Before this release, the sole Journey live album
was 1981's Captured, which although incredibly powerful,
was released right before the band exploded commercially. This live album features
two more album's worth of material, which, let's face it, were chocked filled with hits -
hence the title. More than half the material here is from those two albums, so the good news
is that this really isn't a rehash of what they've already done.
The bulk of this release is taken from a 1981 concert in Houston that, unbeknown at the
time, would be released in its entireity on cd a few short years later. At times things can
get a bit choppy. Steve Perry ad-libs "Houston" way too much thoughout his singing, and there's a weird
Japanese shout-out near the end of Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) (so this song was not,
obviously, recorded in Houston), but overall the album delivers
what it sets out to do. It would have been nice to have thrown in a few songs from the
Raised on Radio era. Not sure why it was skipped, other than the
fact that there were a few different members in the band.
