Funny, Ronnie Milsap's still looking for... ugh. No, a Ronnie Milsap 'looking for' joke is too easy. Nevermind.

If I had to use one word to describe the show: AMAZING!!!
Maybe not quite a sold-out show, but empty seats were few and far between. Even Rockford's Katie Crowther (WTVO/FOX 39) was at the show as well as Eric Wilson (13 WREX).
This show was the first time I had seen Heart and despite Ann & Nancy Wilson joking about performing material for decades, neither shows their age or any signs of stopping anytime soon. Ann can still mesmerize a crowd with her powerful soaring vocals, while Nancy still complements with great harmonies and enthusiastic (even childlike) guitar playing. The rest of their band was solid as well throughout the night contributing their own idiosyncrasies while still staying true to the music. Their set-list included the fan-favorites and a few other gems that the audience probably didn't expect, but still responded with great response and applause.
As for headliner's, Journey, they truly are firing on all cylinders and seem to have some new life with the addition of lead singer, Arnel Pineda. Of course the band played many of their greatest hits, but also played welcome additions from their most recent album, "Revelation." The only common complaint from anyone at the show was the repetitive confusion from Arnel that "we" were Chicago -- somehow I hoped someone might correct him, but for the show that this awesome band gave Rockford, I think we can let it slide. To my own ears Ross Valory's bass seemed a bit low in the sound mix, but overall everything seemed balanced. As far as technical difficulties, there seemed to be a guitar problem during the intro. for the band's "Wheel in the Sky," although correction was prompt. Neal Schon's guitar playing is still cutting and yet fluid. Jonathan Cain continues to show his versatility between keyboards, rhythm guitar, and harmonica. Ross Valory continues to express (literally) his humor onstage while playing to the fans and carrying the low-end of things. Deen Castronovo is still a powerful force to be reckoned with behind the drums -- if you've attended any other Journey shows, you'll know he has a set of pipes himself when it comes to vocals. Saving the best for last, Arnel Pineda -- small in stature, yet a force of nature singing to the heavens and blazing back and forth across the stage while commanding the audience's attention. Wow, what a sight to watch. The band really has a great chemistry at this point in their careers and I (as well as other fans) look forward to the future. To those of you that decided to "stop believin',"...well, you're missing out.
Glad you enjoyed the show. Sound issues seem to be a common theme this year 
Not surpised you heard something a little off. LAuckily it was only Ross.

I agree 1000%. People stop going to the shows because they're pissed at the band. I hate to say it, because I'm friends with some of these people, but that is fucking stupid. You all know you you are.
I'm glad you enjoyed the show. It's cool that you went with your dad because I took my daughter to her first Journey concert last month. We had a blast.
Journey is running on all cylinders, and sound as good as ever. For all you of people that can't let go of the past, get a fuckin shrink.

To be honest, I wonder how many people who are fans of Journey are not going to Journey concerts because they are pissed at the band. That may be an easy excuse when you're worried about your job or Journey is 4 hours away this year and you got a couple babies to get nannied, but I wonder how many people REALLY won't see the band for the reason that they are "pissed at the band."

I ran into a couple long time fans who I did not expect to see. It's still hard for most old Journey fans to stay away and I feel sorry for those who remain bitter and miss out on some great shows.
Back to the concert. It was a great show complete with an extended extended version of WITS. Neal was on fire and went from one side of the stage to the other several times. Ross was hilarious as usual and AP is really turned into quite the show man, he was connecting with everyone in the audience not just those up front. I really missed Deen singing tho. There were a few gliches in the sound, but this band knows how to recover seamlessly.
I love Heart but Ann seemed to be struggling a bit tonight, but man does she still have the pipes and still put on a fantastic show.
There was a strict no camera policy which I believe is due to Heart. At Indy security told folks that no cameras could be used during Heart's set but Journey had no problem with it. At Rockford they were checking for cameras at the entrance, so pics are going to be rare. This is one time where I would love to see a you tube of WITS. Oh well, I guess I will just have to see another concert.

I don't know. I was at the Thackerville show, where it was only Journey, and there was a strict no camera policy. I ignored it after I saw a multitude of others using theirs, but I got scolded very strongly by some old ugly woman.

He did that in Oklahoma too. The majority of the people there were from Texas, because Texas doesn't allow gambling, and there are several casinos in Oklahoma, right across the border that take advantage of that. WinStar being one of them. Jon Cain said "Good people of Oklahoma, how are you doing?" But Arnel kept saying "Dallas, how are you doing?" or something similar. It may not have been as glaring there as it was at your show, but someone needs to have a chat, I think.
