GOOD CONCERT

I thought it was really good. Maybe not the best Journey concert I have seen, but good.

TOTO AND JOURNEY

Toto was a fantastic surprise! So good and they really seemed to be having a great time! A real band with lots of comradrie, and their sound was excellent. I'd see them again 100%. Journey should have been called The Neil Schon band et al. Camera on him the entire time, too many guitar solos that lasted way too long, Arnel hit the notes but the sound was off, could hardly hear him at times. LOVED Mother Father by Castronova! Happy to hear all the hits I knew and still love. I saw Journey with Steve Perry in 1986. I miss Perry. Had a good time but this will be the last time I go to a Journey concert.

JOURNEY? IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED THE NEIL SCHON SHOW!

Journey was a former shell of what they were. The singer was great but you could tell he was just being pushed out of the way by the "look at me" guitar playing of Neil Schon. Their sound was absolutely horrible with the blasting almost heavy metal guitar and a solo after every single song. Jonathan Cain spent more time playing rhythm guitar than the keyboards and they had a second keyboard player with them. Sorry, but this is not the Journey I remember. The setlist was filled with all the hits, so thankfully there was some good to this. We were lucky and got free tickets which dampened the sting a bit more than if I had to pay the $89.50 which some people paid. Sorry Journey, but it might be time to hang it up. Toto on the other hand was amazing. The sound was incredibly balanced and everyone in the band looked they were having a great time.

TOTO WAS AWESOME!

Let me start by saying that Toto was incredibly awesome and the sound was amazing! Journey on the other hand was disappointing! The lead singer could not hold the long runs in the songs and frequently had to take breaths in between to get through the run:(. At times he even sounded off key. The song set was amazing and all the popular songs were sung. Neil Schon did a nice job on the guitar but for some reason he was the only one that came through clear in the sound system??? They tried and we still had an amazing time but unless they’re going to really start training for a concert again – it may be the time to hang it up:(

ARNEL'S VOCAL CHORDS NEED A BREAK!

The entire show I felt his mic was either cutting out or he was. At times he sounded flat. The band was great and I think they amped up the band sound to mask the truth that Arnel's been pushing it too much for too long. I lost saw them perform at Summerfest and the vocals were spot on. Time to gargle some salt water and see an ENT Doc!

5 STARS FOR TOTO, 3 STARS FOR JOURNEY

Toto was amazing! Better than we could have ever expected. Their vocals were spot on, the sound, the musical talent, etc. was top notch. Would pay to see them again and again! Journey was "ok". They played all the hits, but the sound was horrible. Not sure what was going on, but it was super disappointing. Sound guy needs to be fired.

JOURNEY SOUND IMPROVEMENT

Not sure if it was the sound system, mic or vocals not reaching the notes but something was definitely off. I have seen Journey in the last 10 years and they were amazing compared to what I recently saw.
