Journey - Live Performance of Raised On Radio at Joe Louis Arena, Detroit

Venue: Joe Louis Arena Location: Detroit, Michigan, United States Date: October 9, 1986

When Journey took the stage at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit on October 9, 1986, they were riding high on the success of their album 'Raised on Radio,' released earlier that same year. This marked a pivotal point in their career, as it was their first album without co-founder Greg Rolie and showcased a more pop-rock sound. The band, now featuring lead singer Steve Perry, had crafted hits like 'Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)' and 'Be Good to Yourself,' which resonated with fans and helped solidify their place in rock history. The live show captures electrifying performances and highlights their evolving sound during a transitional phase. Interestingly, this concert took place near the end of the 'Raised on Radio' tour, which ultimately led to a hiatus for the band, making this recording a snapshot of a moment just before significant changes were on the horizon.
