Neal @0:49


(amazing crowd btw).

It looked like Neal flat disappeared after that. Nice to see the guys having fun. Arnel always feels like he is part of the band.

I remember checking out your pre-concert venue Rokkumentaries on YT.

Hm...that AV must be a Memphis shot.

I started recording some songs, but was sitting with Fabbest and when I saw she was recording, I decided to stop and just enjoy the show. I do have a few brief clips I may string together, but hard to beat her videos. All 4 of AP's U.S. moderators were sitting together in the front, and we just had a total blast. Here is one picture of all of us. Fabbest is in the black directly to my left, then Toni next to her, and Emma on the end.

Hey, glad you did and those were the longest videos I've done to date. They are kinda silly, but I learn more and more every time I do one.

Yes, that was from Memphis -- have several cool pics and am just about ready to post some more. Hopefully tonight.

You're one lucky guy to be graced with such great company. Looks like it was a killer time. I do have to ask...what was up with that shirt Arnel was wearing? Did laundry get low and he had to borrow from Cherry?

It was a killer time, and he actually has more on than I ever wear in my hotel room... LOL! I finally got my pics put together and added some of Toni's to round them out since I didn't take as many as I should. Click the thumbnail below to view the slideshow!



I wanted to mention that AP told me personally how blown away and humbled he was when he found out about his MR award. We talked about MR for a bit and he wants everyone to know that he understands and sympathizes completely where some people are coming from, because he said "American rock and roll is sacred." He also mentioned to me that his one personal wish was to someday have a front and center seat to see Journey perform with Steve Perry at least one more time. I told him to please save me a seat! He's just as big a classic Journey fan as anyone here, and takes the honor of that job very seriously. And dang, did he kick some butt that night!!! Another sold out show and he made a ton of new fans. It was really special seeing younger people, teens and early 20-somethings getting into the band so much.

So, Ripster, are we going to get a review of the concert?

You know, come to think of it I left a few important details out. I'll try to write more when I have time.

So Rip, I notice the band has some nice downtime. Are they all on vacation somewhere together like a big family? Did they go to Disneyland?

whats up with the blouses?

How were the bugs and humidity? I live 1 and 1/2 hours away in Arkansas. I go to Memphis from time to time. Mosquitos are brutal aren't they? I wanted to go but the good tickets were scarfed up quick.
