DVD Reviews of Journey - Live in Houston 1981, The Escape Tour
DVD Review: A Milestone in Journey's History
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually bought the CD+DVD version on accident from an FYE a few months back because I thought it was just the DVD only realizing that while I was in the car it was the CD/DVD collector's edition which made it more special. Pretty much if you read my Live in Houston CD review...here's a link ([...]) you know this was taken at the height of their popularity with the Escape album. The CD was an amazement on it's own because it gave me a feel for live Journey but listening only scratched the surface, this completely blew live Journey out for me. Considering that before I got this, I have never seen Journey live except for in videos on the internet but the quality wasn't like this. The video quality is still amazing for something that was recorded almost 30 years ago and the sound quality is better than the CD's quality but that's understandable. Speaking of the CD, the quality on this CD might be better than the individual CD that came out a year later but I think that's only because I stopped listening to my individual CD. The DVD contains lots of Extras such as a slide show, the original credits from the broadcast, a band interview, and the promo for Escape which was pretty cool to finally watch. This concert was recorded for the fledgling MTV and for awhile it was unavailable for the longest of times up until a few years back and now it is. If you like Journey or live concerts, this DVD/CD collection is for you. DVD Review: Only fair sound and video quality
Summary: 3 Stars
The published reviews of this concert disk claim overall good to excellent sound and video quality - I did not find this to be the case. The sound and video quality on my disk were only fair, and quite disapointing overall. If you intend to watch this on a system with high quality sound and video, you also may find this disk to be disappointing.DVD Review: Journey
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw Journey in concert last year (08)with their new singer. They where good but this video really shows what they where like with Steve Perry.
Needless to say I liked the video better. If your a fan of Journey I think this video is worth the money.
DVD Review: This is an awsome concert...
Summary: 5 Stars
I just recently purchased this DVD and never had the luxury of seeing Journey/Steve Perry when they were together, however, this DVD is amazing... and I am very thankful that they put it out for the fans that always loved their music but never got to see them live.
And btw, the more you watch it the better it gets. It is mesmerizing to say the least...

Media Type: DVD

Title: LIVE IN HOUSTON 1981: ESCAPE TOUR
Street Release Date: 11/15/2005
Genre: ROCK/POP
Filmed by a four month-old MTV and just days into the band's first number one album Escape, Journey is at their peak. The recent addition of FM-friendly keyboardist/co-songwriter Jonathan Cain (fresh from the Babys) proved to be the final addition that the constantly changing concept band would need to crash both radio and retail charts. The concert DVD shows rows of fans in the same red-sleeved concert jerseys getting their fill of the hits "Don't Stop Believin'," "Stone in Love," "Who's Crying Now," "Open Arms," "Anyway You Want It," "Wheel In The Sky," and "Lights." Stage-wise, there is very little in terms of visual style with the exception of a few rows of gel lights to move with the music and a pair of spotlights that move with unlikely idols Steve Perry and Neal Schon. In this day and age of MTV Video Music Awards and TRL it is difficult to understand how a band of thirty-somethings in hiked-up blue jeans easily delivered the ballads to break young girls' hearts and the glass-pack rock to fuel young boys' Firebirds.
The second DVD consists of upbeat interviews from the same period, a cheap trinket slideshow, and an Escape promo reel from back when those sorts of things were commonplace on networks. The interviews capture an optimistic band in the most favorable light they'd ever been in or ever would be in again. If you're looking for the dirty laundry drama on the fantastic ups and downs in the story of Journey you'll have to look elsewhere. This one is a collector's item of simpler times--a moment when the world of Journey was magic and everything was all right for those who thought music television was an odd concept. --Peter Hilgendorf
