Journey to play entire Escape album on next tour

[froy]

Horrible idea. Nobody wants to fucking hear Dead Or Alive or Lay It Down. Why waste 2 song slots with that garbage?

Dead is great Lay is shit

Nobody is going to go out and sing the Escape record start to finish AND do a 40 minute "greatest hits" set afterwards and last more than 5 dates. Except maybe Steve Perry in 1981.

Genius comment. Pineda can't go that high in the first place. He would sound like he had a log jammed in his piehole, trying to hit the highs of certain Escape songs would be futile. He would sound dreadful. Besides that, dude would have to learn all the words, and enunciate them as well. Good luck with that.

I wouldn't say it's impossible...since you have Deen singing three songs (Still They Ride, Keep on Running, Mother Father) and two of the highest ones already (KOR and MF). The majority of the album is already in the setlist, so all Arnel would have to do extra is Dead or Alive (easy-ish comparatively speaking), Who's Crying Now and Lay It Down--and ducking some of the notes on that one wouldn't be unexpected even with Perry in '81.

I said no one, as in no one person....LOL. Give me a couple singers and I could do Escape and Frontiers back to back.

Yeah I reckon you are being humble.

But seriously you could do it! just sing it like that Clem Snide guy would, with zero effort and no enegry, you could sing their entire catalog!.

No way I could sing "Lay It Down" or probably even "Keep On Runnin'" night after night anymore, LOL. I like to pare our setlist down to the songs I can make sound good these days, LOL.

Why would you want to sing those? Absolutely terrible, wretched songs.

BS! I do......one of the reasons why I like that Tokyo 81 show, they played both. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuy2oSvTZTg

Doesn't Journey already play this whole album on every tour? What am I missing...

Or Eddie Money. He speaks the lyrics instead of singing them (the ones he can remember) and has a bevy of female backup singers to more or less carry the melody.

Wow, that's too bad, I love Eddie's voice.

I don't think so man, I think what the OP implied was they'd do the whole record from start to finish in song order. I don't believe they play all the songs in one show, though they've played MOST of the songs at various times over the past 5 years, with "Lay It Down" being the exception.

I last saw Eddie live about 2.5, 3 years ago and really enjoyed it. Has he gone downhill?

I know... It was a poor attempt at sarcasm on my part.

Last two times I have seen him, it's been awful ... embarassingly so ... from my perspective, anyway.
