This and "Look Into The Future" are my favorite ALL time, of ALL SONGS. From day one....way way back then......and Greg`s voice for me the very BEST!!!
This is as original as Journey could ever get and there are just as many original Journey members playing in this gig as there are in the original Journey. These older songs don't get the love they deserve but I'd love to see this gig live.
One of the greatest Journey songs ever off the very first album WOW 1974 listening to whole album over and over and over again unbelievable every single song but this one WOW it still hits me like I was 17 and man Neal played this song exactly like it was on that album I saw him at Winterland in San Francisco Bill Graham Presents 3/30 1974 he was just freaking 20 turning 21 playing in concert at one of the best venues ever on the corner of Post and Steiner we saw him with 🎸🎤🥁🎹 2 other groups and Journey for $5 five little dollars just amazing times!
I hear you brother I think they had to go on tour with Carlos make it real all the way I bet you that Tori would make some money man they would sell concerts out then get $200 a ticket
If this (Of a lifetime) is their Stairway... , then "Midnight Dreamer" is their "No Quarter" and then what is "Kashmir"? "You're on your own"? "Topaz"? "Here we are"? Man, those first three albums had it all. It was Cream meets Pink Floid. It was Beatles meets Hendrix. It was Incredible and Intense, fun and mature Majestic art rock. At it's BEST!
OLD TIME JOURNEY FANS HAVE TO NOW RESPECT THE BAND AGAIN FOR THIS NEW LOOK, AND THE NEW SPARK DEEN BRINGS TO THE JOURNEY MUSIC COLLECTION, HOW GREAT TO GREG ROLLY BACK AGAIN
Omg!! That literally gave me chills watching that !!! I never thought I'd see the day when Neal would play this Live with Gregg again. Just my luck I moved to Omaha in 2004 and I couldn't be at home in Bay Area to see this in the Club !! Lol 🎸🎸🎸
That's another classic that echoes in your mind gold record phycedellic man schon and rollie on vocals cant touch it man methodically speaking very talanted writers and plays very well squeeze that lemon
Journey's first 3 albums were the best......IMHO. This is a great tune and so are others from the original Journey such as Look into the Future........GREAT song.
this is the first track from Journeys first album, 3 before Perry! I wonder how Schon and Rolie felt at end of 1980 Departure tour,, the last they played this. Wow, 28 years later, they did it again. (Perry not required)
OMG! Greg Rollie singing HIS song again. The last time he did was right before he left Journey during their 1980, 1981 world tour. I love Perry and Arnell, too, but THIS was Rollie's song, one of the few he still sang after Perry signed on. THANKS FOR POSTING.
I wonder if Neal and Gregg really believed after the 1980 Departure tour that they would never play this song together again or if in their heart of hearts, they felt that they would. This venue is perfect, kudos to whole band and Rolie but especially to Schon who adds so much taste and finesse to his original guitar work.
Playing as part of the Journey 'tribute' band with Arnel pays the bills. But this is real music, and musicianship, and artistry (put aside the sound quality of the recording). I would give anything to see THIS band in concert again!!!
Gee that's a PRETTY IGNORANT statement! ( rollling my eyes) You OBVIOUSLY don't really know anything about Journey or their founder's history and motive for starging that band. (You ALSO DO realize that Neal is a multimillionaire right? No need to "pay the bills".). Arnel Pineda is the longest running vocalist for Journey. Johnathan Cain and Neal Schon have been Journey for decades.
Neil if you watch any of these videos on RU-vid How about getting this version to tour .This is a great line up dam Deen is sounding fantastic and gregg rolie is so missed.Think you would have a tremendous turnout at all the shows or do an album then tour .Just a thought Neil .
That was awesome they got a good band Neil and Greg keep it going this is what your fans want to hear you guys are the heartbeat of the band yeah that that set you just did just gave me goosebumps that was smoking yeah that's what I'm talking about some people want to hear one off the bottom like that I'm one of them psychedelic to the Bone
I was at that concert night Ranger George Lopez Santana Journey concert at Shoreline look what Carlos did he opened up with a old school song from the bottom of the deck when he came out and he played that song and it was beautiful because like wow he brought it off the Abraxas album that was truly amazing for the crowd cuz we were just sitting in amazement of this song that he brought out it was the first song on the Abraxas album not to get off on Carlos but you guys can do the same thing need to put Ross Valor as a bass he's been there since day one I met him at a gas station one time in san bruno ave You guys was gigging locally back in 04 05 blew my mind I'm a really big fan good things are coming your way I'm glad Greg's back in your corner that guy smokes I seen at the boardwalk and it sounded just like the damn Record Man like it was yesterday hes got the pipes hang on to the good things in life rock on brothers peace out
While Deen is no Aynsley(few are/were), they would be a solid gathering (former Journey/Dead Daises) group of musicians playing both the Old, Progressive tunes, with a mixture of Perry/Rolie Era, and a few of the later "hits", on their upcoming 2019 Tour Dates.
Aynsley Dunbar needs to get up on that record I don't know what niels trying to do but needs to put the original artist back together just like Carlos did keep it old school baby
I wouldn’t say that Deen takes a back seat to anybody. Nothing about his style in any way limits this band. He is rock n roll, he is raw, he is spot on the money. And his vocals are epic.
I got every Journey album and I'm a faithful fan since day one you guys rock I'd love to see you guys in concert anytime but bring it back to the old school stuff that's heartfelt man that's pretty cool that's where you going to get your fanbase audience that's where it all started from go back to the beginning Where it All Began let's make an Anthology album
I agree Neil is good I like me a lot I like his style of playing he plays with a lot of Heart by the fire he comes from a long line of old school music is very talented and got a sound nobody can touch he's one of my favorites
Thanks brother that was kind of you I can't wait till they come out the reunions tour I'm going I don't know about you I want to hear some of that old school stuff you know psychedelic is where it's at little bit more refined Progressive but it's digging down pretty deep it's real music very instrumental it's a artistic different and it's like there's music these kids are playing nowadays let me tell you Journey rocks in my book
Ah, but you're missing George Tickner from that original lineup. 2nd guitarist. Very good player, influential in developing their original sound/style. Of course, Journey did just fine without him. Schon is just a monster.
I remember seeing Neal when he was about 16 or so with Santana, really really good. Looks like he's gained about 40 pounds or so... still a really great guitar player despite the weight.
Synthonaplinth, Actually they had SIX albums with Rolie before they got Cain. 3 without Perry and 3 with Perry before Cain. And Journey's first album still is my favorite. I has great instrumentals on it, which they can't do with Cain. He's not capable of playing those songs, plus Cain isn't a B-3 player and I think Journey songs with B-3's kick ass.
