Journey

In March 1983, Journey was riding a wave of immense popularity thanks to their album "Escape," released just a year earlier, in 1981. This record not only marked a peak in the band's commercial success but also introduced iconic hits like "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Open Arms." The live performance in Tokyo, captured at the famed Budokan venue, showcased the band's electrifying energy and vocal prowess, particularly evident in their rendition of "Still They Ride." This track, featured on the "Escape" album, further cemented Journey's reputation as arena rock giants. Interestingly, during this period, the band was garnering international acclaim, with their music transcending borders and gaining fervent fans, particularly in Japan. The show's vibrant atmosphere and the palpable connection between the band and the audience made it a memorable moment in Journey's illustrious journey.
