Me encanta Journey son Fantásticos!!! Arnel tiene una energía increíble 👏👏👏😘

[@yolandonery1296]

Some guys here don’t understand how singing works. It’s called mixed voice. Combination of head tone and natural voice. He’s actually “cheating”. He is losing his voice due to his age and usage, and its shows. It’s harder for him to sustain lower notes than high’s. That’s a true tenor, and It’s been 16 years so cut him some slack. He’s been trying really hard to keep his voice healthy but age is getting into him. No drugs and other vices, otherwise, he won’t last this long. He works hard. Please give him some love.

The individuals criticizing this video likely haven't attended any of the band's live concerts. Clearly, the video fails to convey the true quality of the vocals and instrumentals. The negative feedback is solely based on this one representation. However, attending their concerts is a different experience altogether. I found them to be incredible live, and the energy was so contagious that tickets were selling like hotcakes.

I am watching this to see if I want to spend the cash to see them in Atlanta. We have a GREAT cover band here where you literally think Steve Perry is on stage with them. I saw Journey at the Cow Palace in 1981. I was 16. They are my favorite but not sure about this version... hmmmm.

[@dannymontoya9469]

I get what you're saying, but those songs. All live I believe. Worth a watch IMO. Have fun dude!

[@elpablosky6300]

The same setlist from the early months why? They can't play other songs ( i like but is the same list since March ! How is possible can't play a older song like Kohoutek,Next , Nickel and Dime ,Lady Luck, La Do Da, Can Do , winds of March ,Patiently ,they have a lot of albums from 1975 to the present this so strange even on the early years with Arnel even played a instrumental jam and the song : The revelation a instrumental from the same name album Revelation on 2008 and on 2011 Eclipse release another instrumental called Venus,Fillmore Boggie on 1999 why they can't do something i guess The feud between Cain and Schon and when both make the Peace maybe Cain put in the table a setlist with his favorite songs and if Neal can't play maybe Jon sued ,so maybe that's the reason is like watch the same concert over and over again this sucks ,Arnel still sing good but why can't change the setlist even

[@DK-gy7ll]

They've been playing basically the same setlist for the past 20 years. There are so many good songs from Raised on Radio, Trial by Fire... heck even their newer albums. And yet they won't play most of it. Just the same ten hits over and over and over...

[@thefonzkiss]

There’s a lot of acoustic guitar in the riff in the first song and no one is playing one onstage. 4:25 you can see exactly what both guitarists are playing and neither is playing the acoustic rhythm part.

[@buttwaggen4201]

Backing tracks 🤮 🤮 🤮

[@symunut9316]

That might be being played by Jason Derlatka on the keyboard. Obviously they have backing vocal tracks, but I'm not sure about instruments. They should be able to cover the songs without instrument tracks.

[@thefonzkiss]

@@symunut9316 The thought did occur to me re: keyboard player. It sounds awfully good to be an emulated acoustic.

[@symunut9316]

@thefonzkiss my Journey tribute band plays that part on keys. If you a few layer keyboard patches, you can fatten the sound up and get it close.

[@chloenkitty]

I was there and they were really good. I mean some of these guys are in their 70s, Arnel is no spring chicken, but he’s doing a great job. And the drummer, deen , is fabulous and should be given a couple more songs to sing. All in all Toto and journey was really good and I’m glad they went. The only thing I didn’t like was at the end of every song they went onto too long with the music. It was like a solo at the end of every song and that got a little annoying. They could’ve added two or three more songs to the set list for the time they played out the music at the end of each song.
