This is a good double bill. It'll be a night full of hits (and Neal Schon overplaying each and every open second of each and every hit song. Lol) I'd love to see the Doobies. For some reason they're one of those bands I've always liked,but never got around to seeing.

Now, Let me be the first to wish everybody here a Happy Thanksgiving. May your drinks be cold and your food (and music) hot,tasty,and plentiful. You folks rock!

[Bob]

Indeed, Gary -- Schon does overplay every second of every song, but despite that, the band sounds great. I saw them last year with Steve Miller and Tower of Power. San Diego was the opening night of the tour, and this year we're the closing night of the tour. This should be a great night of music. And, of course, a very happy Thanksgiving to all of the wonderful people who make this site a must-visit for me on a daily basis.

[Dj]

This would be a really fun show to see. If the prices are right I'll definitely go. If not I'll save for better Sabbath tickets. Happy thanksgiving all!!!!

[Metalboy!]

Hey, more power to Schon overplayin'! Otherwise, Journey's AOR cheese would be as boring as it's always been...

Happy Metal Thanksgiving! 🤘🏻⚡️🦃⚡️🤘🏻

[Ace Steele]

...and, the return of drummer Steve Smith.

[Gary]

I thought that was him in the photo Ace! They're inching closer to the original lineup. Need Greg Rollie and Mr Perry to jump on for a tour now..... Lol

[Bob]

Definitely nice to have Steve Smith back in the fold, but at the risk of being called a nit-picker, wasn't Aynsley Dunbar Journey's original drummer?
