Journey
Journey Live in Providence Civic Center Performance
In November 1986, Journey was riding high on the success of their album 'Raised on Radio,' which had been released a few months earlier, in April. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, as it was their first without essential member Steve Perry after a brief break, prompting fans to wonder how the band's sound would evolve. During the Providence show, the energy in the air was palpable, with the audience captivated by the iconic melodies that Journey was known for, showcasing hits from 'Escape' and more. An interesting tidbit is that 'Raised on Radio' included a blend of rock and pop elements, making it distinct from their earlier work. Despite some turbulence in their lineup, Journey managed to maintain their momentum, drawing fervent crowds, as evidenced by this live recording. It's a snapshot of a band navigating change yet still electrifying their audience with unforgettable performances.
