor of their fans, marking a pivotal moment in their storied career.
