Journey and Def Leppard Reviews

Chris from Dallas, Texas

FIVE STARS FOR DEF LEPPARD, JOURNEY BARELY REGISTERED.

First time to see both bands. Def Leppard opened and raised the bar way high and Journey never came close. joe from Def Leppard was sounding great and the band was tight. It was well choreographed and entertaining. Journey on the other hand was like seeing the Neal Schon solo show and a his supporting cast. The music was decent and chock full of the hits everyone knows, but Neal's look at me act ran old really quick. It fell flat in my book. The AAC was a good site. Had seats on the first row of the upper deck and the sight lines were just right.

MAYBE SOMEWHERE ELSE

Having lived in SF almost 15 years and never been to a concert at att park, I thought this might be a fun show. We had okay seats on the lower side of the stage which would’ve been fine had they not boxed the stage so that we saw very little of anything except a screen and 20% of the stage. The sound for both bands was bad. DL’s mix got better after 5 or 6 songs, but the line array for side fill wasn’t very good, and the mix was just okay. Still enjoyed seeing them play live, and would probably go again if at a different venue. The lighting guy is lazy, and the whole laser special was useless in outdoor venue with no fog. Journey’s mix was even worse and we left after a few songs.

THE JOURNEY TO DEFNESS

I would hire a better sound crew or at least hire the sound crew from Foo Fighters tour as consultants. BTW, Foo Fighters sounded amazing in SAP Center. Any who, the opening act, Foreigner actually sounded good despite the 6pm-ish start with dusk looming near. DEF LEPPARD runs out on the stage, does their intro, then silence and runs back off stage. Oops. Was that a foretelling of things to come? I would say that Joe Elliot did his best to keep the energy going, but the sound issues took away from the band's performance. The hits were as I remembered them, but the distortion in the sound at various key points of their set was baffling. And then we move onto JOURNEY. The sound issues continued, but at least Arnel Pineda's voice held for the hits. If the sound crew had resolved most of the mixing issues, then I feel it would have been a magical night. ATT park is an amazing venue to experience a concert even at a brisk 55 degrees :)

DOOBIES: GOOD DL AND JOURNEY TERRIBLE

I have to say that this was the worst concert I have ever been to. We went the very night before to see the Eagles and had a fantastic time, probably one of the best concerts I've ever seen. The sound was completely off for both DL and Journey. The Doobie Brothers seemed to have better sound, not sure why. We left before Journey even finished. I was very disappointed. The sound was at its best OUTSIDE of the ballpak.

JOURNEY JUST SAD

Like other reviews, def l rocked it! Journey- so sad. All reviews are true. I was there. Looks like Journey is on their way out. Sound was so distorted, couldn’t tell what song was playing unless you really concentrated to hear it and we have the songs memorized like everyone else. Still love Journey- just sad.

JOURNEY'S SOUND TERRIBLE/DEF LEPPARD DELIVERED

Journey's sounds was muffled, Arnel was hard to hear, and acoustics were terrible. After all the negative reviews with this tour, I can't believe they haven't fixed it. It's wrong to charge $$$ for tickets and not deliver on one basic element - sound. I WiLL NEVER attend another Journey concert. Def Leppard delivered and were very entertaining. We watched from nosebleed seats at Moda in Portland and some jerks in front of us stood the entire concert. Their seats had a rail in front of them, so they felt supported as they stood the entire time. One song or two songs...ya, sure okay...I get it. You're inspired and want to stand. However, when you don't feel stable being up that high and don't have that guard in front of you, standing to sway one or two inches doesn't feel safe. Have some common courtesy and sit in between a few songs. Security wouldn't make them sit, but I will admit it was entertaining to watch people throw things at the backs of their heads.

A.T & T. PARK CONCERT

D.L. was excellent. Mick and Company were solid. Journey however was not good even a little. The lead singer has done a dis service to the lyrics and nuances of said lyrics that we all know by heart. Any variance and we know we are watching and expensive Karaoke band. Then the overall sound issues! Where do i start? It was just bad.
