Agreed.

Well, I wouldn't know that since you didn't 'splain youself, and I am click-adverse ...

carry on ...

(This song was of the goose-bump variety live, btw)

2nd album in the works, and Erik said some encouraging things about playing some more gigs, so MAYBE ...

That's very cool.

Of course someone will lose the fact that this is something you won't often get to hear live often if at all and complain that they want everything pitch perfect. That's not what rock and roll is all about.

And I think Steve did a great job on this one.

Backing vocals sound terrible and the guitarist punted on playing the awesome outro solo in its entirety. JSS sounded good, but the song didn't work live. I'm not surprised. Songs with this structure never seem to come off as well live. A Journey analogy would be Higher Place.

Matt, Boston are considered legendary AOR/classic rock band and didn't get their backing vocals right until the "Walk On" tour when they had Fran Cosmo to help replicate the double tracked vocals on the albums. From 1976 until the 1990's they sucked live.

W.E.T. at least has backing vocals here. Boston never really did early on.

What annoys me is the way the drums sound. With you on the guitarist not playing the outro.

Overall, pretty decent replication of a tough song for their first show, and Soto sounds great.

One of my all-time fave Journey tracks, and Steve sounds pretty darn good to me on this.

Remember that youtube video audio tends to vary wildly depending on where the person doing the recording was standing and what camera they were using. Count me in as those who prefer the pure live renditions of songs. I tend to have a strong dislike for backing vocals that are pre-recorded. The WET show was never going to be the polished act that is in steamroller form by mid-tour.

Looks like the festival went pretty well, except for Terry Brock getting sick and losing his voice for the Strangeways set

Too bad the vast majority of the bands will never perform live in the US.

Oh I'm well aware of Boston's terribleness live. My dad hardly ever says a concert was flat-out "bad" and he consistently has maintained for the last 30 years that Boston was the hands-down worst show he ever saw. And he likes the band's output a LOT.

I don't think the song's not working is due to any particular fault of the band. Yeah, they obviously don't have 5 SPs or 5 JSSs up there layering backing vocals. But it's really not that. I just think it's a very tough song that structurally, even if performed IMPECCABLY, would tend not to work quite as well live.

When that killer drum intro began, Deb and I started screaming like crazy women ... NEVER thought I'd get to hear it live ...

Lucky you. I was stunned when I saw the song title. Deen on drums would have been the icing on the cake. Any other Arrival songs played?

Moocho grassy ass to you both! Love that one! That, and If I Fall and My Everything are my top faves from the album!

And bravo to Jebber, whoever he is, for getting a good chunk of the songs up on youtube!

Higher Place and Kiss Me Softly, I believe. Maybe All the Way also.

yea....fast food chicken in the US. The majority of their advertisements in the past few years have been done through the use of cows suggesting you eat chicken instead of them. Didn't know they hadn't made it up to where you are. They are all over the place out here.

The drums on WET sound like a drumset bought from Toys R Us.

Other than that great performance.
