I caught the end of Journey’s peak. Best hits and World premier Videos on MTV. That kind of thing.
But just heard them do Faithfully in the shower*. Loud. Sounded great.
Not stadium crowds, but I think they did a stadium tour at some point b4 my time.
*Me, not them or me and them and not a person named Faith. harharhar
Like many mediocre artists, they werre pretty big in their time.
Journey, Foreigner and Europe.
Planning their megatour in the Philippines as we speak.
I think a repost is in order.
Yes.
When I was growing up, they were massive. White South Africans had a penchant for soft rock and AOR.
Journey, Asia, Boston, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Chicago, Toto, Dr Hook, Bryan Adams, etc.
Totally didn’t know TOTO was performing in TAipei till too late to get tickets. Then totally pissed off that they performed at the FARMHOUSE after their show and i missed that too.
double dang
Lucky you.
Well I didn’t really missed NOT going to Air Supply the few times they came round to Taipei. NOt that I don’t like them, but not enough to attend a concert
throwing in a Bryan Adams fav of mine.
Of all that dreck, I like Bryan Adams the most.
Air Supply have done Taiwan so many times. Why are they so popular here?
EDIT: They first did a gig here in '83. That’s why they’re popular.
Journey was huge in the Midwest when I was growing up. They had the formula down: love songs for the girls, hard rock for the boys, long hair, high voices. It was about this time I was getting into Zeppelin. I guess I wasn’t a total idiot in my youth.
soapy , easy to understand lyrics, easy listening. they were pretty good just over exposed.
They are wank
Journey was really all about Steve Perry. They they were able to replace him with a philippino who sang pretty much the same.
Yeah, even if one doesn’t like Journey, I don’t think it’s fair to describe Steve Perry as mediocre. He had a pretty unique voice.
Who said he was mediocre ?
top the thread.
