serious?
these are legends, but not the same band anymore
and my take is they sell mostly half-priced tickets at the Lube when they come
I guess selling $800 tickets to the hard core fans is how they do this
Why don't they just play the anthem and sell $800 ticket

add REO Speedwagon to that bill and now you have an $800/ticket show.

They should just stick an acoustic Beck set on the front and watch the money roll in.

Hot take: Journey is a better band with the Filipino guy as the frontman than with Steve Perry and frontman.

Hotter take. No one has cared about Journey since 1986.

they became popular with a new generation when Don’t stop believing was used in the Sopranos finale; more popular than at any time since 1983.

As far as Pineda vs Perry: regardless of vocal chops people generally prefer the original….you know, the guy who wrote and delivered the song when it impacted them

Lolwut.

Sopranos playing their already extremely well known hit didn't increase any popularity… maybe on iTunes for 48 hrs?

yeah, I don't know if that was the reason
would like to see some data on that, but I doubt this is an accurate take

Generations of Guidos under the age of 20 lives were changed on that fateful day.

Definitely the reason. Suddenly you couldn’t go to a bar without hearing Journey blasting and people singing along.

Don’t Stop Believing has been played at 99% of sporting events over the last 35 years. That’s why Journey is still popular, not the Sopranos.
