Rating: Summary: How can you not like Journey? Review: This DVD can be summed up in one word...awesome! JOURNEY DVD UPDATE: Just announced--the Houston concert from 1981's ESCAPE tour will be released in December 2004.
Rating: Summary: Missing Dolby Digital 5.1, but Journey Fans rejoice... Review: The ultimate Journey DVD is here, well almost ultimate, where is my remastered Dolby Digital? It's missing that, which I think should be a standard for all DVD music videos, I understand these are old videos, but the Air Supply DVD even got 5.1 treatment, why not Journey? It just doesn't make sense? HMMMM. Anyway, this collection is basically their Greatest Hits CD but in a video collection, what's not to like? Faithfully, the ultimate love song ever, is the best song to crank when you get dumped. Open Arms, another gooey song, should be played when your spouse or girlfriend is out of town, should bring tears. Sepearate Ways, Worlds Apart, one of the worst Journey and videos ever made period, is still one of their greatest songs, just try not to laugh at the video, it's downright comedic. But the rest is all good, all classic Journey vintage. Steve Perry would have been proud (if he would have stayed with the band. Make sure you to take a peak at their "Live" DVD, the guy that replaced Perry is amazing, he looks, and sounds just like him!
Rating: Summary: Good to see them again !!! Review: Journey was my ultimate favorite group back in the day !!! Saw them quite a few times in Hartford (two of them being in the front row ) Great DVD - however I was hoping for more than just "the videos" I like to see some "extras" on DVD releases. Interviews, The Making of....and so on. It also like to see english subtitles with music available as well. This DVD does not include any extras - however the videos and concert footage is absolutely great. Again - it is good to see them again. It brought many many memories of watching MTV wating for a new Journey video back to me like it was yesterday. ONE REQUEST - PLEASE RELEASE FULL CONCERT FOOTAGE OF JOURNEY WITH STEVE PERRY ON DVD. I believe that they taped the Frontiers tour for VHS? - however would love to have that on DVD. Thank you !!
Rating: Summary: well worth the money! Review: this dvd is great! i love the old footage,i never knew neal schon frow was that big in the early years. it even has randy jackson! (amarican idol judge) on the raised on radio stuff! if you are a true steve perry journey fan this dvd is for you.
Rating: Summary: Quality and "Hilarity" Review: Sure this DVD has some of the most pathetic music videos of all time, but it's Journey - it's fantastic! Hilarious to watch with friends while enjoying a cold one. You will not be disappointed. I would take Steve Perry in these videos/concert shots over any replacement and a new live DVD. You will too once you see it.
By the way, this DVD has "After the Fall," the best song from the Risky Business soundtrack.
Rating: Summary: This is a MUST have DVD. Review: For any fan of Journey who prefers Gregg Rolie or Steve Perry, this is a must have DVD. I own many music DVDs and this one is played often. Steve Perry nails "Don't Stop Believin'" in an amazing live video from the Escape tour. "Girl Can't Help It" features American Idol judge Randy Jackson lookin' pretty funky.
"Stone In Love", and "Feeling That Way" are two of my favorite songs and it's great to see those videos. It's just an all around great DVD, what can I say. GET IT!
Rating: Summary: The live cuts rock!! Review: This visual document of Journey during 1978-1997 is worth buying simply for the live cuts taken from the band's 1981 concert at Houston in Texas during the Escape tour, when they were really rocking.
Steve Perry is in fine voice on all the tracks from that gig, proving what an outstanding vocalist he is, whether in the studio or in concert. Check out "Open Arms" or "Who's Crying Now" to find out just how good the classic line up oif this band was on stage.
The live tracks from Journey's Raised On Radio tour of 1986 are good too, but the videos aren't too great, except for "When You Love A Woman", a terrific video from "Trial By Fire", the band's last album with Steve Perry. Beautiful visuals and great production values on this one.
The rest of the videos appear rather dated, though Steve Perry has to be one of the best and most emotional lip syncers in the business!!
Audio is simple two-channel, with no remixing or remastering for surround, and thus a bit disappointing and one of the reasons why this DVD only rates three stars. But the sound is smooth and the DVD sounds great when played live. Also disappointing is the lack of any bonus features.
It would be nice if Journey would now release the entire Houston concert on DVD with surround sound, or maybe one of the shows from the 1986 tour.
And as for all the critics who keep bad-mouthing Journey, ignore them. The catchy songs and the terrific playing just can't be put down for ever....
Rating: Summary: THE RATE IS TEN STARS Review: I have over 100 MUSIC/CONCERT DVDS and the one that was the most unexpensive was this one. But I will tell you this is the most valuable DVD in my collection. I've bought it 3 months ago and I think there was no one day that I didn't watch it.
When I bought the DVD I really didn't know much about JOURNEY but I'll tell you, after searching on over 2000 songs of the 80's I could not find a better singer than Steve Perry. I am not talking about his vocal skills only but about his extremely good taste choosing how to interpretate and performe those excellent songs. THIS DVD IS A DIAMOND AND STEVE PERRY IS HIS BRIGHTNESS. I WOULD BUY IT AGAIN FOR THE TRIPLE OF THE PRICE. IT'S WORTH IT. Unfortunatelly it seems that We will never see the band reunited with Mr. Perry again.
Rating: Summary: The American Idol / Journey connection Review: This is by far my favorite music DVD. There is a good mixure of older songs and the ones written more recently. Seeing the band (especially Neal Schon) in the early days is beyond entertaining. An extra treat was seeing Randy Jackson (one of the judges on American Idol) playing the bass guitar and singing backup vocals on three of the performances (that was cool dawg!). If you like Journey you will love this DVD, and you'll find yourself watching it over and over again like me.
Rating: Summary: Easy review Review: This review is really really easy. If you love Journey you'll love to watch this anthological dvd and you'll come back to it again and again even if the production isn't perfect (anyway it is a selection which comprehend material recorded in twenty years so the production levels are quite different). If you don't love Journey, well, why buying an anthological dvd? This is a dvd for the fans it's obvious. I am. I absolutly love Journey so watching the band perform live and see a young Steve Perry in videoclips it's been a blast! I never had the pleasure to see Perry singing a single note and he is my favourite singer!!! So it's really been a blast!!! I am extremely grateful for this dvd, I love it and I recommend it to every Journey fans, even if, I want to say it again, the production of the original material is sometimes good, sometimes very good, sometimes weak, the choices the band did at the time for the videoclips now seems very dated, the production of this dvd, it's not that perfect. But ..... love is blind, isn't it?? And here you have Perry. Steve Perry. Steve Perry. Steve Perry. Steve Perryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!!!!! Who cares about production levels when you can hear and see him singing and performing with Cain, Schon, ... with Journey???? Two more words. Steve Perry. Period.
