Journey

In January 1981, Journey was on the height of their success with the release of their album "Escape," which had come out just a few months prior, in October 1981. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, showcasing their signature blend of rock and pop and featuring some of their most enduring hits, including "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Open Arms." The live recording from the Escape Tour in Houston captures the band's electrifying performance during a time when they were solidifying their status as one of the leading rock acts of the early 1980s. Interestingly, "Open Arms" would go on to become one of their biggest ballads, showcasing lead vocalist Steve Perry's powerful vocal range and the band's melodic songwriting. The tour not only highlighted Journey's commercial peak but also set the stage for their lasting legacy in rock music.
