It will be many years before Journey's music will be known as anything but soupy '70s arena rock and embarrassingly overwrought '80s pop. But that day will come: the songs and the playing are just too good for the scorn and ridicule to endure forever. Journey: Greatest Hits DVD 1978-1997 will do little, however, to hasten the band's salvation. In fact, if it weren't such a gift to those who love the music, a case could be made for suppressing the disc's video content, so unimaginative is most of the directing and so damning is the attire (or lack thereof). But even if sweaty guys running around in tight jeans and no underwear isn't really your thing, the disc has its treats. There's MTV nostalgia, pure and simple--"Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)," with its mimed quayside performance and strutting high-heeled model, is perhaps the quintessential "What were they thinking?" video. We also get exciting glimpses of the early band (with keyboardist Gregg Rolie passing the lead-vocal torch to newcomer Steve Perry) kicking out classics like "Feeling That Way," "Lights," and "Just the Same Way." Many of the songs feature live audio as well as video, and it's here, most notably in "Who's Crying Now" and "Stone in Love," that lead guitarist Neal Schon cuts loose with some extended licks. An unexpected pleasure is 1996's heartfelt ballad "When You Love a Woman." The guys are aging gracefully, Steve Smith's drumming is better than ever, and the video itself boasts the most tasteful production of the bunch. --Michael Mikesell |

Dissapointing sound by O. Norman (Norway)  2 Stars
November 17, 2009
Yes, I know this is a milestone hits DVD, but I do feel dissapointed with the sound.
No DD or DTS, no surround other than what my receiver can fake (Pro Logic)
A lot of historical goodies here, but I would much rather go for "Live in Houston" - a brilliant concert and excellent sound (DD).

August 10, 2009
If Your a rock fan than you need this gem in your personal library. These dudes truly rock hard and are so underated in the rock world. Steve perry is such an awesome singer and Danny and Greg are awesome guitar players as well. Well worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Simply Outstanding !!!! This Collection Contains Some Rare Live Performances with Randy Jackson on Bass (The American Idol Guy) by Gary Covington (Louisiana) 5 Stars
May 06, 2009
This is an outstanding mixture of live performances & music videos of Journey from 1978 through 1997. It contains 18 songs. It mainly features Steve Perry on lead vocals, Neal Schon on lead guitar, Jonathan Cain on Keyboards & vocals, Ross Valory on bass, Steve Smith on drums, Gregg Rolie on keyboards & vocals & Aynsley on drums. You do get around 4 live performances with Randy Jackson (the American Idol Judge) playing the bass guitar, and he is good. I've seen Journey perform live before, and they are a great live band. This dvd is great for any Journey fan or any Rock & Roll fan period. I like it and I recommend it. Thanks!!!!

almost perfect by eric shaffer (cleveland, ohio United States)  3 Stars
April 03, 2009
Worth the price for the cheese-fest of Seperate Ways and After the Fall videos. Catch future American Idol judge Randy on bass in the Girl Cant Help It video.
The concert footage looks HORRIBLE, dark, muddy colors all run together being generally poorly lit. Hard to tell the band member apart except Schon has a hilarious Mod Squad AFRO! These poorly lit live videos are dissapointing to an MTV generation Xer who grew up with bright, crisp, Bon Jovi in concert videos. Minus a star.
However, where the hell is the king of cheezy videos "Chain Reaction"? With Perry and Schon in the bar hitting on a manequin? A SIN OF OMMISSION to leave this out!!! How can someone think "Seperate Ways" is great but "Chain Reaction" nope is too cheesey? Lose a star for this glairing ommission. Idiots.
