JRNY has worked their ass’ off for 8 years in sweltering heat, high humidity, frigid air conditioning, high pressure, and thin air. They’ve spent long days in airports, and cramped quarters.
You make it seem like they are soldiers. For Christs' sake, they are musicians. And get paid really well. No sympathy from me. deal with it.
Bullshit. How you fight dehydration? Get some xxxxxxx water. i have seen their charter. they get so much bottled water, medicine, soda, beer, et al. Save the dramatics.
A website dedicated to the agenda with unlicensed illegal music can’t be enough; It’s got to continue here without jurisdiction. Where’s the music police, RIAA when needed?

Journey has endured a longer span than 8 years under those conditions. The band members (past & present) were placed in extreme conditions. In the 80’s, Journey had some luxurious amenities due to the era. The Journey of today started from county fairs, small venues … we have not forgotten these venues. Nor have we forgotten the toll of “being on the road”. We have seen Journey in their highs and lows. So often, that you can “read” their faces. I will have “feedback” regarding that last statement. Every year the venue size increased and touring conditions improved. Remember when we commented that the smaller venues created a more “personal” event? Ticket prices were absurdly low. Journey and all the supporting members (road crew, family members, friends, fans…) promoted and contributed to their success.
Bootleg’s is a controversial subject. Do I have them, yes? Do we support Journey, over 40 concerts? This family’s summer is devoted to Journey and past members. Our expenses for kennel boarding 2 small dogs (during tours) accumulate most concertgoer’s purchases. I can’t comment on their beer-tabs though.
I welcome these bootlegs. I however lose focus on finding “flaws & glitches”. I must have ADHD. I stop analyzing Journey’s performances and focus on their music.
My spouse and I have been married (much) longer than most. We have more “mileage” than most posters. Our son was raised on Journey. This is a Journey family. Time to pop the Asti. See you on the road.
