Journey Live in Kansas City Performing at Kemper Arena

Venue: Kemper Arena Location: Kansas City, Missouri, United States Date: September 21, 1986

In September 1986, Journey was riding the high wave of their massive success following the release of their album 'Raised on Radio' just a few months earlier. This live performance at Kemper Arena in Kansas City showcases the band at a pivotal moment in their career, blending rock anthems and soaring ballads that fans had grown to love. The album, featuring hits like 'Girl Can't Help It' and 'I'll Be Alright Without You,' marked a crucial transition for Journey, as it was their first work without longtime guitarist Neal Schon. Interestingly, this period also noted a shift in their sound; they began incorporating more polished and radio-friendly elements that paid off commercially. Fans who experienced this concert were witnessing a dynamic band that was still evolving, solidifying their legendary status in rock music history.
