Recently, many bands (Styx, Motley Crue, Ratt, Megadeth, Dio, Kiss) play their most successful albuns entirely. Escape is on his 30th anniversary. Would be great if they play the whole album on this tour. What do you think?


Don't Stop Believin'
Stone in Love
Who's Crying Now
Keep on Runnin' (Deen)
Still They Ride (Deen)
Escape
Lay it Down (Deen or Arnel)
Dead or Alive
Mother, Father (Deen)
Open Arms

To be fair, they've been playing this album for the past 30 years! Much happier them just play the new album all the way through (if it's any good of course - which it will be!!).

Do an Escape tour at another time if needs be, they can still celebrate it as 30 years because nobody is arsed

What he said.
The last ten years of touring have been pretty much one long ode to ESCAPE and FRONTIERS. They did try to break out of the box a few years back but that merely resulted in pissing off fans that just wanted to hear the hits, and with two other bands this year, they aren't going to be playing any three hour sets.

You can't close with a fuckin' ballad, man.

When you're well known as 'Ballad Bombers' like Journey is, you can.

Journey has closed with Faithfully before

Lay it down and Dead or Live suck balls anyway.

never cared much for Lay it Down, but DOA is a cool guitar jam track.

I'm the opposite. LID seems like Journey's version of a heavy metal tune to me, while DOA sounds like something that Steve Smith would come up with.

Lay It Down's "A little vertical persuasion would do me right" lyrical section deserves an award.


Incredible album, great tune, yea I'd love to see tour nights with ESC4P3, Frontiers, ROR, Arrival, Generations or Revelation disc 1 done in their entireties. Tons of work in rehearsals and that's a fantasy as it is (according The Stones who citited the ultimate frontman, Mick Jagger's lack of confidence in his ability, granted 10 more songs than Escape, in doing Exile On Main St through in concerts).

Fuck that. I wanna hear Eclipse in its entirety and I bet Neal does too. Hey, Don, whose band is it??? Please remind 13. Thanks.

Most likely its gonna be the Dirty Dozen and a few new tunes... just like it has always been...

As long as they play at least 3 new tunes at every show and eventually mix virtually all of them into the tour, I'll be a happy guy.

I doubt that would be the full concert. The other bands mentioned that have been doing this come back out and do some sort of encore set. I'm really not interested in Journey doing a concert like that without Steve Perry. I am all for recording new music with Pineda and touring to support it, but that's it.

For those who might need some clarification;


This is Neal's band. Neal's BAND!

You crack me up with that, man. Good stuff.

Its SO much Neal's band that if Journey were a regular corporation - Neal would have been fired 9 years ago(the origins of Lipgate). Neal's that CEO that doesn't care about anything anymore. Just satisfied putting out substandard music, and raking in the dough. Sure, he has just enough ego to want shit done his way,but at the end of the day - as long as he's hearing the cha-ching....that's all that matters.

As long as Azoff approves.

This new album was a project in the making for almost 3 years and it will showcase the immense talent's of Mr. Schon, and also show the group's overall talents, chemistry and creativity. It's gonna blow your tits off. And I can't wait for you to have to admit that you like it. Ehwmatt, too.
