Journey

In October 1981, Journey was riding high on the success of their album "Escape," which had been released earlier that same year. "Escape" marked a pivotal moment in the band’s career, as it was their first album to top the charts, producing several hit singles such as "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Who's Crying Now." The live recording of "Who's Crying Now," featured during the Escape Tour in Houston, showcases the band during a peak period of popularity and artistic expression. The dynamic performance underscores their ability to blend rock with melodic hooks, a signature of their sound. Interestingly, this concert not only solidified Journey’s status as a leading band of the early '80s but also exemplified their transition into a mainstream rock phenomenon, appealing to a wider audience with their anthemic style. The energy emanating from such performances helped cement their legacy and set the stage for future successes.
