No Lovin' Touchin'? Is that a first in a while?

I thought they'd come back out with LTS, but I guess they meant it when they said they were hungry.
I saw them three times last year. I could not BELIEVE how much better Arnel was! He has REALLY come into his own! I don't think he needs to take a back seat to anyone anymore.
And Deen KILLED! As talented as this band is, I think he's their top guy on show nights! (And yes, I KNOW how great Neal is. He's my favorite!)

[ttango1]

No LTS was weird but I didn't miss it all that much. I'm on my iPhone and I have some vids but can't upload till tomorrow evening.
I will say that the band sounded AMAZING. It was almost flawless even though the equipment setup WAS NOT Theirs. You'll see in the vids that the background & lighting was different but since it should be all about the music, that part Journey had covered. It was a solid 2 thumbs up.

Yeah, Journey needs to get rid of some of that 80's equipment. I remember one time a few years ago Neal came in late. He blamed it on the tubes. (not the Tubes band) This was not publicized, but he went to the back of the stage and yelled out to the roadies "fuckin tubes!"

What the heck are you talking about? Get rid of some of that 80's equipment? What does that have to do with the post you quoted?

I love that song, and actually it should be the official theme song of this message board.

[Rip Rokken]

...Neal came in late. He blamed it on the nubes. This was not publicized, but he went to the back of the stage and yelled out to the roadies "f-in nubes!"

FIXED! Or wait... I think someone mentioned during that recent webcast they saw some chicks lifting their shirts. Maybe he says "boobs"?

BACKSTAGE WITH JOURNEY

Before Journey appears at Pala Casino on Wednesday and Thursday, July 29 and 30, three dozen bath size towels need to be in their dressing room by 2:00 p.m. “We will also need six bath size towels put in the Artist vocal room by 1:00 p.m. Artist also requires one dozen had towels exclusively for stage use.” That’s 54 towels for five (apparently sweaty) guys, including their fifth lead singer, Arnel Pineda.

In addition, “All announcements must be done 20 minutes before the performance.” They want on-call an ear, nose, and throat doctor (“qualified”), an internist (“with hospital privileges”), and a chiropractor, as well as “a certified licensed experienced massage therapist.”

“Band lounge” requirements include two six-packs of Stewart’s Orange N’ Cream Premium Soda, two quarts of Martinelli’s apple juice, a case of Classic Coke (“in cans”), four quarts of Gatorade, and a half-gallon of orange juice (“fresh squeezed”). They also want a cooler stocked with an environmentally unfriendly case of bottled spring water, including eighteen large plastic cups.

On stage right and left, the band needs two complete hot water setups with honey, lemon wedges, and hot cups, and – since these are old guys whose eyesight may be failing - “both areas should be lit.”

After the band finishes their set, the dressing room needs a dozen bottles of iced down Samuel Adams beer (“no Budweiser”).

The band buses need twelve quarts of Gatorade (“assorted”), two quarts of Martinelli’s apple juice, two half-gallons of chocolate milk, three six-packs of beer (“Sam Adams or Corona”), and a case of non-alcoholic beer. The crew buses get four cases of spring water, two gallons of whole milk, four quarts of cranberry juice, and two cases of Dr. Pepper.

The crew busses require four more cases of plastic spring water bottles, with two additional cases of non-biodegradable landfill fodder going to the band bus.

Apparently, the “Don’t Stop Believing” band HAS stopped believing ----- in ecology.

Bands don't like their tour riders leaked...whoever from that venue gave the rider to that website might be in some trouble.

And all of the requirements for doctors and massage therapists have been there since the Arrival Tour. They like their massages apparently!

BACKSTAGE WITH JOURNEY

Below is a post by the ever resourceful Fabbest at AP's Official Site in re BACKSTAGE WITH JOURNEY:

Quote

As far as the rider goes in that "Backstage with Journey" article upthread, I wonder where the author got that, since it's strikingly similar to an ooooold rider (from the Arrvial 2001 tour) published by The Smoking Gun. You can see the full rider here:

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/backstaget ... rney1.html

Incidentally, The Smoking Gun lists Journey among the "Cutout Bin" bands...grrrr!

Unquote

Very resourceful she is indeed! Fabbest is one heck of a Journey fan who seems to have the right answers and rebuttals to anything and everything Journey, past to present, without being biased.

[wildchild1]

Is MAJESTIC still opening the show before SW??? I wish they would add "Send Her My Love" back...

Yeah, it's cool to hear them doing Majestic. Can't wait to see this show.
