Ever since I heard it for the first time it gets me in a strange place. Certainly, it is problem the most underrated Journey song. Opinions? <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gFC8sDTXlng&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gFC8sDTXlng&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
Not bad. I'm partial to Stone in Love. Here it is, live in Houston: 1981. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0EgeUhMy5mM&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0EgeUhMy5mM&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
That song takes me back to the summer of '78, just before my senior year of high school. Definitely my favorite Journey Album. I still have it on vinyl.

Every time I hear this song I hear "It's kissin the derriere". Then I found out it's actually "It's kissin the day-ay-ay".
Holy Jesus, a Journey thread?? I'm all over this... This is probably my favorite Journey song. This is from when they were toying with going from a jam-band to a pop-band and they had just hired Steve Perry. They were "trying him out" by letting him split the vocal duties with Gregg Rolie (keyboards). LOL. Just hearing Steve's voice, you knew Gregg's days were numbered. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H0RFpXrPv2g&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H0RFpXrPv2g&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> Open Arms is right up there too, since I got my first boob squeeze and ass grab while dancing to it at the 7th grade dance. Oh, the mammaries....er, uh....memories.

Yes, when MTV used to be about music.....and some people could actually sing or rap. That one video -don't stop believing- live in houston- crazy performance-classic (don't know how to embed video )
The exchange of Greg Rollie for (Ex-Baby) Jon Cain was a major turning point for this Bay Area favourite. Cain was the final piece in the transition from Carlos Santana's backing band, all the way to adult contemporary success. It is a shame that so many talented bands from the 1970's bowed to major label pressure, and morphed into 1980's radioheads. (Example: Asia, Yes, Chicago, Foreigner and REO Speedwagon).
Very true. I think their 70's and early 80's material is superior to anything afterwards. Infinity, Evolution, Departure, and even Escape (Cain's first album) were still very guitar heavy. They lost me at Frontiers when Cain and Perry pretty much took over all the writing.
