Journey

In October 1980, Journey was riding high on the success of their album 'Departure,' which had been released in early 1980. This live performance in Osaka showcases the band's sound during a transformative period, post-Steve Perry's arrival, when they began to solidify their signature style that melded rock with a pop sensibility. One interesting tidbit is that 'Departure' included hits like 'Any Way You Want It' and 'Walks Like a Lady,' both of which helped to catapult Journey into the mainstream spotlight. Capturing a moment in time, this show illustrates the band's energy and connection with their audience, all while they were gearing up for even greater success with their follow-up album 'Escape' just a year later.
