Ugly American Werewolf in London: Journey - The Last Frontier Live
Om avsnittet
On episode 170, The Wolf hoped that would be the last time he saw Journey live. The band weren't the same lineup and performance-wise as they once were and the tickets were too expensive. But the tix were a gift for him and the Wolf Cub as she is a HUGE Journey fan (and Toto opened for them that night). The Wolf saw it as a check the box, took the kid to see her band and now I never have to do that again. The one regret he had was not informing her before the show that Steve Perry is no longer the lead singer (He's a replacement!??!!#@!).
Now Journey are on their Final Frontier Tour where they claim to be hanging it up once they complete this run of shows. As they were coming to town and the Wolf Cub wanted to see them again since we left before the end last time, The Wolf caved and agreed to take here. Same venue, better seats but now it's an evening with Journey - no opening act.
Though the crowd was happy they were very old, didn't make much noise or stand up much and there were more than a few empty seats. The screens were cool and had offered great artistic backdrops and video of the band while they performed. They gave us 29 songs (including some unnecessary solos) and played for nearly 3 hours. But the mix was off so The Wolf couldn't hear Neal Schon who played very well. Arnel Pineda, brought in almost 20 years ago to save the band and take them to new heights, is now older himself with gray hair and bit of rasp in his voice.
While the Wolf Cub had a blast singing along to her favorite tunes, the 70 and 80 year olds behind her saw fit to boo after certain songs. Who does that? Why were they booing? We'll take you through all the ups and downs of a Journey live show and what should be (but probably won't) their last tour.
