Tough to replace SS, but I'll work on it.

Creature from the Black Lagoon?

I was there as well last night, Perfect review Matthew, I think you hit the nail right on the head.

Brilliant show, brilliant atmosphere. I also saw last years show with JSS. Its tough to compare the two. I enjoyed JSS performance a little more - mostly for the reasons you stated Matthew. Both shows had different strengths and a vastly different approach. I certainly noticed there was much more effort put into the lighting and the stage set this time around, which added to the atmosphere and created excitement . That really makes a difference.

One thing I might highlight is the awesome performance by Deen on Keep on Running and Mother , Father. Last nights performance of Mother, Father performance MIGHT be favorite Journey moment ever- and thats pretty bold statement!! I think I just closed my eyes and listened and man alive Deen sounded cool as hell!!!

Also, might put in a word for John Parr. I never thought I'd rate him, but I found myself enjoying his set immensely!! Nice little bonus suprise!

Great little international atmosphere as well- Philipino flags, Danish flags, and Italian flags waving around - and a few goofballs sprinting nonstop around the balcony with journey flags, made me think I was at the Eurovison song contest or something!

I beat the queue for a kebab last night as i decided to skip that one. Ill be in Cardiff too Monday - are any of us MR readers meeting up at a local pub beforehand??

[RocknRoll]

I was there as well. Nothing like being right up against the stage in front of Neal and Arnel. Great show. great music and what a terriffic audience. Another interesting tidbit, I understand Jimmy Page was at the show and watching from backstage.

Journey is definately back!!!!

[Just Mindy]

Thanks for the review Matthew. I appreciate your objectiveness.

Jimmy Page was definitely there. I bumped into him as he was chatting with John Parr and I had to ask him to step aside to let me through. I know Deen was really pumped up about that as well, and he put on the performance of his life on stage. I don't think I've ever seen him drumming with as much energy and power before.

Well they were stood in a doorway deep in conversation, and I didn't want to interrupt so I just mumbled 'excuse me' and ducked in between them.

Superstar Photographer Marty Moffatt coming thru!! See you on Thursday Marty!

[Saint John]

With Jimmy Page there Neal had to be fuckin' stoked!!! Any reviews pertaining to Neal's playing and stage antics? He's wireless now...did he move around?

He didnt move around a great deal and the stage antics were no more than what he usually does. His playing though was great- as good as I ever seen him- Certainly brought the house down in a couple of occasions- you could tell he was definitely swinging for the fences last night.

[sniper16]

sounds like a good show, i guess we ll get the short version in the states, maybe they will only play 3 new ones and add partys over, where were you, i would love for neal a co lead like rolie used to , or do no more lies to give arnel a break in the set. they could easily rotate about 4/5 old songs and do 1 each night during or just before the encore to appease use old farts.

hey prog is that photo from ky speedway

Thanks for the review Matthew glad to see you had a good time.

Hi Moonbeam, I've been at work since just a few hours after the concert finished so I haven't had a chance to even look through the photos I took yet, but I did manage to upload half a dozen or so this morning.

Here they are....















It will take me a day or two to go through the rest and put together a proper slideshow, but watch this space.

What's with the fruity fucking colors, Moonwalker? You tripping on acid this morning?

Thank you. I bet he was focused on substance over stage presence and that made him stay a bit still. I'd like to hear what JP thought of the show, and more importantly, Neal's playing.
