As of the live recording at Rock In Rio on September 15, 2024, Journey had recently been active in revitalizing their career, particularly after the return of longtime lead vocalist Arnel Pineda. Prior to this event, in 2021, Journey released the album "Freedom," which marked a significant continuation of their classic rock sound while also celebrating the band's legacy. The reunion and re-engagement with fans were pivotal, as they had not released new music since 2011. The band's performance at such a prestigious festival speaks to their enduring popularity and ability to draw large crowds, underscoring their impact on the rock music scene. Notably, the recording of "Faithfully" during this show not only showcases Journey's timeless appeal but also their commitment to delivering high-quality performances decades into their career.
