Contents
The material of the show was recorded and filmed for the then-fledgling MTV network on Journey's Escape Tour in November 1981 at The Summit in Houston, Texas, at the height of the band's commercial success.
Hits such as "Lights", "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'", "Wheel in the Sky", and "Any Way You Want It" are in evidence plus tracks from Journey's then-current album Escape, like its title cut, "Open Arms", "Who's Crying Now" and "Don't Stop Believin'" .
Closing the CD version of the concert is the track, "Party's Over (Hopelessly in Love)" which was not on the DVD. Instead the DVD has bonus interviews with the band from 1981 and 1982 plus an album advertisement for Escape.
Footage from this DVD is used in the infomercial for the Time-Life Ultimate Rock Ballads CD set.
