I went to one of their concerts for the first time a couple of weeks ago! It was always a dream of mine to do so. I grew up with them due to my mom and uncle being fans! So I knew a fair amount of songs (around 10 of the 28 they played) and I’d say that they were evenly spread through the setlist but during their concert there was absolutely no energy! Like throughout the entire concert except for the final 20mins and Ask the Lonely at the beginning! The rest it was a sold out concert with no energy from the crowd! Like Arnel even started walking through the crowd to try and hype them up and nothing! No response until their most famous songs that were played at the final 20 mins!
I was reading online that its supposedly common on their concerts but to me it felt lackluster and felt slightly disappointed! I love Journey and was so excited but came out drained! So my question is: were their shows like this always or how have they changed throughout their times? Would love to read positive or negative stories about your experiences.
