Journey

In November 1981, Journey was riding high on the success of their album "Escape," which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a significant turning point in their career, propelling them into superstardom with hit singles like "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Open Arms." The live recording from The Summit in Houston showcases the band's dynamic performances during this peak period, capturing their fan-favorite tracks that defined early 80s rock. Notably, this concert is often regarded as one of their most iconic live shows, reflecting the band's transition from a progressive rock sound to a more mainstream AOR style. Furthermore, lead vocalist Steve Perry's powerful voice and charismatic stage presence contributed to their popularity, making this recording a vibrant testament to Journey's impact during an era of musical transformation.
