Should be good. They got the practice run done in Oshkosh a few days ago and they ought to be rested and fresh.

What is the tuning (original or half-step-down)?"

Tantra!!! Crowd is hot and lethargic, as it's 97 but they're loud. Sound is perfect ... for once.

Escape. This song has always sucked. Even when he who has never been married sang it.

What? No LTS?

Any estimate on crowd size? General demeanor of the crowd given the oppressive heat and humidity?

Stepping down a half note. Going, let's say, from E to E flat.

That song will rotate in and out. They can't play too few of the classics or the beer bottles will fly! Classics
are being born, they just haven't reached maturity yet. :wink:

I don't think the band knows what to play from that album right now. Look for AIP to hit the setlist soon, anything that sounds like classic Journey just to get some kind of interest in the new record to try and get it to 100,000 copies sold. It's at about 60k right now, throw in the overseas numbers and it's close to 85k.

Resonate is catchy and has hooks. Take out City of Hope as far as I'm concerned. I would like to see Anything is Possible or Edge of the Moment also.

Resonate, while a great tune is dark and moody. Europe was the place to showcase that song, not here in the states where Journey is considered to be more synonymous with the poppy musical landscape that Glee has created.

Good luck with that. Revelation is currently outselling Eclipse at Wal-Mart this week. Escape is currently outselling both of them combined.

Love Resonate. Hmmm. I never thought of it as dark or moody. Maybe a little more intense than we're used to hearing from Journey. Kinda sensual, kinda sexy. :wink: Dark? :? Hmm...

I think it is a very sexy song, too, and a song you can enjoy right off without owning the album.
