Journey
Journey Live Performance of Departure Tour at The Summit, Houston, TX
In April 1980, Journey was in the midst of their 'Departure' tour, following the release of their album 'Departure' just a few months earlier in January of the same year. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it was the first to feature the classic hit 'Any Way You Want It,' which would go on to become a defining song for the band. The Houston concert, captured in this live recording, showcases the energetic synergy between the band and their audience during this electrifying era. Steve Perry's iconic vocals and the band's dynamic performance highlighted their rise to fame, solidifying their place in rock history. It's interesting to note that the 'Departure' album not only pushed their commercial success but also introduced a more polished sound compared to their earlier works, reflecting the band's artistic evolution.
