Journey - Don't Stop Believin' Live at Budokan, Tokyo 1983 HQ

Venue: Budokan Location: Tokyo, Japan Date: March 3, 1983

In March 1983, Journey delivered a sizzling performance of 'Don't Stop Believin'' at the iconic Budokan in Tokyo, marking a key moment in their career right after the release of their highly acclaimed album 'Escape.' Released the previous year, 'Escape' showcased their trademark blend of rock and pop, bringing to light hits like 'Open Arms' and 'Who's Crying Now.' The live recording not only captures the band's explosive energy but also highlights their peak popularity, as they were riding high on the success of 'Escape,' which had catapulted them into a household name. Interestingly, 'Don't Stop Believin'' has since become one of the most enduring anthems in rock history, often associated with themes of hope and perseverance. This Tokyo concert really encapsulates that spirit, making it a defining moment both for Journey and for fans around the world.
