AMAZING work Andrew...

PS. Don't forget to download the live video footage included in the show reviews

Videos look great. Were they filmed by Journey and then management approved them for release? If so, is this a sign of changing times as far as Journey's stance on audio/video clips? Other bands have new footage on their sites all the time.

[Andrew]

Videos were filmed by someone - I'm not sure who exactly. A bud sent a DVD of the whole show to me - stating that it was his bud that filmed the show.

The rehersal/soundcheck footage was from my digital camera.

You never let us down. Excellent read and absolutely worth the wait. You've got a gift in making your subjects comfortable enough to be candid. It truly was a pleasure meeting you.

Gotcha. It looked like it was filmed at a higher level than the crowd was, so I wasn't sure if it was a "sneaky bootleg" sort of filming. Interesting.

EDIT: Love it how Ross aimed his squirting thing at you at the beginning of Message Of Love during the soundcheck.

[Les2]

THanks gals,
I'm excited to see it out there online

Can't wait to see the feedback.

Hey Andrew

We just read your review. You did a Great job!!! I see you made it home safe and sound. Maybe one day we will meet again at a Journey Concert.

[Andrew]

G'Day Les,

Thank you Sir! A pleasure meeting you and yes, one day I'm sure. Glad you enjoyed the feature.

[tammy]

Just finished reading the interviews and all -- great job, Andrew! Love reading diaries and I laughed at "beef (apparently)"...mystery meat, perhaps? lol! Hey, JSS is a Valley neighbor.
Deen's interview was great - I enjoyed his last interview with you (I think it was yours) as he is very open, childlike, yet has all these scary looking tatoos - lol. He & JSS's words about loving Steve Perry make me VERY HAPPY! I think the band is going to really get energized more.

[Abitaman]

Yes Deen's was the best-ERIC

[harko]

What a great read. Great job Andrew! I loved the videos. Well worth the wait!

Knew there was another reason I liked Deen........he's a sensitive soul (like Perry) but yet in your face when you screw with him. LOL at the end of his interview, when somebody thought he lyp-synched because he sounded so much like Perry.....he had them hunted down and brought back stage and sang to them by requests. Would love to have been a fly on the wall for that. I saw a DOA clip awhile back and just love how JSS and Deen play off each other.

Oh, and I get NO credit? For proof reading and correcting? I think now is the time to post the pic.

[Andrew]

Thanks for proof reading Deano. And TNC.

And BIG thank you to Oh Sherrie for transcribing the 4 interviews in quick fashion. Pity we had to wait to post them in the end! But there they are

[The_Noble_Cause]

Thanks for proof reading Deano. And TNC.

My pleasure.
This is the truly the finest thing you've done in all of MR.com's existence.

Now if only someone would turn the tables around and interview you....hehehehe.

I was already thinking that earlier this week, come to think of it.

You? You fucker.

[fredinator]

What a relief, right Andrew?? I bet Journey is relieved too! Thanks for being such a good friend to the band and to us on the forum!! (I saw where you mentioned Ed James' cd, too! (I loved "Miss Polly"...)) Thanks again for all your hard work!

[Melissa]

Sorry to be chiming in so late, got out of work early & stayed out too late lol

Read everything but the diary part so far, and WOW Andrew, it's all amazing! THANK YOU so much!!!!

[WalrusOct9]

It's nice to see something, anything official from the band, but...I don't think it answered anyone's questions about what really happened. They just kind of brushed off the whole "Augeri being sick" thing. I know they're trying to move on and hope people forget about the tape thing...and eventually they will. But I was really hoping one of them would at least address it and offer a half-hearted "we're sorry, but we didnt have any other options at the time" statement.

(nothing against you Andrew, it would've taken some massive balls to bring that up while you're in their good graces and getting backstage access and face-time and whatnot...I just would've liked to see one of them address it on their own free will, to put it behind them once and for all. I wish them all the best with Jeff, and look forward to what they do, but in the back of my mind, the whole issue of "why did the tapes happen in the first place and how did someone like Neal come to that decision" is still there)

A little disappointed they won't be touring next year (still waiting for my first live Journey experience), but am really looking forward to hearing what their new record sounds like.

Andrew, Aussie Bossy, Sir Wombat, Ass Slayer
Of Us Lot.........BRAVO, Bellissima!

I think my fave part of all this is seeing
the slightly orgasmic side of you with the
release of all this pent up anticipation!
Good to see you having a moment in the light.
May this be the start of the best Holidays ever
for you Sir, by the way......Thank You McNeice!

LOL. Dean - you got Q's, throw them at me.

Yeah, it was sort of like hurry up and wait,.... and wait,........ and wait,......... . Enjoyed doing it though, your accent is sexy.

[donnaplease]

Fabulous job Andrew with the interviews. I, like everyone else, was particularly captivated by the energy these guys are filled with. It's great to be a Journey fan, AND a MR fan...

Ya'll think if I asked Deen if he ever lip-synched he'd give me a personal performance?????
Not that I believe he would, I just would love him to sing to me!!
