The soundtrack to "Vision Quest" was loaded with hits. Tom Cochrane & Red Rider's "Lunatic Fringe" was reissued, as was Foreigner's "Cold as Ice" and John Waite's "Change". Madonna made her first film appearance, performing two singles from the soundtrack, "Gambler" & "Crazy For You", the latter of which got heavy airplay on MTV (of course). Journey's "Only The Young" should've gotten a similar amount of airplay, in this writer's view.
The video may or may not be the actual video, as it's movie footage, including a quick shot of Madonna.
The music video is awesome but I don't think it's the original one from MTV. If it were, there would have been shots of Journey performing interspersed in between.
ReplyDeleteI remember watching this film when it was in theaters back in the day. It wasn't bad, (the big draw obviously was seeing Madonna), but I never considered it a classic and I don't even think it turned up on cable either!
Unfortunately, the official video that did get the airplay has so far been lost to the mists of time. I know Vision Quest made the rounds of pay cable (HBO, Cinemax, etc.), but hasn't been on TV in years.
