Who is their sound guy? Is it some family member they are unwilling to fire? Third UK tour in a row where the other bands sound fine but Journey has issues.
"WAKE UP!, have I got you attention? Here a wake up call. Was at the belfast gig tonight, Thunder sounded good for an opening band, really good. whitesnake were really good and worked the sound and crowd well. Then Journey came on and it was like listening to someone singing karaoke. I love the band with a passion but could not believe how quiet the PA was, and to make matters worse the set could not have been any safer. Here is the facts.
1. Your sound man must have had an off night or does not know his stuff( as a musician of sorts there is nothing more frustrating that playing your heart out then finding out the sound front of house was poor)
2. Journey actually did sound like they were miming the first 5 or 6 song of the set because they sounded perfect but far to quiet.
3 if this problem is not addressed they will be blown off the UK tour through no fault of there own.
I need the band to be aware of these issues so if anyone can get through to the band to rectify these issues please pass on."
"Great gig, first 5 songs were very subdued though, came alive after 007 piece, guitar sound seemed hidden."
"was at belfast gig last nite guys and i am a journey fan and it was awful!! whitesnake blew you guys of the stage."
"was at Belfast last night. have to say you sounded awful couldn't understand a word very muffled! never seen so many people leave an arena so quickly. sorry but i agree Whitesnake were fantastic they really did blow you guys off the stage !!!!"
"Really hope you guys fix this gor tomorrow night in Glasgow! Am not at all surprised that Coverdale did his thing superbly as usual, the legends a total showman with outstanding vocals. Mind you, no-one but no-one should be sounding 'karaoke'ish at this level! Love Thunder live n glad they're spot on."
"Really hope they get the sound sorted, it was really bad!! At least 1/3 of the crowd left I'm a big Journey fan and have seen them many times but not sure I will again. They looked like they were playing their hearts out but I really can't understand why Thunder and White Snake sounded amazing and then on come Journey and I could hear people talking around us louder that the band. Very disapointing

"I agree with a lot of the comments above..I love journey but seriously the first time I have ever heard crowd conversation during a gig and I was standing 3 rows in from the stage!! Hugely disappointed overall with Journeys gig...Thunder and whitesnake rocked"
Already two complaints from from the Glascow gig so it looks like another year of Journey not getting it right while the other bands do.
"Just in from the Glasgow gig & can repeat the previous comments from the Belfast gig..Thunder & Whitesnake were awesome but the sound for Journey was pathetic (at best.!!) They really need to get this sorted out ASAP, this was the 1st ever gig in my life that I've left early"
"hate to say it..Big Journey Fan..but I have to agree. Sound was dreadful!"
