It's Their Greatest Hits...Live!
With audio recorded from concerts from 81-83, it's amazing how the songs are perfectly synced between each other to give it a concert feel. Released 10 years after Greatest Hits, Greatest Hits Live is a collection of songs from their most popular concerts. While it has a majority of the Greatest Hits songs it's interesting to see some non-Greatest hits songs which some are my favorites like "Escape", "Stone in Love", "Line of Fire", "After the Fall", and "Still They Ride". Also this has my favorite 7 minute version of Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'. It's a pretty good collection because of the lack of live Frontiers songs, a chance to introduce yourself to live Journey, and if you're like me and LOVE live Journey, This one's for you.


Great CD
That is not true with this cd. Most live albums are never as good as a the studio version. Every well known Journey song makes an appearance and several songs surpass their studio version. When I am in the mood for Journey I often chose this album over the 2 disk Essential Journey just because the live album truly has all the greatest hits that I want to hear. .


Truly Great
The live versions of hits like "Dont stop believin", and "wheel in the sky" are great symbols of the uniqueness of his voice. If you are one of the millions of fans who became intoxicated with the awesome power of Steve Perry's voice, then hearing him live will be a dream come true. Although this album includes some songs that I personally dont think are any good, overall it is a great collection and worth owning by any Journey fan.


Awesome CD. One of the best live CDs
I put this CD up there with B. There's not too many bands that play well live or even change the song from studio version, but Journey does it as good as anyone. O. C. 's "Extraterestial Live" and UFO's "Strangers in the Night. "

FYI - Journey has a new singer, Arnel Pineda from the Philippines. He was discovered on YouTube by Neal Schon. I haven't heard him as my work computer doesn't access it, but I heard he's pretty remarkable. Their also going to release a new CD in spring/summer of '08 and perform at the MGM Grand in Vegas.


Timeless Steve Perry Rocks
This album showcases that he is a atruly great musician- his voice is as good live as in the studio. I just discovered the magic of Steve Perry's voice, lyrics, and style and have become an avid fan. I love this aalbum.
