This super group of the from late 1978 to the present, played in Toronto last night at the Molson Amphitheater. This also happens to be the band’s new lead singer’s, Arnel Pineda’s, birthday. I bet he put on a fabulous show this night!
I have been a fan of Journey for some time now. I remember figuring out how to play Don’t Stop Believing on the piano when I was attending St. John’s High School in Brantford and I played it all the time. The vocalist Steve Perry range was unforgettable and some of the guitar work was just so in your face.
I only regret that I did not get the opportunity to have played any of their songs with Pylis. Now that was tragic indeed. Anyway your want it, would have been the best fit in mind!
The former lead singer Jeff Scott Soto is replaced by Arnel Pineda. Arnel is from Quezon City in the Philippines. While looking for a replacement for Jeff, Guitarist Neal Schon, located Arnel on youtube singing many tunes with his band The Zoo. He got a hold of him through youtube and the rest is history.
This show also had Heart and Cheap Trick on the billing. This would of been one hell of a show to see, I wish that we could have been there for this one!
Keep on Jammin’
We really miss Jeff performing, but Arnel Pineda singing is not that bad….
I have not been exposed to Journey’s last singer Jeff Scott Soto, so I will have to look up some of the tunes he sang Music Mars.
Thanx for coming on by.
My band covers some old Journey stuff (Steve Perry days). But the girls have to do the vocals. Too high for the guys.
We sing the Heart songs too, natch. No Cheap Trick, though.
You know. That definitely would have been a good concert. I’ll always go see the Wilson sisters.
Great comment Carol!
Sorry for the long time delay in replying back to this post, but you know … things to do and trying desperately to squeeze the last once of summer that we can!
I just got off the phone last night with my good old buddy Tony, from my Pylis, and he said he went to this show. He thought that Arnel Pineda was great, but he said he was moving around too much for his liking. Journey was fabulous and Cheap Trick was fun, as always, to watch but Heart was the best of the billing. And if Tony says so, then I believe him!
Where did you see them? Was it a big venue with good acoustics?
Love hearing from ya and …
Keep on Jammin’
