Here are some reviews and pics from the recently concluded Journey's concert in Las Vegas.
What an awesome show! Just having the cameras there added a little more energy there than normal. The show started with a different intro from Neal than we've heard before, which kicked into Any Way You Want It.
A big suprise for me for the night was throwing in Faith In The Heartland. Arnel did it justice! It was an awesome rendition.
The three new songs played were "After All These Years," "Never Walk Away" (which had some great harmonies!) and "Wildest Dreams." Deen also sang two songs -- "After the Fall" and "Mother Father" -- the latter being spectacular!
Jon's solo had a little bit more a bluesy twist in compared to recent years. Faithfully had a cool video that went along with it that showed Deen with his kid and Neal with his fro!
After Don't Stop Believin, the boys came back to do Be Good To Yourself for the encore. The show seemingly ended after that, but an announcer said that one of the songs had to be redone for the DVD (I believe it was sound problems). So they redid "Wildest Dreams" and then Jon asked "how would you guys like to hear Faithfully again?" \:\) Finally, they ended with "Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin."
With some luck, I was able to meet the band for the first time ever after the show. It was fun to finally meet them. Deen is so funny and friendly! Here is the setlist.

Hello Folks, Let me give you a quick run down of the PH concert. I got there around 5:30 PM, chatted with friends from this website. Stryder gave away journey t shirts and badges. Frank also had badges made and the Chile Concert DVD. I provided the glowsticks, I don't think some of them made in the show because they were in cannisters. Nevertheless there were plenty of them. Ate buffet and headed to the concert. Nikkspar was 2 rows in front of me. Concert was a success. They sang 3 new songs from their album the revelations. Security was very tough as they didn't allow any cameras or recorders. I had my NIKON D70 with me with my 300 mm zoom lens, my sony compact HDD video recorder. I was able to sneak them in. Last three songs I was able to record them, loved the song lovin', touchin', squuezin'. I was able to take plenty of pictures too. The show was almost 3 hours, he had to sing faithfully again because he adlib some parts and hit low notes, but it was still terrific. The re do was magnificent. End of concert we went to menzannine (hope i spelled it right), houstontex, stryder and some of the people here were there. They wouldn't let arnel out. I was able to sneak in for for 2 minutes with my fake badge but the kick me right out when they saw it. Well it was my B day too, too many people and can't get to arnel. My wife asked arnel if we could take pictures together as my B day present he said, ofcourse. clicked some pictures, he gave me a hug and he said SALAMAT SA SUPORTA PARE , (thanks for your support my friend), all I could say was " I LOVE YOU MAN " a little embarassing but it was well worth my time. I will upload the videos and pictures either tonight or tomorrow. I did one already
