Journey

In the live recording of "Line of Fire" from Journey's Escape Tour in Houston on April 30, 1981, the band was riding high on the success of their album "Escape," which had been released just months earlier. This album not only solidified their status as rock legends but also featured some of their most iconic hits, including "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Open Arms." It's fascinating to think about how this album marked a pivotal point for Journey, propelling them into mainstream stardom and capturing a fervent fanbase. The energy in the performance reflects the excitement of that era, as the band transitioned from their earlier progressive rock sound to a more polished, radio-friendly approach. Vocalist Steve Perry's powerful delivery, combined with Neal Schon's guitar riffs, created an unforgettable experience for fans, making this live recording a treasured piece of rock history.
