Journey

The live recording of "Lights" performed by Journey on November 30, 1980, took place during the band's highly influential Escape Tour, which was in support of their album *Escape*, released in 1981. This album marked a significant peak in Journey's commercial success and is often considered one of their best works, featuring hits like "Don't Stop Believin'" and "Open Arms." By this time, Journey had solidified their lineup with lead vocalist Steve Perry, whose powerful voice became integral to the band's identity. Notably, the band was beginning to achieve massive mainstream popularity, transitioning from their earlier progressive rock roots to a more arena rock sound. The energetic performance captured in Houston exemplifies the band's dynamic presence and highlights the enthusiastic reception they garnered during this period, as they were in the midst of capturing the hearts of a global audience.
