Been a ton of drama in the Journey camp the last several years, leading to a hiatus this year. The short of it is basically the band are at a crossroads and Neal and Jonathan don't see eye-to-eye on a lot, and so after touring significantly the past decade, they are taking the year off.
Neal, however, when things starting going sour with Jonathan (which they've at least publicly said has been rectified, which I don't believe for a second), was considering going out as "Neal Schon's Journey." That morphed into Neal Schon's Journey Through Time, a benefit show for fire victims last year in San Francisco.
The show featured former Journey keyboardist/singer Gregg Rollie, and former Journey drummer/singer Deen Castronovo, along with Marco Mendoza on bass.
Looking over the setlist, it was 32 songs long, and spanned pretty much everything Journey did through Trial By Fire, including stuff from the first three albums with Rollie.
Well, it went over so well, Neal's taking it on the road this year. I listened to a bit of the show last year, hearing Deen (who honestly, aside from Steve Perry, is the best singer Journey ever had, no offense to Arnel, Gregg, JSS, or Steve Augeri) do "Trial By Fire" with Neal on an acoustic guitar, I immediately got tickets to a show.
I'm anxious to see how this all goes down. Deen is an INCREDIBLE singer. And with Gregg doing the singing for the stuff he was on, and I am sure Neal taking a song or two, Deen is going to sing the majority of the set, which is going to be incredible. I saw him do a lot of lead vocals back in 2006 when Journey toured with JSS as lead singer, and Deen sang three or four songs from the drum kit and was absolutely AMAZING.
Not sure how many Journey fans are on here (I saw an old thread from a long, long time ago), but this really may be worth checking out if it ends up rolling by you this year.
