All in all, it seemed to be a harder rocking Journey than what I've been used to in the past. That's not necessarily good or bad, just different. All the guys seemed to be enjoying themselves. I even saw Jonathan smile quite a bit and I remember reading quite a few recent reviews saying that he just looked like he was going through the motions. I wish I could've gotten some better pics of Deen, but there was a lot of glare of the glass to either side of his drums and, unfortunately, I was far enough to stage right (only 9 rows back from the stage) that I couldn't get a good shot of him.
Here's the set list (not necessarily in order, but I think I got all the songs here...)
- Star Spangled Banner
- Stone in Love
- Ask the Lonely
- Any Way You Want It
- Keep on Runnin'
- Lights
- Who's Crying Now (Deen on lead vox)
- Only the Young
- Dead or Alive
- Chain Reaction
- Escape
- Open Arms (Deen on lead vox)
- Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' (I don't typically care as much for this one but the new, bluesy intro is pretty cool)
- Faithfully (Deen on lead vox)
- Wheel in the Sky
- Don't Stop Believin'
- Encore = Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)
After the first song, Jonathan made the announcement about JSS filling in for the summer. Later on, JSS said thanks for one of his greatest summers ever.
Here's a link to the page with all the photos (86 in all)...The first one is of my daughter and I at the meet-n-greet.

I'll post a few of the better pics here if I can figure out why it's not showing the pics...
