Journey Captured (Reissued + Expanded Digipack) (1981)
Captured (Reissued + Expanded Digipack)\n2006 Columbia/Legacy\n\nOriginally Released February 1981\nCD Edition Released 1987 ??\nRemastered CD Edition Released October 15, 1996\nReissued Digipack CD Edition Released October 3, 2006\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: A live double-album, it featured many of their late-'70s hits. -- Donna DiChario\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: After spending the better half of the '70s as an ersatz prog band given to Neal Schon's noodling, never-ending solos, low record sales, and muddling about on the marginal rock circuit, the members of Journey certainly welcomed the phenomenal chart success and arena tours that came their way in the late '70s. With Captured, a live double-disc from 1980, the newly crowned kings of AOR show off like a formerly fat girl at prom. "Separate Ways" and "Faithfully" were still a few years away, but the band had plenty of hits by this time and they blast through them all, including a blistering version of "Any Way You Want It." The band are in rare form and vocalist Steve Perry uses Captured as his coming out, while the thousands of diehards sweating in the blistering sun give the album an underlying hum of energy that tops even Perry's. -- Steve Kurutz\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nClassic Journey, July 2, 2006\nReviewer: Michael W. Cummins "audiophile in arizona" (USA)\nSure, Steve Perry is the singer. Sure its a live album and the production on it is good except for one thing. The entire album is a jumble of songs recorded at different locations, so it isn't the World Wide Live/Frampton Comes Alive disc for Journey fans. This is the one thing that bothered me, even though I think it is a great album, I don't like a fade in/out for each song. Keep in mind, this album is OLD - over 25 years old. It was also done at the beginning of the arena rock era. They were still figuring out what to do and how to do it. \n\nJourney - the music, song choices, the whole journey sound - in fact, this album is very good. It is hard to find anything wrong with it, I've never been up on stage in front of thousands of fans and had to perform. Journey is one of those bands that helped make the 80s memorable, and this album is worth getting for the following reasons - overall, it is very good, the band is (still) popular, and the songs are ones you remember from the era if you grew up in it, and if you grew up later, you will hear a lot of the songs that others talk about so fondly (some of which get no airplay any longer, even on classic rock stations). \n\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\n"You See This Microphone Over Here....., August 7, 2006\nReviewer: Jeffrey G. Stevenson "Drummer J" (F.W.B.,FL)\n\n.....You see this one right over here?....Do you know what that means?" Yes, I would guess that anybody at that particular show who didn't know what that meant, quickly found out that they were involved in something special---- One of the most inspired, beloved live albums to date! And although this album was recorded over the span of many months on their world tour, one could easily be "fooled" into thinking this was taken from a single show. This live release simply has an exceptional flow to the varied material heard here....almost as if the people who edited this together, were aiming for that effect. The band must have been in great 'form' for the entire Tour....great musicianship, great crowd interaction, and one heck of a great setlist. I don't know of many other groups besides Journey that can alternate between straight-on 'rockers' and heart-wrenching 'ballads', and keep an audience enthralled for the entire show. And the Solos on this album are absolutely 'Killer'... Mr. Schon certainly gets his fair share of the audiences' attention....even the "not too common" bass solo/spanking in "La Do Da" brings Mr. Valory kudos from the crowd. But for me, being a drummer, its Mr. Smith that caught my attention in a BIG way with his wonderfully constructed drum solo. Steve Smith has become my single favorite drummer over the years and I literally NEVER tire of hearing his facility and mastery on the drumkit( if you've only heard Steve with Journey, you MUST do yourself a favor and explore some of his "other-worldly" work with Jean-Luc Ponty, Vital Information , and Vital Tech Tones....absolutely amazing playing by all involved!). But I would venture to say that Mr. Perry played the biggest role in keeping these audiences "on their toes" during the recording sessions for "Captured"---- Steve Perry is truly one of the great vocalist of Pop-Rock music and should certainly go down in music's history as so. \n\nAs for the individual songs here on "Captured", there is a nice mix from the bands past releases...though you won't hear anything from the bands "progressive" years here. I like nearly everything Journey has put out, but, through no fault of the band, I have been 'over-exposed' to some of the songs here...thanks to our local "small-Town" AOR radio station. So with that said, I do find myself skipping through a handfull of tunes...most notably: "Lights", "AnyWay You Want It", "Wheel in the Sky", and "Lovin',Touchin',Squeezin'". Don't get me wrong, I love those songs, but its the songs I hadn't been exposed to that keeps me coming back to this album---- "Dixie Highway", "Walks Like a Lady", "Line of Fire", "Too Late", "La Do Da" and, possibly my favorite (slow) Journey tune, "Stay Awhile". By far, this is my preferred version of this great band----shortly after this recording Greg Rollie would move on, and Journey would hit 'SuperStar' status with their next album ("Escape")...not to be 'De-throned' till many years later. This album is truly one of the most exciting live albums ever recorded...and Journey is truly one of the best, universally liked bands in the history of R-n-R---- #3 of my all-time favorite live albums....See Why For Yourself!\n\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nJourney, With Brass Knuckles?, May 31, 2005\nReviewer: P. M. White "surfzilla" (El Aay)\nThese guys always put such a glossy sheen on things. And I'm not just talking about their sound--the band pic on the back of the "Evolution" LP is clear and convincing evidence these fellas kept lipstick and curlers in the dressing room. However, on "Captured", they pull the barrettes out of the short and curlies, and the result is almost bona fide rock and roll. Tempos are speeded up, jams break out all over the place--"live" happens. If only Neil Schon's Stratocaster and Greg Rolie's Hammond B-3 organ weren't so politely muffled into the mix--the result is kinda like the Incredible Hulk punching his way through a room full of mattresses. Instead, the emphasis is given to Steve Perry's vocals. The band can rock with the big boys, and they're fronted by a singer who sounds better than most girls.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nI was there!, May 11, 2004\nReviewer: Robert Harding (Virginia)\nListening to this collection brings back a flood of memories of my high school days -- carefree, high-energy passion of the early 1980s. This album is special to me for an additional reason, since I was at one of the concerts where Journey was recording this album. The cut "Dixie Highway" was recorded at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky, a concert I attended. Listen to the crowd's wild reaction when Steve Perry says "..the Dixie Highway!" The band didn't realize that one of the longest and most important roads in Louisville is called "Dixie Highway."\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nAmazing energy and songs--GREAT live album!, October 2, 2002\nReviewer: Brad (CT)\nThis is a classic live album by my all-time favorite rock band. It includes many of the band's classics from their three successive classic rock albums "Infinity" (1978), "Evolution" (1979), and "Departure" (1980). Needless to say for any true Journey fan, these songs sound great live.\nMany of these performances go far beyond the studio versions. Take the jam that comes out of "Walks Like A Lady"--a 3-minute song that turns into 7 minutes live. Songs like "Line Of Fire", "Feeling That Way", "Anytime", and "Wheel In The Sky" absolutely rock. The inclusion of the live track "Dixie Highway" and the new (at the time of release) studio track "The Party's Over (Hopelessly In Love) are also fantastic.\n\nThis is what a live album should be. The crowd is very prevalent throughout the album, and the interaction between the band and the crowd is left unedited in many spots. Clearly, this band was as special live as they were on their studio albums. (They still are, by the way, as I just saw the current lineup at "The Big E" in Massachusetts on September 29th--their last show of this year's tour.) This is a fantastic live album of some of the best classic rock of a generation. Highly recommended.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nJourney Live, March 29, 2001\nReviewer: Thomas Magnum (NJ, USA)\nJourney sold millions of records in the 70's, but most of their albums were uneven, with some really good songs offset by some bad ones. Despite some their studio maladies, the band's real prowess was in their live shows. Concerts allowed them to play their best songs and show off Steve Perry's incredible voice and Neal Schoen's impressive guitar playing. Captured is an excellent live album and the band lives up to expectations. Songs like "Any Way You Want It", "Wheel In The Sky", "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'", "Majestic" and "Lights" take on additional power and sound and lesser known studio tracks like "La Do Da", "Line Of Fire" and "Just The Same Way" far outshine their studio versions. The album closes out with a bonus studio track that ranks as one of the band's best, "Party's Over (Hopelessly In Love)". If you are casual Journey fan, then Captured is perfect for you.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nDid Someone Say "Live"?, August 13, 1999\nReviewer: A music fan\nThis is a blueprint for a bad stadium rock album. Journey has released far superior studio albums but in the live setting, they spend more energy trying to inject life into their audience rather than into their music. One gets the feeling that they've played these songs hundreds of times. Unfortunately, many other bands have copied this format with equally bad results. Stick with their studio albums.\n\n\nHalf.com Details \nProducer: Kevin Elson \n\nAlbum Notes\nJourney: Steve Perry (vocals); Neal Schon (guitar); Gregg Rolie (keyboards); Ross Valory (bass); Steve Smith (drums).\n\nRecorded at various locations during Journey's 1980 "19-Infinity Tour."\n\nJourney: Gregg Rolie (vocals, keyboards); Steve Perry (vocals); Neal Schon (guitar, background vocals); Ross Valory (bass guitar, background vocals); Steve Smith (drums).\n\nRecording information: 03/1980 - 10/1980.\nReleased in early 1981, just before the band became power ballad kings, Journey's CAPTURED is a live double album/single CD. Although it would reach even greater heights of popularity starting with its next studio release, ESCAPE, Journey was already one of the top names in stateside rock. All of its hits and fan favorites up to this point are featured, notably "Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'," "Wheel in the Sky," and "Any Way You Want It."
This rock cd contains 17 tracks and runs 70min 6sec.
