Much appreciated bro!! Gonna check out Journey's set when I get enough spare time to enjoy it!

Arnel's definitely live. And he's sounding a bit rough.

What's up with Cain's hair by the way?

Lights sounded horrible. I stopped there.

Toto sounds fantastic.

They're lipping.















Just kidding.

Check out this acoustic cover of "Africa" by Mike Masse. They guys in Toto know about it and said its better than they can do it.

LOL, Cain's sweater.

Who the heck dresses these guys? Hard for me to believe they have a staff that handles those things.

Just last night I was watching one of those reaction videos of someone watching a Journey performance from the Houston show in 81. The people who were watching it were making fun of the shirt that Perry was wearing at that show.

I'm still impressed with his performance. Sure, there's ups and downs, but he has a big range, doing cool ad libs here and there, and is in command of his voice.

All I see is a matted down haircut, really. Maybe a little darker than usual. The real follicle difference on the stage is Todd. He's no longer bald. Either plugs or a piece. Looks good.

Are you talking about the Leopard print one? In one of the older Escape videos, Kelty says something about having to change into this special shirt for the next song (Open Arms, I think). And, those shirts are hard to find nowadays....but, nothing that a yellow t-shirt and a sharpy can't fix...and he spent a lot of time making all those dots. I thought it was pretty funny...and I'm guessing it is probably true!

Yes, that one.

I wouldn't say that, since he's straining to hit a lot of the notes, with his voice sounding ragged too. Lights was not pretty. He fares better on numbers like DSB and Send Her My Love.

I mentioned "ups and downs" - but really I can't criticize. After all these years, Arnel is still bringing it. If you can find bootlegs towards the later end of Perry and Augeri's Journey run that sound better, please post them.

Exactly. And Arnel has been with Journey for 16 years now and is older than Perry or Augeri we're at the end of their runs.

I was gonna respond that he sounds amazing on "Send her my Love". Almost thinking they could just let Deen-O or Derlatka take over Lights. They have a monstrous schedule this year so Arnel could use the break.

I saw them last Thursday and they sounded good. The setlist and energy (maybe that energy was me excited to be seeing shows after COVID) were not as good as the 2022 shows I saw, but it was still very good and the crowd's response was strong. No complaints.
