 Live Journey Dec 25, 2009
My biggest complaint with most live albums is that the songs sound almost nothing like the original studio versions. Some people say that that is the point: live music is different in that it interprets the studio version into its own form. I can follow that as long as the song does not become unrecognizable from its original form. Captured is a two-fold joy. None of the Journey songs in their "live" form become unrecognizable from their studio form. Are they different? In some ways, yes. Steve Perry does a little add-libbing to personalize the songs to the audience and to address the audience. This does nothing to detract from the music. The introductions of the band members and their respective solos not only do not detract but add to the quality of the music. I would consider these elements absolutely must-haves for any Journey fan. Also the quality of the recording of these live performances is extraordinary. No part of the band drowns out the other and none of the performances are overshadowed by the audience until Steve asks them to sing. The sound quality of the album is great and highly enjoyable.
 Only album which includes The Party's Over Sep 09, 2009
I bought this for the song The Party's Over, which is very catchy and jams. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long enough. However, I "had" to buy this cd so I could incude that song on a cd-mix.
Journey in thier prime Jul 13, 2009
If you want to hear a band that sings great live and plays great this is the cd to showcase those talents. Neal's guitar, Ross and his mean bass, Greg and his playing, Smitty and his drums of fire and Steve Perry the voice doing what he does best sing and does an awesome job. I do like it when he sings different melodies rather then note for note on the records.

The Best Live Journey Album and Possibly Best Live Album Ever Jun 09, 2009
While I may have owned Live in Houston and Greatest Hits Live before grabbing this one, I kind of didn't want it because it was pre-Escape material that wasn't interesting to me and I couldn't find it. One day at a mega CD store I came across it and bought it. I listened to it through and through and found that it was pretty good. Like Live In Houston, Steve Perry seems to get involved with the audience quite a bit like during Wheel in the Sky after the my, my, my part he then yells "YOU'RE ON YOU'RE OWN!!!" and the audience yells "FOR TOMORROW!!!" I just love when musicians get into their performances. The album features all the big hits from Infinity, Evolution, and Depature such as "Feeling That Way", "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'", and "Walks Like a Lady" along with a new live song called "Dixie Highway" and the lone studio recording which to me should have been on either Departure or Escape, "The Party's Over (Hopelessly in Love)". Obviously Steve Perry was not only Journey's best vocalist ever, but he was also the most entertaining by using his audience to sing along and to fill in songs as well as tell jokes and stories about the songs he sings. I've never seen or heard any other band use the audience as a performance tool. So if you're a Journey fan or someone who likes live albums...this one's the best by far.

One of the Best Live Album's Ever! Oct 25, 2008
I was lucky enough to be at one of the concerts this album was recorded from in the early 80's. Every time I listen to this album I'm 18 years old again and all the old memories come back. This band sounded exactly the way they did on their albums - now dvd's. If you never were able to see them in concert (the original line up) then this is as close as you can get. I still remember Steve Perry holding the mic out to the audience during Wheel in the Sky and screaming the lyrics. It was the best. You won't be sorry.
