All I can say is Def Leppard was amazing. I have seen Journey before & it was a really good show... BUT NOT THIS TIME!!! The music drowned out the singer. Actually I think he was sick...laryngitis maybe? His voice, when you heard it, was terrible. He took way too many breaks & did not play the full hour and a half. Speaking of which, who EVER HEARD OF “NO ENCORE”??? Sorry Journey, we are through! I wish I could get half of my money back!!!!

Def Leopard put on a great show! They worked as a team and deliverd outstanding performance as a band. Then Neal entered the stage with some other guys. My ear drums still hurting from the overpowering of the lead quitar and keyboard drowning out everything else. There was no balance and the set was very unenjoyable. Some say its their sound guy, i suggest its their biggest EGO NEAL. Neal kept running lead singer off the stage. Not going to let him steal any recognition. It was clearly the Neal show!

On an extremely hot night at Fenway Park, Steve Miller, Journey, and Def Leppard were all fantastic. Unlike previous shows reviewed, all three acts had great sound boards and mixers. Steve struggled a little with his voice at times, but he's almost 80 so I give him a pass. His band was awesome. I was surprised to see mostly bad reviews of Journey in their recent shows, but they were on point tonight, with Arnel hitting all of the high notes, excellent sound throughout, and an enjoyable mix of Neil's (still amazing) guitar solos. They played all of the hits, the crowd sung along, and was very enthusiastic. Any Way You Want It was the pinnacle of the show for me. Def Leppard blew the doors off the park! Highlights included Rock of Ages, Armageddon It, Bringin' On the Heartache, and Photograph. Joe Elliot noted in the middle of their set that he had been fighting a respiratory virus for the past 30 hours and almost cancelled the show, but he was in fine voice and carried on like a champ. He had fantastic backing by his two stellar guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, and Rick Allen was clearly having a great time pounding out the beats with his (one) arm and feet! The mostly acoustic set in the middle of the show seemed to be the place for Joe to regain his voice, which he succeeded in doing. He thanked the crowd for being "special." It was a great night!

Steve Miller and Def Leppard: spectacular: great sound, great interactions with audience.great musical show voice and instrumentally wonderful. Journey: huge disappointment. Everything was turned up to a loudest of loud, too many guitar solos no one wanted to hear. Band and equalizers up so loud it was extremely difficult to even understand the screaming *new lead singer Arnel Pineda. He had a punky awful, trying to hard to be popular stage presence that didn’t work at all. We heard great things about him and it was just awful. I don’t know if he was having an off night, as we had never heard him before, but bring Steve Perry back! Totally understand why Steve wouldn’t want to be around the self indulgent over playing of the guitar solos…annoying. Just sing the songs! And it was embarassingly awful. We left after a few songs because we were afraid our ear drums were going to be damaged between the loud volume of everything on stage and the atrocious singing, I mean yelling .

July 23, 2024: Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia: Super excited to see Steve Miller, Journey and Def Leppard…. Steve miller started promptly at 6, sounded great, musicianship was spot on, really enjoyed his show. Next up Journey. SUPER LOUD, all volumes equalizers up on high, super annoying loud, drown out your singer loud… could barely understand journeys *newish singer that we had heard really great things about. Volume never equalized where you could hear the singer, so of course he needs to scream the lyrics to even barely be heard. Then he kept referring to the concert goers as Phillies .umm no, no baseball today…ughh we walked out after about 4/5 songs. Too loud with ear plugs couldn’t understand the singer at all, his stage presence was like an annoying drugged out punk. Over done. UGHHHH. I’m sorry I spent good money on a journey tshirt. I want my money back. Maybe will use for kindling for a fire… DEF LEPPARD= awesome! Journey stunk like a nasty poop filled baby diaper.
