Since it's a charity event I thought they would play something inspiring like "What it takes to win" but the Dirty dozen seems to be back yet again judging by Dr. Fu's setlist, though seeing as this show was more for the people who volunteered their time to the cause, it's all good I suppose.


At least they are still playing 4 from Rev. But yeah, it's kinda sad when I see a much wider variety of songs at a Frontiers show than I ever will at a Journey show stateside.


Five, actually. :D


Ah, skipped right over Where Did I Lose Your Love. Anyway, point still stands: Nice to see them remembering they put out an album a year ago (since they seem to forget about these kinda things in the new millennium within a year or so :lol:). But still, throw us some TBF/Arrival bones here and there at the very least...


Yeah, I was going to say they did five new songs. But I agree, take off Be Good To Yourself and a couple more like that and throw in some other great songs they haven't played recently or ever. There's no reason not to. Journey has a catalogue of fantastic songs. Forget hardcore fans who want a better changeup, not even the casual fans are pining for songs like BGTY or WITS to be played every single year and would love to hear other songs instead.

apparently most of the audience only cared about the dirty dozen. i watched the crowd pour out for beer & bathrooms during each new song, then frantically run back when they heard something familiar.

Take out BGTYS or Wheel? Fuck that, take out the wet panties ballads instead. BGTYS is, imho, Journey's best concert song. It's what the band is all about: Great vocals, big harmonies, a huge hook, a big guitar solo, and great piano playing.

But yeah, they have a catch 22 as cyndy and you both alluded to. They can't really change it up too much.

Oops, I've been so guilty of that at concerts in my lifetime for different bands or singers. :oops:

Maybe they're better off just touring for a few years without a new album, seeing as the new songs are only good for giving you an oppurtunity of getting rid of the beer you just drank. :lol:

This just proves how much Neal, Jon and Steve still love each other. Why else let your kids perform the one song written solely by He who can not be named? Reconciliation is in the air (or maybe that's napalm). :D

Hey, that was cool. Nice of them to let their kids play with them.
Neal's kid has a lot of Neal's mannerisms.
NO. He's NOT Steve F'ing Perry. But he's Arnel F'ing Pineda and I'm okay with that.

I must say Miles Schon is damn good. And that little kid on drums is awesome.

This is the first time I enjoyed LTS so much.

Aw, too bad Miles wore a hat. I love his fro with a bandana on, so much like his dad. I saw from a couple of years ago a clip from one of Jon's charity get-togethers and it looked like it was set up in a huge backyard, where all three kids played on their own together and did a song. They were much younger. It was cute.

Miles didn't have his big 'fro yesterday, his hair was in braids. He's a fabulous artist and it's pretty obvious he learned from the best!

A show like this proves just how screwed up the Journeymusic site really is. A new fan going to that site would be totally lost trying to get feedback about last night's performance.

Hate to say it, but you're right. I miss the old "Captured" section where they encouraged youtubes of the shows. Was always really easy to go there and see the latest footage. Perhaps they'll add a section like that.

Nice to see the 2 guys that get ripped for not really being good people and/or good family men to have their kids up there jamming. To quote that nimrod Tito "They're good people!!!" :lol: :twisted: 8) That was really cool of them to get their kids some exposure to concert crowds. Miles can really fucking play. I've seen a lot of his youtubes and the kid has a lot of "soul." Just like his old man.

Good to hear Arnel coming out of the gate strong. Many shows last year he came out a bit rusty on NWA. Last night sounds perfect though.

Well, I do love WITS, but I could care less about BGTY. Never have. Just don't take out songs like Only The Young and Faithfully. Love those songs.

Great clip, Tom. Deb, I agree, and to me Only The Young symbolizes the Classic Journey sound for me that sets them apart from other bands regarding their songs.

It appears Rob91902 keeps uploading songs to YouTube from the concert. So, hopefully, he recorded all the songs and WITS will be forthcoming tonight. I'm a Neal loon, but I doubt I will know the riff in WITS.
