Photos from Wembley Arena - 4th June

Here are my pics from the first of my three Journey shows on this UK tour.

Despite the reported sound problems (which I didn't experience - the sound was GREAT where I was) the actual show was excellent, and everybody (except Deen of course) made full use of the enormous stage.

I shared the pit for the whole show with the legendary photographer Ross Halfin and, although he misreported our conversation on his blog afterwards, it was an interesting experience.

A+++, Marty. You are always on top of your game.

Ross Halfin, a legend in his own mind. If you don't know what a great photographer Halfin is, give him five minutes of your time and he'll be sure to tell you.

Superb pictures

What did he misreport?

Excellent pics - you always do such a great job.

Thanks.

What did he misreport?

It was a minor thing but it irritated me at the time. Basically I introduced myself to him after the show and we were chatting in a friendly manner and he asked me how long I’d been photographing Journey. I said something along the lines of ‘since they came back to the UK in 2006’. He piped up with ‘I’ve been shooting them since 1977’.

The following day he reported on his blog that he’d met me and that I’d said I’d been shooting Journey since the very beginning – in 2006! But he made it sound like I was completely ignorant of Journey’s history (hardly likely as my wife helps run the UK Journey fan club) and that I was therefore some kind of imbecile.

Ordinarily I’d have ignored it, and people in the business have since told me that I got off lightly compared to the scathing sarcasm he reserves for most people he meets, but at the time I took it as an insult.

Want us to take care of this, Marty?

So it appears possible that the sound issues are a venue problem That is usually the case when the sound is shit in one area of the bldg and great in another.

[Memorex]

Great photos! They all look so old. Except Ross who looks the same as 1983.

They have aged haven't they...Ross especially. Neal looks like he has taken up with a bad plastic surgeon...

Friga has aged better than all of them - guess clean family living does something for the body!

Arnel, well...new moniker for him is Tattoo Boy. All I have to say is Where is Mr. Rourke and Where's da Plane??? Guess all he could muster from his Fantasy Island fantasy is a poor imitation of SP's voice!

Back to lurkdom...

[parfait]

Jesus fucking christ people. It's a couple of tattoos and some leather pants. Perry and his native american look and mantoe is no more. Get your chocolate chip covered loon fingers off the keyboard for a while and move the fuck on already.

Cool pictures!

Wouldn't it be shit for all three bands then (which doesn't appear to be the case after reading most of the reviews)?

[brywool]

Great photos Marty. Really great as always. Wow.

@Froy- "Kid"? Dude, he's like 44 or something, and he's doing a helluva job.
Ross always looks like he just smoked the biggest bongload. Funny.


Drummers- Deen's got shields up in front of his cymbals. I would think those are to keep the cymbals out of the vocal mic mix. Are those small shields really enough to do that? Seems inadequate if that's the goal. If it's not, what else would they be for?

[brywool]

mantoe

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Teleprompters...for when he has to cover for AP.

Who is the tatted up chick that is now singing for Journey?

Which one of those guys is her dad??

This isn't funny unless
it's about Perry ...




Marty, as usual, your photos are stunning ...the fact that you
can see the detail in the tats is incredible!!

Woah. How can anyone possibly be this butt ridingly unfunny and unoriginal at the same time.

[bluejeangirl76]

What's with that chain on Neal's pants? Is it 1994?

I mean, I know there's a time difference between here and London, but 17 years? Imagine the jetlag.

But great shots, as always, Marty. I always dig seeing your stuff.

He wants to look like JSS. All part of the new image.

Right ...nowhere near as original as your native american, mantoe comment!!
As I said, unless it's about Perry, you're an ass!!



Marty ...you are a Photo~god!!

[Don]

Man, everyone is off the chain today. Believe me, this is full office sharing material right here.

Exactly. What's up with Niel rolling in looking like he just left a biker bar???

Is that acceptable for the lead guitarist in Journey? Wonder if Saint John has any thought about this?

I didn't see that one coming - stabbing me with a comment like that. So, that's your thing; hurting people? Making them feel like shit, when all they want to do is to be noticed on a message board? But nooo, you got to crush that too - you can't have other people in the spotlight. It's all about miss Easy-Bake - no one ever notices parfait, and if they do, you come on in with a ugly and hurtful comment like this one. Words hurt you know. Not everyone is as confident as MR's own Octopussy - think about that next time you break someone's heart!

I hate you, you evil bearded clam. I HATE YOU!
