Neal Schon on Tour!

[Don]

I just need to catch Gregg Rolie next time he's in town. So cool when you don't know what is going to be played next. It's like seeing Neal and Journey in 1981 all over again.

July 9th he is in Santa Cruz, at the Beach Boardwalk. Looks like the only tour stop in California unless they add more.

a fan fires a bottle towards the stage, and hits Schon right square on the dome- he was bleeding like Jana on a day 4 of her period.....Perry was hot; fired off some F bombs and threaten to kick the shit out of the douche who fired the bottle.

Even though I'd never throw anything at Neal, I'd've taken credit for it just to answer the singer's challenge and mop the stage with the Portuguese runt.

And I would take the challenge just to mop the floor with the board's big mouth mental runt!

Have a Great day!

A bit OT, but I just thought this was interesting.

This girl played with Miles Schon and John Varn when they opened for Schon at the HOB. She definitely did an outstanding job, so this is nice to see.

Yes she was. The Blues sound she had going on reminded me of our own SusieP.

Interesting. Madison Cain and Jon performed Faithfully together first of April. Everytime a clip is put up on YouTube it is removed. Hmmmmmm......
You would think Jon would want it for publicity for his daughter's career.

Not if they are so awful that they are embarrassing. Not that I would know, since I haven't heard any of them.

they were posted briefly on the plokker site and people seemed to like it, and then each time a new video was found it was taken off youtube.

I was able to see The Miles Schon Band last year and they are better than The Neal Schon Band, Steve Lukather's band and The Trev Lukather Band. I hope the song "Samson" makes the new CD. It totally fucking blew me away live. And their frontman, Chris Perry, is a rocker's rocker.

Looks like Neal still likes utilizing the latest technology. Sounds like he's tested this on his mini-tour maybe use for future international tours.


Multi-Platinum Artist & Guitarist Neal Schon Hits the Road on Solo Journey with DiGiCo SD8

Multi-platinum recording artist and guitarist Neal Schon hit the road this March on a mini-tour before heading to the studio with Journey. Schon's brief western club tour included a live recording for a future DVD at the historic Fillmore Auditorium.

Multi-platinum recording artist and guitarist Neal Schon hit the road this March on a mini-tour before heading to the studio with Journey for the band's forthcoming release. The Neal Schon Band made its debut at the 2010 NAMM Show and took to the highway on a brief swing through clubs in and around the West Coast, including a live recording for a future DVD at the historic San Francisco Fillmore Auditorium.



Working primarily with in-house production staff and gear, the crew carried a mic package, cables, stands, stage boxes and a splitter box all owned by Journey. Additionally, engineer James McCullagh, arranged a DiGiCo SD8 to accompany him at FOH on the tour, after extensive experience mixing on international tours on DiGiCo consoles with Lucinda Williams and others.

Over the course of the 10-day rehearsal in Journey's Bay Area warehouse, McCullagh set the SD8 up in a separate room outfitted with a set of studio monitors. In that time, he was able to lay out the console for the tour—which comprised 40 inputs excluding doubled channels), plus 8 outputs for Left, Right, Subs, Fills, Smart, Talkback and Record L&R—and to experiment with mic selection and onboard effects/compression.

"I'd been wanting to try this console out in a live setting," he explains, "and once we got on the road, I found it was perfect for what we needed. Going from a D5/D1 to the SD8 was a little different, but nothing major. The basic structure for all DiGiCo consoles (digico.org) is the same, so it took me about a day to adjust. Working in small clubs as opposed to larger venues does require a slightly different approach, but in terms of how I use the console, it's still the same. I still double my snare channel and heavily compress one of them, and I still route the whole kit to a drum bus, heavily compress them and bring that back on a channel. I guess the only difference is I just use less of it in the PA."



Citing perhaps his favorite feature about the SD8, and DiGiCo consoles in general, is the sound. "I just like the way they sound," he offers. "And over the years, I've mixed on quite a few. This and the it's small footprint was the fundamental reason I asked for the console… but I'm also big fan of the multi-band compression."



The increased challenge of playing in clubs was lessened considerably with the inclusion of the SD8. "Even though this gig is a simple, straight-up Blues/Rock tour, playing in clubs is always a challenge. But merely having a console with the flexibility of the SD8 helps solve most of these challenges, and the SD8 rocks it so well."
