Journey: 1980-08-23 Largo, MD (FLAC_SB-Video Rip_2 CD)

Today is the 35th anniversary of a Journey show I never have uploaded and barely have seen out there before.  It was their show at the Capital Centre in Largo, Maryland and it was a great performance.

Every copy of this show seems to come from video rips.  And while it really isn't audibly noticeable, this show appears to run just a tad bit slow.  I was trying to synchronize this better audio with a good video source that the audio isn't as good on.  They would not stay in synchronization and that's how I realized this copy was running a little slow most likely.  I don't have time today to try and pitch/speed correct this and it is so minute of an issue it likely wouldn't have been noticed by anyone unless they read this.  Then again, it could be the video running a little fast too?

(1) 1980-08-23 Largo, MD (SB/Video)

While it appears there are some great video copies that exist from this 1980 show, they seem near impossible to get.  I've got a 2 DVD copy that is just 5.45 GB of MPEG video and it has a Dolby 5.1 audio stream.  However, it is still fairly blurry and not as good looking as the 1 DVD source.  I'm going to keep looking.

The audio being shared here is a huge upgrade to most audio for this show I've ever run across.  But it isn't perfect and has its flaws too.  But the show is fantastic and the band played a superb concert 35 years ago today.

The song "Homemade Love", one I know of on no other video and maybe on one more audio source, gets played this night in Largo.  And the Departure LP tour the band was on had such a great mix of old and new (at the time) Journey songs making it very hard to beat this tour's setlist for Journey music prior to the Escape release the following year.  I really like how Journey changed up each show it seems and they definitely did so on this night.

A friend, "techtuts", is working on remastering a different copy of this same show so there may be something even better to upload real soon.  In fact, as I paused a while to do some things at home, he sent me the unaltered copy of what he's working on and it sounds very good too.  So we'll see what happens and with what copy soon enough.  But since this is the 35th anniversary of the show and I've never uploaded anything from this one, I'm uploading this copy today for Journey fans like myself just to listen to and check out.

I'm not really sure what the title of this show means and I did not mistype it.  If anyone has the artwork for "Aliving and Departure" please let me know.  I'd love to get a copy and an internet search found nothing at all for it.

I hope you enjoy the show...
