by **JRNYFan** » Thu May 14, 2009 7:01 am

Thanks for the update. The schedule is just about packed in. Hopefully, they'll go into October.

by **jrny84** » Thu May 14, 2009 7:05 am

Pittsburgh loves Journey...we sell out concerts here fast (Journey still owns the record for fastest sellouts [2 shows] in Mellon [Civic] Arena HISTORY! 35 minutes for BOTH shows...1986 RoR tour)

That was in 86,Journey W/Augeri passed on Pittsburgh one year cause lack of interest .They did okay at the main event tour with Styks and REO, I doubt they will want to play there alone

They could jam the Florida shows in there.

Yeah they could, its probably gonna be somewhere down south. I remember neil saying that florida was one place where they were never as big as most of the other states.

Yeah, maybe some dates in Alabama would more of a reality.

Why would anybody want to go to Alabama?

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

:lol:

Well if Florida is not a big seller for them, Alabama is one of the only Southern states left that they haven't scheduled anything in. I know they did shows there with Perry back in the days before Escape.

by **jrny84** » Thu May 14, 2009 7:46 am

Heck if they are going to idaho, they can go to alabama! I wouldnt be surprised if they add a south carolina or texas date too.

Man it looks like there are quite a few dates without heart in nice size venues...hmm i wonder if there actually gonna play alone or if they dont, i cant think of anyone for the opening/co-headliner act. REO and Styx are out of the question, no cheap trick, no def leppard, and no bryan adams.

I think Steve's right... hell, even a wonderfully promoted Frontiers show in Pittsburgh in December probably drew about 50-60 people, whereas Frontiers sells out Cleveland's House of Blues every time. Make of that what you will I guess, and I realize that's Frontiers, not Journey, but I don't think Pitt is that interested in Journey music any more.

by **Don** » Thu May 14, 2009 8:33 am

Pittsburgh sounds like a Bon Jovi kind of town.

I think Matt confused the term "wonderfully promoted" with "woefully underpromoted." We'll give Pittsburgh another shot in July at the Hard Rock Cafe.

Really? I got e-mail and all kinds of shit from TMaster Pittsburgh and what not, but I guess I'm already lookin for that kinda shit more than an average concertgoer... Did the newspapers have it in there? I'm not from there, but I mean, in the past few years, I've seen bands like Toto and Survivor come through Northeast Ohio with nary a mention even on Ticketmaster or a local newspaper. The Altar Bar show at least had some kinda publicity behind it. How much are concerts really promoted these days anyway on the whole?

A local promoter did that show, but there was no newspaper, radio, or anything that would normally be done. Many people did not know the Altar Bar existed, as it used to be The Sanctuary and was known as a hip hop dance club. I have also heard, and maybe WastedBeerz could back me up on this, that the warehouse/strip district in Pitt has been on the decline, and the lack of parking made it a tad seedy and dangerous for most folks to be out and about after dark.

We'll see how we do at Hard Rock!

I'm sure you guys will do a lot better. I just talked to one of the guys I was at the Pitt show with and he told me that the Hard Rock area is great. And yeah, I do think the combination of lack of parking, the cold weather, and the "atmosphere" of the spot in general probably dissuaded some.

Of course I somehow found myself wandering the streets of the strip district at 6 am, the taste of Petron and a cold Primanti's fish sandwich in my mouth and a dead cell phone battery. But that's a story for another day...

I had a hangover to remember the day after that show for sure, but man that was a great time. As a selfish fan, I actually enjoyed the Pitt show more than the Cleveland show just because it was so private and laid back. No wait for a beer, not missing a second of the show to buy said beer, standing right in front of the stage without a bunch of people constantly pushing around... hammered drunk... that was a great time! But I know it sucks to play to a small crowd, so hopefully that's the only time I catch you guys like that.

ROFLMAO! Sorry Jeremey but that is really funny...mostly because I have done the same thing...at the same place...a time or several...

by **Red13JoePa** » Sun May 17, 2009 12:41 am

I thought Pitt was a big Journey town too.
Guess they're not playing every area every tour like Philly (Camden) got 08 but so far the Delaware Valley's left off the itenerary.

Borgata in AC Labor Day weekend for 2 though....
