the song they hated i.e. (tommy Shaw) and (James young) the most back in the day and now play it live without Dennis!!!sad. Kind of hypocrites, I think!!!
Lou left 21 years ago. Kelly stepped in and has been with them pretty much ever since. They're playing the songs we all love, live the way they're supposed to be heard.. who cares who's in the band or not anymore. They sound great, they're respecting the songs and obviously by the size of the crowds they're playing people are still going out and enjoying them.
Gotta love these guys! Still performing after 40 years, different members but keeping STYX alive! Tommy Shaw, James and Gowan are all great musicians for sure.
Thanks for sharing! The 2023 Live Freedom Concert is already over, but can't help but watch the video footage of Journey with AP! Wish they go on Tour again, soon!! **I have seen the 2022 and 2023 LIVE Concert at the venue Concert and it's precisely the same except that Neal added a song from Freedom Album"Let It Rain" loaded with his guitar works! , my least favorite! **I don't want to be paranoid about its reasons because come to think that Arnel is the longest-tenured frontman of Journey for 16 years, the least that Neal/Jon decides on the Traclistings is to get even 2 songs from each of the 3 last Albums in which has excellent songs of Journey that he sang and revised and add some of Arnel's!!! >>It would give Arnel that feeling of importance since he kept the band's legacy alive and successful, for that long, without fail! Arnel Pineda would have loved that and would keep him more inspired!! ** Remember that Steve Perry dropped his Trademark Lawsuit against Neal, is it part of the deal? or Neal is just making SP happy!!!..2023 Freedom Tour is such a big deal since it's Journey's 50th Anniversary, it's a great milestone to celebrate!!!!!! ** After All These Years ( fr. Revelation album) was once a HIT, for example, if songs are NOT being played at Concerts, people tend to forget..And many great more songs by Arnel from the last 2 albums, too!! ***! Neal is NOT considerate of Arnel, that's why bashers were all out there bashing Arnel that it's only SP songs he sings!! They got NO idea that AP got great songs from the last 3 albums, too!! Those bashers do not like to know, since they have not moved on yet!! >>>.* Wish Neal would pause for a moment and wonder how can he keep Arnel happy for a change!! If AP would not be in the NEXT Tour for 2024, then Neal would realize what has he done wrong??? Hope Arnel stays though!! >>>Yes, AP owes big gratitude to Neal for hiring him, and true, AP had paid his dues for what he has done for the band's legacy!--it is because of Arnel that has given additional life ( 16 yrs!) to the band that started floundering its popularity when SP left!! AP resurrected the band for what they have enjoyed additional success now!! AP helps the band to reach a great milestone of 50 years!!! Wish Neal who is acting as the manager too should come to his senses once and for all, to fix the band's feuds which can cause a split among its members, and cause more trouble in future tours!
**How many 70's and 80's rock bands are as hot as Journey? lots of them have failed! Maybe one reason was that Arnel Pineda has that versatile vocal ability, endurance,, young looks, and superb energy and charms to capture the crowds on the stage and gives an incredible performance each time! Hats off to Arnel Pineda! Happy 50th Anniversary, Journey!!
