West Palm Beach Set List

NealIsGod, thanks for your response. While I understand what you mean about disappointing fans, I think for the band, it was far less about disappointing fans and far more about making their money. I mean really, have there been other bands who hire a replacement singer in the middle of a tour that you know of? If there are, I've never heard of it. The only time this happened to a concert I had tickets to before -- that the singer of that band got sick -- the show was cancelled. And I know this isn't the 80s, but could you imagine if they had hired a replacement for SP then in the middle of a tour?

Sorry. I don't mean to be disagreeable on my first few posts!

That's OK. I really have no opinion yet on the JSS version of Journey. I need to see a quality boot or see them, live first.

I see your point, though. Of course, Journey would have lost A LOT of dough by cancelling. But Soto knows the songs, has a relationship with the band already, and was available. Things worked out perfectly for them. But they will not please everybody.

I will be at the show this Sunday with recorder hidden, so maybe I can get out with one-ERIC

Soul SirkUS also performed Journey tunes onstage while they were touring. So it doesn't seem unusual at all that he knows the material. IMO, that may account for the set list changing. They go with the songs he already knows and then add to it as he learns more.

Did JSS do a lot of Journey covers in the past? I know from links posted here that he did a couple with SoulSirkUS, but it seems he has learned a lot of songs very quickly and not just learned the words, but he's able to sign them with the band.

In the statement on his web site, he said that he used to sing those Journey songs in his car all the time and that he probably knows them better than he knows some of his own stuff.

Are you serious, Eric? Uh...your photo's at the top of the page, and your declaration is at the bottom! Last year they were checking the ladie's handbags!

Enjoy the concert, and celebrate your anniversary a bit early.

Picture taken care of? Hope to get it captured on tape. Onlty problem is I'm dropping off my computer Tomorrow before heading to Nashville. Could be up to 3 weeks before I get it back. Will not burn cds . Will have to get old computer out and get it running. But does not have what I need to make the show sound better. So maybe a few weeks to be able to make copies, if I am able to get it recorded. But I'll post a review Monday if I have old computer up and running.
I am going in with an open mind. What bits I have seen so far sound and look promising.-ERIC
