Gregg Rolie was still in the band, and it was before they really made it big with the Escape album a year or two later (still, they were headliners of the multi-act show).

That show's highlights were songs like Just the Same Way, Loving Touching Squeezing, Lights, Any Way You Want It, and Feeling That Way/Anytime. There was no Cain/Perry-schmaltz like Open Arms and Don't Stop Believing yet at that time.

Journey pretty much friggin' kicked ass live in 1980.
