Jonathan Cain should not have any animosity towards Gregg Rollie.. he hand picked Cain as his successor.. John Waite called Open Arms rubbish!! Journey provided Cain with a talented vehicle to get his music heard!! Without Rollie, Perry and Schon he would be nothing!!
They knocked "Of A Lifetime" out of the park right there! This was always my favorite era of Journey. Infinity/Evolution/Departure and of course, Captured.
How underrated is drummer Deen Castronovo? Not only an amazing singer, but killing a Santana song while being the ONLY percussionist on stage.... kudos Deen!!!!!
@@christianjimbomb8204 Well, the bad reputation thing can be left in the past. He does have a great voice. He said in an interview that he wanted to be true to the songs and make fans happy. I’ve heard him sing when not on stage, and he still sounds great. (With his “own voice.”) I think it would be hard to be famous, and it isn’t for everyone for sure. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.
@Betty Wallace not when they take their dirty laundry and smear it in the faces of the fans. They should have zipped it up and focus on bringing the fans more value.
@Betty Wallace Not everything needs to be all over social media everyday. 90% of bands have inner issues, they just keep it inner band like they should.
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle try sing the stuff you sang on the top part of your range when you were 25 at the age of 70. Tuning down is necessary and it doesn’t take anything away from the song.
Gregg, welcome back; you have been missed. You are what has been missing. What an awesome show. Congrats on 50 years of badassery to all of you gentlemen.
Arnell made it possible that Journey kept performing at the highest level for so long, uninterrupted since he began in 2007. Arnell Pineda is a legend. Journey's longest-standing frontman.
absolutely right i am a filipino but since steve perry left the band can we jyst be happy guys that the journey still performing amazing with arnel pineda i mean arnel has giving his heart and soul when he is on stage u can see it he love what he is doing and many ppl are also love him hope ppl stop comparing arnel and steve deen and arnell let''s give respect love and support to arnel and the journey with out comparison
@@PeachWNK meaning augerri didn’t even exist no one remembered him just my 2cents and that’s what I thought too! his presence dont have impact that is why maybe!
@SweetLove Oh, my gosh. You are so wrong. Look at any Journey fan page. Augeri is well loved. Arrival is beloved, as well. It’s a fantastic album. If you haven’t listened to it, that’s your loss. Steve was there from 1998-2006. He was the bridge. If it wasn’t for him, there would have been no Arnel. Didn’t exist. So derogatory.
I was at the concert in Austin. His voice was amazing and great to see them share the stage again. It was legendary! However, I was SICK to my stomach watching people leave the arena during his performance. Seriously, when you get a chance to witness the original members of Journey, you should consider yourself lucky and treat it as a gift. Thank you Journey for putting on a great wonderful show. I will cherish it for the rest of my life! Keep rocking on!
Steve Perry is Journey to a lot of people. Journey did 3 records before Steve Perry joined the band. Many of us want to see Greg back in. Do those tunes from the start. Loving this! We have tickets for San Antonio.
He is a legend. He might have still been the singer had Steve not shown up. Lord, lighten the f up. You wanna leave? Great. Really make a statement. Leave for good. Never, ever go to a Journey show again
I was there and it was great. But I could care less if people left. You got "sick to your stomach"? Seriously? Sounds way more like a YOU problem than them. It's their right. Sorry they didn't live up to YOUR expectations...lol.
@@Vancer1111 No needs to be so aggressive and insulting. He is passionate about the band and the music, I too would feel the same, especially as I am old enough to have grown up with the original Santana and then Journey.
wow,greg sounds great and you can see the joy again in neals eyes playing them good ole tunes,like they use to sound and he enjoys it well!!!!as all of us do!!!so great!!
I don't know what was more special, seeing Neil and Greg play old Journey songs or old Santana!!??? Both are historic and may never be seen again!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Yung black magic woman ni greg rolie anyway you want it lng ni arnel ang katapat nong patapos na ang kanta ni arnel ng anyway you want it napailing o napatingin si Greg rolie bahala na sya kung ano ang masabi nya ky arnel basta para sa akin da best si arnel❤❤❤yeeeehhheeeyyy mabuhay ang pinoy arnel pineda❤❤❤
Wow! Thank you so much for Capturing this and for sharing it! Been waiting a long time to see Gregg back performing with Journey…hope they make him a permanent addition…it’s really part of the history of this great band. Love it!
Arnel may resign to Journey and Collab with Jon Bon Jovi with their new band Jon & Arnel !!! Arnel will handle those songs that jon can't able to hit anymore.... Its a great collab !!! I cant imagine the power of these two great voice !!!!
I wonder if the crowd knows how great of a musician Lukather is? The songs he wrote can fill a whole week of concerts! Rolle is awesome love his voice!
Brings back memories of what I considered to be the best Journey... Schon, Perry, Valory, Smith, Rolie. Saw that lineup in 1983 I think. Still one of the best shows I've ever seen. Basically the show that's on the live Captured album.
Gregg was an original member of Santana (1966) on keyboards and the voice of all their early hits. Neil joined the band early 70's. They left to form Journey. Give Gregg his props. He was a founding member of 2 highly successful bands.
just loved Greg in original journey band -it was great, wild energetic composing-not commercial.and my fav journey.i played i in cover bands that played that stuff
As much as I loved Steve Perry's vocals for Journey, I MISSED Gregg Rolie SO MUCH when he left Journey!! The band was NEVER the same again without him...These songs played in Austin, are A JOY to hear Gregg taking his rightful place at the keys and mic! It was TOO LONG comin' and I HOPE he plays with Journey more often! Get rid of John Cain especially since he's rippin' off the band and BRING GREGG BACK!!😍🥰💗💗💗
He is so soft-spoken he is such a gentleman very quiet just like he was when they initiated them into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame this was just perfect. I give kudos to Neal for orchestrating Gregg to come and perform. Thank you Neal
Love that guy. Always classy and still has his voice. BTW, what is up with Jonathan Cain? Leather suit...and too chubby for it. Elvis haircut and sideburns. He looks like a clown.
@@alfredooliva5175 I think Lavonne was saying that Neal orchestrated Greg coming to join in on that gig. So Yeah for that. But Greg quit Journey in 1980, other than publishing issues during his time in the band, he has no say whatsoever on happens in that band. When you quit, you relinquish your vote and you certainly can't come back or join in whenever you want. That is up to the active band members. Same goes for Steve. He has no say. If Steve wanted back in, the band would need to invite him. Even Arnel Pineda has a greater voice on the matter right now than Steve does. Of course Neal and Jonathan could override Arnel's vote in heartbeat if they wanted, and I am sure they would if they wanted. That's just how bands work.
G.R. is a legend. 75 years old and still tearing it up. Wow. Of course some of the vocal notes are a bit tough, but he's singing those O.G. Journey songs in the original key. Which is something very few if any of the "old timers', so to speak do nowadays.
And BTW G.R. was born in Seattle WA and grew up in Palo Alto CA and everyone knows that both Santana and Journey always considered San Francisco home base. I guess all that's missing at this show is Carlos lol
As singers get older 60+, it is usually difficult for them to hit the high notes (for sustained periods or at all) that they did in their younger years. Still got to appreciate the talent and skill regardless of the key.
@@drock9083 It was close to OG Santana and sounded like it. Tom Coster lives in Los Altos, Jorma Kakaunen from Santa Clara, Jerry Garcia Palo Alto but they all moved to the City once the band took off, then Marin County. Many still there.
@@drock9083 carlos turned into a diva somewhere in the 80's. in the 70's he actually played a whole show. later, he just walked out and played a few minutes and then disappeared over and over. and gregg was too much of a diva to go to his 50th HS reunion.
I saw Lukather jamming with Steve Morse and he had to ask Morse how he was doing certain things on his guitar. The real gold standard is Steve Morse and the one that say's it more often than anyone is John Petrucci.
@@markrobertdevison1227 There is a reason that Lukather has played on over 2,000 studio albums. I would bet money that nobody else can tout those kind of numbers. There is a reason.
Looks to me like 3/4 of fans didn't even know the old stuff . Just there to hear open arms for one millionth time . I for one loved a lot of the first 3 albums. Oh well it was a long time ago. Great to see some civility among the band at least for one night.
@MARISSAFEHERRADURA Well it's well documented Deen had some issues, that eventually landed him in a bad place. Or maybe Deen didn't want to play drums and lead every song. Drummers who can sing, are a different breed
...off-the-chain excellent! When Gregg and Neal get together, it takes the music to another level...Steve Lukather was an extra added /fantastic bonus...I think music critical mass was reached w/ Gregg, Neal, Luke and Deen on the same stage...hair was standing up on the back of my neck!!!
I was at this show. It was great. I’ve never been a big fan of Arnel, but his voice was great for this show. Was so excited to see Gregg Rolie. If I had known he would be there, I would have paid for better seats. 😊 Dean sounded amazing. I do think it was equipment failure, as he was loud and clear in the beginning. He sounds so much like Steve Perry!!! Would have been perfect night if Steve had been there also, even if to just walk out and speak to the fans. I knew it wouldn’t happen but was hoping.
@@whoknew6503 don't be so rude by your words. Be a good human being so you have a place in heaven if not you will go to hell. God said love your neighbor nor your enemy as you can love your self. Love is the biggest command of God.
Arnel is 55 years old, has been with the band for more years than Perry was and he can still sing Journey songs as he did when he debuted with the band. He has kept his voice healthy because he has no vices, does not do drugs, smoke or drink.
Neil Schon, I've always thought he was a very good guitar player but I have to say, the older he gets, the more he impresses me because his note for note precision is impeccable. This guy never misses a single note; not playing rhythm or in his solos. Incredible.
@@905Alive I'm not sure what your point is. I did not say anything negative about his guitar playing. That being said, my point was NOT that he has gotten to be a better guitar player as he has gotten older, although that may be the case, I'm saying that as he gets up there in age, (he is 68 right now as I speak), he plays his old songs just as good as the day he wrote them. He plays everything note for freaking note. He's amazing. A lot of guitar players lose it. Look at Carlos Santana. He's lazy, he's sloppy, he's a hack...and a guy grew up worshiping. So sad to see. Now I grew up a moderate Journey fan, not hard core at all. But seeing Schon's chops now makes me think that maybe I should have been worshiping him instead of Santana.
@@BH530711 I am a fairly new all-out Neal Schon fan. In the last 6 months, I got 6 of his solo albums. All freakin' amazing. His music is therapeutic to me. He makes the guitar express so much emotion. He's a legend.
I would absolutely love to see a Steve Augeri Band opener for The Storm reunion, with Journey as a headliner tour. Can you imagine the catalog of songs, with special guest John Waite.
Watched this this morning in hospital just having ng my knee replaced....made me forget about the pain!!🤪 Have seen Journey close to 30 times..... honestly can say they sound "better than ever"!! Can't wait to I get another chance...FAITHFULLY keeping this guy's in prayer!!🎸🎸
Love this, the only thing that would be better would be to have Steve back too! NO ONE can replace Steve and his voice!! Just my opinion.......But it's awesome to hear Gregg singing again!
@@rcruz262 do you really think that I believe Steve would come back? I may be old and a natural blonde, but I m not that dumb! All I said that that as far as "I" am concerned, he can't be replaced. Also, I wouldn't spend any money to see the new version of them. This is only MY opinion. I am allowed to have that without you coming at me......
We Love You Gregg Rolie!! God Bless You and Neal For Creating Journey 50 Years Ago! Some Of The Best Music Ever!! Thank You For Picking UP Neal So He Could Make It To Practice Every Day!! 😊
Thank you Arnel Pineda for introducing us to Journey and its music and making us proud. Without a singer like you, Journey would not have been able to keep going and continue playing in sold out concerts.
While watching this, I realized that I actually had forgotten how great of a voice Gregg has, and also how much his voice reminded me of Steve Lukathor, and then it happened, Steve walked out for a song. I did see Journey in concert a few times, but not before Gregg left the band, and I missed this most recent tour, but even just sitting at my computer and watching this on a big screen, this has to be my favorite Journey concert moment. I have to wonder just how many of Journey's younger fans are aware that Gregg and Neal were actually members of Santana before starting Journey.
Gregg Rolie amazing his voice is amazing. He is exactly correct music brings out the best in people makes them happy put some in a different frame of mind I'm just so grateful that I was able to hear the music from Austin. Thank you Gregg Rolie. Oh I forgot to say one other thing Neal plays a whole lot better and more intense when you are there he knows where his home is and it's with you and him just absolutely the best.
I think working with Ringo's All Star Band along side Steve Lukather has kept up Gregg's chops and voice. Add Neal, Deen, and the rest of the cast and you're right-they were amazing!
Incredible..The Luke solo is amazing. Taking nothing away from Schon though..both brilliant. Seeing Rolie up there again is unreal. Wish I'd been there.
I think Deen is singing some lead vocals here. Man, that guy is amazing. I think that Deen is the closest thing to Steve Perry that Journey ever had on vocals.
Hindi nya binanggit si arnel dahil nakita nya na kayang kaya lahat ni arnel at walang inaatrasan we love you arnel mahal ka naming lahat ng mga kababayan mo.❤❤❤
@Dennis Lagmay, me too. I’ll support the band while Arnel is the frontman. When he quits or gets fired, I’ll turn my back. I’m no longer a Journey fan. I’m an Arnel fan.
@Jeanne2323, I always did (or at least tried my best but still have to defend Arnel sometimes). I’ve learned a lot about the band’s history since I started listening to them just last year. I didn’t know Steve Perry until after I knew Arnel, though I am as old as Journey 🙂. I have deep respect for Steve. Knowing the history (though I don’t know the whole story) helped me understand the things Steve Perry fans do and say. I felt it was so disgusting at first. But I can tell you that if I was a Journey fan in the 80s/90s, I would have felt the same way as Steve Perry fans did. While that does not fully justify the things they do or say against Arnel, I would say their feelings are valid and understandable. And when Arnel is no longer the frontman, I will give due respect to the new frontman, knowing what Arnel went through.
Arnel can sing without journey. He can go to bonjovi if ever. Thanks Arnel for contributed your voice to the journey band for 15years. Filipino still support you
@@lolabebzdiysewiteasylearne5286 yeah you’re right. Fan of Steve perry can’t accept that Arnel can sing really good. Arnel is versatile singer. Who can do that? At his age 50’s still every night tour🥴🥴🥴 people should realize how humble and his dedication with this band . We Filipino truly appreciate him and support him all the way. There is no such thing to compare between of those two singers because Steve is Steve and Arnel is Arnel. Two singers support each other 😂😂 only a fan compares 😂
Arnel made the Journey survive for one and half decades… still counting! Those people who are saying negative comments are just envious. Anyhow, God make it happened and these people cannot do anything, no matter what. Cheers to Arnel Pineda! Perform with pride ! Show to those envious people that you convert the negative to positive. The more they will pull you down, the more you’ll gain your strength to the top.
It’s funny how times change. I was 18 in 1973 and Greg is Journey to me. Greg Rollie was always the guy that put the voice to Journey. I consider him old-school Journey in the original. I always loved his sound and he’s looking and singing pretty damn good in 2023. I saw Journey at Winterland SF back in the early 70s. I walked up the aisle as they were starting their first song which was a cover of the Beatles. It’s all too much. I had gone to Winterland with a bunch of buddies, and I didn’t know what to expect from Journey. I was a huge Beatles fan. When I walked in and heard them playing that and sounding so good, I fell in love with them. I could not believe they were playing that song and for a moment I actually thought wow that’s the Beatles playing. I never heard them play that song again. Right on Greg. Your still the man.
I sure hope Arnel leaves the band for good. There are many replacement singers out there to pass the torch to and he doesn't deserve all the disdain and discrimination from the band and the hateful fans. He doesn't need to prove anything anymore. He needs to start his own "journey" whatever that is.
It's good to see that original/new Journey members will join their old mates, it's a great reunion!...For me, it's also good to add old members, help your old mates and share your blessings!...We're already old, few more years we're gone. Take out our selfishness, greed, jealousy, hatred....just help and be happy to each other!...We will not bring our money after we die. Show kindness to each other. God bless to all.
Total shame these guys don’t get along for real and this is just a business arrangement . Grown men who have made a fortune can’t get along ☹️ Poor Greg in the middle for no reason . Great job John and Neal👍
Can’t believe they played the early stuff before Steve perry joined. Greg’s band used to come to Santa Cruz every year for a free concert at the Beach boardwalk. I got to meet him between sets and asked him why they didn’t play any journey stuff, they played mostly Santana tunes, he told me the band didn’t know the tunes well enough. I still have all of the early albums from those days. Very underrated stuff. Hearing these tunes live is awesome! Wish I was there.
