The Journey is an iconic American Rock Band that has existed for over fifty years and still rocks. The Journey Freedom Tour 2022 was held at Golden 1 Center Sacramento, California on April 1st 2022. The band consists of Arnel Pineda as the lead vocalist, Jonathan Cain as keyboardist/vocalist, guitarist/vocalist Neal Schon, Jason Derlatka, and Deen Castronovo as the drummer/vocalist. The band performed a Set List containing a catalog of global chart-topping hits like “Only the Young”, “Stone in Love” “Don’t Stop Believin’” and “Lights” among amazing covers.
The finest part of the concert was from 26:33 which had a very intense and passionate rendition. Arnel Pineda at age 55 keeps rocking and hitting the high notes and bringing the entire band very successfully all through their live concert tour. His mastery of the songs is impeccable and shows passion while doing live concerts. His vocal versatility, talent, and high energy fuel the Journey Concert admirable after such many years. Even after having periodic vocal struggles, he has become a very good, fun, engaging frontman. His vocal improvement can be attributed to him learning relaxing techniques so he can hit the high notes.
Their talented guitarist Neal Schon was captivating on the guitar even dropping some HSAS during the concert. The audience responded with an amazing resurgence. Jason’s voice on Suzanne was perfectly pitched and inviting. Simply put, I love this band, great songs, awesome versatility with Dean at the drums, Neal, Jonathon, and the new members. The journey is so complete with their new bass player and keyboard player and both singers plus a soundman make them a band to reckon with.What a great concert, entertaining, soulful, and energetic music.
