Just watched "Live In Manilla"....

Dude, I'm with you on most of your comments. I see your point on Tommy looking too much like Delp. I seen them in July and that part was weird. What wasn't weird was how good they sounded. Tommy and David V. were awesome on vocals. I'm pretty critical of anyone I see and sat through my last Journey show in the front row with Arnel because they SUCKED a half step down. Boston was musically spot on. They sang in the original key and Tommy hit most of the high notes. He did it just enough to show he could do it but was also saving his voice. Call him a clone or not, the dude is fucking good. You should give them a shot if you haven't see them.

At this point, age 44 - I'm saying goodbye to all my childhood bands. I've seen most of them enough. I absorbed plenty of lineup changes, but when groups are up in their 60's it's making me lose interest with replacements. That's not the only reason though. Kiss are arguably my favorite band ever, and it's becoming heartbreaking hearing Paul Stanley attempt to sing. Boston has a reprehensible clone pretending to be Brad Delp and Yes are on their 2nd tribute band imposter.

Journey played music chairs with singers too many times and sure, I knew many of the players involved. Lost complete interest after all that, although I might see Arnel live away from Journey and those studio albums were fine.

I'll see Cheap Trick for the time being since they still sound as good as ever, and the current lineup of Foreigner is good, even if their setlists are very stale.

Also I refuse to continue paying outlandish ticket prices. Fleetwood MAC - love ya, but no thank ya!

I can't see me ever paying over $100 to see an artist ever again. I'm living off of my music and DVD collection and watching my favorite bands in their prime. Still willing to go and see some of them if it doesn't destroy my wallet though.

I agree. Boston came to the Empire Rockfest in Belleville, ON and I caught the show... good prices for 54-40 opening for Boston... my god. I thought it was much better than the Journey concert in Toronto. Hate to say that about my favourite band but it`s becoming stale. The tune downs, Arnel`s voice, etc. He needs a long break. I hope after 2013 they all take a good sabbatical. I hate to call for another lead singer, since I think Arnel is an all around fantastic package, but it`s getting there.
