Journey

During the live recording of "Stone In Love" on October 1, 1981, Journey was at the peak of their commercial success following the release of their iconic album "Escape." Released in the same year as the live performance, "Escape" marked a significant turning point for the band, as it produced several hit singles, including "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Who's Crying Now." This period defined Journey's sound, characterized by a blend of rock and melodic pop, which helped establish them as one of the leading bands of the early 1980s. Notably, the Escape Tour was hugely successful, celebrated for its high-energy performances and theatricality, indicating the band's strong connection with their audience. Interestingly, "Stone In Love," a standout track from the album, showcases the band’s signature sound and vocal prowess of lead singer Steve Perry, further solidifying Journey's place in rock history during this vibrant era.
