@3:13- 3:14 is that Deen or canned backup?

[carleysdad]

Holy crap....what is Arnel wearing? Is he trying to channel Michael Jackson or something with that outfit?

[tater1977]

I've come to finally realize..AP ...is Deen & Ross' love child...
that would explain the clothes & hair....

[jrny84]

The red leather jacket looks like something Freddie Mercury would have worn in the late 80s.

ROSS!!!
JON!!!
WAKE UP! Yer playing a show!

Nice to see the interaction between Pineda and Neal.

It has been noted.

"...in a thoroughly professional manner that
occasionally bordered on the dispassionate. Pineda’s presence ensured a
vibrant centerpiece to an uber-slick show but his band-mates
consistently failed to follow the Filipino frontman’s exuberant lead.
Nobody expected Schon and co. to match the band’s youthful singer stride
for stride but an all-too static delivery from the band’s elder
statesmen screamed indifference.
Jonathan Cain was the prime offender.
That Pineda carried Journey is symptomatic of a tired act in desperate need of a fresh approach to the arena format.

More confident than ever, the former karaoke singer engaged his
audience, reached the high notes and utterly overshadowed his plodding
colleagues. Pineda is still hungry: too many of Journey’s flag-bearers
look like they’ve already had their fill.

Of course there’s still no finer sight or sound than the polished US titans belting out Ask The Lonely, Only The Young, Faithfully and the ubiquitous Don’t Stop Believin’. Nobody does AOR better. But no amount of panache can compensate for a lack of passion."

other than the Karaoke comment (where Arnel didn't come from), the guy's pretty accurate. Kind of funny, Pineda worked YEARS in clubs night after night and learned his craft. I guess it'd be lame to give him credit for that though... not sure why... but okay...?
Arnel looks pretty happy onstage as does Schon. They're leaving Arnel to kind of be the personality I guess. Cain looks very uninterested, maybe he's doing his taxes in between songs. Too bad. Ross is usually more "happy to be there" too, but on these clips, not so much. Oh well. At least the singer's not getting the blame. In fact, all reports seem to be that he's doing a great job.... wasn't he supposed to be voiceless and out of the band by now?

Okay, I think for all the shows, Deen should give Arnel a piggyback ride off stage.

[Don]

It appears they played "One More" at this gig. No Eclipse songs though.

[brywool]

the sound on the clips seemed fine to me...

[slucero]

Cain looks very uninterested, maybe he's doing his taxes in between songs. .

LMAO.....

[annie89509]

Neal is a rock dog....Jon and Ross are in their '60s... been on the road doing live shows some 40 yrs...quite understandable that it's a grind for these 2. Good for Arnel to take up the slack.

[JRNYMAN]

WTF is Neal wearing?! The pants look like they're leather from mid-thigh down and above that they look like some sort of stretchy denim thing... And as for the shirt, I'm pretty sure I've never seen a button-up hoodie. As for Arnel... he looks like he's got the whole Crowded House meets Michael Jackson thing goin' on!

That's what I was wondering. And whatever that jacket was looked cheap, like it was made out of plastic. The hair is horrible as well.
