Journey's third live album and second concert DVD, Live in Houston 1981: The Escape Tour, was released in November of 2005 as a CD/DVD package and in May of 2006 as a separate CD and separate DVD on the Columbia Records label.

Recorded and filmed on Journey's "Escape" tour in November of 1981 at The Houston Summit in Houston, Texas, "Live in Houston 1981" captures the band at the height of their commercial success.

The concert was first filmed and recorded as a concert for the then-fledgling MTV network

Hits such as "Lights", "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'", "Wheel in the Sky", and "Any Way You Want It" are in evidence plus tracks from the band's then-current album "Escape" like its title cut, "Open Arms", "Who's Cryin' Now" and "Don't Stop Believin'" .

Closing the CD version of the concert is the track, "Party's Over (Hopelessly in Love)" which was not on the DVD. Instead the DVD has bonus interviews with the band from 1981 and 1982 plus an album advertisement for Escape.
