Great photos!
Taking a look at that setlist though, not one original song from Revelation, wow. At least swap out BGTY with NWA. :lol:

You seemed to catch a few of the guys "having a moment"; awesome! :lol:

At least they played Who's Crying Now as a bonus !! Maybe this is the 2nd most famous song in Brazil...

Yeah, people saying Journey wasn't an international band before seem to forget that people all over the globe have known these songs by heart for the last few decades. Good call by someone in Journey's management being aware of WCN's status as an iconic hit down there.
It's actually their second highest charting single here in the states as well, coming in at #3 when it was released. Probably has seen more airplay on adult contemporary radio over the last 30 years than Faithfully and Open Arms combined.

nice pics... considering going Thursday here in Guatemala City, but still not sure yet. Tickets prices here are pretty steep.

Seems like they have been doing their homework. I wonder if Girl Can't Help It is going to appear in some of their shows closer to the border?

It seems you were right in the thick of it by how close your photos appear. Glad you got to realize your dream, Silvio. :D

I wonder if Who's Crying Now will get a bump on the Brazilian charts? That would be too cool, especially with this year being the 30th anniversary of the Escape Album.

There are hundreds of them. Right now I can see that Alchemist by Iron Maiden is #1 on some of the rock charts because of the band currently touring in Brazil.

Using Maiden as an example for classic rock acts, here is what Journey can shoot for with the world wide release of Eclipse.

The Final Frontier - Iron Maiden Debut chart positions
AUGUST 26 2010

No. 1 - Arabia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Finland, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, U.K.
No. 2 - Australia, Belgium, Holland
No. 3 - Ireland, Poland, Turkey
No. 4 - USA
No. 5 - Singapore

Who's Crying Now is one of their best songs, imo. Love it. Nice ending to the show. I agree with Don to get rid of BGTY. Change it with something. I don't know what. Anything.
That show really takes off in the beginning. Love like the first five songs the way they have it set up.

Here is one of the best vids of WCN I have heard on YT, in this incarnation of the band. You know...Arnel has it together this year. I think concert goers are in for a real treat.
