Journey - Dead or Alive Live Performance from 1981 Escape Tour in Houston
Location: Houston, TX, United States
Date: August 30, 1981
In this electrifying performance from August 30, 1981, Journey was in the midst of their monumental 'Escape' tour, right after the release of their iconic album, 'Escape,' which dropped earlier that year. This album solidified their status as a rock powerhouse with hits like 'Don't Stop Believin'' and 'Who's Crying Now.' Fun fact: 'Escape' was an absolute game changer for Journey, catapulting them to mainstream success and leading to their first multi-platinum album. By the time they got to Houston for this live recording, the band was riding a wave of momentum and fan fervor that was palpable in every note. It's clear that the synergy between the band and their audience was electric, which only added to the magic of the night.
