Journey

At the time of their live performance on June 26, 1982, Journey had just released their album 'Escape' earlier that year, in January. This seminal work was a groundbreaking success for the band, spawning hits like 'Don't Stop Believin'' which would go on to become an anthem in its own right. By the time they took the stage at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, Journey was riding high on the charts and experiencing a peak in their popularity. Interestingly, this concert was part of the 'Day on the Green' festival, which became a notable event in the rock scene, showcasing a vibrant atmosphere and a mix of legendary artists. The energy of the crowd and the band during this performance encapsulated the essence of early '80s rock, as they solidified their status as a leading force in the genre.
