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.

I am reliving my Journey addiction all over again. I grew up listening to them at their peak and now can relive those wonderful 80's days all over again. If you're not a Journey fan, you may very well be after you watch and listen to this. Steve Perry's soaring highs and unbelievable voice along with Schon's guitar and the band's magic together are captured very well here. I watch this often and turn it up! It's a wonder my house hasn't blown off the foundation - especially during an electric performance of "Don't Stop Believin'". Steve Perry put this together after all the years and it's just great!!!!

Excellent concert. Lots of my ole faves of Journey's from back when STeve Perry was part of the band.

Sure do miss Steve Perry as part of Journey. I don't feel it's Journey anymore without him.

I really like rocking out to this concert!

I bought this DVD because it was the first concert I ever attended. It primed my addiction to live music. I remembered it as one of the best concerts I'd ever attended. The DVD didn't let me down.

The quality -- both video and sound -- are great, especially considering that this concert took place 27 years ago. Journey was fired up that night and solidly in their prime. Unlike other bands in those years, these guys weren't stoned/wasted during the concert (either that or they managed to perform well even when stoned). Steve Perry's voice was clear and strong. Like most live music, the live versions of these songs are a bit different, but every bit as good as the studio versions. The sound in The Summit (the venue in Houston where they played) was full and balanced and the DVD sound delivers that quality, too.

Until someone invents time travel, watching the DVD is the next best thing to being there...less the post-concert ringing in your ears. If you were a Journey fan in those years (whether you'd admit it today or not!), you'll enjoy this DVD.

A wonderful addition to any Journey fans collection. I really miss the days of Steve Perry with Journey and it's dvd's like this one that keeps it alive!

if you are missing the good old days of really talented performers live then the Journey DVD delivers. It is from the early days of Journey, in the 1980s but they had great performances and songs and Steve Perry is in top form. Miss him today.

This is a must for all Journey fans. This was taped right before the show I attended in Denver Nov. 1981. It takes me right back to being 16 and at the hotest show in the U.S. at that time. It brings back the vividness of such a fond memory of an incredible show, and these guys were amazing! I am so grateful that Steve Perry decided to compilate this live performance, and make it available to all of us die hard Journey/Steve Perry fans. I also loved the interviews to learn the history of the members and how they all came together to form what I think was the only first class band of the 80's. What an incredible band, performance, and voice! Thanks for the memories that I will cherish over and over again!

A must have for any true Journey fan. Masterfully recrafted in digital quality for superior audio. Steve Perry is great and not hyped up on drugs as most 80's rockstars. My only wish is that I could find an early 90's one that included some other hits. Overall, great bang for your buck!

I've been big fan of Neal Schon since Journey became big due to their Escape album. Since then I've been an avid follower of Neal whichever band he plays with from HSAS to Bad English to Hardline to Soul Sirkus and to his solo projects. Having to own one of Journey's biggest tour DVD, The Escape tour is really a big part of my collection. All their hits on their Escape album were included in the DVD. Steve Perry is really tops on stage! This is a must-buy!
