New York, NY (Top40 Charts) On February 7, 2017, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers
Journey proved their status as one of rock's best live bands when they brought their landmark albums Escape (just in time for its 35th anniversary) and Frontiers to the legendary Budokan stage in Japan. Eagle Rock Entertainment/Universal Music, proudly presents this concert when
Journey - Live In Japan 2017: Escape + Frontiers is released on DVD, Blu-ray, DVD+2CD and Blu-ray+2CD on March 29.
A triumphant evening of music,
Journey presented songs from 1981's Escape and 1983's Frontiers. These albums produced eight Top 40 singles combined, have sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide, and cemented the San Francisco band's music in the cultural zeitgeist.
Kicking off the 2-hour set with "Don't Stop Believin''',
Journey presented a set not just of their hits, but deep album cuts like Escape's "
Lay It Down" and Frontiers' "Back Talk", which haven't been played live since the albums' original touring cycles. The concert, presented with a minimal stage set, without big extravagant light shows or monitors, lets the music do the talking. The spectacular musicianship of Neal Schon (founder/guitarist), Jonathan Cain (keyboardist), Ross Valory (bassist), Steve Smith (drummer), and Arnel Pineda (lead vocals) shines on famed hits like "
Open Arms", "Who's Crying Now", "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" and "
Faithfully",
A fantastic representation of the band's legacy, Live In Japan 2017: Escape + Frontiers showcases the enduring impact of
Journey and these songs.
