For me that's anything between '78 and '81...I saw them at Andrew's Amphitheater in '78...and to borrow a topic from another thread, it was the best concert I've ever seen in my life. Amazingly so, because it was outdoors, and it's hard to get great sound outdoors. They were on fucken FIRE and it sounded amazing.

My love of Journey is really because of Neal Schon's guitar playing. I used to have tapes of old Santana with Schon on there. I glad he left and did Journey. Neal and Steve Lukather were old 80s guitar players I liked. Once when Journey was going to come to Hawaii with the other replacement Steve Augeri? I tried to get an old crush of mine from HS to go with me. She was all gung ho about it. Almost snagged her too, but I didn't know she married her dumb worthless HS love. So I just canned the whole thing altogether. Now everybody's on the Journey train again, but man don't know why . . I just can't get into em now. I guess too much overexposure for me.

During the same era I happened to catch Foreigner and Heart at the Blaisdell (known as HIC at the time)...I wanted to bang Nancy Wilson then, and I want to bang her now.   You have ignored this user.

MOB U2 Member Since: 9/3/11 Posts: 377	Moke, what do you prefer to listen to - CD's or old tapes/vinyl of Journey? I'm not an anti-digital person, but there are certain things (and not just b/c of nostalgia), that I prefer (b/c of that warm, compressed sound) to be on analog recordings. My old KISS, Thin Lizzy, and Judas Priests albums I prefer on tapes/vinyl. You have ignored this user.

MOB you bring up a sore topic with me...I think as time marches on, progress should...progress. Technology should keep getting better. But with music and sound reproduction this is not the case. It keeps going backwards. The consistency and clarity of digital is fine, but much of what's there in analog sound is missing, and yes, much of it is in the punch low end and warmth. They make great subs and woofers these days, so everyone "thinks" everything sounds just fine. But it doesn't. First CD's came out and they lacked. And now it's degraded to MP3 and worse, and yet people are totally used to it. It's completely acceptable for the masses now. *cries* You have ignored this user.

Moke 8 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 32523	Also from that same summer...I was 14 and what a time. I watched REO Speedwagon develop sunburn before my very eyes at the amphitheater. Each of the amphitheater shows were 4 bucks and general seating, so I'd show up a little early and be right up front. You have ignored this user.

conviser 1 Member Since: 6/21/05 Posts: 81	GREAT photos! Crazy that Schon joined Santana at AGE 15, in the free-wheeling late 1960s. And he's been with major rock bands ever since. Wonder if he's bested Wilt Chamberlain in number of conquests. And yeah, he's been great with the guitar as well. I saw REO in concert last year, at the Blaisdell. Kevin Cronin seems a bit creepy these days. You have ignored this user.
