This song and the speed and clarity with which Schon plays it was the precursor to the power guitar instrumental style popularized by Joe Satriani in such albums as Surfing with the Alien. A great listen!
Time for an expanded Journey "Captured" CD with Kohoutek, Of A Lifetime, People and Places and other gems from the back catalogue recorded on this tour!!!!!
Yes. Always thought Of a Lifetime should have fit the space on Captured that Dixie Highway (great song btw) occupied. Album would be more relevant today.

I remember from my Astronomy class, that Kohoutek was anticipated to be bigger than Haley's Comet. Upon its arrival, Kohoutek was revealed to be a dud. How ironic. Listen to Dunbar on the studio versions of Kohoutek and Topaz for some mindblowing dynamic drumming.
Wheeee! Just about wore out the vinyl when it came out and certainly wore out my Journey welcome with my roommates at CU. This album and Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow hugely influenced my musical tastes going forward. Thanks Journey!
So, all you guys who think Steve Perry ruined the band......what has Neal done with his band in their years since they moved on without him? Is he making music like this? NO.The closest he came was Eclipse, and it was not a big seller. Face it, most fans loved the band when Steve was the front man. Not that this not a fantastic song, just not enough people buying it, and in the music business, it's all about the numbers.
+Dale Moar thats your opinon,eclipse! dont you see it! no moore cd-LPs,in sale!(almost),steve is blunt,neal is the band,and he has running it for like 40 years! man,maybe steve once come back?! solo project on now! but you gotha understand! music is today,and a band plays what there feeling! today.
FUCK THE DAYUM NUMBERS....MILES DID'NT PLAY BY NUMBERS...ITS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE FUCKING MONEY...THATS WHAT RUINS INTEGRITY OF A MUSICIAN......ITS ABOUT THE FUCKING MUSIC...AND IF NOT WE WOULD NOT BE LISTENING TO THIS SONG RIGHT NOW BUT WE ARE...SO YOU MAKE ALOT OF MONEY AND THEN YOU BECOME A CRACK HEAD OR AN ADDICT....THEN WHAT DOES YOUR MONEY DO....
steve really didnt ''ruin'' the band himself perse...either producer or someone made the decision to go in another direction...but that direction went so fucking POP...(sure they made hits (YAWNING) it was just bad news for those fans who knew the first 3 journey albums...and the fusion sound they carried....just amazing at the asshole 'pop' fans who have no fucking clue about journeys first 3 albums...thats what get me...and the musician ship that went into them...
Months later, the band completed its most saccharine lineup with the addition of Jonathan Cain after Gregg Rolie, tired of the road and the musical direction of the band, decided to retire. Journey's next album, Escape, reached No. 1 on the charts with such "classics" as Open Arms, Don't Stop Believing, and Who's Crying Now. Perry and Schon quickly forged a musical partnership, leaning towards ballads such as Open Arms and the pussification of guitar solos such as the one in Who's Crying Now.
Live versions on Who’s Crying Now are much better for that reason. I believe I read at one point that Neal insisted on adding that solo at the end of the song since Perry just wanted to leave it as more of a ballad. That’s really what made the song for me. Open Arms is a letdown for the lack of any instrumental portions.
Actually people, Journey was on the radio all the time here in the Bay Area during the pre-Perry days on 92.3 KSJO and 98.5 KOME! They were practically the house band at Winterland in San Francisco from 1973 to 1977! I seen 'em several times a year during that period!
YEP AND I HEARD THEM BACK IN THE DAY ON THE RADIO AS WELL...SO THEY GOT AIR PLAY IN DETROIT...BUT GOT DAYUM THEY WERE NOT A POP BAND GOT DAMMIT...KING CRIMSON WASN'T EITHER BUT THEY PLAYED IT OUT...AS WELL AS SO MANY OTHER BANDS...WHAT ARE YOU SAYING GO POP OR DROP....IT AINT ALWAYS ABOUT THE FUCKING MONEY...
I love how this songs allows for Steve Smith and Neal Schon to have simultaneous solos. Just learned Smith rejoined Journey in 2017. So obvious he is a schooled drummer. His snare and double bass technique is impeccable even at this early date.
Yes, yes, very nice....check out Kohoutek - 5/26/74 - Winterland on this very medium....the drummer´s name is Aynsley Dunbar...from Scotland, I believe, or is it just the town ?
At that time the Japanese video and sound engineers were about the best in the world. It is so telling that many of the great live videos for many groups were recorded in Europe and Japan. In the US serious capture of live performances was lacking.
Nothing against Arnel, but Journey desperately needs to go back to a 4-piece group, or at least drop the whole 'front-man thing'. They've already had their fame and success, heck, they're in the RnRHF for crying out loud. They need to go back to this style where they focused on the music rather than record sales.
Oh why did they not head to Europe then, where their immense talents would of been highly appreciated, and the Na Na's and La La's would never occurred and even more talent growth would of been allowed to blossom? What a shame artistically speaking
i can't believe this is the same band which recorded "Separate ways". Totally different style than 80s pop rock they are known for, more in the jazz-fusion category similar to Mahavischnu Orchestra
I always wondered if they still played their pre-Steve Perry insrtumental stuff live when Steve Perry was in the band--now I have my answer. Wonder what Steve Perry was doing during the performance--he had two choices, I guess: Goof around on stage dancing with a tambourine in his hand while they play, or use the time to make out with a groupie backstage? I'm guessing he did the latter!
It's too bad that we can't hear Schon's octave divider pedal. I had a tape of the Westwood One broadcast recording of this show. It must have been a different "tap" of the board mix because you could hear Neal's octave divider much better. I think he was splitting a dry cab and an effects cab. I'm pretty sure it was from the same night because the feedback notes are the same.
Steve Smith and Steve Perry were not in the band in 74 or 75. Aynsley Dunbar would still be in the band, George Tickner would be playing rhythm guitar.
As good as Steve Smith is, he's no Dunbar, Aynsley smokes on the original and live versions of this track with a much better groove too, especially during Schon's solo. Interesting how the version here is slowed down a bit. .
I saw them open up for Emerson Lake and Palmer in 1976. This is when Journey could Rock. Progressive rock and fusion before Steve the fairy Perry came along and ruined it😢
This tour seems to be a transition between old/original Journey, more progressive, jam session, orignal influences and the «new« Steve Perry, more melodic, voice centered Journey. Interesting.
Yeah pry86, i like them to but everyone knows before Steve Perry, they couldt' get on the radio. Herbie will telll u that! With Perry as there front man it brought Journey into new dimension With Perry, Valory, Schon, Smith as a whole that's what put Journey on the map. But maybe u r too young to remember this, or u haven't done your Journey homework!1
Good thing Rush didn't have Herbie then isn't it, no bubble gum form them, EVER. Were in the exact same situation as Journey, but told management to stick it up their A%^. Journey never go their 2112 et al. moment. Thanks Herbie
What did Perry do before or after Journey on HIS own dope. NOTHING...he is just another singer without those top shelf musicians behind him. The music definitely took a nose dive after Rollie left. I will take him over Perry any day of the week.
As far as I can tell a representative of the record company told the band the next album needed to sell better ( reach at least a million units ) or they'd get dropped. So what else could they have done? Then, when Rolie left he recommended to the band that they get Cain to replace him. Some of you people have so much anger, needing someone to blame, for stuff that happened over 40 years ago that isn't even a true tragedy.
They could of done what Rush did, but then again, at least Rush's record company pushed the hell out of 2112, which Journey's reps never did, nor have them do long tours in Europe where this incarnation, could of opened for Gentle Giant, Hawkwind etc , then played smaller venues, and been in their pocket and where they would of been far more appreciated.
THE master NEAL SCHON,! malmsteen! Said ! on fc,you are a first class gay, and a hell off a guitarist!, NEAL has soo many rock friends! and he`s being there fore ever..
I have first 3 Journey albums, they are the only ones I like. Journey went from a progressive rock band to a pop band not after Gregg Rolie left. Jonathan Cain was from the pop group The Babys. First album with Steve perry was ok , he shared singing with Gregg Rolie.
@@richardjames7382 Listen to Dream After Dream from 1981 only released in Japan, as it would of bombed in N America, the teenyboppers would of rebelled. Rolie's last album.
@@TheTayedrums Have you tried their Dream After Dream soundtrack from the Japanese Movie of the same name. It is the only thing with Perry that is not pop, etc., and why they never released it in North America as the teeny boppers would of lost their minds. It is "out there"
This was Back when Journey showed the real musical talent of each member and then came some guy named steve perrry who ( with their management ) took all this talent away and went commercial and made lots of money,,,,I prefer the old ( original ) Journey...NOT Steve Perry,,,but, that's just my opinion...
Todd Stevens I was talking about the band, not individual members. I agree Gregg has gone to play great music, just not with Journey. With me, music is all about the voice, so the original 3 albums of fusion, with endless guitar solos, do not really interest me, other than the fact that Neal plays an awesome guitar. I prefer my rock music to have lyrics, and a great voice to sing them. Each to their own.
That is not "rock" Dale, it is "pop" music, and I agree to each their own. So I take it then that since instrumentation is of no interest to you, you must enjoy the Bieber's and the Spier's then. Next, why on earth would you be seeking out anything from Journey's first 3 albums, and absolutely do not check out their Dream after Dream album, which has Steve Perry singing,. Just do not due it, it will underwhelm you, although it is Journey's finest hour with Perry involved.
I have the Dream after Dream album, and I like it, although not as much as their other albums. Steve Perry has a voice that can make me stop and listen, no matter what he sings. I have nothing against instrumentation, and Journey does it very well, but as I said, it's the voice that makes me come back for more. And no, I'm not a Beiber fan, his voice is nothing special, IMHO.
I don't get why the first three albums keep getting referenced as being dominated by guitar solos. There's a greater focus on instruments with less lyrics to get in the way, but much of that sounds the same to me as it would if a voice was singing the melody instead of an instrument. And there were only three songs without vocals, anyway, so it's not like very few songs had them. The song here, "Kohoutek", is one of the only ones where a song exists to serve a solo; in most cases, the solo serves the song. Pretty much any other case where it's just a solo is at the end of a song.
What has Perry done before or after Journey? That us right..Nothing! But get fat as hell! He would have remained a nobody on the chicken farm (where Journey plucked him from) in Hanford, were it not for those world class musicians. If he was soooo great all by himself, why had he given up on music and was shoveling shit on his step dads chicken farm?
They already had a great voice..Greg's voice..in the r&rhf twice...with Santana and Journey...so is Schon. They did not need anything..just more exposure.

Why doesn't Journey rock like this anymore. Best album by far
They do and always have with the exception of ROR. Which was a Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain project, not a Journey album.
Also, listen to Eclipse
Watch my Neal Schon’s Journey Through Time videos. I posted all of the numbers from the first three albums.
They had a completely different lineup when recording this album.
Way better than the Stevie cookie-cutter journney
Steve Smith was a jazz fusion monster and on this tune look how happy he is vs on later pop songs.
duhhh of course he can jack off and play when perry is singing
Ainsley Dunbar original drummer's Journey
is a thousand times better.
@@padovaniroland You've got that right ! Once Aynsley left, I lost interest in the band, and I was a HUGE fan until then.
@@padovaniroland They are both awesome.
@@chrisb8655 Not at all...Ainsley Dunbar is more innovative , soul and energy in his playing.

incredibly smoking hot the good old days I really miss the real journey!!!
all this is missing is the original drummer.
pryt86 yeah we Miss Aynsley Dunbar on the skins for sure! Steve Smith's pretty good though!
@@pryt86 he means the essence of prog Journey, all this was lost when Perry comes to made a Pop band
first 3 albums were the cream, what came after was sad. this live version is utterly unreal!!
@@pryt86 ..and the original rhythm guitarist.
This was dream theaters influence from 1980. Amazing ❤
Time for an expanded Journey "Captured" CD with Kohoutek, Of A Lifetime, People and Places and other gems from the back catalogue recorded on this tour!!!!!
Yes. Always thought Of a Lifetime should have fit the space on Captured that Dixie Highway (great song btw) occupied. Album would be more relevant today.

Lovin You is Easy was a regular song on the Departure tour set. Never understood why they included Do You Recall instead of it.

Exactly.
That's the beauty of Journey, their versatility and their ability to play any genre. They did it better than any other 'AOR' band.

the real journey...brings back days of Steve Smith playing with Jean Luc Ponte
The solo! Ahh, it's fuckin' insannneee! I think I see smoke billowing out of the guitar by the end of it.
Pretty neat song !!! I love Topaz, first song I heard without Perry and it was awesome!! I do like Perry though and agree he has an awesome voice.

Steve Smith is a pro, but he ain't no Ansley Dunbar!!
Yes Dunbar on Wheel in the sky live performances he was stronger than Smith.
Not in this genre, now if you were doing Jazz, the opposite is true. It is what it is better at some, not as good at others...

Film editors, take note: nobody wants to watch the bass player, either his playing or his face, during an epic, solo by the guitarist.
Thanks a lot for uploading, fantastic performance, yes the later Journey wasn't bad, just too sweet, but the girls liked them too, later.

It's too bad that we can't hear Schon's octave divider pedal. I had a tape of the Westwood One broadcast recording of this show. It must have been a different "tap" of the board mix because you could hear Neal's octave divider much better. I think he was splitting a dry cab and an effects cab. I'm pretty sure it was from the same night because the feedback notes are the same.
You forgot Aynsley Dunbar. Smith did not join until after 'Wheel In The Sky'.
Steve Smith joined Journey on the Evolution album.
@@petermcallister8489 'Wheel In The Sky' was off of 'Infinity' which came out before 'Evolution'.
@@synthonaplinth5980 why are you telling me stuff I already know? Dunbar played on the Infinity album. Steve Smith did not.
@@petermcallister8489 Okay, apologies. Your previous comment did not state that.
Lets get these years right , I am not so sure but this is 74 or 75
Steve Smith and Steve Perry were not in the band in 74 or 75. Aynsley Dunbar would still be in the band, George Tickner would be playing rhythm guitar.
Yeah Greg Rollie, Steve Perry sitting out on this early song.Just got done starting the the new year off with some Journey,thanks.
One of the only pre-1978 selections the band had covered in the group's early successful period. Kudos to Gregg Rolie, of course!
This is 1980
The year of this concert is... but the original album this song was released on was from 1975.
As good as Steve Smith is, he's no Dunbar, Aynsley smokes on the original and live versions of this track with a much better groove too, especially during Schon's solo. Interesting how the version here is slowed down a bit. .
Smith is an infinitely better drummer than Dunbar. He knows the value of space, silence and timing. Whereas Dunbar does not, he was always too loud.
@METALkid614 no, there was no smoke. I was there, it simply melted. ;-D
I saw them open up for Emerson Lake and Palmer in 1976. This is when Journey could Rock. Progressive rock and fusion before Steve the fairy Perry came along and ruined it😢
the real journey...steve smith was right on with Ansley's licks...
Except that Steve used a double kick where Aynsley used a single.
Sorry Steve is not Aynsley...and Aynsley is not Steve. Album version.
Indeed Steve for Jazz and Blues, Aynsley for Rock of all styles.
This tour seems to be a transition between old/original Journey, more progressive, jam session, orignal influences and the «new« Steve Perry, more melodic, voice centered Journey. Interesting.
Schon is a fucking monster....add in Steve Smith, one of the greatest drummers in history..what a shame Perry ruined this band in '86/
Yeap it is a real shame.
Get your facts straight -- Schon ruined Journey. End of story.
artdrtr2 Explain, please.
artdrtr2 lol you are dead wrong. Do research before saying stuff that isnt true
pryt86 Let's hear him explain his point of view first. I want to hear this!
Yeah pry86, i like them to but everyone knows before Steve Perry, they couldt' get on the radio. Herbie will telll u that! With Perry as there front man it brought Journey into new dimension With Perry, Valory, Schon, Smith as a whole that's what put Journey on the map. But maybe u r too young to remember this, or u haven't done your Journey homework!1
Good thing Rush didn't have Herbie then isn't it, no bubble gum form them, EVER. Were in the exact same situation as Journey, but told management to stick it up their A%^. Journey never go their 2112 et al. moment. Thanks Herbie
What did Perry do before or after Journey on HIS own dope. NOTHING...he is just another singer without those top shelf musicians behind him. The music definitely took a nose dive after Rollie left. I will take him over Perry any day of the week.
As far as I can tell a representative of the record company told the band the next album needed to sell better ( reach at least a million units ) or they'd get dropped. So what else could they have done?
Then, when Rolie left he recommended to the band that they get Cain to replace him.
Some of you people have so much anger, needing someone to blame, for stuff that happened over 40 years ago that isn't even a true tragedy.
They could of done what Rush did, but then again, at least Rush's record company pushed the hell out of 2112, which Journey's reps never did, nor have them do long tours in Europe where this incarnation, could of opened for Gentle Giant, Hawkwind etc , then played smaller venues, and been in their pocket and where they would of been far more appreciated.
so good!
#simplythebest
What a monster band huh !!
Ross Valerie , such a character 😅
Whats Guitar use neal?
THE master NEAL SCHON,! malmsteen! Said ! on fc,you are a first class gay, and a hell off a guitarist!, NEAL has soo many rock friends! and he`s being there fore ever..
Schon was a BEAST
I have first 3 Journey albums, they are the only ones I like. Journey went from a progressive rock band to a pop band not after Gregg Rolie left. Jonathan Cain was from the pop group The Babys. First album with Steve perry was ok , he shared singing with Gregg Rolie.
Totally agree, the 3 first are the only one' sworth having (in my humble opinion)
Well can't blame all the Baby's who played in Journey. One is/was/is again, a kick ass musician.
Gregg was still in the band for 3 more albums after Steve Perry joined in 1977.
I have first 3 albums
@@richardjames7382 Listen to Dream After Dream from 1981 only released in Japan, as it would of bombed in N America, the teenyboppers would of rebelled. Rolie's last album.
Soooo, FNnnnn Rocks!!!!!!!
KOHOUTEK!!!!!! KOHOUTEK!!!!!!
If you like jam Journey, with guitar leads longer than 20 seconds, watch my videos of Neal Schon’s Journey Through Time.
On Captured, journey should have omitted Dixie highway and put either this one or of a lifetime.
Dunbar is superior.
Good stuff here fuck that popular shit
The great Aynsley Dunbar on drums he even gave Carl Palmer a run for his money But ultimately the great Carl Palmer wins out😊
This was Steve Smith on drums, Aynsley was on the Album, but had left by this point, as he didn't want to have to choke out Steve Perry.
@@toddstevens13 and of course you're right I didn't realize at first this was 1980 I saw him in 1975 open up for ELP. My bad hahaha
briljant !!!!!!!
Thrash + doom before invented.
what a machine
Amazing song from amazing musicians before they completely sold themselves out.
pryt86 This type of song would have meant an early end to the Journey story. Fortunately that story includes ALL iterations of a great band.
WTF MAN....JOURNEY MUTHERFUCKING ROCKS THIS SONG....
Welcome to the real Journey "Tay", enjoy.
@@toddstevens13 all i every knew was the first 3 albums..(wink!) very enjoyable..thx
@@TheTayedrums Have you tried their Dream After Dream soundtrack from the Japanese Movie of the same name. It is the only thing with Perry that is not pop, etc., and why they never released it in North America as the teeny boppers would of lost their minds. It is "out there"
Soooo, FU$&@ Rocks
Dunbars touch of ZAPPA!!!
Young Bruce Springsteen with toupee wearing a jumpsuit? Looks ridiculous but sounds great!
Mico Wikström Springsteen sucks! He sounds like he is vomiting when he sings.
Bruce Springsteen WISHES he could play like this.
It's called overalls dumbass! I can tell you have never been out of the city wimp!
Seen this journey live twice... Neil, Gregg ,Ansley and Ross. Steve Perry sucks net commercial the first three albums are Perry Free!
Too bad they sucked after this
This was Back when Journey showed the real musical talent of each member and then came some guy named steve perrry who ( with their management ) took all this talent away and went commercial and made lots of money,,,,I prefer the old ( original ) Journey...NOT Steve Perry,,,but, that's just my opinion...
Todd Stevens I was talking about the band, not individual members. I agree Gregg has gone to play great music, just not with Journey. With me, music is all about the voice, so the original 3 albums of fusion, with endless guitar solos, do not really interest me, other than the fact that Neal plays an awesome guitar. I prefer my rock music to have lyrics, and a great voice to sing them. Each to their own.
That is not "rock" Dale, it is "pop" music, and I agree to each their own. So I take it then that since instrumentation is of no interest to you, you must enjoy the Bieber's and the Spier's then. Next, why on earth would you be seeking out anything from Journey's first 3 albums, and absolutely do not check out their Dream after Dream album, which has Steve Perry singing,. Just do not due it, it will underwhelm you, although it is Journey's finest hour with Perry involved.
I have the Dream after Dream album, and I like it, although not as much as their other albums. Steve Perry has a voice that can make me stop and listen, no matter what he sings. I have nothing against instrumentation, and Journey does it very well, but as I said, it's the voice that makes me come back for more. And no, I'm not a Beiber fan, his voice is nothing special, IMHO.
I don't get why the first three albums keep getting referenced as being dominated by guitar solos. There's a greater focus on instruments with less lyrics to get in the way, but much of that sounds the same to me as it would if a voice was singing the melody instead of an instrument. And there were only three songs without vocals, anyway, so it's not like very few songs had them. The song here, "Kohoutek", is one of the only ones where a song exists to serve a solo; in most cases, the solo serves the song. Pretty much any other case where it's just a solo is at the end of a song.
What has Perry done before or after Journey? That us right..Nothing! But get fat as hell! He would have remained a nobody on the chicken farm (where Journey plucked him from) in Hanford, were it not for those world class musicians. If he was soooo great all by himself, why had he given up on music and was shoveling shit on his step dads chicken farm?
They already had a great voice..Greg's voice..in the r&rhf twice...with Santana and Journey...so is Schon. They did not need anything..just more exposure.
Not nearly as good without Aynsley Dunbar
Meh! Grown past this .
Drugs don't add a thing.
