Rating: Summary: A great introduction to Journey! Review: This DVD is a great way to introduce someone to Journey, whether the person is a new fan or is trying to make the transition from Steve Perry's departure after Trial By Fire.The DVD was taped for a Direct-TV special and it features the current Journey line-up of lead singer Steve Augeri, guitarist Neal Schon, keyboardist Jonathan Cain, bassist Ross Valory and drummer Deen Castronovo. The DVD is a full concert featuring Journey's greatest hits, including songs such as "Open Arms," "Don't Stop Believin'," and "Any Way You Want It." It also includes new songs "Higher Place" and "All the Way." Seeing Journey live is such a different experience than listening to a CD. I've seen the current lineup four times in concert, and this DVD captures the emotion and raw energy of the concerts! You may just find yourself blasting the music, dancing, and singing along! Steve Perry fans: Some of you may be wary of Steve Augeri, but this DVD shows that he can do justice to Journey's hits while maintaining his own vocal style. Contrary to what some people say, he really isn't a dead ringer for Perry. This may turn you to a new era of Journey! Overall, the sound quality is awesome and the video is great. This is a great substitute if you can't make it to a Journey concert!
Rating: Summary: The only way to bring Journey home day after day. Review: JOURNEY 2001: The only way to bring the Journey experience home day after day unless of course your a Journey insider. But seriously, this is the way you can enjoy the live version of Journey. My contention is that most people who don't like Journey either lack the taste for good rock and roll or they have never heard the band live. The latter think that Journey did a few songs which the don't get or like. But once you hear this DVD you could change your mind. As for the Journey faithful, I don't have to tell you that you want this DVD. You already know that.
Rating: Summary: What a JOURNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: Neal,Ross together with Jonathan had really done their homework in search of vocalist in replace of Steve Perry.Steve Augeri had prove himself in becoming one of the Journeyman.As for Deen, I know he will always at his best.For those youngsters who had not heard of Journey music,will not know what the hell am I talking about.All the best to this old dudes.
Rating: Summary: A Must HAVE!! Review: Anyone how ever listened to a Journey song will be thrilled to see that not only does the new front man Steve A. fill the shoes for this group with a voice that carries its wieght in gold but also to experience a chance to hear some of the best musicians ever to perform live. A mix of old songs and new. It plays in our house all the time. Go see them in Concert they are in a major good groove.
Rating: Summary: The Best!! Review: Excellent dvd. All the songs are great. I didn't realize Steve Perry wasn't on this, but Steve Augeri is even better!!! We watch this over and over. Can't say enough good things about this dvd.
Rating: Summary: If you like JOURNEY this is a must have Review: Great DVD that captures the spirit of a concert, great selections of songs, I guess they could put more "behind the scenes" stuff, but overall it's a great DVD, a must for Journey fans.
Rating: Summary: ALMOST PERFECT... Review: Steve Smith.....I really miss you. Steve Perry..... Who???
Rating: Summary: Awesome performance, too bad it wasnt in front of real fans Review: The picture and sound quality of this DVD is amazing. The only disapointment was how many times the view panned to "fans" who didnt even know the words to probably the most popular songs of our time! Also, some... had a British flag. (This band is from San Francisco!) anyway, Steve hung the british flag on an amp and I wonder how many of those... yuppy "fans" probably thought that Journey is from the UK. Steve Augeri is an amazing replacement for Perry, in fact better. The band as a whole has never sounded better.
Rating: Summary: Words cannot do this DVD justice Review: I am a Journey fan of all eras. I bought "Arrival" when it came out last year, and it was definitely my favorite CD of the year. I also saw the band in concert last summer and found their performance nothing short of stunning. I knew that there was no chance that I wouldn't absolutely love this DVD before I bought it, and I was right. Nonetheless, in watching it I was still surprised how good it is. The reason for my surprise is simple: I have never heard better sound quality on a DVD. I cranked this DVD through my stereo speakers and felt like I truly was at the concert. The production could not be more crisp and clear. Now to the more obvious part of my review: the songs and performances were all top-notch. This does not look like a band that has been around for nearly 30 years. Steve Augeri for sure brings a youthful energy to the band. He of course sounds great on the new songs he sang on "Arrival", but he also absolutely does all the Steve Perry classics justice. I hate to say it, but the best thing for Neil Schon was for Steve Perry to leave this band. As the true band leader once again, he plays with a flamboyance that is remarkable considering the number of years he had been doing this. It is so obvious to me that he and this band have a new lease on life. Watch this performance and I think you will agree. For sure, many of the classics and all of the biggest hits are here. From the rockers like "Stone In Love" to the ballads like "Faithfully" (which was the beautiful, touching way the band closed this performance), the songs are all masterfully performed. Like other reviewers, I am impressed with the inclusion of the rare "La Raza Del Sol". Bottom line: DO NOT listen to those that say this band is done because Steve Perry is no longer with them. Obviously, he was great and contributed much to their success, but he was not the only important component of the band. Watch this performance and see how great this band still is. The outrage should not be that Journey is going on without Steve Perry, but instead that this band in its new incarnation is not getting the recognition it so richly deserves. If you are a true fan of Journey in particular and classic rock in general, do not give up on this band! And for sure, this DVD comes strongly recommended.
