Hello all,
Just got back from a MOST AMAZING concert at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater tonight. I got to hook up w/ a lot of other fellow Journey Fanatics, both before and after the show, and everyone agreed that Journey is firing on all cylinders now, with Jeff ! Jeff seems really comfortable in his newly appointed, "OFFICIAL" slot. So, here goes with the details. No opening act. Just like w/ the Def Leppard tour, The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" preceded the band's entrance onto the stage. Very similar to Queen's "We Will Rock You" preceding Def Leppard - great warm-up intro to let you know the show is about to start. Journey took the stage at 8:22 pm, and finished their last encore and bows at 10:15 pm. 1 Hr., 55 Min. - Great show, Great Energy. The band interacted wonderfully with each other, laughing and high-fiving each other on stage, and interacted very well with the crowd - Jeff, especially. They threw out so many guitar picks and drum sticks to the audience by the end of the show - a great bonus if you caught one! Fashion Report: Jon - Brown pants, white shirt. Neal - all black outfit - black button-down shirt (open half-way) - NO sunglasses tonight. Jeff had on his patented blue jeans with the metal chain, and a variety of shirts. At the end, he wore a Miami Heat jersey, and then, for Separate Ways encore, wore a Florida Panthers jersey. Very cool !

Set List: 1 hr. 55 Min.

1. Message Of Love
2. Neal Solo
3. Rubicon
4. Stone In Love
5. Ask The Lonely
6. Wheel In The Sky
7. Send Her My Love - Jeff was AMAZING !
8. Faith In The Heartland - AWESOME !
9. Edge of The Blade
10. I'll Be Alright Without You
11. Chain Reaction
12. Lights
13. Opened The Door - AMAZING VERSION - RARE!
14. Jon Solo
15. Open Arms
16. Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'
17. Escape
18. Where Were You - Rocked The House !
19. Faithfully
20. Don't Stop Believin'
21. Any Way You Want It
Encore:
22. Separate Ways

Anyway, it was great to see everyone tonight - enjoyed hanging out w/ the Journey Crew from Texas, California, Michigan, and other parts of Florida ! You Guys Rock !
Can't wait until the new CD next year !
Journey Rocks - 2007 & Beyond !

Regards,

Michael

CORRECT

Show was awesome, 3 for 3 with Where Were You in South FLA. The band was on fire tonight, amazing performance !!!!!!!!
The most fun I have seen a band have on stage .
Got to say a quick hello do DCvader and RockinDEano, great too meet you guys!

Incredible !!

Faith In The Heartland Is Back to my relief and Jeff supposedly does a mean SHML...

Hello all,

Glad everyone here had as wonderful a time as I did ...

Zino - sorry we couldn't hook up before the show ... would have been nice to meet you - I'll definitely have to stop by the restaurant or something to say 'hey' to a fellow Journey fan ...

AR, DCVADER, and of course, DEANO - glad you guys were down here to enjoy the shows, as I think that they're a special "treat"for 2007 ... Dean, shoot me a PM when you get back ...

Regards,

Michael

another great set list...

Thanks Micheal for posting about it here!
Glad you enjoyed yourself, from what I have
heard it was a great gig.


JoePa glad your treated with one of your tracks
back in the set list.

thanks for the reports!

i swear i heard years ago that jss was asked to join journey when they were looking to replace sp. no disrespect to steve augeri but could you all just imagine if jss took this job back in 98?

florida panthers! alright jeff!! }=C)) since my boy (ruslan salei) signed with them this year i have to like them... and it seems for him & the panthers it was a good move. he's wearing the "A"!! i'm so proud!! }=C))

If somebody will tell me how to do it, I've got several songs saved to my digital camera (audio only) that I'll share with you guys. The Clearwater songs are probably better than the Pompano, cause we were standing with Deano, Vader, AR and 'the Normanator' at Pompano and there's a lot more talking going on.

Help...

I haven't heard this before. I'd love to hear more about it.
