This is the "REAL" Journey......Before they went commercial (Not that I blame them $$$$$) but their pre- Perry stuff really showcases what great musicians they really are.
R.I.P. George. This song along with "Nickel & Dime" and "Midnight Dreamer" are among three of my favorite Progressive ROCK era Journey songs. I always knew Journey was going to break it big. I was sure journey would fly by and bury Pink Floid. I just never thought in a million years that it would happen by selling out to bubble gum top 40.
Agree 100%. Saw a few of those historic Journey concerts at Winteland. Golden Gate Park with Yesterday & Today (March of '75), during my early teen years. They rocked back then...along with their first three studio LPs!
My favorite song by the real Journey. Actually, the entire album is phenomenal. Real rock, then Perry came along, and they went pop. 70's were about rock music and they had it down.
@kathydigi3537 because he is and because I can. Would you prefer I didn't call him that and just called him a fruit?? Let's see the problem with that is fruit doesn't rhyme with Perry. Now if you have any more complaints tell them to your wife hahaha
@ I don’t have a wife or a husband ! Why would you call him a fruit . From what I know he likes women . He was with Sherrie for almost 6 years and fruit is very derogatory term . You are a bit off .
@kathydigi3537 I think he was a switch hitter so really there's not much difference. He ruined Journey from a musicianship standpoint destroying a great progressive rock group for pop bubble gum. Did he write that song Sherry is a tribute to your wife or something?? You say I'm a bit off, I say that's putting it mildly hahaha
@ that’s what Herbie wanted and he wanted Steve . He wanted money and they had no labels . You Might be right about Steve as he had only a few girlfriends and was very much against having kids . I never thought of that . Silly of me .
This is such an amazing piece of music, it gives me chills unlike anything I have EVER heard... The atmosphere and these jazz textures are just breathtaking.....
Neil Schons solo sounds very similar to his one in No One To Depend On. I saw them warm up for ELO in 77. "Next" was just released I believe. They blew me away. I had never heard of them.
I swear this as sounds like a Samtana song, maybe Carlos gave it to Neal and Gregg to start their new project off on the right foot😎 This is THEE Journey song people need to hear out there!
Probably some truth to that. If you listen to the last Santana album before the parting of ways this sounds like a natural progression from Santana's work. Whereas Santana probably stagnated EDIT: "Caravanserai" I've got the vinyl album and I still cant spell it without looking it up...("Song Of The Wind")
@@ianburton8050 this is solely credited to rhythm guitarist George Tickner, who wasnt a part of Santana. Not sure his true contribution but I see no reason to solely credit him unless he did write it, since it's the only song on the album with 1 musician credited to it.
@@Rekeza It may be a bit like "provenance" in painting... the signature on the bottom is definitive but the influences are less clear. And it depends on how complete it was when Tichner brought it to the group.
there is no reason journey cant still do stuff like this and do their top 40 stuff too it gives the singer a break and adds texture to the whole set and would finaly please 63 year old fans like as well as the younger ones fans are not that closed minded
Remember them well, they were smokin hot. The record days of old though, it was put to them that they needed some commercially viable stuff or be dropped from the label, Then Steve Perry arrived and they went a different direction and stayed with the label with their commercial hits.
This is 1974, they didn't release an album until 1975. Were they a support act or was the ex Santanaism enough to give them top billing? I love the pre-Steve Perry stuff.
INCREDIBLE! They actually remind me of them in the early era,as well as a few others,KILLER! It's comparable 2 seeing Zappa plays Zappa opening 4 thee almighty legendary return to forever a few years ago,then the day b4,I got 2 actually see steely dan,2 groups that I thought that I'd never ever see live,WOW?!?!?! LONG LIVE MUSIQUE
Can you imagine what dude headlining was thinking following one of the most amazing guitarist of all time? Coming out with his doubleneck and obviously couldn't compare to Schon... But hey, who could? I'm sure the fans of the mahavishnu orchestra were pleased!
Ansley Dunbar one of my top 10 favorite drummers... in this order... Carl Palmer Neil Peart bill bruford Dave weckl Aynsley Dunbar Bobby Caldwell Simon Phillips Michael shreves Billy Cobham Vinny c a l l i u t t a. Honorable mentions go to Steve gadd Terry Bozzio Narada Michael Walden Pierre Van Der Linden😮😊
Ooh a little sloppy on the guitar there Neal? I mean this was '74 so he was like what, twelve years old out there? Christ these guys look like kids. This is the band that would go on to define a generation. But these old prog jams always do it for me. (edit: Okay sorry Neal it is clearly a series of very unfortunate tape glitches)
The incredible drive of Aynsley Dunbar, champion drummer!
Especially starting at 3:48!
Ansley is so underrated!!!! He's amazing on the drum's
I’ve been trying to play this song on the drums for the past 40 years… not even close! 😅
The best ever
I saw Aynsley twice when he worked with Frank Zappa in 1972. Great drummer.
This is the "REAL" Journey......Before they went commercial (Not that I blame them $$$$$) but their pre- Perry stuff really showcases what great musicians they really are.
I like this early progressive Journey but they as a band would have faded into obscurity if they had not brought Perry into the band!
Perry Ruined that band!!!!
Their music continues to withstand the test of time. That trend is not going to change. IMHO.
Popeye totally bro!
Funny, it’s the only Journey album I listen to.
Saw this iteration of Journey in 1975 @ the Riviera theater in Chicago.
Made my soul happy as hell that night!!
Ansley Dunbar is a beast on drums absolutely one of the best😊
R.I.P. George. This song along with "Nickel & Dime" and "Midnight Dreamer" are among three of my favorite Progressive ROCK era Journey songs. I always knew Journey was going to break it big. I was sure journey would fly by and bury Pink Floid. I just never thought in a million years that it would happen by selling out to bubble gum top 40.
Don't forget kohoutek. I agree bubblegum ass Steve Perry ruined that band😢
I saw Journey Open up for Emerson Lake and Palmer back in the day and they were both five times the musicians Pink Floyd were😮
george tickner may very well be one of the most influential musicians just by happenstance, just look at rush and kansas.....
You old Journey fans will never change your minds
Personally I feel Journey before Steve Perry was fantastic. I get the reason for going the route they did but I still love the older stuff way better.
Agree 100%. Saw a few of those historic Journey concerts at Winteland. Golden Gate Park with Yesterday & Today (March of '75), during my early teen years. They rocked back then...along with their first three studio LPs!
@@musicalSFCat That’s amazing! I never went. I was too young. Parents wouldn’t have let me. But I owned all their pre-Perry albums and wore them out!
Money...that's All I can say..
Ansley is one of the top 5 rock drummer's of all time, sooo underrated.
I definitely place him among the best, but for me there are too many to rank them. I like many drummers for different reasons.
Oh absolutely I saw Journey Open up for ELP and he even gave the great Carl Palmer a run for his money😮
The prog jams from this lineup do it for me every time, especially live. What a great group of players.
My favorite song by the real Journey. Actually, the entire album is phenomenal. Real rock, then Perry came along, and they went pop. 70's were about rock music and they had it down.
Favorite Journey lineup. Yes it is. Great to see this vintage concert for those of us not able to attend
Prior to Steve the fairy Perry they were a great Fusion progressive rock band. I saw them open up for Emerson Lake and Palmer in 1976 what a show😊
Why you calling Steve a fairy ? That’s not true !
@kathydigi3537 because he is and because I can. Would you prefer I didn't call him that and just called him a fruit?? Let's see the problem with that is fruit doesn't rhyme with Perry. Now if you have any more complaints tell them to your wife hahaha

only a few girlfriends and was very much against having kids . I never thought of that . Silly of me .
My absolute favorite JOURNEY song ♠️
Same here....its a banger...
One of the greatest songs ever...
I tell people all the time the best song jouney ever played is an instrumental!
@@bajaborracho9139 "Nickel & Dime" aint bad either!
I saw these guys at Winterland in 1975 and they blew everyone away!!!! The ultimate JAM band....
Oh my. Stellar musicians all. 4:28, Gregg Rolie looks like a mad doctor, and they killed it!! Simply stunning!!
The real journey...great album.
This is such an amazing piece of music, it gives me chills unlike anything I have EVER heard... The atmosphere and these jazz textures are just breathtaking.....
Hell yeah oh my gosh they were the best in 70s seen them countless times in Frisco❤❤❤❤
First 3 albums.
Neil Schons solo sounds very similar to his one in No One To Depend On. I saw them warm up for ELO in 77. "Next" was just released I believe. They blew me away. I had never heard of them.
It doesn’t get any better than this
Saw them open for Rush in 1978 paladium .nyc... caught a Dunbar drum stick..great show...
I swear this as sounds like a Samtana song, maybe Carlos gave it to Neal and Gregg to start their new project off on the right foot😎
This is THEE Journey song people need to hear out there!

Yes, minus the bongos 😊
The best line up of Journey imo
Nothing better boys and girls 🤟
A musical legend.
Thank you Bill Graham!
Sounds just like the LP! ❤️
Classic tune. Sounds like a mix of Santana and Trower. Neal already had that guitar touch at a young age.
Epic.
Neil Shawn with his fro is priceless LOVE IT❤
Amazing Vid to see this Live. Awesome.
This is the best of journey
Back when Journey played Real Rock Music. This Journey Topaz LP is their best music.
Doctor George Tickner on Guitar
Amazing to see a rocker go to become a Doctor!
Oh this is so AWESOME!!! Wow Thank you
Neal Schon was about 18 years old here
Mark Catalano 20 years old he born in 1954 this was in 1974.
He was a true prodigy.
Topaz is the only true equality. It comes in every color, and metaphysically treats everyone the same. 🎸
there is no reason journey cant still do stuff like this and do their top 40 stuff too it gives the singer a break and adds texture to the whole set and would finaly please 63 year old fans like as well as the younger ones fans are not that closed minded
Many people who have been around when they were just getting started.
I missed Gregg Rollie after he left. Glad he jammed with them on Journey across time, i think it was the name used.
I saw Journey when they toured and opened for Jeff Beck..(first tour),,in Dallas Jeff Beck actually got booed and everyone was screening for Journey
Great stuff !😁👍🎵🎸
How sad that these Maestro musicians were turned into a pop band in later years😢
muito bom!!!
Combo of Atomic Rooster and Mahivishnu Orchestra and Captain Beyond
Gregg Rollie provided the keyboard and organ solos.
Remember them well, they were smokin hot. The record days of old though, it was put to them that they needed some commercially viable stuff or be dropped from the label, Then Steve Perry arrived and they went a different direction and stayed with the label with their commercial hits.
I didn't know it was from 1974. The album with this tune was from 1975 so I thought it was from '75.
Neal was about nineteen or
twenty years old in the video.
The first 3 albums were the best. Not that pop stuff that came afterwards.
This is 1974, they didn't release an album until 1975. Were they a support act or was the ex Santanaism enough to give them top billing?
I love the pre-Steve Perry stuff.
Never new Bob Ross played guitar
Where's my damn time machine?
Listen to the album, Santana 3.
Originally from San Francisco.
Neal Schon's Journey.
Anybody know who the other guitarist is besides neal and ross?
George Tickner.
I think I was at this show!..Who was the headliner?
The headliner was The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Can you believe it? I was there too!
INCREDIBLE!
They actually remind me of them in the early era,as well as a few others,KILLER!
It's comparable 2 seeing Zappa plays Zappa opening 4 thee almighty legendary return to forever a few years ago,then the day b4,I got 2 actually see steely dan,2 groups that I thought that I'd never ever see live,WOW?!?!?!
LONG LIVE MUSIQUE

The Steve Perry era is a fucking farce compared to this.
Linette, Carlos Santana took
Neal Schon under his wing.

This was filmed a month and a half before I joined the human race...
I was 17 years old when I saw this concert unbelievable it's a shame you had to miss it but there's nothing you could do about it😅
