JOURNEY AT AMERANT

Follow up to earlier review, meant section 107, not 7.

TOTO 4 STAR, JOURNEY 1 STAR

Toto started the night sounding great. Was looking forward to Journey and was totally disappointed. It is clear Schon is running the show. The mixing was focus on hearing the musicians (especially Schon) at the expense of the vocals. Schon is very talented, but it seems he was featured in every song. Didn’t pay to see a Schon concert.

POOR SOUND QUALITY

The ToTo / Journey concert had the worst sound mix!! I was sitting in the 206 level with my husband on 2/23/22 and for the price we paid for tickets ,the sound quality should have been much better!!!! We could not even hear what the singers were singing!!!! Does NO ONE do a sound check anymore!

HORRIBLE - SAVE YOUR MONEY AND LISTEN TO CD'S!

Let me start by saying even though we are Journey fans since the early 80's, we originally bought these tickets to see Billy Idol; with that said, we still came and what a mistake! Neil Schon, who isn't even close to other guitar heros is obviously a narcissist as this show is all about is mediocre guitar playing. Even the newish singer knows this as he placates to Neil continually so he too isn't fired from the band like everybody else! The singer vocals are close to Steve Perry except he isn't Steve! His playing to the crowd was somewhere between awkward and clumsy. And then there is the song set which was horrible - I didn't recognize 5 songs (must be new) and then from their rich play list, they chose very mediocre songs a best. Going back to Neil Schon; this is obvious his attempt at staying relevant with a bunch of subservient paying hommage to Neil so they can still play in front of an audience. Save yourself time and money and get out you Captured or Escape CD's and you will enjoy it much better. Finally, how dare Neil give a shout out to Steve Perry prior to playing "Lights" after you have done him so wrong!

JOURNEY

So I got tickets because I wanted to see Billy Idol found out he wasnt going to be there teied to get avrefund no go decided to make the best of it What a joke The band was so loud it drowned out the singer felt bad for him so many people left early I stayed till almost the end. What a waste of money will never out myself through that again. Not interested in guitar solos

DISSAPPOINTED

Musicians were too loud and overpowering. Couldnt hear singer at all. We had to leave half way through because it was too loud and not enjoyable.
