Journey

In 2002, Journey was riding a wave of resurgence, mainly due to their album "Arrival," which had been released the year prior. This marked the band’s reentry into the spotlight after a period of relative quiet. Journey had embraced a new sound, leaning into modern rock while also nodding to their classic roots, which captivated both old fans and new listeners alike. This live recording from Casino Rama on July 4th captures them in a dynamic and celebratory environment, showcasing tracks like "Faithfully" and "Don’t Stop Believin'." It’s interesting to note that this performance featured vocalist Steve Augeri, who stepped in after the legendary Steve Perry. The mix of nostalgia and new energy infused their live sets, demonstrating how Journey managed to keep their sound fresh while still honoring their storied past.
