Classic Journey

"Sure, Steve Perry is the singer. Sure its a live album and the production on it is good except for one thing. The entire album is a jumble of songs recorded at different locations, so it isn't the World Wide Live/Frampton Comes Alive disc for Journey fans. This is the one thing that bothered me, even though I think it is a great album, I don't like a fade in/out for each song. Keep in mind, this album is OLD - over 25 years old. It was also done at the beginning of the arena rock era. They were still figuring out what to do and how to do it.



Journey - the music, song choices, the whole journey sound - in fact, this album is very good. It is hard to find anything wrong with it, I've never been up on stage in front of thousands of fans and had to perform. Journey is one of those bands that helped make the 80s memorable, and this album is worth getting for the following reasons - overall, it is very good, the band is (still) popular, and the songs are ones you remember from the era if you grew up in it, and if you grew up later, you will hear a lot of the songs that others talk about so fondly (some of which get no airplay any longer, even on classic rock stations)."

Amazing CD heard in Austin

"It was so awesome to hear these great songs again. I was thinking in the back of my head, "They don't write this type of music any more". If you're stranded somewhere I hope you have this CD! Steve Perry, we need ya man!"
