When a band has Neal Schon.Santana's protege,and Anysley Dunbar playing on the drums at the same time along with a good synthesizer player,you know you're going to be hearing some unique world class music.When I saw them twice as a warm-up band for 2 other well known bands,both times they blew the other bands away tremendously being mainly an instrumental centered band.But then they switched over to a vocal pop band and ruined their sound.Too bad.
Totally agree the 1st version of Journey was totally under rated ... you need to put a set of headphones on and listen to this whole album un-interruprted of the Gems of all Gems to be sure!
I saw them do this song in 1976 on the last day of school( my junior year of high school) a free concert in Golden Gate Park. Yesterday & Today open, it was a classic SF day. I was hooked them from that day on, till SP came along. What a downer
If the last 2 min. of this song does't define excitement in music then I don't know what does! Don't stop listening to this song during the 1st 5 min.or you'll miss the climax.Spend 7 min. of your time and listen to the full song,trust me,you won't regret it!
Considered a flop?Not by me.It only took people 36 years to realize this was Journey's only good album EVER.Listen and let youself be taken into a short journey of adrenalin rushing ecstasy,like rock music was created for.
Great song off a great album. Released in 1975, it didn't recieve much attention, and was considered a flop. Regardless of that, it's one of my favorite Journey albums.

People like to point to album sales after Perry arrived but then again,. more people eat at McDonalds than Texas de Brazil.

Everything Journey did before Steve Perry was great. Infinity was alright, but I think pretty much everything they did after that sucked.
