Journey

In May 1982, Journey was riding high on the success of their album 'Escape,' which had been released just a year earlier. This was the band's most commercially successful record, featuring iconic hits like 'Don't Stop Believin'' and 'Open Arms.' By the time they performed at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago, their popularity had skyrocketed, making them one of the leading rock bands of the era. The live recording captures the energy and excitement of their performances, showcasing their blend of classic rock and arena-sized anthems. Interestingly, 'Escape' marked a significant shift for Journey, highlighting their transition from a progressive rock sound to a more mainstream arena rock style. This concert not only reflects where they stood in their career but also solidifies their legacy in the rock genre.
