I saw Journey in concert last night!  It was a dual concert with the Steve Miller Band.

First off, both acts sounded incredible.  Steve Miller's voice still sounds amazing, and Arnel Pineda sounds EXACTLY like Steve Perry to the point where it's actually very scary.

You know, now that I think about it... I think Arnel is better than Steve Perry.

Steve Miller Band

My favorite song the Steve Miller Band did was, of course, "Abracadabra."  I think it's such a classic tune and it is one of their biggest hits.

We've always liked Journey in my house, but my dad got really into their music when, if you remember, he talked with the pianist and songwriter for the band, Jonathan Cain (click the photo below to read the post).

So the band sounded remarkable.  Neal Schon performed a breathtaking solo of "The Star-Spangled Banner" that was pretty epic.  If you asked me which song I liked the most last night, I may go with "Faithfully" because that is my favorite song of theirs.

Or maybe I'd say "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)."

But I also like "Any Way You Want It."

I am indecisive.

Journey vs. Rascal Flatts

There was this show my dad recorded on CMT called Crossroads.  My dad recorded the episode because we love Journey (one of my May posts explains why).  Well, Journey and the country band Rascal Flatts sound flawless together.  Sometimes an unexpected mix of voices and instruments can sound a little messy, but I am telling you that the collaboration was put together perfectly.

The two groups performed Journey hits like "Separate Ways," "Faithfully," and "Don't Stop Believin'," and Rascal Flatts hits like "Life Is a Highway," "What Hurts the Most," and "Bless the Broken Road."

If you see this show or this specific episode on, I suggest you watch it.  I know I always say "watch this" or "listen to this," but that's only because everything I blog about is worthy of your attention.  I would never make you listen to something that doesn't deserve to be listened to!
