Journey are streaming performance video of their 1981 hit, “Who’s Crying Now”, as the latest preview to the forthcoming package, "Live In Japan 2017: Escape + Frontiers."
The lead single from “Escape” was a US Top 5 hit while the project went on to sell more than 9 million copies in the country and 12 million worldwide.
Due March 29, the live release captures the band’s complete performances of a pair of their classic 1980s albums from a February 7, 2017 concert event at the famed Budokan in Tokyo.
Kicking off the two-hour set with "Don't Stop Believin'", Journey delivered a mix of hits and deep tracks like "Escape"'s "Lay It Down" and "Frontiers"' "Back Talk", which haven't been played live since the albums' original touring cycles.
These records – which produced eight US Top 40 singles combined – have sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide, with “Escape” hitting the Top 30 and “Frontiers” going Top 5 in Japan and both earning top 3 status in the US.
"Live In Japan 2017: Escape + Frontiers" will be available in multiple formats, including DVD+2CD and Blu-ray+2CD.
Journey founder and guitarist Neal Schon launched his “Journey Through Time” tour at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA on February 23; the rocker will next perform a March 1 date at The Van Buren in Phoenix, AZ and a March 2 show at The Orpheum in Los Angeles, CA.
