5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing energy and songs--GREAT live album!, October 2, 2002

By

This review is from: Captured (Audio CD)

This is a classic live album by my all-time favorite rock band. It includes many of the band's classics from their three successive classic rock albums "Infinity" (1978), "Evolution" (1979), and "Departure" (1980). Needless to say for any true Journey fan, these songs sound great live.

Many of these performances go far beyond the studio versions. Take the jam that comes out of "Walks Like A Lady"--a 3-minute song that turns into 7 minutes live. Songs like "Line Of Fire", "Feeling That Way", "Anytime", and "Wheel In The Sky" absolutely rock. The inclusion of the live track "Dixie Highway" and the new (at the time of release) studio track "The Party's Over (Hopelessly In Love) are also fantastic.

This is what a live album should be. The crowd is very prevalent throughout the album, and the interaction between the band and the crowd is left unedited in many spots. Clearly, this band was as special live as they were on their studio albums. (They still are, by the way, as I just saw the current lineup at "The Big E" in Massachusetts on September 29th--their last show of this year's tour.) This is a fantastic live album of some of the best classic rock of a generation. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Rock Masterpiece, April 23, 2000

This review is from: Captured (Audio CD)

Before the days of Top Ten ballads and love songs, Journey was a stadium rock juggernaut. Selling out the largest arenas across the country and world wide, they were among the best in the business at delivering high energy rock and roll.

While most of the record industry was jumping on the disco bandwagon during the late 70's, Journey released three fantastic classic rock albums -- Infinity, Evolution and Departure. Though they didn't receive the same fanfare as some of the band's later works (Escape or Frontiers for example), or the works of their contemporaries at the time (Kansas, Boston and Genesis), these trio of records rank among the best music recorded during that era.

The aptly titled "Captured" is a fantastic encapsilation of the band at their peak -- huge crowds, excellent music, amazing talent and tons of energy. While the album clearly has the polish of studio overdubs, it's still an incredible demonstration of indiviual talent and musical harmony that existed in the band at the time.

If your are a fan of 70s classic rock, and want an excellent companion to Cheap Trick's "Live at Budakon" or Peter Framton's "Comes Alive", I highly recommend "Captured".

4.0 out of 5 stars Journey - 'Captured' (Sony), July 27, 2005

This review is from: Captured (Audio CD)

Originally released in 1981,this seventeen track live album(duration:70 minutes)came out following the release and tour of their 'Departure' lp.So,it's material draws from that effort as well as their 'Evolution' and 'Infinity' lp's.As for a live album,it's pretty good.I'd JUST seen the revamped Journey line-up play at a live concert,and rest assure that vocalist Steve Perry's replacement Steve Augeri fits in really well.When I heard the soundcheck,from outside the outdoor venue,I honestly thought there for a moment,that,"Hey I didn't know Steve Perry was back in the band".Of course,I had a rather pleasant wake-up call a few minutes later.All the radio-friendly songs you remember are here,like "Just The Same Way","Lights","Too Late","Feeling That Way","Anytime","Walks Like A Lady","Wheels In The Sky" and "Anyway You Want It".Great arena rock CD reissue.I've always sort of tagged them as 'glossy pop'.
