Journey, Foreigner and Styx
Discussion
I went to see them last night in Glasgow ... anyone else caught this show on their UK tour?
Missed the start of Styx's set, and don't really know any of their songs, so hard to tell, but they sounded OK.
Foreigner were the big surprise ... they were excellent and stole the show from Journey. I had never seen them before, and wouldn't call myself a big Foreigner fan, although I have always liked new vocalist Kelly Hansen since his Hurricane days.
This was the third time I've seen Journey in the last few years, each time with a different singer! I'm a long time Journey fan, but they were a disappointment - played too many songs of the new album, which killed the momentum of the set, and the guitar overpowered Arnel's vocals in the mix. Arnel has a good voice, but is not a great frontman.
