[@goingnowherefastman]

Absolutely brilliant...what a great drummer AYNSLEY DUNBAR was...and probably still is...

[@user-jv7jq3no4t]

Great

[@marcpizzutiello8649]

Totally! They were all so tight!

[@brettcaporale8031]

Conny Johncrete I agree one the best ever!!!

[@cletusawreetusawrightus1491]

if he was good enough for Zappa, he's good enough for anyone-

[@stuartdamon3610]

I ❤️ all these Winterland recordings! Thank God for Bill Graham! Wow, they are rocking. Dunbar is awesome!

[@LisaBellaDonnaMusic]

This is one of Journeys FINEST songs.

[@jasoncavitt2043]

That's some nasty single kick work there...

[@richardbrown7604]

They played this at my HS in 76. It was a good way to end our senior year!

[@vonithipathachai8449]

Lucky.

[@kimmasuen4107]

What school was it? I was at Saratoga h.s. and we wanted them there. so bad! Journey and Yes we're it!!!

[@glennw.4570]

Yeah. Good year. I saw them play the gym at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills in '76. A very young Neil had that crazy-assed afro going.

[@bigalmaden8042]

We had Yesterday and Today (Y&T) play at our high school. I missed it because I had to work. Still pissed about that.

[@edljnehan2811]

The great Aynsley Dunbar one of my five top drummers of all time. Saw them open up for ELP and he was up there with the great Carl Palmer. What a show😊

[@TheBoulevard44]

I was at this show at Winterland. Fantastic!

[@1953nagarjuna]

I was at this concert. The fabulous Mahavishnu Orchestra was the headliner. What a night that was! Those were the days, my friend...too bad they had to end!

[@gigabuster_87]

At least you were there. That's all that matters.

[@Blasikov]

Nice. Love the early stuff with AD and Rollie.

[@jeffreyconner2937]

I first heard this song on Time boxed Cd set that came out in the 1990s. Like most Journey fans I became familiar with the band through the Steve Perry era. Still, I was blown away when I first heard this song.

[@RonWinter335]

OH YEAH!!! One of the first five albums that really changed my life! Thank You!! The other four being Mahavishnu Orchestra Birds of Fire, Jeff Beck Blow By Blow, Weather Report I Sing The Body Electric and James Gang Miami. Thank you all!!!!

[@krusty6246]

My favorite journey lineup. Come on guys please get back together before it’s too late

[@whyyeseyec]

It's too late...

[@edljnehan2811]

😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@esad-ij5ie]

I grew up on this stuff. They put out 3 album's before steve perry. The album NEXT is a trip. I would get so stoned and listen to the whole album and just feel numb afterwards. My brother had a $2,000 stereo, which was crazy back then. His reciever was a sansui 9090. I remember we were blasting it getting high and we looked up and there were 2 cops screaming at us. After turning it down, he told us they'd been knocking on the door and garage for 10 mins. He lifted the garage door and just came in. He told us he wasn't going to bust us for the weed because he was illegal for walking in. He told us " Your front screen door was going to shake off the house." It really would bumb a good inch away from the house. 😂

[@PRSCu24]

Another great KZbin find. I was in the audience for this gig!

[@petermcallister8489]

The roots of prog metal are in this instrumental.

[@edljnehan2811]

ELP the Barbarian😮

[@rstarguitar5350]

I’m actually embarrassed as huge fan of music and of all things awesome I never realized how good early journey was prior to Steve Perry I knew certain things Antidotal things at the the beginning they were at their best I can’t say this about too many bands but I’m speechless they were absolutely incredible I honestly wish they would’ve went on this way they could’ve brought Steve Perry on and still carry-on with this yes they made Classics with him but I just got a feeling that whatever Neil Schoen was became better after being with Santana in my opinion it made him greater and in my opinion they should’ve never changed their direction they were on the precipice of something better than anything in music I honestly believe that Rollie Had a melodic perfect voice for that music and honestly they could’ve taken on Steve Perry and capitalized on that for a long period of time believe they did that for one maybe two albums But they couldn’t burn on the level of living Led Zeppelin oh beyond I absolutely love love love this music and I wonder if there’s a live performance is on CD some sort of compilation it’s so good dammit

[@brianboockholdt194]

My first show at Winterland, what a way to start!

[@cosmicman621]

Neil Schon....wailing his exotic..mid-eastern modes back in..74 ⚡️

[@richardjames7382]

Other guitarist is George Tickner. After he left to become a medical doctor he was never replaced.

[@SoWhat.BigDeal.]

There it is, thanks, I wondered who that was. Never knew that.

[@explorewithar-ee8756]

Jonathan Cain replace him doing a Rhythm and Keyboard

[@SoWhat.BigDeal.]

Before the ballad boy that band aspired to real muscular instrumental oriented music like this. And like my favorite, the Look Into The Future title track with all that fabulous soloing by Neal. It looked like they were going to carry that late-60s early-70s concert oriented music forward into its next evolution, which would have been great, but they took the Perry off-ramp and ran smack into a pile of money. Aah, whattaya gonna do?

[@christopherrichards8852]

my first Winterland show...awesome.

[@scottdavidson9963]

Incredible

[@stephenthestoryteller3139]

Hell Yeah 🙌 This is awesome!

[@Sumdrumer]

Those were awesome times. Back when I used to take a lot of acid. Now I take a lot of the antacid...

[@SoWhat.BigDeal.]

Thanks for the laugh...that one caught me just right! 😄

[@edljnehan2811]

All Maestro musicians. God how I wish they could say that about this crap today😢

[@christophergordon7433]

Sabbath should’ve gotten Dunbar to play on their 13 album.

[@TheWallAlfyan]

Wiw they sound a lot like early Queen here, a mix of Flick Of The Wrist and My Fairy King comes to mind when listening to the first 3 mins.

[@vosooghzardoshtian2785]

one of the best progressive rock ever. one of the best drummer ever.

[@dudleylitz7369]

I hear Mahavishnu influences...

[@bpronewage2584]

Restore this vid and make it in color

[@graysonsbaba3267]

Neil Peart was good but Aynsley Dunbar, playing that tiny little kit, had him by a mile.

[@edljnehan2811]

You should have seen Journey when they opened up for Emerson Lake and Palmer. I've never seen anyone play better than Carl Palmer and believe me Aynsley Dunbar was great that night just like he is here😮 that was in 1975 so basically the same Journey😮

[@tomshoelen9924]

This is the REAL Journey, not with that ballad singer.

[@jasoncavitt2043]

I couldn't agree more. I loved Steve Perry Journey when I was a kid, but as an adult, I'll take the early stuff every time.

[@wildridetoo]

Absolutely!

[@tallykev6608]

These awesome displays of musicianship from early Journey never fails to bring out the Perry haters. Well this version of Journey would never have been known to most people if it hadn't been for the "ballad boy". They were damn lucky to get him.

[@BiggeDiehl]

This is the band I saw several times back then, before anyone ever heard of Perry. There would be no Steve Perry had it not been for this lineup. Just about everyone in the Bay Area wasn’t happy with the direction he took them - I know I wasn’t.

[@jeffreyconner2937]

@@BiggeDiehl I feel that if Robert Fleischman had remain their lead singer they would have been more of a straight up rock and roll band. They wouldn't have become too pop oriented and we would not have had Raised on Radio.

[@edljnehan2811]

I saw them years before the ballad boy was even known😮 as a matter of fact you were probably in diapers when I started listening to this type of music😮

[@jeffwarren4938]

Every one of the first three albums made the top 100, and each successive album charted about ten or fifteen spots higher...they were on the verge of going big without him...the record company and manager ruined it. Great music is not always about how many records you sell. They did get rich...most of them..if they "needed" a front man, I wish Sammy Hagar would have joined, not Perry...they would have been just as big, but much harder edge. The HSAS album with Schon and Hagar was kick ass.

[@1michaelriser]

Their music then reminded me of Genesis.

[@VictorSilva-wl7qb]

Me too

[@richardjames7382]

Ansley Dunbar left after the 4th album because he didn’t like the direction Journey was going. He wasn’t impressed with Steve Perry.

[@de629]

They went down the shifter after.. yhis

[@caferrara]

Sorry, but this is a bad imitation of Mahavishnu Orchestra by comparatively limited musicians. Not to take away from Ansley Dunbar's drumming.

[@chrisb8655]

Stupid comment.

[@edljnehan2811]

You're not the brightest Wick in the forest are you😮

[@chrisb8655]

​@@edljnehan2811No, he's a troll. That, or he doesn't know music.

[@edljnehan2811]

@@chrisb8655 well I don't believe he's a troll because I am a troll and it takes one to know one however I do believe he's just a little ignorant on early Journey. After all he does compliment Ansley Dunbar and a troll would never do that we would totally destroy anyone's opinion. Also obviously he knows about music because he brought up mahavishnu Orchestra who early Journey did sound like. No my friend the true troll would have totally destroyed the other person's opinion adding laughs and obnoxious phrases. Trust me on this because I'm the troll that even destroys other trolls. Hahaha other trolls Boogie the hell away from me fast and very rarely come back for more. A true troll wants to humiliate you so they can laugh at you and it gives a sense of power. A true troll is enamored with their own command of the English language and their ability to insult you with catchy digs insulting and vulgar language. However we can be serious about something like music and as long as you don't disagree or insult us you'll be okay. Just a little lesson because you tried to help me. Thank you

[@dislikesquare8749]

Eric Clapton wasn't God...Aynsley Dunbar was!
