JOURNEY JUST SAD

Like other reviews, def l rocked it! Journey- so sad. All reviews are true. I was there. Looks like Journey is on their way out. Sound was so distorted, couldn’t tell what song was playing unless you really concentrated to hear it and we have the songs memorized like everyone else. Still love Journey- just sad.

JOURNEY AND DEF LEPPARD ARE SUB PAR

Most of everyone in our section was sitting down in their seats for BOTH concerts. Def Leppard had a better light show and video. Journey had no lights and their video lack interest. So Arnel of Journey was more energetic jumping around like a rock star like he should as he's the youngest of all the stars. And there was a guitar, piano and drum solo which is common for talented bands (Coldplay concerts also had solos too) But for Def Leppard ? I guess they cant jump because they might break their old knees. Still Joe captivated the crowd better than Arnel can by addressing them directly more. Obviously the crowd came in for Def Leppard but for raw individual talent, Journey members displayed that they can work on their own which is true as Arnel has already toured by himself last year. Def Leppard did not demonstrate individual talent and thats fine for them This review is for the 2nd show in Houston on Labor Day and both acts wanted to make it better than the 1st show.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY JOURNEY?

Def Leppard was spot-on...the music...the mix...and crowd engagement! Journey struggled...start to finish. Just when we thought the guitar solos would never end...they never did! Felt like filler. Too many unfamiliar songs. Journey fans are there to hear the HITS they love and grew up with. Sadly, Arnel's vocals were terribly flat. He seemed exhausted and disconnected from the audience.

DEF LEPPARD 👍 JOURNEY👎

My wife and I are both big fans of Journey and Def Leppard. Def open up the show. Their playing was tight, interacted with audience, good sound, nice light show with videos of earlier times, played like they wanted to be there and appreciated the fans. Then comes Journey. *Note* ( My ears are still ringing!). Fire the sound tech! The drums, bass, piano and guitar were way too loud. The only time they sounded decent is when they would let the fans sing parts of the song. Lead vocals was struggling. It felt as if they were trying to hide something. I know they are talented musicians with close to 50 years under their belt but Monday night they were not worth it. I finished my night at the bar drinking $11.00 draft. (Trying to drink away the painful sounds of Journey!) Very disappointed with Journey. Def Leppard should have headlined this event. Walking back to the hotel, the street performers out played Journey!

WHERE WAS THE SOUND CREW??

Def Leopard : amazing as always. Journey: Who knows? The sound mix was the WORST I've ever heard. All bass and distortion. It was painful and I left. They need a new sound crew. I feel so bad for them. They clearly had no idea.

WHERE WAS THE SOUND GUY FOR JOURNEY!

Def Leppard was awesome. Journey, who I have seen many times and was never dissatisfied, sounded terrible! Where was the sound technician!! They were distorted beyond belief. Very sad to see the band playing their hearts out not knowing how bad they were coming across. They need a new sound tech!!!
