Journey Album: “Live in Houston 1981: The Escape Tour [DVD]”

If you were a Jouney fan back when, then you're gonna squeal over this. I saw this show in the Summit back in '81. The Summit is now a church! This is Steve on all cylinders. He was THE man at that time and Journey was on top. It's not hard to see why. They did a really good job with the dvd as far as video and sound quality. It will exceed your expectations. No brainer. Buy it!!

Definitely a must for Journey fans.Great sound,great interviews and great being able to put faces to the great music on this dvd.A good mixture of both rock and softer tracks for you music lovers.Crank it up and enjoy.

Journey, Live from Houston 81' was made in the infancy of MTV and at the pinnacle of Journey's success. This is a highly anticipated release that will be a wonderful addition to any Music Video Libary. Whether you are a seasoned Journey fan or just jumped on the bandwagon recently, you have GOT to get this DVD. It is one, if not, the best concert that Journey (with Steve Perry) ever performed. Journey, Live from Houston is a Get it now DVD!!!

My sincere thanks to Steve Perry for producing this wonderful DVD/CD.I have so many special memories of the Perry era. I had this concert on beta years ago, taped off MTV.This concert on DVD is a masterpiece. The sound and picture are supreme ,you feel like YOU ARE THERE and all the extras are icing on the cake. It is a celebration!!!! You will have fun watching this concert! For me personally, Journey and Steve Perry's music are part of the soundtrack of my life... got me through high school, marriage, the birth of my child, divorce, falling in love again, deaths of loved ones...all the major milestones and lifes ups and downs ....I only wish Mr. Perry ( "The voice") would come back...his talent, passion and emotion on stage are SO rare!!! We miss him so much and wish him the best....hope there is more where this came from. I would buy it in a heartbeat.

This is the valid lineup of Journey. Steve Perry is at his finest. The control of his voice is quite sensational. I recently read an interview with him and and he mentioned that working on the post production of this DVD was very challenging from an emotional standpoint especially since the band has now went on without him. It was also interesting to note Steve's view of his vocals from that period. He was surprised of his voice during this concert and how he was able to hit certain notes, nuances without realizing it.

Steve has gone on to live his life as he sees it now. The distance gives even more curiosity and examination into the Journey Band that he was a apart of. Also, I listened to Trial By Fire recently, (Last Journey Album with Steve), and there are again some brilliant moments on that as well.
