Across the Airwaves catches Journey on stage in Denver in 1979, a radio broadcast recording now released on CD.

The timing is what makes it special. Steve Perry had recently joined, Infinity had turned the band's fortunes around, and Evolution was carrying them into arenas across America. Gregg Rolie was still on keyboards and sharing vocals, so this lineup bridges the band's jam-friendly early years and the polished hitmakers to come.

Wheel in the Sky arrives with its chugging riff and Perry hitting the high notes with ease. Lights, the band's love letter to San Francisco, gets a warm, unhurried reading, and Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin' brings the crowd in on its doo-wop flavoured chorus. Deeper cuts such as La Do Da show off the band's harder-rocking side.

Neal Schon is in tremendous form throughout, his solos fluid and fiery, and the rhythm section keeps things tight while leaving room for stretches of musical adventure. As a broadcast recording, it has the immediacy of a single night rather than the polish of a studio record, with the audience's excitement captured right alongside the band.

For fans of late seventies Journey, this is a vivid snapshot of a band on the rise and clearly loving every minute of it.
