Journey.....

was basically amazing. After watching Batman Begins, Chad and I ate at Cracker Barrel, and then hit the road towards Nashville. We parked, went in, showed the weird guy our tickets, and headed up to find our seats.

But we totally couldn’t. We switched rows THREE TIMES before we finally found (what we think were) our seats.

Cheap Trick came out first. They were okay. I only recognized a few of their songs; they played the theme from “That 70’s Show” and Surrender, but other than that, they were pretty foreign.

And then (finally) JOURNEY!

They played every song I hoped they would, and more. Faithfully and Don’t Stop Believing were (of course) my favorites, but all of them were very well done. They played two new songs from their Revelations CD; the first one (I think it was called After All These Years) was incredible. Although I love Steve Perry, the new singer is very talented, and it’s hard to tell the difference between new and old. Even the drummer sang one of the songs, and Chad remarked it must be “everyone sing like Steve Perry day.”

We took both videos and pictures. Chad’s videos are better than mine, but I took better pictures than him. See Facebook for my stuff.

We got home earlier than expected, but the ringing in our ears from the uber-huge speakers called for us to cut the night short. I headed home and collapsed on the bed. Pretty sure I dreamed about the concert, too...haha!

    Journey was a big part of my "youth." Loved their music (who didn't?) Glad you had an awesome time.

    Man, I'm so glad that there is someone else my age who not only knows of, but also appreciates Journey!
