WHY?

[steveo777]

Oprah actually gave Revelation its plug. But she reversed the colors of the Album cover and gave it some weird, acid trip to it.

I'm sure Oprah sat there and recolored the cover.....yeppers!

It was the lighting, you boop.

Revelation's run is over, it's well over a year old and two tours deep now. Like A Sunshower wouldn't sell shit. That said, they still shoulda had the balls to play something from there.

... Still- "Hysteria" came out, didn't do anything. A year later, it sold buttloads. They really SHOULD have played a new song. Luckily "The Cow" did promote the new album, so who knows?

That is rotten apples to ripe fresh Florida oranges bry... that was the 80s! Bands had real outlets like radio and MTV to break through... not on some TV show that only a bunch of bloated housewives loaded up on bon-bons and diet coke have the time or the stomach to watch... They should have played a new song because that's what bands should do when they have new(er) material to play, but playing a song from it on there would not spark a second wave of Revelation sales. It sold remarkably well as is. The lion's share of the target audience has already bought it for the most part

Maybe, but SOMEBODY is making all these country people stars! I'm thinking it's soccer moms!

I think it's more the teenie boppers... you're talking people liek Taylor Swift and what not?

But Kenney Chesney??? explain that one!!

They think his tractor's sexy.

He must have a big tractor.

Lighting? Or..
Maybe someone was on an acid trip wile watching Oprah?
(Heady cocktail right there...)

[The Sushi Hunter]

I noticed while I was watching the clips on youtube that the color was different as well. But I just thought that what they were showing was the new package that the Manila DVD comes in.

[Andrew]

What was the exact air date? I'll try and find a torrent of the whole show.

5 October

[wednesday's child]

Me too. Was it October 2nd or 5th?
and... it seems the yellow-toned box-cover WAS the "Live in Manila" wrap,
so playing two classics on Oprah indeed WAS in promotion of product:



wech

No, it wasn't lighting, you boob...

Copy & paste the album cover to PaintBrush, go up
to "IMAGE" and click "Invert Colors" and
SHAZAAAAAAM!!!
You will see exactly what was broadcasted.

Not saying it was Opie's fault; probably some schmuck intern.

Actually, it looks pretty damn cool that way too

On the Oprah show they should of played Like A Sunshower.

yeah you know, stay awhile part II. i think that song (sun shower) is weak, but of course that is just my opinion.

Me too, but I actually think it's Lights Part II. It sucks big time. Worst song on Rev by far.

One of my favorites on Revelation. Love love Love Like a Sunshower, but I think it's too slow to be in concert.

The Oprah Revelation album cover looks as if they used tape (scotch) over it.
History repeats itself?

They had to play DSB, but they should have showcased Arnel (since the show was about him) and played After All These Years. That song would have hit Oprah's overweight soccer mom demographic right in their saggy asses.

Turn Down The World Tonight would've have really had them tearing up
Slowly becoming one of my fave J-tunes... of all time.

Turn Down The World Tonight is also one of my favorite songs by Journey. Ranks very high for me. Beautiful song and vocals. The melody is so hauntingly beautiful. But they've only performed it one time together, so would be iffy on TV to such a huge audience. I wish they would put that in concert.

But I agree with SJ. They should have played After All These Years. They've played it a lot together and it got radio play. Also a great song for those married for a long time, which make up the majority of Oprah's audience.

Heard AATY in a supermarket two days ago. Surprised the hell out a me.

If only Journey would of tried to promote the new cd. Arnel is a great vocolist in his own right. On the Oprah show they should of played Like A Sunshower.

Dude...I think you're missing the entire point of that Oprah show. For starters, the show had absolutely NOTHING to do with Journey, other than their song "Don't Stop Believin'" was the backdrop for "inspirational" stories. If Arnel hadn't been plucked out of poverty, Journey wouldn't have been on that show! The other thing you're forgetting is that Journey isn't about new music. I personally like most of the tracks on "Revelation" but it doesn't change the fact that 99% of the people familiar with the name "Journey" could give two shits about any new material, and that will NEVER change. It's never going to be 1983 again, but people can have fun pretending! One other comment about the song you suggested...I actually like the song but it's one of the gayest titles, EVER! That fruit Cain must have cooked that one up

Heh heh ... didn't they say Neal came up with that song?? ... the music AND the title.

They did...On the Manila DVD!

Sorry but I like..... Like a sunshower.

that song sucks,sound s like a gay version of lights

[Vocalsmanvocals]

I did not want to start a argument here....I was just thinking they need to promote their latest cd....not playing older stuff from the Perry era.

You must be a fan who came back to Journey after so many years off?

Journey has promoted themselves (Ellen, GQ, CBS, and the latest was Oprah) over the last 2 years...

Journey has played more songs from Revelation than last year at all their concerts on this tour.

"hey, this was a wal-mart exclusive... they've since stopped stocking it on the shelves 6 months ago, we just finished our second tour in support of it and will never play a lick of it live again, but hey, if you like this song, you're welcome to try and luck into a copy at your local Wal-Mart!"

They still stock it here -- I can always find at least 1 or 2 copies in any Wal-Mart I go to.

They had a few where I was in Wal-Mart also yesterday. And a while back someone said it wasn't availalable online with Wal-Mart anymore, but it is now. So you can still get it online also.
