For any Journey fan this is as good as it gets! The transfer from laser disc to DVD is superb, bar none. Since this is the imported Laser disc version from japan, it is the full version of the documentary/concert not the edited one found on the VHS here in the US or re-release on short lived DVD version. The one thing that i will address is that since the laser disc is from japan, it does have closed caption permanently on and can not be disabled but, the audio is in English. Don’t let this stop you from getting this awesome DVD. It just brings authenticity to the transfer from laser disc to DVD. Thank you MVR for sharing this, at long lost, highly sought after gem.

A must have for any true Journey / Steve Perry fan! Over the years I’ve had several “copies” plus, the original VHS of this documentary and now this one from the guys at Music Video Resource. This remaster DVD, by far is the best video quality I have come across!

I can’t say enough how happy I am with DVD. The specific reason I purchased it was because it has concert footage from the June 4, 1983 Philadelphia concert. The inclusion of ‘Don’t stop Believing’ was as it is in the ‘Frontiers and Beyond’ Documentary as well as the Director’s Cut.
In addition it contains John Facenda narrating. The ’83 Philly concert contained Faithfully which eventually was released as a music video. This concert has so much personal meaning for me and my wife, as it’s where we met some 38 years ago watching our all-time favorite band at the height of their career. We will cherish that memory til the day we die. To find this DVD with the concert and the band playing our two most favorite songs – ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ and ‘Faithfully’ – was just amazing for us.
Fortunately, I can only give this review (5) stars. If I could, I give it a (10) for being a complete product plus a product of quality.

As mentioned, in another review, there are Japanese subtitles with the commentary, so don’t think it’s a setting with your DVD player, when playing back. This is an awesome DVD! Anyone who has seen the Journey Greatest Hits DVD, will see where some of the video footage comes from for that DVD, most likely being this Philadelphia concert. The song “Faithfully” is not a concert video, as it appears to be the same video on the Greatest Hits DVD, which I believe was a MTV video release, but the whole DVD still kicks ass! There are songs on this DVD that are NOT on the Greatest Hits DVD.
