I'm just hours away now from leaving for the Moondance Jam in Walker! Journey, Sheryl Crow, Kansas and Foghat headline the first night, Whitesnake, Judas Priest, and Lita Ford on the second, and Yes, Asia, Grand Funk Railroad on the third. I can hardly contain the excitement!
This will be my third Journey show, and my first outdoor Journey show (with a brand new camera to boot!) Watch my site (Melodic Rock Concerts), along with my Twitter page for the latest. I'll try and get the Journey stuff up as soon as I can, and I might even be able to twitter the set list!

Enjoy it, man. Looking forward to your pictures. If you end up Twittering the set list, I'll try to bring it over here to MR for a live thread update.

Thanks!!
I hear that from my parents on a regular basis. When I first read it, I instantly heard my Dad saying it in my head.

I wonder what's impressive. Did Friga get some new toys? It's usually pretty much the same every time, except the Faz gets played here and the Whale gets played in Europe.

Of course that's not all. Why do you think they would ever open with Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' and close with Open Arms? I cringed just typing that.

It was a great show at Moondance. Despite the freezing cold and the rain, and a starting time of 11pm Journey treated us to a superstar performance. They were on stage for nearly two hours and provided a primarily rocking set. Arnel looks even fitter than last year, leaping and running around on stage like a kid but without missing a single note.
I managed to photograph about three quarters of the show from the pit and I'll post some of those soon. Matt (Weatherman) also photographed most of the set I think so I think there'll be quite a few pics between us.

Looking forward to the pics Marty.

With that kind if weather, what are the odds that Arnel is sick already, one week into the tour?
