JOURNEY – The Frontiers Tour (2014)
Now this is one to treasure; Leftfield Media has just released “JOURNEY – The Frontiers Tour” on CD, a concert recorded during the presentation of Steve Perry & Co. most successful album, at the peak of their craft.
This is Journey at the top of their game, featuring 19 songs of which 13 come from 1981’s Escape disc and its follow up ’83s Frontiers.
The triple opening with “Chain Reaction”, “Wheel In The Sky” and “Line Of Fire’ is simply outstanding, then we have an emotive take on “Send Her My Love”, a rocking “Rubicon” and the superb “Lights”.
This is taken from a live FM broadcast, but the sound is great and raw, with no overdubs and a ‘real’ live feel.
“The Frontiers Tour” remains the highest grossing of any rock tour performed on American soil to date. It’s not only essential for fans of the band, but for any AOR aficionado.
If you dislike live records, get it anyway: there’s not unnecessary jams or talking here, just the songs played with fire.
