Yes. It was a last minute invite from friends.
They did a great show for “seasoned” musicians. As in they had their set down, tried to keep the energy level up and sounded good. N Schon played a LOT of solos (seemed like practice scales at some points) and got pretty monotonous at times. They have a drummer that sings a lot of Steve Perry parts and nailed them. Overall they gave the crowd what they wanted and played a professional gig. But I am old enough to have seen the classic Journey lineup - this was good but it wasn’t like that. Father Time is undefeated.

We were at the show in Tupelo the night before. I had a good time.
No, they don’t sound like they did 40 years ago; who does?
They had a little bit of a rough start with the sound, I felt like it was a problem with the mix but once they fixed that it was a lot better.
But the place was packed and it was a fun show. Drummer Deen Castronovo was great and he actually got the biggest ovation at the end. The camera they had on him behind the drumset shows he is working hard back there.
Arnel Pineda sounded good and sang with a lot of energy. Neil Schon was Neil Schon. Jonathan Cain came out in a Tupelo High School football jersey so he got some play from that.
I always drag my daughters to these things so they can say they saw them. They always have fun once they figure out exactly who they are seeing. They were kind of antsy in the beginning while they did the “deep tracks,” but once the band started cranking up all the hits and radio songs they got into it and had a good time too.
I thought it was fun, I would go back to see them again, and I was never more than a casual Journey fan. Lots of people there who had seen Journey several times before said they enjoyed it too.
