JOURNEY
Next Karma [Gypsy Eye 077, 1CD]
Live at the Tower Theatre, Upper Darby, PA; March 24, 1978 (incomplete show?). Very good SB/FM.
Thanks to Bootradr for sharing the tracks at Dime.
Bootradr’s notes:
This is one of my first silver CD Journey shows I got many years ago and it’s from when Steve Perry was still very new in the band. He even gets introduced (a few songs in and when he finally starts singing) as the new member of the band.
One thing I really love about the 1978-1981 Journey live shows is how the band would play songs from before they had Steve Perry, songs that Gregg Rolie normally sang alone on, and they’d implement some harmony with Perry and Rolie singing. It really brought those songs to a new life in my opinion. The band really did this most often between 1978 and 1979 too. Songs that were officially released on earlier Journey albums (not live of course) and never got recorded (in a studio) with Steve Perry also singing on them makes them very unique.
This is a great recording, and even though there is no mention of it being an FM radio broadcast, collectors over the years have confirmed it is. The sound is not perfect, but it is still great. And once you get to “Wheel In The Sky”, you may notice the audio gets better. It is almost as if Dolby noise reduction was turned on throughout the show’s recording and then turned off (you normally do not want to use Dolby NR). I’m not saying that’s the case in this recording but it does represent what it sounds like to me.
I may be wrong and I’ll have to double check my information, but this may be Steve Perry’s first live recording/show with Journey too. I just looked at my list and this is definitely the first show I have with Perry on vocals.
