Journey

In the summer of 2011, Journey was riding a wave of renewed popularity largely thanks to their then-new lead singer, Arnel Pineda, who brought fresh energy and a unique backstory to the band. Before this live performance at the NBC Today Show on July 29, they had released the album 'Eclipse' in 2011, which featured a harder rock sound than their previous work. Interestingly, this live rendition of 'Faithfully' came during a period of transition for Journey, as they were navigating the legacy of their classic hits while introducing fans to new material. Pineda's impressive vocal range reminded many fans of the band's iconic frontman, Steve Perry. This performance, taped in the bustling atmosphere of Rockefeller Plaza, showcased the band's ability to captivate both nostalgic fans and a new generation, highlighting their enduring legacy in rock music.
