After seeing the tour in West Palm this year it got me thinking about the difference between the bands concert from Arrival to the Elcipse tour.. The Arival tour was a 3 act set with John Waite and Frampton.. Show started at 7 same as this year and Journey went on @ 9.. Frampton played an hour,, Ihave the Arrival WPM show on CD so I need to pull the setlist but what I do remember is they played alot of Songs they did 4 from Arrival...Higher Place, Signs of Life, I got A Reason and one other, they also did Feeling that Way/Anytime and Remember Me and opened with Message of Love.. plus the dirty dozen.. It was about 20 songs..Im going to listen to the CD tomorrow and get the set list. What they also did on that tour was play almost every song off of the CD on the entire tour. They kept the concert moving and fans were into it a bit more IMO...
I do know that their were issues with the Promotion of Arrival and it wasnt marketed that way and it was Journeys first CD in awhile. It would seem with the positive direction the band was heading this year after Revelation they could have capitlized a bit more. With a bigger set list the new songs wouldnt have seemed forced. If you are playing 20 songs and do 3 or 4 new songs, the dirty dozen plus a few deeper cuts then Everyone is happy. So this thing about not enough time is kindda thrown out the window.. The show I saw Night Ranger started @ 6:55. Forgeiner came on @ 7:50 and Journey aboout 9:15. They could hustle things up to get Journey on the stage by 9.. The stage was ready about 8:55 and Journey waited about 20 minutes then NEal came on and did a 3 minute intro to Seperate Ways....Let Majestic roll and jam right intio SW after it ends.
I will post set list some time tomorrow
