Journey - Journey (1975)

Re: Journey ~ Journey Debut (1975)

Schon is very talented. Rolie has a knack for the keys, too.

Now that Journey is coming out with a new album, it would be nice to see them revisit their roots instead of Vamping up their hard rock edge.

They tried to revisit their roots during their 30th Anniversary tour during the first set. They played Of A Lifetime and a few others from the early days and the greatest hits/ballad fans bitched and complained about it. They are at it again regarding Eclipse. I love the pre Perry records and I think Eclipse is brilliant.

I remember reading about the moans and groans, there was also talk of a dvd release.

Just had a look at the set list and some great songs were played on this tour.

I'd love a dvd from that tour. I looked forward to hearing those old tunes. Augeri played a Telecaster during those old songs which surprised me. Didn't know he played.

Fantastic album. I couldn't seriously say I was a fan of Journey until I heard the pre Perry stuff. Cool review.

I too have this album, I like it, not heard it in a while so will give it a listen soon

I always thought this was a very good album spoiled by weak vocals. The arrival of Steve Perry meant they had a great singer, but they changed their style. Does anyone know which is the best of Neil Schon's solo albums?

I discovered late in the game. But this really is a great album. Like the music a lot on this release
