IT WASN'T EXACTLY THE MOTHERS DAY GIFT I EXPECTED!
My husband and I have always been music fans! Him being a bass player, we travel alot to concerts and live music events, We are a stereo, not a TV family. So I shouldn't have been surprised when my husband told me about my (our) Mothers Day Gift! lol
We are both 80s babies, and love the classic rock, and pop of that era. Journey is one of America's favorite bands of all time! When Steve Perry left, we were afraid it was an end to an era. But, thank God, that didn't happen.
If you all follow the story, Neil Schon found Arnel Pineda on You-Tube! He sounds, and even LOOKS like Steve Perry. The band was named Journey through a radio contest in their native San Fransisco, by their FANS! They have always been one of my favorite bands, and I feel like I get another chance to see them. The first chance was missed!
A group of family & friends went to Memphis in May, years ago to see the original band. The sun was shining, and all was good. Then, out of nowhere...THE BIGGEST MONSOON THUNDERSTORM fell from the clouds!! OMG! We all scattered! Running frantically to find our shuttle stop, trying to get back to hotel! We lost my sister, and her boyfriend! Thankfully they remembered the right hotel! We were soaked, cold, scraed, & crying! Finally found the shuttle to hotel, and hit our beds, thinking "there's NO WAY they can play tonight!"....Well we were wrong!
They played at 1:30 in the morning after the storm stopped, so the Memphis in May Producers didn't have to refund thousands of tickets! I was floored! Hundreds of $$$$ in tickets, hotel costs, gas & driving for nothing! RRR!
Needless to say, we missed our chance back then. It has come full circle, so we are excited to see Journey finally! (If another mishap don't happen?) The fact they are touring with Def Leppard is AMAZING! They are a true ROCK BAND! This will definitely be the CONCERT OF THE YEAR!
We plan to go LIVE on Facebook/Instagram...so BE WATCHING SATURDAY JULY 7TH, 2018!
CATCH SNIPPETS OF CONCERT FOOTAGE!
TILL THEN, ROCK ON!
