I dunno if you guys knew when Journey had a wet concert, but the Tucson event I think was cool. I never had the pleasure of experiencing such, since they usually cancel a concert if the rains come pourin in. I could just Imagine what those people experienced. rain, thunder and lightning as special effects, seems pretty nice. though I'll pass on the tornado, that's too much to handle ! :lol:

A few years back, a show in Minnesota was canceled because there was a tornado warning. I wasn't there, but people said that the weather got really ugly right after the announcement was made.

New York State Fair in 2004. We were all out there in a sea of rain ponchos. I was in 3rd row center, though, so it didn't matter a bit. And Augeri sang every note live, btw. He was in fine form that night.

What about the Hollywood Bowl where JSS fell on his ass?

I forget which one but it was either the 2001 show or the one the next year but it started raining pretty hard during the show (Verizon Wireless in Noblesville, IN), enough so along with the wind that the crew started covering up the equipment with plastic sheets, including The Whale. It only lasted for a few minutes but it looked at the time like it was going to storm it up pretty well.

Nah, Neal didn't move out of his spot most of the night - he couldn't have dropped anything.

Jeff was awesome that night regardless of the rain!!

It was an outdoor casino show west of Minneapolis forgot the name, but I was there and I was pissed, but not the band's fault. We spent at least an hour huddled in windowless rooms in the casino.

They really have a system for getting all the chips and money locked up in the casino quickly.

How about the concert on Frontiers and Beyond? I wasn't there but I think it was somewhere in Florida?
