I saw Journey two years ago with the new Steve Perry clone (Steve Augeri, if memory serves), and it was a tolerable show - basically a top-40 sing-a-long. Strangely, the most annoying part of the show was Neil Schon's solo bit, which was the most horrid bucket of wank-guitar-spooge I've ever heard. Most of his involvement with the tunes was similar, as though he were parodying the whole event. I was hoping for something cool, dare I say using the EDP, but no such luck... Of course, it was at a State Fair and I was having a migraine, so my perceptions may have been clouded by bright lights, loud music, the local television news team dancing in haltingly jerky styles next to me, and the smell of fried-everything-on-a-stick. He is an EDP owner/user, right? -K -----Original Message----- From: Stephen P.

Was that somewhere round 76-77 by any chance? I went to see Journey with Starcastle opening up for them at the old Palladium in NYC in 77 - going mainly for Starcastle actually (great light show, by the way) - and walked out after 20 minutes of Journey's set. It was a roar that changed pitch, and not much else. I remember thinking of their set as not much more than sonic masturbation. I liked Mouse/Griffin's covers though. Hell, in comparison, I enjoyed DNA more. :) Stephen P.
