Live in Houston 1981: The Escape Tour is a live DVD/CD package by the American rock band Journey, released on 15 November 2005.[1][2] The content of the package was also released on 16 May 2006[1] as a separate CD and separate DVD on the Columbia Records label. It was released on 180-gram vinyl in 2022, in both black and colored versions.[2]

The material of the show was recorded and filmed for the then-fledgling MTV network on Journey's Escape Tour on 6 November 1981 at The Summit in Houston, Texas, at the height of the band's commercial success.

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

Closing the CD and vinyl versions 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.

Footage from this DVD is used in the infomercial for the Time-Life Ultimate Rock Ballads CD set.
