DEF GREAT JOURNEY SOUND BAD

Both put on great shows but the sound from Journey was very bad.

5 STARS FOR CHP TRK AND D LEP, , WHAT HAPPENED TO JOURNEY?

I had a blast at Fenway Way park 2018 Aug. 10,11,12. Seeing all performers on the three nights Peter Wolf, Jimmy Buffett, Billy Joel, Cheap Trick, Def Leppard and Journey. I was most excited about seeing Journey for the second time since seeing them in Aug 2017 in Laconia NH. I always enjoyed their music and could not believe how good they sounded in the smaller NH amphitheater. Arnel Pineda was amazing as was all bandmates. The sound mix was perfect and sounded like the recordings. Fenway Park has a perfect speaker / sound system and every show is right on with the quality of instrument mixing and crystal clear sound. I had a good seat about twenty rows off the field opposite the stage. Cheap Trick and Def Leppard were amazing, then Journey started their set. I was in total shock of the total distortion coming out of all the speakers. The Bass guitar and Bass Drums completely dominated the speakers and sounded like booming thunder against the ears.

DEF LEPPARD MADE THE SHOW

Def Leppard = amazing experience! Feels like you are back in the 80's. It's cool to experience a band that is still together and sounding the same as they did from my old vinyl albums. Love them! Journey, the music drowned out the singer. They did not have the same nostalgia that Def Leppard had. I miss Steve Perry!! The new guy, he's good, but it felt like watching a cover band.

DEF LEPPARD HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK!!!

We just had the pleasure of seeing the Def Leppard/Journey concert on July 19th in Lincoln, NE. I'll tell you what....Def Leppard has to be, hands down, the BEST concert I've ever been to!! They sounded like they did 30+ years ago, and the entertainment value was PRICELESS!! However, Journey was the BIGGEST disappointment EVER :( I grew up listening to Journey and l am still a HUGE fan of Journey's music w/Steve Perry. We felt that this concert was "the Neal Schon show", not the Journey that we had grown up loving. Nothing at all against Arnel Pineda, but he is very karaoke like! I'm so sad that I left there feeling like I wasted my time sitting through the rest of the show.

DEF LEPPARD FANTASTIC

Def Leppard gets 5 stars! Simply amazing! Journey not so much. Too many solos and a few mediocre songs. Fans want to hear the hits! Play them! I love Journey and I know they’re all great musicians BUT they’re losing fans if they don’t change the setlist. They did not sound as crisp as Def Leppard. Disappointing indeed.

JOURNEY. DL

DL was amazing tonight at the Forum but we went to see Journey who SUCKED! We saw them in Chula Vista a few years ago and they were amazing! Tonight in L.A. it was so bad people left really early. The sound was distorted for Journey but not DL.. Neal and his attempt to overshadow Arnel was pathetic, childish, narcissistic. Good for you Arnel to leave the stage during all those long boring distorted guitar solo rifts of Neal’s. We left too. Be proud of your solo album, Arnel. You rock!

JOURNEY AND DEF LEPARD

Journey is my all time favorite and I have been to four of their concerts in the past six years. Every time I’ve gone it has been a real treat. This past Saturday at the Gorge in Washington was just a mess. The sound was terrible. Arnel was off key and could not be heard over the high bass and windy noise of the guitars. The long solos were too much - way too long. There were not enough of the classic songs. They weren’t very personable to the audience. It was embarrassing and sad to see so many people leave early. Def Lepard on the other hand was a big surprise to me. I didn’t think I’d like their show as much as I did. Their sound system was great and they were engaging. The audience was very much into their performance. It was a lot of money for only half a concert.
