i love journey songs. i love the members because each of them contributed the beauty of the songs. Their talents are incredible. i just missed ross valory who is one of the original members who is now gone because of some differences. i dont really miss steve perry bec arnel did his job almost perfectly. i believed its Gods providence that neal found arnel for he really cant let the band die a natural death. i admired neals openmindedness on looking for a new singer...and he is right in doing it. the band survived and enkindled the dying hearts of journey fans all over the world who wish to hear and watch their future concerts...im one of them. i am now 62 years old who is loving journey through the years since my junior and college yrs. i just wish that i can watch one of their concerts with AP before God calls me. I love you guys. continue composing beautiful songs that can touch human hearts.
I never thought that the combination of Journey and an orchestra would go together so well. Awesome! I just don't get the crap people give Arnel. I grew up with Journey as a child of the 80s. I have always liked Journey. Arnel made me a fan of Journey. You could not ask for a nicer, more humble person with a very inspirational story who, by the way, can sing the hell out of every Journey song on their set list.
@Invencible I think I made it pretty clear about my views on Journey now and then, but if you have an issue with reading comprehension, then that's your problem...not mine.
Arnel Pineda is so humble and loving to give you thise great songs of Journey's set list,hes tired but keep on going to keep this songs playing..so good man...we love you all Journey bands.
Thank you for uploading the whole concert. I am a BIG fan of this band and will not be tired of listening to all of Journey’s music. Forever Journey ❤️❤️❤️.
Excellent video! Beautiful audio! Amazing setlist it's about time City of Hope from Eclipse gets some airplay! Rock on Journey ! See you in DC with Toto March 1'st 2023
Arnel is a total Godsend and GRT to see/hear Dean back on drums! I saw them at The Hollywood Bowl 7 yrs ago and was blown awayyyyy Hats off to Neil and Johnathon also 100 for keeping this amazing music alive and LIVE for so many decades!
Arnel here is already 55yrs old he sings all his entire life . Good thing he still can sing journeys songs. Compare to other lead vocalist now hes totally amazing
Imagine the guy is doing it for almost 15 yrs now and can still sing. Sometimes he still have gigs with other band. His 50+ now I guess but still full of energy.
I've loved Jrny for years! Have seen them live with SP, SA and AP. This is not a good performance at all. Stone in Love, my favorite song of my life, is horrible. AP is way out of tune. NS guitar is out of tune. They've done way better.
Arnel should rest his voice stop touring for a while seems he 's struggling to high notes in fairness at his age he can still rocking...2thumbs up for this guy for having too much passion on his craft..
I really love Journey, I also like classical music. And maybe it's because of the recording quality, but never has it made more sense to mix a Rock band and an Orchestra. Separate ways and some more are challenging songs, and Amel Pineda is a great singer, but you here that near the end, the voice suffers. All the Best for him, the Band and some more great years together in the studio and on tour!
They have his drums so jacked up with signal processing, that's why it sounds so powerful. he is a great drummer. I'd rather hear him sing than Arnel. At least Dean doesn't hack up the vocals and sing out of pitch like Arnel's doing. Such a shame.
Journey thrives because of AP and the torch blazes along the way. However, and this to me is important...that torch continues to be a trailblazer because Journey has transformed itself into a shining band of respectable, patient, caring, understanding and brotherly love! Each one is vital to one another. You feel genuine sincerity and humility kicking in during interviews. Then realize the authentic soul in the music they joyfully pour out in every performance. Its fan base has attracted new generations. Journey is on a pedestal way above the others. Isn't 15yrs supporting and complementing each other proof of that? God bless 🙏 Journey and its fans..
ArneL usually has a very fine voice, and I do not know how he does it night after night. Here, his voice was worn out which is unusual. He usually has a very handsome, and strong voice. This only proves any one can have a tough time singing sooner or later.
@@ravenrisby Money can't be just the reason. I'm not wasting money and time if I don't have the ears wanting to listen with the attendant eyes to watch them perform. They've got to while the iron's still hot.. It won't be long...
consider that even drums and guitar sound thin and smaller than it should be on this video. the sound itself is not mixed and processed here as needed. (Its amateur record). Seeing how Arnel works in his 50s during 2 hour concert ... Its phenomenal! Great singer
Thank you for this long video im loving it Arnel is Rocking and wild.....this concert from journey is Brutal....but Arnel is giving it all the best he could👌👐💪💜❤ All of them are the best since then.
Arnel has been singing since childhood, belting those high notes of Air Supply, Survivor,Whitney Houston etc… I can say that his vocal cords are really durable! I salute 🫡 you Mr. Arnel Pineda
Aps voice is no longer there he needs rest it's raspy ,when he tries to hit those sustained notes he has to shrill up ,please neal give the poor guy a rest rg Merced, CA.
From Texas. Aren’t they the best? I applaud the whole band’s ability to keep this wonderful music going night after night, especially Arnel who must be completely worn out, but he keeps on going. Love to you all.
Obviamente Arnel estava doente nesse dia. Estamos em 2023 e eu o vi ao vivo aqui em Québec há duas semanas atrás, e estava impecável. Uma das maiores vozes do rock n roll mundial.
Another powerful and fantastic performance by AP! The journey band is lucky to have recruited him, his consistent incredible performance and dedication are beyond compare! Watching Journey band with AP in person at LIVE Concert is worth every penny for entertainment value I can't wait to see another Journey LIVE Concert experience again! My friends and I have purchased tickets already for Journey's 50th Anniversary! I will never miss that special grand Event! Journey rocks!!
Better clear out the wax in your ears. Arnel's hacking this up BIG time. Arnel's so out of tune with Don't Stop Believing, it's not worth listening to the rest of this debacle. The band sounds fine. A little too polished and ostentatious for me, but I guess it's Vegas and that's what people want. Glad I didn't fork out the money for this.
@@markreyes1866 Did you study English? Learn how to at least use a Spell Checker. I'm not comparing Steve Perry now because he's in his mid 70's, he's essentially at retirement age. But I'm comparing the recordings of Steve Perry with Journey compared to Arnel with Journey. When is that going to seep into your thick skull? But Arnel could never match the level of Steve Perry when Steve was with Journey, that's the point. the recordings of Journey with Steve Perry still work. I'd rather listen to those recordings because they have stood the test of time.
@@Oneness100SP is feminine voice unlike AP is musculine voice thats why AP can sing any songs like BOn jovi,Bryan Adams ,Air Supply,Steve Tyler. Axl Rose,Heart ,Survivor,etc.. I dont think SP can sing those songs i.
imagine if from the start of Journey Arnel Pineda was the front man of this band ....holy cow that's a long long long years of giving happiness to the entire world...
Hats off to Mr. Castronovo, hitting those notes while playing the drums! Of course, to Mr. Pineda's endurance to sing 20 songs, night after night during the course of their concert tours.
Mucho se ha comentado de lo difíciles que son las canciones de Journey y que, literal, acaban con las voces de los cantantes líderes, eso le paso a Steve Perry y también, despues de 14 años de estar en la banda, le ha pasado a Arnel, se escucha su voz desgastada, pero aún muy bien, se nota que se esfuerza muchísimo!!! Mis respetos para Arnel que con mucha humildad pudo soportar, y ha seguido soportando, tanta presión al estar en Journey. Y si, como muchos dicen, le trajo vida de vuelta a la banda. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Steve perry no se retiró en pleno apogeo no por su voz, se retiró porque falleció su mamita, él se retiró, renunció porque tenía que organizar todo lo que tocaba a falta de su madre, decidió alejarse por completo de los escenarios, a la fecha tiene gran voz, compone, grava canciones en solitario, le dio la bienvenida a arnel, estrecho su mano y le desi mucho éxito, steve ya quiere vivir lejos del bullicio de la ciudad, admirando la naturaleza, en paz y relajado , es verdad que arnel ha trabajado intensamente en giras muy seguidas sin descansar, no es lo mismo que tocar un instrumento infinitamente sin descansar, esta joven por eso resiste el ritmo, tiene muy buena técnica vocal por eso llega muy rápido a la fatiga de sus cuerdas vocales,
My favorite band. Arnel actual seemed a bit intoxicated when he started singing. May have to medicate to meet the vocal demands. He tries hard. Neal kicks ass! Deans vocal and drumming is the backbone.
SP started JOURNEY but HE LEFT HANGING THEM IN THE AIR But they FOUND AP TO KEEP 4THIS BAND ALIVE UNTIL. AP IS WITH JOURNEY FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS. THE LONGEST.
Arnel's idol is Steve Perry!! It's difficult for me to watch Arnel try to sing Steve Perry's songs!! He's really straining his voice! I would not pay to go to his concerts!! 🤷
do you not hear how badly Arnel's hacking these songs up? I listened to Don't Stop Believing and it's embarrassing. Steve would NEVER sing that song or any of those songs that badly. Steve was a PERFECTIONIST, and never sang out of tune like that on a gig.
@@VIDEOHEREBOB Putting one's all into something is different than singing it well. It's worse to hear someone putting their all into something and singing it badly. A bad performance is still a bad performance.
@@Oneness100 then please watch their concert in Vegas when he was just starting with the group. I agree with you that his singing has deteriorated. Arnel will not last more than a decade with journey if he is not good. Peace! ✌✌✌🤘
I saw this same show the night before (7/22/22) and Arnel’s voice was near perfect, imo. His voice was much more strained in this video. I read he has asthma.
This was the first time I’ve ever seen Journey in concert! When I was 17 which was 46 years ago a older woman gave me my first Journey album and ever since then I’ve been hooked! Yep on older women to lol! I have to say I wish throughout the years I would have seen you guys in concert but it wasn’t something we all did! I was out riding Harleys and chasing strippers lol! Good times! Watching this show it gave me so much more of an appreciation at how you ladies and gentlemen have mastered your craft! It was really a pleasure to sit and watch this performance! Ty for all the years of your incredible gifts combined to give us Journey! Outstanding! ❤
Hard to listen to for me….Schon playing is his typical overindulgent self….Arnel has been used and abused….voice is now rough and so he’s often flat…so Perry was right….they just wanted to wear him out…..Amerigreed
I really enjoyed this Concert, Arnel doesn't have to prove anything because he's an awesome singer. I enjoyed hearing Jason sing and Dean was a blast! I would love to attend one of their concerts, it was fabulous!! Journey!
@@dirkdefenbaugh9674 He's on his second night singing in a damned desert. Vegas Throat is a real thing among singers. Ask Sinatra, I THINK he coined the term. Listen carefully to Deen right after "Mother Father". He puts his mic back on and you hear him say "Holy shit, I can't breathe" and then his mic gets cut off. I can only imagine how tough it is for Arnel here.
Steve sets the bar so.high... and Arnel need to continue the legacy of where this bar is to be maintained for the longest time.... imagine 15 yrs singing those Journey's song at that level. So much love to Arnel and Deen 😍❤❤❤
Some songs sound great with orchestras but not the whole show. The ending of the show was a slap in the face to the orchestra because they really disrespected them. Even Pineda had to be reminded they were there when saying his goodbyes and then the lighting tech closed the lights on them after a brief thank you. Journey didn't need the orchestra but they sure to hell should have showed them more respect.
Agree 1,000%. I really like him as a singer and early on just thought he did outstanding. You can see the difference over the years. The guy needs break. I believe Steve Perry had a similar story.
??? Arnel is great here.......................... hitting ALL those notes..yes..there is the Perry "Seperate Ways" croak creeping in.... still sounds great though..... two weeks rest will cure that.........
Those who comment that, they are pretending to be concerned and Arnel's fans were in fact they are not... they are in the other side( SP)...we love you Arnel.. FOREVER.
Arnel should rest; his voice is wearing out. He should take care of his voice as too, he had a serious vocal chord damaged. I wish he can rest.. there's so much to care for in his body, he's not getting any younger, one must admit that we slowly gets worn out. Im afraid that one day he'll be kicked out but it musnt happen;he must be reminded politely because he deserved to be. We love you arnel and care for you our kabaabayan
His tired and exhausted his voice sounded horrible. He needs to call it. Neil wants more money doesn't even rest for the meantime he wants every year gigs. That's why I realized Steve Perry quit the band..vocal needs a long rest after a long gig.
Journey Band have to be thankful to our Kababayan Arnel Pineda if not they would continue Journey as of now. So hard to be the Front man of this band. No rest to his voice cos of continously scheduled of concerts so how could it be so hard you have to know that guys. Thank you so much to our Almighty God that we have Arnel Pineda. So proud of you coz you do your best to continously doing good to that band Journey. God is the Greatest!!!
That scream he does several times in every song trying to take the notes higher sounds awful and is very annoying the way he keeps doing it over and over. Someone in the band needs to tell him to stop that.
The most hardworking, excellent band I’ve ever known. Most of them are in their senior years, they will have time to train their expertise to talented younger musicians to continue the legacy of Journey in the near future.
After 15 years Arnel continue to hits all high notes.everybody knows that all journey song is all high...besides this concert is more than 2hours...this is the longest concert of journey with arnel.compare to all live concert of journey with Steve
Wow Arnel having vocal trouble 😳 he didn't sound like that when they came to Little Rock, end of tour strains maybe. Deen Castronovo should take over more 🤔 🙂
