Journey Wednesday night in Nashville at the Bridgestone Arena was AWESOME. It was good to see Jon and Neal interacting with each other and laughing. The whole band sounded good and really seemed to have fun together again.
Arnel hit most of the high notes, and sounded good, he was great with the audience, and was down in the crowd at least twice.
Schon was on fire all night and played like he was 30 years younger.
When Arnel went to introduce Deen, he said the man who needs no introduction, and everyone was shouting Deen's name.
Cain is no spring chicken, but he moved around when not behind the piano . But his movements did show some age behind them, that is not meant as a complaint. He shows his age, but shows the skill to go with it. Both Jon and Neal visited the other persons side often
Jason sang all the ROR songs except the opening song Be Good To Yourself . My only complaint of the show was Suzanne, which Jason sang. It seemed in a lower key( which seemed to make Neal's guitar growl) but Jason's vocals got buried in that .
I forget the new bassist's name, but he stayed by the drummer all night. Him, Deen and Arnel always seem to be joking with each other. At the end of the show Schon threw some Jerseys out in the crowd and handed one two to Jon to do likewise. Neal an Jon stood beside each other and the all bowed. Everyone left but Arnel who hung around for a minute or two waving and shaking hands
A great show!!
