Why "Let It Rain"?

Postby PianoMan1986 » Thu Feb 16, 2023 12:37 pm

Per usual there's little rotation in the setlist, but why the commitment to playing Let It Rain at every show this tour? Nothing against the song, but why not play something else from Freedom?

Haven't you heard? Neal thinks it's the future of Journey.

Crap likes this makes you wish Kalodner was still there forcing more wedding ballads on the band.

Progressive and ambitious is fine (see Eclipse), but LIR just sucks.

It’s works better live than on the album but it’s not the song I would choose to play from Freedom.

50th anniversary tour and they’re playing a non single on an album that was dead on arrival.

IMO, when they were deciding on the set list Jonathan told Neal that he would agree to one song from Freedom - pick on.

Shitty song.

"Don't Go," "You Got the Best of Me," "The Way We Used to Be," "All Day and All Night," "Life Rolls On," would've been better choices.

Not a great song

Just play Don't Go - great Journey sounding chorus

I love Let It Rain, it's a cool song! I wish that they had played it the last time that they played Cleveland in May of 2022.

Although, I was happy to hear You Got The Best Of Me and Dead Or Alive at that show.

I love Let It Rain, but I love all the songs on Freedom. Journey should really mix up the set list.
