Journey

In this electrifying live performance from October 10, 1980, Journey showcased their dynamic energy at Banpaku Hall in Suita, Japan. By this time, the band had just released their album "Departure" earlier that year, which marked a significant turning point in their career. The album, with its catchy hits and polished sound, helped solidify their place in the rock scene. It was also their first album featuring Jonathan Cain, who contributed to the band's distinctive sound with his keyboards and songwriting. Interestingly, the band's momentum was building during this period—"Any Way You Want It" was one of the standout tracks from the album, and its inclusion in this live set demonstrates their commitment to engaging their audience with infectious enthusiasm. This performance encapsulates the essence of Journey's early '80s glory, blending powerful vocals, soaring guitar riffs, and that unmistakable, sing-along spirit that fans still adore.
