Def Leppard and Journey - Best Combo!

5/5
Sheiryll C from Houston, Texas
24th September 2018

These are my 2 favorite bands of all times and I truly enjoyed the concert. I’m not sure what sound issues everyone else in other cities/venues are talking about because we didn’t have it here in Houston. Def Leppard opened and they were so awesome that I was super pumped! Their visuals and energy were electrifying!!! Journey’s visual and lighting effects weren’t up to par with Def Leppard’s in my opinion but still very much enjoyed the show. Steve Smith had a sick drum solo! Arnel Pineda is definitely no Steve Perry but the man is talented and can belt those notes like no other. Unless you can sing like that, then u have no right calling it karaoke which I read on some of the reviews. My only criticism is I wish Journey opened for us on Saturday and Def Leppard closed. Either that or Journey needed to step up their lighting and visual effects.

Def Leppard Awesome

Five stars for Def Leppard only. They were awesome. Journey not so much. I got tired of hearing so many guitar solos. I was disappointed that Def Leppard did not close the Saturday night show in Houston. Would definitely see Def Leppard again but not Journey

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

They All Brought The Goods: Steve Miller, Journey, and Def Leppard

5/5

On an extremely hot night at Fenway Park, Steve Miller, Journey, and Def Leppard were all fantastic. Unlike previous shows reviewed, all three acts had great sound boards and mixers. Steve struggled a little with his voice at times, but he's almost 80 so I give him a pass. His band was awesome. I was surprised to see mostly bad reviews of Journey in their recent shows, but they were on point tonight, with Arnel hitting all of the high notes, excellent sound throughout, and an enjoyable mix of Neil's (still amazing) guitar solos. They played all of the hits, the crowd sung along, and was very enthusiastic. Any Way You Want It was the pinnacle of the show for me. Def Leppard blew the doors off the park! Highlights included Rock of Ages, Armageddon It, Bringin' On the Heartache, and Photograph. Joe Elliot noted in the middle of their set that he had been fighting a respiratory virus for the past 30 hours and almost cancelled the show, but he was in fine voice and carried on like a champ. He had fantastic backing by his two stellar guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, and Rick Allen was clearly having a great time pounding out the beats with his (one) arm and feet! The mostly acoustic set in the middle of the show seemed to be the place for Joe to regain his voice, which he succeeded in doing. He thanked the crowd for being "special." It was a great night!

Steve Miller and Def Leppard: spectacular: great sound, great interactions with audience.great musical show voice and instrumentally wonderful. Journey: huge disappointment. Everything was turned up to a loudest of loud, too many guitar solos no one wanted to hear. Band and equalizers up so loud it was extremely difficult to even understand the screaming *new lead singer Arnel Pineda. He had a punky awful, trying to hard to be popular stage presence that didn’t work at all. We heard great things about him and it was just awful. I don’t know if he was having an off night, as we had never heard him before, but bring Steve Perry back! Totally understand why Steve wouldn’t want to be around the self indulgent over playing of the guitar solos…annoying. Just sing the songs! And it was embarassingly awful. We left after a few songs because we were afraid our ear drums were going to be damaged between the loud volume of everything on stage and the atrocious singing, I mean yelling .

Steve Miller and Def Leppard =awesome,;Journey: AWFUL

July 23, 2024: Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia: Super excited to see Steve Miller, Journey and Def Leppard…. Steve miller started promptly at 6, sounded great, musicianship was spot on, really enjoyed his show. Next up Journey. SUPER LOUD, all volumes equalizers up on high, super annoying loud, drown out your singer loud… could barely understand journeys *newish singer that we had heard really great things about. Volume never equalized where you could hear the singer, so of course he needs to scream the lyrics to even barely be heard. Then he kept referring to the concert goers as Phillies .umm no, no baseball today…ughh we walked out after about 4/5 songs. Too loud with ear plugs couldn’t understand the singer at all, his stage presence was like an annoying drugged out punk. Over done. UGHHHH. I’m sorry I spent good money on a journey tshirt. I want my money back. Maybe will use for kindling for a fire… DEF LEPPARD= awesome! Journey stunk like a nasty poop filled baby diaper.
