classic rock show

night ranger - hmmm i didn't know much of their music so i don't really have a lot to say about them.  i will say that they were the right band for the job to open up the show.

foreigner - before they hit the stage several people asked me what songs foreigner sang and i said cold as ice or i want to know what love is.  they looked at me as if i was speaking a foreign language.  i told them not to worry and once they heard a few songs they would think oh i know that song.. naturally i was correct.  i'll admit that i was more excited to see foreigner than i was to see journey and thankfully they did not disappoint.  in fact they far exceeded my expectations for the evening.  their excitement and passion for their music radiated in each of us who were in attendance and i believe that the rest of the audience would agree that foreigner should have been the show closer over journey!

journey - to say the least i was astonished at the poor performance by journey.  yes i knew before and i understood that it's not the original singer.  maybe it was the fact that they preformed after the highly energetic foreigner but still you would think journey could give us a little more than an above average karaoke concert performance.  even if i wasn't impressed by them it was still fun to sing along to all their great hits.
