why not end it all on high note and bring the fans back one of the main reasons we listened in the first place (imo)and have a huge going away tour!!!they'd tear it up and more then likely have a blast on the way ...ohsherrie wrote:I've said from the beginning that I never wanted Perry back with Journey, but this makes me do a little rethinking on that. Now I'm considering that may be the only thing that could save the legacy. If he would just do one televised show with them and do the hits in whatever key is comfortable for him now it might prove that Journey truly was once a great band.
wow they'd rather take a beating in the paper then deal with whats going on ....thats a big ego trip!!!KittyKat wrote:Keep in mind this is the same guy that did the interview with Jon Cain about the integrity and conviction article.

I let him know where he mixed up Joe Elliott and Phil Collen and he has fixed it. Here's the other review from last night from another reporter at the show and I have posted both on the Scranton thread as well with comments.

Pretty obvious they aren't getting glowing reviews when the shows are live.

They'll just say "well the critics have never been kind to Journey." Or something of the like.

perryfaithful wrote:Journey came out all pomp and no performance. Frontman Steve Augeri, who will forever be compared to the incomparable Steve Perry, spent most of his stage time front and center, mugging for the crowd in a Jesus Christ pose, like he was expecting to be showered with adoration for all of the music he had nothing to do with.
Augeri sported white jeans and a white sport coat, like he was running late for Colonel Sanders' wedding or something. What we quickly learned, is that much like Colonel Sanders doesn't actually cook the chicken at KFC, Steve Augeri doesn't really sing the songs for Journey.
From note one, Neal Schon's guitar sonically dwarfed everything on stage. Only if you stuck your fingers in your ears could you clearly hear Augeri, whose voice cracked and broke like Rob Zombie in a church choir. His singing offered little range, less sustain, and was barely comparable to most Monday night karaoke singers, much less Steve Perry.

He seemed to know more about Def Leppard than Journey. He also focused more on Journey's guitar work than the vocals. The ones he made a point to mention were the ones that the other guy said were turned over to the audience. We all know Neal can still shread a guitar, this controversy is about the vocals and he hardly mentioned that. I know a lot of people are Schon fans, and that's great, but the Journey legacy is more about the vocals.

[color=darkredWhat I thought also ohsherrie. I have to wonder if he was actually at the whole show. Not much attention to Journey][/color]

The fact that the second review calls Journey "perfect musically" doesn't even register with you.
These are two published articles with reviews of the same show. The actual point is that two people (even two reviewers) can go to the show and come away with differing opinions.

ohsherrie wrote:Yes it does, as saying the band did a good job. Still no mention of the vocals.
Yes, but the second review was still lukewarm about Journey overall and only focused on the instrumental part of it.

Yes, and you want to view things from the other direction.The fact that the second review calls Journey "perfect musically" doesn't even register with you.
Yes it does, as saying the band did a good job. Still no mention of the vocals.
