[@MisterBeauJanGels]

Are you sure they quit? The way I read it, they were forced out after management and the record company were on the verge of dumping them because of the first three albums' sales. To some people in this world, it's all about the money.

[@ellisbrandi84]

I'm a big fan of Journey, but most people who claim to be a fan are really only fans of Steve Perry and that Journey. Journey was a group BEFORE Steve Perry, just not as successful. They were and always will be one of the best bands!

[@daman9869]

the BEST ERA of Journey! San Francisco Sound baby! The era of Jam Bands.

[@psychodelicrock12]

+Da Man Why won't this lineup of JOURNEY reunite. Or why won't the musician of GREGG ROLIE, AYNSLEY DUNBAR, GEORGE TICKNER, & ROSS VALORY get together and bring in GREGG ROLIE'S guitarist to fill in NEAL SCHON'S spot.

[@Oneness100]

I hate the term "jam band". I think for the Grateful Dead, they were more jamming, but for other bands, they were extended solos, there's a difference to each of those terms. Extended soloing means they are playing within the context of the song and maybe going off in a different direction, but they typically manage to get back on track with the song. Jamming just means, to me, just a bunch of musicians screwing around with ideas, but there's not structure and it just ends up being whatever it turns out to be, sometimes, it's worthwhile and sometimes its just a mess of crap that never materializes into anything worth keeping. Journey wasn't, to me, a "jam band".

[@manoftheworld1000]

@Da man Yeah! That was when 'Journey' was Journey - until Mr. Perry took over and "cornified" the band!

[@Oneness100]

They didn't really "jam" all that much. They played them live almost like the album, only a little differently.

[@nextwave1314]

Carlos couldn't stomach anymore of Neil's superior guitar playing so he was TOLD to leave! This is the REAL Journey line-up. Brilliant...

[@kamakirinoko]

Yes. I believe Carlos was getting heavy into his Baba Sri Ram Devadip bullshit and Neal and Gregg couldn't take it. Carlos went to do Welcome and these guys created Journey. But they remained great friends, with Carlos no doubt doing the mentoring. All under Bill Graham's umbrella, if you remember correctly. There was the whole Bay Area scene, and nothing happened unless Bill Graham was involved. Amazing story, but this is just as amazing music as it was back then . . .

I absolutely love this line up and their music.

[@jimdep6542]

You probably remember Carlos Santana coming out for the encore for the Mahavishnu Orchestra that night....I was there too. They played " A Love Supreme" together. I went in back of the stage to get a picture of Carlos tuning up that beautiful sunburst Les Paul before he went out. I got a great picture of him smiling when I said " hi ! " . I also got a nice picture of McLaughlin playing his double neck just in front of the stage. What a night !

[@ronaldstone1285]

Try the original 3 albums: Journey, Look Into the Future, and Next.

[@pilsnrimgaard2507]

Wow, George Tikner....Very rare indeed. Aynsley Dunbar was the ONLY drummer for Journey IMHO. Loved Steve Smith, but Aynsley had a certain "unpredictability" about him that couldn't/shouldn't of been understated. That's why Schon and Perry let him go, he refused to play the same way every night. Aynsley was primarily a jazz/ fusion drummer. I heard that Rolie left soon after pretty much for the same reason. Herbie Herbert was a "pop" producer too and Journey really was a Prog rock Band to begin with. 1st three albums are recorded masterpieces for sure! The dueling Guitar/keyboard solos in "Khoutec" are timeless, not to mention the Jazz side of the band in "nickle and dime". "Of a Lifetime" is a monster example to their musicianship at the peak of their musical abilities. RIP Journey!

[@vibefrequencyable]

Dude...totally agree!!!...columbia would have dropprd them....isnt it funny how many music lovers and musicians especially loved the 1st 3 albums? I liked infinity ..departure..evolution too..but thats grwat pop... not the same...as this fusion of prog/fusion/ blue... Aynsley was a beast!

[@nathanritzo2228]

Agreed on George Tickner, a great rhythm man. Dunbar and Smith are both jazz drummers by trade, as was the great Charlie Watts. They just wanted to be able to pay the bills, I guess.

[@kennymass1932]

This is Journey at their very best. They were never the same after Steve Perry joined. Steve Peryy is a great singer, but Journey lost their edge after he joined. Journeys first three album are in my opinion their best.

[@psychodelicrock12]

Me too

[@psychodelicrock12]

Plus, when GREGG ROLIE left & JONATHAN CAIN join, their hard core music faded away.

[@brianjacobsen727]

Kenny Mass it was Neal's best guitar work I agree

[@paullevine1813]

Agreed..

[@buf4wil]

Steve makes a great vocal complement to Gregg on songs like "Feeling That Way" and "Anytime", and he sings Robert Fleischman's "Wheel in the Sky" better than Fleischman did, but even that isn't quite the same musical beauty that this is. And once he took over the band (and Aynsley and Gregg left), it's not even in the same ballpark. I mean, one of the "hits" from "Escape" compares unfavorably to a later Bryan Adams song in the same vein, ffs. The original Journey was definitely the best.

Wow. I was actually searching for live footage of Rolie/Perry Journey (those first 3 albums with Rolie are my fav's by far of the Perry era) and I stumbled on this. I am a fan of the original Journey, as well, so finding this blew my mind. What a great watch!! History, indeed. For sure, Journey is two completely different bands. I never saw the original, but I was fortunate to see Rolie in 1980 before he left. I suppose the band attained more commercial success after Rolie's departure (after Departure :-) ) but they were never the same for me. Huge loss. Anyway, this was GREAT! I'll be smiling for at least a month after seeing this.

[@tonygaray3233]

Topaz is one of my favorite Journey songs, Tickner wrote & co wrote some great material for Journey & of course I love the Jonathan Cain radio hits era, the late 70's Perry led, arena rock era, but yes indeed, the most kickass era of Journey is the Rolie/Dunbar space rock era of Journey! So so many great songs from this era, this lineup had amazing adventurous musicianship but at the same time, their compositions we're catchy, so happy to see this concert available!

The 70's had an amazing group of power drummers, Bonham, Moon, Pert, Baker, Mitchel to name a few. Aynsley, The Hawk, was right there with them, as he was a high demand session musician as well as playing his own group, The Retaliation. They filled every open moment with percussion sound.

WOW...Prarie Prince was in Journey...where have I been? I thot it was Ansley! Amazing these guys are still around...they never age w/classic radio. 99% of Journey fans have NO CLUE about this era. Pre-Perry and post are two different bands entirely.

[@Oneness100]

Actually in the beginning with Perry, they still managed to play some of their earlier songs, it's just that Herbie Herbert wanted more radio friendly hits and that means, they have to go into more pop/vocal oriented music, which is why they brought in Perry. That's the problem with this stuff, it's either make music to satisfy themselves and fans that are typically more musicians, OR go for the hits, attract a younger and more female audience and make a shit ton of money. It's a tough call. :-). They went for the money, the chicks. Most bands that go into R&R end up going the money route. It's what pays the bills, keeps the record label happy, and they essentially get to keep their job.

[@Joesfosterdogs]

keep in mind the record co said...no hits, you are out! so...that will motivate Neil to try something else. it was survival, so we cannot judge harshly. if there is respect, give it to Rollie who said, "I'm off the pop train" and also, he was the lead vocalist, so that had to be really hard. Enter Jon Cain from The Babys who was pop gold!

[@Oneness100]

Jeff Porcaro Groove Yeah, the band definitely changed directions. I was just discussing the days when the band wasn't so commercial.

[@Joesfosterdogs]

exactly...most Journey fans do not know the first three LP's. They only know the Perry era.

[@Oneness100]

Jeff Porcaro Groove Well, yeah, because Journey didn't get much radio play with the first 3 albums and they weren't doing major touring until they got Perry, put out the infinity album. Yeah, I run into Journey fans that even think the Cain and Steve Smith are original Journey members. :-)

I didn't quite follow Journey around, but I lived in Oakland and they were usually around, usually teamed with Santana, so we usually got an amazing double bill that year. That was when concert tickets cost around $15 and you could usually sneak in a few bottles of whatever-in my case Southern Comfort. And it got really wild with the occasional outdoor concert. I remember the SNACK Festival. I was so high on acid that the bands sounded like they were from Zetar and people held up their lighters even in the daytime. Who knew this was being taped? We would have killed for KZbin back then. And that was thirty years before the smart phone . . .

[@nathanritzo2228]

[@angelari7386]

*Of A Lifetime* 👍😎

At this period, Journey sounded like Santana. Schon and Rolie, having come from their stint in that band, seemed to mirror the Santana sound. Too bad they didn't develop along these line instead of the pop stuff they later produce, (without Rolie).

[@kamakirinoko]

I agree. I believe it was record company pressure that led them to Steve Perry and stardom, which of course ruined it all for those of us who loved *this* kind of music.

[@Deebz270]

Not a half bad recording given its age and where it might have been... The performance - legendary and hardly a note different from the studio cuts, other than for artistic flourish. . The first three albums of Journey were stoners and jammers albums for sure, inviting one to get well stoned and pick up the guitar... In a vain attempt to catch up with Schon's mini-gun solos. (...It's taken the best part of forty odd years....). This was the raw, visceral Journey, aptly named for this period and beyond. It made also for good accompanyment on car-journeys, which arguably continued well into the Perry era. The more *ethereal* musical nuances heard here, were not totally lost when the band changed direction, echoes of which can be heard in later songs like *Lady Luck.* . Hats-off also, to the writer of the 'Summary' for a very well written bio, most notably the final sentence.

[@Oneness100]

One thing about Gregg Rolie, he hasn't graduated from the Jan Hammer University of Pitch Wheel. Other than that, Gregg's a great B-3 player but he simply has no clue how to use the pitch wheel on a MiniMoog.
