Summary: JOURNEY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Very impressive dvd! It was comical watching how energetic and enthousiastic Steve Perry was running across the stage. The lighting was really crisp and clean and set the mood for the songs. This DVD includes all major hits with some exceptions like Ask the lonely, Chain Reaction, Only the Young, and Rubicon. Cant wait until the dvd comes out! Hopefully the raised on radio broadcast will be released! Steve Please sing again YOU ROCK AND ARE A TRUE LEGEND!

Summary: Journey On...
Review: As a longtime fan who only recently became a hardcore fanatic, I can say that this DVD is a true must-have for all Journey fans. It covers all of the years that Steve Perry was with the band. The music is always excellent, and the video quality the same. It's great to see the fashion, too... especially on Steve Perry, who wore some interesting getups. My main disappointment is that the studio version of Any Way You Want It was omitted in favor of a live Escape version. Other than that, I watch this DVD all the time and I love it! You may think they're cheese, but Journey rocks. Give this DVD a chance.

Summary: Music Videos & Live Performances
Review: I don't understand how one veiwer gave this DVD 3 stars because it wasn't all "live". No where on the package does it mislead you. To alot of Journey fans like myself, this is an awesome package to get all of Journey's videos, some never seen before on MTV. Many of the live cuts are the actual clips that were shown on MTV back in the day when MTV was a music video channel. Thank God for VH1's new digital channel "VH1 Classic" They have shown some of the lesser seen videos like "Just The Same Way". I wondered, why don't they put out a collection of these cool videos...whata ya know! Here it is! Sounding great too. This really makes you crave the original Journey line-up. The first time I saw Journey live was the "Evolution" tour and was lucky enough to get back stage passes and meet the guys. This was Journey at their most magical in my opinion.
They went on to replace Greg Rollie for Johnathan Cain who changed the feel to a more radio friendly "Journey". Not that that was bad, it was part of the "evolution". To me though, Steve Perry is the most missing in today's line-up. I have all their CD's right up to the last ep "Red 13" which isn't bad but isn't like the ole Journey.
Fans of Journey will love this DVD! They took the time to make this collection look and sound great! Flashback to a better time in music and "Don Stop Believin'"!

Summary: It's about time
Review: I have been waiting for this DVD for years! I must say it was worth the wait! If you read the production titles it was produced by Steve Perry and John Kalodner. Who better to produce it than the man who is "The Voice" of Journey. The re-mastering and clarity and sound of the DVD is awesome! I have most of these old videos on VHS and I can tell you this, they look much better on DVD than on my old VHS tapes! If you are a Journey fan, you must have this DVD!! I hope Sony will release the other Journey concert DVDs soon!

Review: JOURNEY ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!It is amazing to see and hear Journey at its greatest with STEVE PERRY. He is so missed in my home. If you need a Journey fix this is the one. They are amazing. Highly recommend. I saw Journey last summer in concert they may say the new "Steve" is just as good or better, I disagree, you need to buy this DVD for JOURNEY in its natural artistic form and sound.

Summary: Calling all Steve Perry fans.....buy this dvd!!!
Review: I was so excited when Steve Perry announced that he and John Kalonder were working on a DVD of Journey video's. The first day it was released I ran to my local Border's store where they only had three left on the shelf.The first thing that struck me immediately was how ALL of the band members between 1978 & 1997--the dates clearly shown on the cover--were awknowledged. I thought that was very nice to recognize everyone who played in Journey during those years. Playing the DVD I was amazed at the video and sound production....the video is crystal clear digitally remastered and the sound is amazing!! The mix of videos is really good....going back and forth between the live performances where Journey really shined to the glory days of MTV.....some of you might remember those days....that's when MTV actually showed MUSIC VIDEOS!!! The songs are the soundtracks to our lives. "Don't Stop Believing," "Open Arms," "Wheel in the Sky..." all the greats are here.
And the there is the last video they did togather...their only Grammy nomination...the beautiful "When You Love a Woman..."
I almost want to cry everytime I see it. I noticed some reviews questioning why certain performances weren't included and I would remind them that there is another DVD in the works! If anything this video left me waiting for more!! Some have commented on being dissappointed that material prior to Steve Perry's arrival wasn't included on here. I'd remind them that the dvd specifies the years that Perry was in the band. I also have no interest in the band prior to those years and wouldn't care to see any of that work included. They were just a jam band before he arrived....he's the one who put them on the map and made Journey a household name. While I wish the current incarnation of Journey all the luck in the world (they certainly need it with the rodeo's they've been playing lately) the fact remains that when Journey lost Steve Perry they lost their voice. He was THE VOICE and always will be. For us Steve Perry fans this video is essential. And despite the little promotion for this DVD it still went PLATNUM within a matter of months....a clear sign how much Steve Perry and his voice are missed. BUY THIS DVD! I gurantee you won't be dissappointed....Don't Stop Believing....

Summary: Scarab or Chameleon?
Review: Journey used a scarab (a beetle) on the cover of many of their classic albums. After watching this DVD, you have to wonder if perhaps they should have chosen the chameleon to better illustrate the changes and evolution of this band. First, there is no footage of the band pre Steve Perry. Not that that's a bad thing - I didn't care for the Santana-like extended jam tunes myself. But by starting with 1978, those unfamiliar don't get to see and hear what a huge step the band took adding Perry on lead vocals, which would turn out to be a mixed blessing.
Early on, Perry and keyboardist Greg Rolie shared lead vocal duties, and this is my personal favorite Journey era. I love the tunes featured from this time period on the DVD. "Lights," "Feeling That Way," "Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'," and "Just The Same Way" are just great songs. But no "Anytime?" A total classic that should not have been ignored.
The stage presence was more reserved during this time, as well. Perry just sang and didn't run around like a NCAA cheerleader. And while Neal Schon's afro was livin' large (if it was any bigger it would have it's own ZIP code) to match those silky bell bottoms, his guitar lines were the ultimate in taste. Rolie stuck mainly to piano and Hammond B3 - no cheesy synth sounds.
Fast forward to the 80's and we see another Journey. Rolie and drummer Ansley Dunbar are gone, replaced with former Baby Jonathan Cain and super-drummer Steve Smith. Headbands, animal prints, and designer jeans are the background for the delivery of tunes from the mega-selling "Escape" album from a live show in Houston, Texas. "Don't Stop Believing" and "Stone In Love" are fantastic songs, but Perry's over-dramatic stage schmuck just takes away from the music. One would think the show was being taped for an aerobics video. (And I agree with another review - the original "Any Way You Want It" clip should have been used instead of the live version featured.) It's not hard to see how the ridiculous MTV videos for "Separate Ways" and "After The Fall" were to follow. And who doesn't need a minute when Perry shaves off that mustache in the "Faithfully" video? Good call - looked cool on McCartney, but made Perry look like a 70's porn star.
Later, we have Smith and bassist Ross Valory out, replaced by a drummer than looks like a NASCAR pit crew member and Randy "Spandex" Jackson on bass for performances from the Perry-ruled and mega over-produced "Raised On Radio" album. However, the performance and audio on these clips is very good compared to the Houston show, and Perry shows that he is indeed one of the best vocalists of all time.
Wait, now Smith and Valory are back in the band for the adult contemporary smash "When You Love A Woman," a song that makes "Open Arms" sound like heavy metal.
I really like Journey, in all forms even, but I'll probably end up selling or trading in this DVD, choosing to simply crank up my fave cuts on CD. And here is why I give this DVD three stars. The sound is not very good compared to many other DVDs I have, and no 5.1 at all. However, it is cheap compared to other DVDs at around twelve bucks. But I do not find these video images and sound worth much more than an initial look.

Summary: Simply the Best
Review: This DVD is great for me because anything that Journey puts out is fantastic. Anyone who thinks Journey is better now without Steve Perry is deaf. The live tracks of the Houston performances from the Escape tour and the Mountain Aire shows from the Raised on Radio tour are worth the price of the DVD alone. I know the videos were not the best production in the world. But, Journey was and still is about live concert music. The truly are the best band in the world. If you don't have this DVD, get it now, you will be glad you did. You can tell that Steve Perry and John Kalodner put a lot of work in to it.
