Journey Reviews

Owen from Milwaukee, Wisconsin

TOTO'S SOUND MIX WAS GREAT, JOURNEY'S WASN'T.

Toto started the night off and sounded very tight. Lead singer sounded just like the albums and the guitar sounded beautiful. Everything was super tight. You could hear the distinct separation between the instruments and the mix was on point. I like Toto, but I came here mainly for Journey. Journey did not sound so good. They had great-looking graphics and visual effects but their sound mix was god-awful. I couldn't hear the separation between any of the instruments. The singing was overpowering and often imprecise. It sounded like Arnel was simply yelling a lot of the notes into a mix loaded with reverb, leading to a complete loss of detail. Neal Schon's solos and rhythm guitar playing were too quiet as well, and I often couldn't hear them over the rest of the band. He didn't play that well either, with his solos sounding uninspired and often muddy. I was impressed by Toto but disappointed by Journey. Hopefully they can fix the horrible sound-mix in the future.

HORRIBLE SOUND

I was disappointed in the concert. The sound engineer should be fired. It was the worst sound mixing I’ve ever heard indoors. Singer mic and guitar were either cutting out or too low. It was also too loud. Over 110db peak at my seats. Also don’t understand why the two new guys sang songs. And why was don’t stop believing 3rd in the set? Should have been the encore which they didn’t do.

TOTO WAS AMAZING

Truthfully... Toto had an outstanding performance. Great harmonies, solid instrumentation, excellent overall sound quality... they did not disappoint, and were actually better than expected. Not the case for Journey... the mix was horrible... guitar was muted the entire show... Neil's solos could not be heard - period. Vocals - well, adequate, but nothing worth mentioning. Jonathon Cain was the highpoint... the man can still play. But they really need to fire their soundtrack, assuming the lousy mix wasn't intentional... hiding something perhaps? Moving forward, I'll get my Journey fix when Resurrection is in the area.

STUCK IN THE 80'S

SOUND WAS SO WRONG

My all time favorite 80’s band. I was so excited to share with my daughter. Toto rocked it. Sadly, the sound/microphone/acoustics whatever for Journey was just awful. The music was extremely loud and couldn’t hear the vocals. Hard to enjoy all the great songs. I thought it was the arena but based on the other reviews from around the country it maybe their sound crew. Very disappointing.

NO ENCORE

Concert ok - audience was attracted to the good songs, but the others were not well received. It was obvious. Also, WTF -NO ENCORE So, concert ok, no encore = 2 stars

TOTO WAS 4 STARS; JOURNEY WAS 1 STAR

I was pleasantly surprised at the Toto performance. Song set was great. Band performed great. They really engaged the audience. The guitar solos were amazing and the singers were strong as ever. Journey...on the other hand was a complete disappointment. Lead singer was off key and you couldn't understand his words. I'd compare it to mediocre karaoke. I bought the tickets for Journey...but Toto was the only thing that made it worth a few dollars. I could not recommend people buying tickets for this Journey tour.
