Journey - Precious Time (Live in Osaka 1980) HQ

[@tedwojtasik8781]

When I was in HS, around 84', our music teacher in band played this song as an example of a perfectly constructed contemporary tune. She said what made it so perfect was how everything, every part exclusively served the whole of the song. Steve does a breathtaking job and is at the peak of his ability, Neal lays down one of the best rhythm tracks of all time, Smith is tight, in the pocket with the time changes and key changes with an almost bolero feel to the break, then Greg and his harp take center stage. Just an amazing song.

[@Greenriver842]

Gregg Rolie rocks on the harmonica.

[@stephenmr2]

Greggs solo at the end is the very best harmonica solo of all of recorded music And I love the one in when the Levee breaks but this one is that good its better.

[@tedwojtasik8781]

If you dig harmonica, you have to check out Blues Traveller. The lead singer plays the most intricate, badass harp you have ever heard. Dude is the EVH of the harp.

[@Soja4Christ777]

Any idea what key he plays in and what model harp he using ??

Greg felt lost not playing his keyboards, but he rocked the hell out of that harmonica!

[@robmettler2548]

I really miss those days with Greg Rollie. Love Neal's Journey Through Time

Greg Rolie killing it on the harmonica. Awesome!

[@yournightmare6515]

Ridiculous talent.....this performance is amazing and they should release it again. The message will always be current. Like much of their music. To me....this was the perfect Journey lineup.

[@ltkell2028]

Yep!! Great songs & arrangements that is missing, not seen or heard today! God gifted them & they gifted us!!!

[@Frodohotep]

With this lineup, Journey was the best rock and roll band of their time, and one of the best of all time. Hands down.

Wow this is great Gregg Rolie can play the hell out of a harmonica

[@in2livinit]

Gregg is literally an SFBA Rock Royalty Legend. Saw them on this tour, with Jon in 18', and Gregg with his band FREE on Santa Cruz Beach in 2010 where they did Santana of course, some solo stuff & some Journey. They were great. I wish Journey (Neal?) & Everyone could have gotten past all the infighting. If they can tour with 2 keyboardists, why not Gregg for a while tour. He seemed game. Gregg & Neal could open with Santana era etc. Imagine how cool that would be ? Before it's too late. Then imagine the fainting women if SP walked out & he & Gregg did Just the same way/feelin that way 🤣 Arnel is on record that it would be his dream to share the stage with SP anytime anywhere. God knows all their egos should be satisfied by now and they're swimming in cash Rich except for Gregg maybe, & SP's ego is retired in Maui lol. Personally I'd rather see other resurrections. EVH back. Bon Scott & Brian with Malcolm & Angus, or Def Leppard with 3 Guitarists, Steve Clark #1 of course. But Journey would sell out every seat in Arenas worldwide and make a lot of wives & GF's really happy. That would be good for the guys & pay benefits for years haha 😂

[@c.holland6068]

I have no idea why they never released this song as a single. It would have gotten my attention.

[@ZYVZX]

They also should've had Still They Ride as a single. Journey had so much vocal, songwriting skills and musical talent that they could let a tremendously written and composed song like Still They Ride sit on the back burner and still recieve huge success with Escape.

[@mikelopez9817]

@@summermcpherson8209 Hi Summer, my favorite song Journey performed that day was "line of fire" from their Departure album, because the song includes a gunshot sound effect. When the song played live, the controlled explosive is so loud that it will bring the live audience to their feet! Do you have a favorite Journey song?

[@summermcpherson8209]

Mike Lopez Open Arms is my favorite. But I love Line of Fire too. Departure, Escape, and Frontiers are some of my favorite Journey albums.

[@mikelopez9817]

@@summermcpherson8209 Summer, those are great albums, my favorites are Infinity, Evolution, and Departure. Also, my favorite Journey line-up was when Greg Rolie and Steve Perry were both in Journey. I can't say I have a favorite song, I enjoy listening to these albums over and over very much.

[@DanielBobke]

As much as I love Escape and Frontiers and that explosive era of Journey, the Perry/Rolie era is my favorite. The music was much more blues rock-focused and their vocals really complemented each other. This is a rarely heard track from that era and one of the better album tracks from Departure. The 12-string sounds so cool on this song.

[@taigaa001]

Precious Time is my #1 favorite on Departure album. Live is great indeed.

That's simply awesome. A DEPARTURE song. Killer record!

[@bonanzajellybean3181]

[@PreferToBeAnonymous]

I think this was the absolute best lineup. Rolie’s voice and style added a whole different dimension. Cain is amazing, don’t get me wrong, but there’s something about these 5 together that made this the best Journey. And of course, Perry. Augeri was pretty good until his voice took a hit. Never cared much for Arnel. No one can beat or measure up to the true Perry vocal... cheesy as his stage moves may have been.

No idea why this song and "Lovin' You Is Easy" was left off the "Captured" live album. Could have easily replaced "Dixie Highway". I saw this show on 28 August 1980 and it was the best one of three Journey show's I've seen live, with the "Frontiers" tour second and "Raised On Radio" third.

I say that all the time...Gregg is not that tall (according to supposedly excellent sources ) He is supposed to be about 5'10 or so but he was broad, he usually wore heels, and the other guys in Journey were on the more petite size (for an adult male) so with that all combined it made Gregg look like a linebacker next to the others.

[@MrDeerboy123]

HMACDONALD69 I've met Steve Perry and Neal Schon and they are very petite. I couldn't believe how short Neal was.Gregg Rollie is about 5'10" or 5'11", just like you said.
