Journey

In October 1986, Journey was riding high on their 'Raised on Radio' album, which had been released just a few months earlier in May. This concert in Buffalo at the Memorial Auditorium captured a pivotal moment in their career, as this marked the band's first album without founding member Gregg Rolie. Featuring the iconic Steve Perry on lead vocals, the setlist likely included chart-toppers like 'Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)' and 'Be Good to Yourself.' Interestingly, this live recording offers a candid glimpse of the band's transformation during a time when they were feeling the pressures of success and lineup changes. Fans at the show likely got to witness a vibrant energy that hinted at the commercial peak of this powerhouse band, and it’s a testament to their enduring appeal in rock music.
