JOURNEY in 1981, which opened the door to a major heyday with the astronomical hit of "ESCAPE". The symbolic footage has been upgraded. An urgent release has been decided for a piece that transcends the official quality. The true identity of the symbolic footage is a multi-camera pro shot of the "November 6, 1981 Houston performance". Yes, it is the highest peak updated version of the official masterpiece "LIVE IN HOUSTON 1981: THE ESCAPE TOUR". Well, before we get to the quality, let's start with the position of the show. Let's take a bird's-eye view of the "ESCAPE Tour" in its heyday. 1981 {January 30th "CAPTURED" released} June 7th-14th: North America #1 (4 performances) {July 17th "ESCAPE" released} July 27th-August 1st: Japan #1 (5 performances) August 15th-December 12th: North America #2 (91 performances) ←★Here★ December 21st + 22nd: Honolulu (2 performances) 1982 April 9th-17th: Japan #2 (7 performances) April 23rd-July 2nd: North America #3 (35 performances) {Autumn "FRONTIERS" production} This is the 1981/1982 JOURNEY. The large-scale tour, including two visits to Japan, truly represents the momentum of the golden age. Particularly intense is the "North America #2" leg, which has over 90 performances. The Houston performance of this work was the 64th concert. Well, "LIVE IN HOUSTON 1981" is the official video where you can witness such a heyday of JOURNEY. It is a classic among classics that was also made into an official DVD in 2005, but this work is a remaster of that official video by an overseas enthusiast. The quality is "official transcendence" class that takes your breath away. It was a masterpiece video with no problems from the beginning, but this work is even clearer, finer, more vivid and glossy. In fact, a personally remastered version was released two years ago (2022), but this work is completely different from that. The 2022 version simply emphasized the highlights, and the screen was as if it was a gaudy screen with glasses that were too tight. In contrast, this work is super natural. The color, texture, and fine details are as fresh as if you caught it yesterday... No, it's as real as if you were witnessing the real JOURNEY on site. The details of the remastering work have not been revealed, but it may be a generative AI technology. If not, "more natural than the official DVD" is too mysterious. JOURNEY, who was in the midst of their historic breakthrough, is depicted with such official transcendental visual beauty. Let's check out the set contents that exude the momentum of the breakthrough era. Escape (8 songs) Escape / Open Arms / Mother, Father (★) / Who's Crying Now / Dead or Alive (★) / Don't Stop Believin' / Stone In Love / Keep On Runnin' (★) Others (7 songs) Departure: Line Of Fire / Stay Awhile / Where Were You (★) / Any Way You Want It Others: Lights / Wheel In The Sky / Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' *Note: The "★" mark indicates a song that could not be heard on the official live album "GREATEST HITS LIVE". ...And so on. The axis is "ESCAPE", and all of the 10 songs on the album will be performed except for "Still They Ride" and "Lay It Down". It's a magnificent set that is full of new songs and is a big hit. This show was also released as an official live album, "GREATEST HITS LIVE," but that was an edited work mixed with other tours. In contrast, this work is a 100% pure "ESCAPE Tour" work, and you can enjoy "Mother, Father," "Dead or Alive," and "Keep On Runnin'," which were not used there. The official video, which had no flaws from the beginning, has been upgraded. It has also been remastered by a maniac and exceeded the official version. Perhaps the world of music archives is about to enter a new era. This is a superb video masterpiece that even exudes an unknown premonition. An upgraded version of the official masterpiece "LIVE IN HOUSTON 1981: THE ESCAPE TOUR" has been released. Remastered by an overseas maniac, it has become even clearer, more detailed, vivid and lustrous. It is an abnormal quality that exceeds the official version.
