In 1983, I saw Journey live on the Frontiers tour, and the crowd reaction was absolute arena-rock hysteria. Every time they showed on the video screens, the entire building erupted.

This was the first time I experienced this type of crowd reaction, and it left an indelible memory. I can still remember the roar of the crowd, the feel of the sound on my body, and the sense of amazement.

With Journey now out on their “Final Frontier” tour, it really hit me how much time has passed and how much the band (and the era) has changed.

Did anyone else here catch them live during the Escape/Frontiers years? What’s the most intense crowd you remember from that era?
