Journey means so much more to me than just great music...I can recall when "Infinity" was first released in 1978, I was an awkward teen of 13....hated school, was bullied relentlessly...and can remember coming home from school, putting this album on my turntable and just listening over and over and over.....made my world a much better place. I saw Journey live several times in the early 80s and was lucky enough to meet them at the hotel after the show too! Will always love them!! 😍😍

[@laurallama73]

That’s beautiful, man. 💯what you said. Great music can actually sustain you through difficult times. Been there. Sustained that. ✌️❤️✨✨✨

[@geerterri]

I was 19 when infinity was released. It completely blew myself and my friends away. And we lived in the SF Bay Area that was filled with excellent musical artists. This was, also, the same year that Van Halen's debut album was released.

[@johnsuttoniiijs]

Steve hits B and G4s like most people whisper a name. The character to his voice and tone will never be heard again. This is one of the most gifted singers in all of recorded music history period. The technical expertise live however is second to none. The quality product he put out night after night for 13 years of constant touring will never be matched ever. Simply The Voice.

[@russellzauner]

You misspelled Paul Rodgers lol I think Steve should get stem cell treatments for his throat and work back up to it. It's the configuration of the parts that make the final instrument - nobody can sound like Steve even if they work forever because only Steve has Steve's throat. Ozzy is doing a LOT better now, maybe we can get back the tones. I am not being an ass, I want this back selfishly for me, new music played on a one of a kind instrument that can maybe now be fixed and polished back up.

The bass line in this song near the end is so underrated. They should have given Ross a little love in the video too.

[@janetmobilia8200]

They literally tossed him to the side.

[@kewkabe]

It really is. I play this on bass in a cover band and it's one of my favorites we do. How he hits notes just before the beat in the verse really propel the song. Then in the solos he does the main riff but up a fifth, which adds a really cool tension. So many guitar rock bassists just drone on the root because the guitars are so powerful and that's all they feel they can do, but Ross shows how you can keep it interesting and break through the mix.

[@maxwellhouse750]

@@kewkabe That’s nice to hear from somebody that knows. I have no music ability at all, but I could tell that bass line was special way back when I had the album on cassette.

[@1969EType]

This is simply the greatest song Journey ever wrote, recorded and performed. This was recorded in 1981. Back then, it was nearly impossible to replicate your studio sound live. Steely Dan famously broke up and stopped touring for 12 years which allowed technology to catch up to their sound and enabled them to take it mobile again in 1993. But, this Houston performance here by Journey (and it's available as an album) is the rare performance of this era of a band at the height of its prowess, cleanly and perfectly replicating their studio sound in concert.

[@newbielandvr6860]

Agreed. I'm amazed at how all the guitars sound like they're right off the album. They clearly had a team who knew what they were doing.

[@jimbotron70]

See it the other way round: studio sound was recorded without many technological embellishments, so when played back live is identical :) after all classic rock 'n roll sound is simple and straight (voice+guitar+bass+drums)

[@lindabergman3127]

They did😁

[@melaniegowin1273]

The only other band I've ever heard that sounded this good live is Halestorm.

[@Azabaxe80]

Although I'm not this band's biggest fan, they did write some songs that were part of the soundtrack of my youth. A couple of things that I notice here. First, everyone seems to be wireless. Given that the technology was less than 5 years old at the time, it's remarkable how well the band sounds. Second, Steve Smith, probably the most talented musician in this band, but still a ways away from his best, is already showing signs of greatness. A note about sounding like the record. I'm a huge Rush fan, and part of the allure seeing that band live was to see if they could play those complex arrangements well on stage. But I was more impressed with bands like U2 (who were just staring to take off at the time) whose live sound was vastly superior to their records'.

[@tamarapalmer929]

Steve Perry, the most recognizable voice in the history of rock. No one else can ever really reproduce the sound. People may try and copy him, and some do a damn good job, but they will never be him. All the people that try and remake his voice is just a testament to how good he and the band really were. They were the sound of their era. I bow to the masters!!!!!!!!!!! The kings!!!!!!!!!!

This was Live in Houston. Lover boy did not open for them. Bryan Adams just released Cuts Like a Knife and he opened for them and kicked their ass.

Scott Koepplin From Escape Tour Wikipedia: "The ​8 1⁄2-month tour took Journey through Japan and North America. Point Blank, Billy Squier, the Greg Kihn Bandand Loverboy were the opening acts during the tour." Maybe you're thinking of another tour? :)

While Journey was known more for Perry's incredible vocals & range, Schon's guitar playing I think was outstanding and, unfortunately, a bit of a "second fiddle" to the vocals, but it such a defining aspect of Journey's sound.

Why Stone in Love didn't chart higher and stay there longer is probably one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. Hell of a song, dare I say comparable/better than a lot of Journey's more well-known songs, like Send Her My Love, Wheel in the Sky, Separate Ways, Lights, Faithfully. This song should be in heavy rotation on "classic rock" formats everywhere.

Well, the sixties and seventies have something to say about that, but I take your point. The eighties taken as a whole was much more diverse than people give it credit for. It encompassed so many different styles, all of them great. You have "Journey" style holdover bands from the seventies, then you transition into the 80's new wave style, then hair metal, then grunge to close out the decade. The eighties get unfairly caricatured because of the over the top elements of hair metal, but it had amazing music, even a lot of the hair metal stuff itself was fantastic.
