To much of my shugrin, I did go see Journey the other night. The opening acts were Cheap Trick and Heart which those reviews will follow. Journey this time around has a new singer, Arnel Pineda. He's the closest thing to Steve Perry in looks and vocals. Maybe a little too close. They open with a couple of classics before they played a few of their new songs from the new album, Generations. The crowd (and myself) pretty much was going to fall asleep. It wasn't until they played Don't Stop Believin before the crowd got into it. Then they pretty ran the show from there with all the classics. Faithfully, Open Arms, Separate Ways, Wheel in the Sky, etc. They even threw in a couple of songs that weren't mainstream hits in La Do Da, Feeling That Way and Mother, father sung by the drummer who himself sounds like Steve Perry as well. They closed with Lovin, Touchin and Squeezin...which to me was a surprise. I figured they should have done Don't Stop Believin, but oh well. Over all the concert was 3.5 out of 5 stars
