Let me preface this by saying that I'm a huge Steve Perry fan and Neal Schon I consider one of my musical influences. I was excited about getting this blast from the past to add to my small collection of the Greatest Hits DVD and the 2001 DVD with Steve Augeri. What I learned about Augeri was that he can hit the notes but can't hit the heart of Steve Perry and the Houston DVD illustrates this after only a few songs. My only complaint about the DVD is the actual filming was very basic with only a few cameras, focusing mostly on Perry. The music is good and although a little light on the selection, all were performed well and refelected what Journey was about back in the early 80's. I'd say a must have for true Journey fans but don'y expect a hi-tech extravaganza. Don;t miss the extras, they include some great interviews with the boys. (they were in their late 20's, early 30;s in 81)Read full review
Very nice DVD,capture's the band At one of the most Popular moments in there career. Unfortunately, Journey get's a little sloppy on some of the Song's. Songs like Wheel In The Sky, And Anyway You Want It are Played Like there on a rollercoaster Ride at Disney World Much too fast Perry's Distinctive Sam Cookish Vocals make most of the songs Work well. However The Band At times sound's as if it's out of tune, especially Schon's Over the top Sloppy Guitar Playing on many of the songs. Light's and Stay Awhile are Beautiful R&B ballad's That Work well in a Rock Arena. Probably the two best song's Of the show.Instead of trying so hard to be a Rock metal band, Journey should've Concentrated More On Being a smooth live Act.Perry get's into a pattern Of screaming and yelling at times That kill's some songs and Schon tries to hard to be Eddie Van Halen. For Journey fan's in general, they should be pretty satisfied with this Show.Read full review
Love love love this DVD! I mean, Journey? Steve Perry? That beautiful man with the voice of an Angel, how can you go wrong. Well worth the money just to see his long silky hair dancing as he sings.

Has to be one of the greatest bands, not to mention the amazing voice of Steve Perry. I love that they made this DVD of their live performance. The picture quality is great and sound is remarkable. I recommend this one for your collection. Two thumbs up!

Journey is my All Time Favorite Roch band (with Steve Perry of Course) Journey Concerts have always been recorded in a way that makes you feel as though You're in the front row. Journey was the Leader back in the early 80's with technology others were dreaming of as far as lighting and sound goes. I've never been to a bad Journey Show! I saw this show back in 81' when they Played Atlanta! It's really nice to re-visit those days! I've had the pleasure of watching Journey Live in Concert six times and this DVD is probably one of my all time favorite Journey Tours. Raised on Radio is a very close second, however, without Steve Smith & Ross Valory it just wasn't the same as when this particular group of Guys were together! This DVD has the "Real" Journey! Everything before and every line up of players since hasn't compared to the line-up in this DVD until this band reunited for one last Album and never toured! To me, this is a Treasure. Before this DVD went on sale I was thinking how nice it would be to have a complete Journey Show on Video instead of the Greatest Hits Video (that I also loved, just not nearly as much as this one). Journey couldn't have picked a better show to release. I'm sure Steve Perry Masterminded the deal. If I had one show and one show only that I could keep in my arsenal of old 80's concert videos this would be the one! I watch it at least once a week! I plug the audio into my sterio & sit down to what I know is going to be the best show in town! I'm sure you've figured out by now that I am a Journey Fan and this Group is the Group I have always considered to be "The Group" . Things simply aren't and never will be the same without Steve Perry! Steve Perry is "Journey" Without him the band is like a tribute band. I'm definitely not saying Neal & Jonathan aren't talented, it's just, I think after "Journey", they would have done better to go their Seperate Ways. This way, a reunion tour may have one day been possible. I did hear Steve Perry made a guest appearance at one of their shows and the Place sold out. People are dying for that Magical Sound the Group had when filming this Video! If You're a true blue Journey Fan as I am, This Concert Video is a must Have! Thank You for Asking "my Opinion" RoxanneRead full review
