DEF GREAT JOURNEY SOUND BAD

Both put on great shows but the sound from Journey was very bad.

4.0 star rating from Vancouver, British Columbia

JOURNEY & DEF LEPPARD - VANCOUVER OCT 1ST

Went to hear Journey but was blown away by Def Leppard! Journey - too many Neil Schon - watch how fast I can play guitar solos - must say hi - lite though was Schon playing cool solo version of Oh Canada. Definitely on back end of career - a bit pitchy on the vocals and no interaction other than the occasional shout of "Vancouver'. Def Leppard = performance and musicianship combined with great audience interaction ! Everyone up on their feet (maybe the beer and other stimulants had kicked in by then?) signing along - cleaner sound, tighter and all around a better show.

FUN!, BUT JOURNEY NEEDS SOME CLARITY IMPROVEMENTS

Love both bands, DL was quite good and clear. Journey has the talent but overall the music was muddy and overpowered voice. Journey really needs sound help!! With going though

SOUND OF MUSIC

Journey opened and DL put out the lights. Journey needs to find someone to fix their sound issues, the sound was way off and sounded ragged. Indoor venue, not outdoor arena, somebody figure it out. It was also like some strange Oprah universe - 'you get a solo, and you get a solo, and you get a solo, everybody gets a solo!' Result was stops and starts in the flow of music. Lead guiter screamed at every opportunity, lots of spotlight time. Show ended with massive blasts of confetti that took FOREVER to stop circulating through the air (thanks to the air conditioning). Def Leppard followed and rocked the house, Journey had people waving their hands over their head - DL had them dancing in the aisles. The music was tight, flow was spot on. The encore of Pyromania followed by Photograph put the icing on the cake. Never underestimate the value of aisle seats!

DEF LEP=HIGH ENERGY, FUN SET. JOURNEY=BAD SOUND, SCRIPTED

Like most reviewers here I was excited to see both bands when they came to Dallas to play at the American Airlines arena (indoors). Def Leppard came out excited, high energy and maintained that throughout. VERY appreciative of the fans, complimented each other within the band (amazing to watch the one-armed drummer) and clearly were having fun playing for the sold out crowd. Journey was a distortion nightmare. I love their music and I like the new lead singer well enough, but it was awful. Neil's guitar droned out everything else and was so distorted and over-amped that you couldn't make out the notes. Really bad. I NEVER leave a show early and we bailed after 40 minutes of their walking around the stage playing unintelligible songs. You'd think they might get this fixed over the course of a 60-stop tour. Sad.

JOURNEY AND DEF LEPPARD

DEF LEPPARD stole the show. The music was crisp and the light show was awesome. And then came JOURNEY! The stage set was boring, the sound was horrible. It sounded like a Neal only solo show. I paid good money to see two power house bands and only one showed up. I will past on the next JOURNEY concert in the future. I will be first in line next time DEF LEPPARD comes to town! STEVE PERRY, please come back!!!!!!

DEF LEPPARD A+, JOURNEY D-

I went without any expectations .Def Leppard started promptly at 730 and rocked a solid hour and 40 minutes. Sound was clear and Joe nailed it. Rick S , Phil and Vivian were rocking professionals and smiled all night. Rick Allen is so solid and smiled a lot too on the big screen. 30 minutes to change over and the Journey started. It was a huge embarrassing disappointment. The sound sucked and feedback was off and on. The painful endless Schon guitar solos were look at me filler that proved without Steve there is no Journey. The saving grace was drummer Steve Smith who at times on big video seemed uncomfortable was the highlight of their set. Arnel was really good but his volume was drowned out by piano and Schon. Several people by me left and commented they came for Journey but couldn’t take any more. This is a horrible pairing of bands I thought would work, but when one gives all and the other hardly attempts it ruins it. It was almost as if it was a cover band attempt.
