MR

This was played a LOT on the radio when it came out.

When was the last time it was performed in concert? It's not been in the setlist for a long time.

so which new song do you want them to cut? just giving you a hard time here...

Didn't they play it last year? I think so, but Deen did it all through 06 and the shows in 07.

Their second highest charting single(#4) behind Open Arms(#2). Get's played every afternoon on the Adult Contemporary station here in L.A. Everyone in the office knows it by heart even if they're not Journey fans.
I think Journey just played it last week. I saw it in one of the review setlists, unless it was a mistake.

Just talked with a friend about that the other night after the O show, would much rather have this in the set, and drop the pee-pee song

I have yet to hear it live, but I know they did play it at a few shows last year. I'd much rather hear "WCN" than something like "Still They Ride", or even "Wildest Dreams". What is the pee-pee song? LOL! Is that a song where people get up and take a pee-pee break?

This song, according to Steve Augeri, is absolute murder on the vocal chords.

It's also absolute murder on my ears .... This was my pee pee song, beer song, etc....

I am personally thankful that I have not heard it live in recent years.

It's been in a setlist this month.

Wow, I can see why they don't play it more. The crowd wasn't digging that.

I was really hoping to hear WCN last week and Mother Father in place of Keep On Running, even though KOR was great. But I loved loved loved Still They Ride and Deen was amazing on it.

I definitely would love to hear Mother Father again... I could lose KOR also. But I also wanted more songs like Edge of the Blade and Chain Reaction.

Yes the pee-pee song is just that! And I agree, I'd much rather hear WCN than those too, or even NWA too, even though it's newer, just not a fan of that one. Would rather hear something else off Rev other than NWA and WD, would much rather hear WITTW, LAS, WDILYL, TDTWT, or WIN over those. And agree about STR too, would much rather hear Deen sing Mother, Father, he's just beyond amazing on it.

Don't you know it. I would have killed - I mean Killed -- to see Edge of the Blade and Chain Reaction. But I knew that wasn't going to happen based on the shows b/f Orlando.

I still wish the Graspop show in full would be released after watching that show via the live-streaming, which had EOTB and CR on it. What a concert.

ACK! So many ACKronyms! I have so much to learn... LOL!

Hey, that clip of WCN above is a fantastic performance by AP. If the crowd couldn't appreciate that, not the fault of the band for sure.

Hey they're like a puzzle, have to figure them out

The crowd in Orlando was kind of like that too, lots of sitters, I don't know if it's all the retired people who live here who make everyone else so lazy and boring or what, LOL, but O crowds can be like that for a LOT of bands we've seen here, it's annoying. That's why traveling is more fun too, usually better crowds than here, LOL. The only song I saw everyone on their feet for was DSB of course. I love CR and EOTB and would have loved to hear those live again too. Guarantee the crowd here would have been on their butts for those too though, LOL.

It was sort of that way in Pensacola, too. Most everyone was sitting down during Night Ranger except two people in the very center, and it was bugging me but I didn't want people yelling at me to sit down so they could see. Luckily many stood up for some classic, and after that I told the people I was with that I wasn't sitting back down, and we didn't for the rest of the night. Most people near the front stood for Journey, but people would sit down during songs they didn't like or know, and some would look at each other with puzzled looks. I heard a few people ask each other stuff like, "What's this song? I wish they'd hurry up and play Faithfully." Of course, just like Orlando DSB got the biggest pop.

It just does to show you that a large percentage of concert-goers are casual fans who just want to hear a few songs they know. I don't believe in going to shows like that. I especially love to hear and support new music from the bands I enjoy, especially if it's great. That's why I really think the best seats need to be available to the hardcore fans who know what to do with them. A good roudy group up front tends to ignite more energy out of the rest of the crowd. I think that's exactly what I heard about Cleveland last year. I believe Saint John said mangement had noticed the front row rockers rocking out and appreciated that for that reason.

That's interesting.
I wouldn't have thought that since it's a fairly slow tempo ballad, not even alot of challenging highs until the "whoa-oh-whoa-oh" part at the end.
I wonder if Jeremey feels the same way.

The main floor of the arena in Orlando stood up pretty much the whole concert, except for the new songs and deeper cut songs like Keep on Running most sat, and maybe a ballad. But when I looked around, especially during, interestingly enough, Wildest Dreams, they seemed to be reacting positively to the songs. A lot of heads moving to Wildest Dreams, even if sitting.
For me, Change for the Better was the best new song of the night. I loved the whole ending part live. Fantastic.

Night Ranger everyone sat mostly the whole time. But everyone stood on Sister Christian and a couple others.

Journey should have toured Japan with Night Ranger, that would have been huge. They would have been playing Budokan, instead of Gymnasiums like they did this year, guaranteed.

Yep, that can be the annoying part, when the sitters look at the standers like "sit down", lol. And Orlando was mostly like that, I only saw the entire main floor stand for DSB only, as well as the rest of the arena (except for the top, that whole area was shut down and lights off, they didn't sell the seats up there). The more forward section of the main floor did stand most of the time, but not the whole floor. And I agree, the hardcore fans should get the best seats, our group does know what to do with them! LOL

That is an odd thing to say. It's pretty easy. There's really nothing challenging about that song.

A funny about this song too, I took the "Which Journey song are you?" quiz on FB (yes, I know, it's silly), and this is what I got, lol.

The smooth jazz version.
