Ahhh, Journey and Heart,a show that I will see time and time again as long as they make their way through Indianapolis. I love them, maybe I am bias towards them because my mom and I have had many heartfelt moments to them, besides that they rock (as long as the front man knows his stuff as Arnel does). I mean come on they found him on YouTube singing to his favorite band (Journey DUH!) as well as other songs and now he is the lead singer, what a gig!
Yes they did newer songs and older songs, the classics, of course received better crowd participation but you know what even the songs I didn’t know sounded awesome and they were still jamming, and to me, showing what they can do musically. When you have been around as long as Journey has you have to strut your stuff.
I like that Arnel jumps and runs around the stage, it has to take a lot out of a performer to do that and still sound as awesome as he did. I think he sounds just as good as past front man Steve Perry. And trust me I have seen Journey concerts where the sit-in singer sucked! But the band, Journey is for me, a household name. And even the songs I didn’t know I still sweated through and tried to sing, that’s what I do. I love Journey.
Yes the heat was crazy but it’s the State Fair and it’s August so I was prepared, and maybe all the fair food I ate before the show wasn’t a good idea but what can I say.
Heart also put on an amazing show, the vocals on the Wilson sisters is ridiculous. These ladies are rocker chics to the core and I love the sisterly bond they have while they perform. It makes me want to start a band with my sister, and yes I thought about it, we would be called Lungs! To me, there are not many who can belt out songs like they can.
My point, regardless of who the lead singer is or how long the guitar riffs, I flippin’ love Journey and will continue to see them for as long as they tour. For new hits and old, they rocked it. I thought Arnel’s accent was cute too. (Besides the point I know but it was, he is just so happy and who the hell wouldn’t be?)
I love your review! Keep it up!
[...] via Journey Review another perspective.. [...]
Thank you for the review.We’re sure that you finished the concert ! Ha,ha.We’re also glad that ,you,at least knew the name of Journey lead singer before you wrote the review unlike other reviewer who seems to be a time traveller.
I couldn’t agree more Lindsey!
My cousins were there! And believe me, they were as hyped as you were Lindsey. They just couldnt stop singing. They said, how could they not to? Arnel played the crowd non-stop!
(SIGH) Wish I was there too….
Thank you Linsey! Your review of Journey is awesome! I’m glad you have a great time.
So you saw the show with Jeff Scott Soto (the co-bill with Def Leppard) ? I was so close to going to that show but when I heard Augeri was out, I changed my mind.
At least I *think* that’s how it all went down. Please correct me otherwise
Bravo Lindsey! Pineapple freezes for everyone!
Bravo
Love it!!!

Thanks for a wonderful review. I”m sure youre not drunk as the other reviewer I think. You did a fine review regardless of what they wear, what they sang and what they did and most of all regardless of what color the lead singer was. Continue on Lindsey and Good luck to you.
“And trust me I have seen Journey concerts where the sit-in singer sucked!”
Where you referring to Perry?
Oh yeah, I have to say Pineda is a WONDERFUL singer, but Pineda will never be as good as Perry.
Turncoat!
Dear Lindsey,
I love your review not like the “shit” review that Elise wrote. At least, you did your homework. You got the lead singer’s name correctly.

I just wanted to say that I was at the concert at the fair. It was awesome and I enjoyed it much. I hope to go to another show but don’t think it would be at a fiar. I need more than an hour and half. Arnel is wonderful and sounds much like Steve(I like him too).
