Journey and Def Leppard Reviews

First timer from Houston, Texas

JOURNEY/DEF HOUSTON TX

the five stars are for def leppard. i had never been to a concert before but grew up hearing both these bands. i was amazed by excitement and energy def leppard brought to the stage. between the band and the audience, we cracked a hole in the roof! it was a FANTASTIC show omg they are true entertainers. cool to see how many parents took their kids to share the music we grew up with...now, sad to say i may have "stopped believing," Journey was hard to endure. there was so much ego up their from neal ,poor pineda didn't stand a chance, he might have done ok. steve the drummer did outshine them all with his drum solo (even when he almost popped his face with a drumstick, nice recovery) but he wasn't able to carry the whole set. Let's just say when DL opened the show, it was jumpin it was a sold out show not an empty seat in the house, but by the 2nd song of journeys set , i could have walked up to center stage. They know how to clear a room faster than a brussel sprout fart! smh

WHERE WAS THE SOUND CREW??

Def Leopard : amazing as always. Journey: Who knows? The sound mix was the WORST I've ever heard. All bass and distortion. It was painful and I left. They need a new sound crew. I feel so bad for them. They clearly had no idea.

THE JOURNEY IS OVER FOR JOURNEY

Journey should have opened for Cheap Trick and Def Leppard or better just stayed home. I would have been happy with the other 2 bands. Pretty sad to pay that much for tickets and get that crap! Def Leppard saved the night they were awesome! I saw Journey 40 yrs ago in Tampa and they were blown off stage that night too by Van Halen.

THE SOUND ALL EVENING WAS TERRIBLE!

I love the music played by Def Leopard, but the sound at this venue is terrible. I have been there before for other concerts and it was the same terrible noise. I have seen many concerts and at minimum Def Leopard at 15 times...this was the only one that I was disappointed with...and it was because of the sound. They are much better heard at smaller venues. Book more nights at smaller venues..it will sell out still. Isn't it suppose to be about the music and the fans? Rock and Roll lives...but we like what we like...or we make the party elsewhere and personal. Hope you figure it out and book a better venue next time. I hope someone close to band reads this. You guys are great..now stay great and pick better venues in Toronto in the future. Outdoors is always a great option.

DEF LEPPARD A+, JOURNEY D-

I went without any expectations .Def Leppard started promptly at 730 and rocked a solid hour and 40 minutes. Sound was clear and Joe nailed it. Rick S , Phil and Vivian were rocking professionals and smiled all night. Rick Allen is so solid and smiled a lot too on the big screen. 30 minutes to change over and the Journey started. It was a huge embarrassing disappointment. The sound sucked and feedback was off and on. The painful endless Schon guitar solos were look at me filler that proved without Steve there is no Journey. The saving grace was drummer Steve Smith who at times on big video seemed uncomfortable was the highlight of their set. Arnel was really good but his volume was drowned out by piano and Schon. Several people by me left and commented they came for Journey but couldn’t take any more. This is a horrible pairing of bands I thought would work, but when one gives all and the other hardly attempts it ruins it. It was almost as if it was a cover band attempt.

DEF LEPPARD'S SHOW BETTER THAN JOURNEY

Def Leppard was great - Journey not so much. They might as well change the name of the band to the Neal Schon Band. Overbearing guitar drowning out Arnel on every song then not one but two Neal Schon solos, talk about ego... As of two guitar solos were not enough, there was a Jonathan Cain solo on piano and also a Steve Smith drum solo. The crowd was obviously not interested in these, as each time there was solo, there was a mad dash to the concourse. Def Leppard kept the concert from being a bid dud. I don't know if they switch the order in which they play from city to city, but Journey should play first and let Def Leppard close the show. I rated the overall show a 5 solely on Def Leppard's performance.
