Captured

Captured is the first live album by the American rock band Journey. It was released on January 30, 1981, on the Columbia Records label. The album reached No. 9 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and went on to sell two million copies. This album was recorded during the band's Departure Tour in 1980. Tracks 1–4 were taken from a performance recorded at The Forum in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on August 8, 1980. Tracks 5 and 6 were from the performance at the end of the tour in Koseinenkin Hall, Shinjyuku, Tokyo, Japan, on October 13, 1980, and tracks 7–16 came from two shows at Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan, on August 4 and 5, 1980. The song "Dixie Highway" had not previously been recorded on any Journey studio album. Closing the album is the lone studio track, "The Party's Over", which was released as a single. In the liner notes, the album is dedicated to AC/DC lead singer Bon Scott, who died in February 1980. Scott is referred to as "a friend from the highway," as AC/DC had supported Journey the previous year on their "If You Want Blood" tour. This was the last Journey album for keyboard player and founder Gregg Rolie.
