Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)
Not bad... a little pitchy... a little flat on the money notes... likely still not hearing himself very well... takes awhile to get your "stage ears" back....
Only the Young
Same here...
Stone in Love
Definitely hear Arnel struggling on parts he historically would have powered through pitch-wise. He's ducking notes. This should be expected. He's a 53 year old tenor singing songs originally sung by an alto-tenor, who quit singing them when he was 38 years old...
Arnel is also singing at the top of his range, and is already well past the age where male's voices decline.
Having Deen back should help alleviate that, as Deen is an alto tenor... with a range very similar to Perry's.

Not specifically Journey related, but other pictures I saw of the crowd showed it looked enourmous. I hope all of those people were wearing masks and had their vax.

Don’t worry, Biden is planning another lockdown I hear, just 2 weeks this time, to flatten the curve. Jack Posobiec @jackposobiec WH official this am: “Biden lockdown speech being drawn up this week…they’re planning to make it sound like one of the most solemn in history, real Bush on the night of 9/11 type stuff. Would start stocking up if I were y’all” Man, Arnel does sound rough on SW.

First off....Hulu (or whoever) dropped the ball with the changing airtimes. Still, I'm glad the band's full set was aired and not just 45 minutes before cutting to Post Malone.
As for the show.....I missed the first two songs (SW and OTY) because of the air time change.
Neal clearly came to kick ass. Never sounded better. Wow. Great tone. Not muddied up with all sorts of extra effects or loops.
The improvised jam in between La Do Da was a great sneak peak into the new lineup's potential. Nobody is asking for the band to become Phish or DMB, but it was great to see them stretch out, flex their muscles, and jam.
Arnel struggled until Wheel in the Sky. Not sure what happened. But, hey, look, these are tough songs. And tbh, Arnel at his worst is still better than Augeri at his worst. I noticed canned oxygen on the stage. Not sure what that is about. They have a month until the next show, so hopefully Arnel rests up and maybe they lower some keys.
Overall, I was impressed. The show had great energy.
Cain seemed bored and had alot of nose hairs sticking out.

The clips that are floating around on YouTube sound like shit compared to the stream on Hulu. As far as people posting crappy quality videos....just stop.

Not a twitter user, but someone showed me this. Neal is complaining about a conspiracy to keep the spotlight off of him. Probably the same people who hacked his FB, etc.

Is it actually Michaele running his social media accounts trying to generate controversy? Either way, he comes off insane.

My recollection is that he said/did some pretty crazy stuff before her. Wasn't he even engaged or married to some other woman in France or something when he dumped her for the current wife? And she thought it was a good idea to go along with a plan to crash a White House state dinner with her ex-husband? Neither one seems to lacking in the dumbass department. It does give us something to talk about though.

TNC, can you tell those goobers across the tracks that Randy Jackson is worth $60 Million dollars. Perry has $70, Neal $45, Cain $30 and Narada $8.
Randy isn’t doing Journey for money, Walden maybe.
And remind Monkey that our whole group was banned permanently and he’s a goobers goober.

I wonder what Smith and Valory are. I would expect significanlty less due to no writing credits and less time in the band. Funny to me that Jackson is at 60 when Neal and Cain have done way much more musically than him. His Idol stuff must have paid really well or he invested really well.

Fuck that! I do drop in occasionally and read some posts.
As for Neal, if he could just stick to playing guitars that would be great...
