Both put on great shows but the sound from Journey was very bad.
from Vancouver, British Columbia
JOURNEY & DEF LEPPARD - VANCOUVER OCT 1ST
Went to hear Journey but was blown away by Def Leppard! Journey - too many Neil
Schon - watch how fast I can play guitar solos - must say hi - lite though was Schon
playing cool solo version of Oh Canada. Definitely on back end of career - a bit pitchy
on the vocals and no interaction other than the occasional shout of "Vancouver'.
Def Leppard = performance and musicianship combined with great audience
interaction ! Everyone up on their feet (maybe the beer and other stimulants had
kicked in by then?) signing along - cleaner sound, tighter and all around a better
show.
John O from Portland, Oregon
FUN!, BUT JOURNEY NEEDS SOME CLARITY IMPROVEMENTS
Love both bands, DL was quite good and clear. Journey has the talent
but overall the music was muddy and overpowered voice. Journey
really needs sound help!! With going though
Carl from Houston, Texas
SOUND OF MUSIC
Journey opened and DL put out the lights.
Journey needs to find someone to fix their sound
issues, the sound was way off and sounded ragged.
Indoor venue, not outdoor arena, somebody figure it
out. It was also like some strange Oprah universe -
'you get a solo, and you get a solo, and you get a
solo, everybody gets a solo!' Result was stops and
starts in the flow of music. Lead guiter screamed at
every opportunity, lots of spotlight time. Show ended
with massive blasts of confetti that took FOREVER to
stop circulating through the air (thanks to the air
conditioning).
Def Leppard followed and rocked the house, Journey
had people waving their hands over their head - DL
had them dancing in the aisles. The music was tight,
flow was spot on. The encore of Pyromania followed
by Photograph put the icing on the cake.
Never underestimate the value of aisle seats!

DEF LEP=HIGH ENERGY, FUN SET. JOURNEY=BAD SOUND, SCRIPTED
Like most reviewers here I was excited to see both bands when they came to Dallas
to play at the American Airlines arena (indoors). Def Leppard came out excited, high
energy and maintained that throughout. VERY appreciative of the fans,
complimented each other within the band (amazing to watch the one-armed
drummer) and clearly were having fun playing for the sold out crowd.
Journey was a distortion nightmare. I love their music and I like the new lead singer
well enough, but it was awful. Neil's guitar droned out everything else and was so
distorted and over-amped that you couldn't make out the notes. Really bad. I
NEVER leave a show early and we bailed after 40 minutes of their walking around
the stage playing unintelligible songs. You'd think they might get this fixed over the
course of a 60-stop tour. Sad.

JOURNEY AND DEF LEPPARD
DEF LEPPARD stole the show. The music was crisp and the light show was awesome. And then came JOURNEY! The stage set was boring, the sound was horrible. It sounded like a Neal only solo show. I paid good money to see two power house bands and only one showed up. I will past on the next JOURNEY concert in the future. I will be first in line next time DEF LEPPARD comes to town! STEVE PERRY, please come back!!!!!!
AJ from Mandeville , Louisiana
DEF LEPPARD A+, JOURNEY D-
I went without any expectations .Def Leppard
started promptly at 730 and rocked a solid
hour and 40 minutes. Sound was clear and Joe
nailed it. Rick S , Phil and Vivian were rocking
professionals and smiled all night. Rick Allen is
so solid and smiled a lot too on the big screen.
30 minutes to change over and the Journey
started. It was a huge embarrassing
disappointment. The sound sucked and
feedback was off and on. The painful endless
Schon guitar solos were look at me filler that
proved without Steve there is no Journey. The
saving grace was drummer Steve Smith who at
times on big video seemed uncomfortable was
the highlight of their set. Arnel was really good
but his volume was drowned out by piano and
Schon. Several people by me left and
commented they came for Journey but couldn’t
take any more. This is a horrible pairing of
bands I thought would work, but when one
gives all and the other hardly attempts it ruins
it. It was almost as if it was a cover band
attempt.
