CONCERT REVIEW: JOURNEY & TOTO Take Denver On A Trip Down Rock N’ Roll History (April 11th, 2022)

Monday night at Denver’s Ball Arena felt like taking a big step back in time…and it felt good to me and nearly 20,000 others in attendance. The double bill of Toto and Journey was a smart pairing—two enduring arena rock bands that are both led by masterful, seasoned guitar players, feature a lineup with some unfamiliar faces, and sport a set-list packed with irresistible sing-along anthems, well known catchy rockers and beloved, and soaring ballads.

The nearly sold-out arena was packed to the rafters with nostalgic concertgoers who mostly left their masks behind to bask in the glory of a big night out like they relished in the years before COVID changed our sense of normal. They came to hear the hits from two radio friendly classic rock stalwarts…and they got them in spades. Each band came armed with a winning formula that frankly set them up for an easy win with the eager crowd…as long as they didn’t screw it up.

My least favorite moment of the set was the Beatles cover, “ With a Little Help from My Friends.” Given the time limitations imposed on an opening act, I would have much rather heard an original track like “Pamela,” “Straight for the Heart” or “Alone”, but it resonated with the crowd, who seemed to know the song better than most of the set.

Toto saved their hardest one-two punch for the end, pairing “Rosanna” with “Africa.” The former got everyone up on their feet, singing the catchy chorus and the latter was extended with an extended call and repeat section led by Williams that had everyone singing. Joseph Williams sounded solid and the band was tight. Despite the fact that most of the soul of the previous Toto lineups (Jeff, Mike and Steve Porcaro) are no longer alive or with the band, Luke’s new crew made a convincing case that the show can and still must go on.

Toto Set-list:

Orphan / Hold the Line / I’ll Be Over You / White Sister / Georgy Porgy / I Won’t Hold You Back / Home of the Brave / With a Little Help from My Friends (The Beatles cover) / Rosanna / Africa

While Toto was well received, there was no mistake from the first notes of the opener that the crowd was here first and foremost to see Journey . As they launched into “Only the Young,” the crowd jumped to its feet and threw their hands in the air in celebration of hearing those oh so-familiar songs they grew up with.

Like Toto , Journey has never been a critic’s darling, but they cracked a code for listeners in crafting blue-collar melodic anthems and ballads that captivated both the guys and the girls. And while the departure of Steve Perry was insufferable for some die-hard fans, the band has managed to overcome numerous obstacles, line-up changes and train wrecks in their personal lives because of two important factors. One, is the songs. They’re lodged in people’s brains, and the tunes are part of the soundtrack of many people’s lives. And two, is Arnel Pineda , who has somehow managed to step into the shoes of an absolutely iconic singer, perform an incredibly difficult catalog night after night, and still bring a charismatic youthful energy and vibrancy to the stage that is undeniable.

There are still some who say, “No Perry, No Journey.” But the undeniable truth is that Steve Perry can no longer sing the songs of Journey the way Arnel can. And while there’s been some talk in the past that Arnel was struggling from road fatigue (not unlike Steve Augeri , who was let go because of vocal strains), his performance in the oxygen-thin mile high stadium absolutely accentuated that he truly is an amazing discovery. Quite honestly, he’s mostly the reason Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain can keep their Journey going and playing to packed houses.

That’s not to diminish the roles and merits of Schon and Cain , who remain the dynamic duo of building working class songs that people can’t forget. While the mix of Schon ’s playing was underwhelming at times, Journey is clearly still his stage to shine upon, and to throw his frenetic but melodic playing front and center. Many of his singable solos are essential components of the songs, and he commandingly captivated the audience throughout the night. His wide mouthed grin seemed to suggest he thought they were having a pretty good night as a band—and they were.

The iconic hit, “Don’t Stop Believing,” was front loaded in the set, coming earlier than the all too expected encore (of which there wasn’t one). Journey has plenty of other songs to cap off the night with a bang, and “Any Way You Want It” served the purpose well.

The band broke into an extended jam on the tail end of “Send Her My Love” that was incendiary and a welcome bit of instrumental prowess. I was very disappointed, however, to discover that they had been playing “Escape” on this tour, but dropped it in exchange for “City of Hope.” This to me was like trading a diamond for pretty stone, and I regret not being able to hear Schon ’s memorable solo from that track live.

Schon did, however, play a solid extended solo in “Who’s Crying Now” that helped me get over the unexpected set change. Arnel whipped up the crowd to sing “Woah oo woah oo woah oo whoa” in tandem to Schon ’s spot and it played well to a very vocal crowd.

Drummer Deen Castronovo took the spotlight and lead vocal of “Mother, Father” delivering a stunning performance while managing to pound the drums without it interfering with his singing delivery. Deen was out of Journey for a number of years, but his return is welcome with his powerful, precise hits, and he left no doubt that his vocal abilities are also top notch.

After the rollicking blues number, “Lovin’ Touchin’ Squeezin’,” everyone left the stage for Jonathan Cain to perform a piano solo that was laced with more classical elements. His red grand piano has been a signature visual of the Journey live show, and as he segued into the opening bars of “Open Arms,” the crowd erupted. Girls pulled their guys closer. And while I can honestly say I’ve never loved that song, Arnel Pineda absolutely killed it on that song. Strong, soaring and note for note on the money. It was a remarkable vocal performance that any “No Perry No Journey” fan with an open mind would concede was great.

Cain introduced “Faithfully” with a reference to the sacrifices made of the military, which garnered respectful applause, and Arnel again demonstrated his abilities with an audacious display of control and range.

Journey had a couple new faces in their lineup, namely bass player Todd Jensen and keyboard/vocalist b, who was given the lead vocal duties for “Girl Can’t Help It,” which came off as the saggiest part of the set. Jason ’s voice was competent, but his stage presence was lacking for a lead vocalist, and it seemed like an unnecessary choice when the pipes of Deen and Arnel were available.

Neal Schon then took a guitar solo that meandered a bit between control and chaos, that fired up some fans more when it devolved into the opening of “Wheel in the Sky,” which featured another crowd sing-along chorus that resonated with long time fans. Growing late into the evening, Journey ended with a hit-triplet of “Separate Ways,” “Be Good to Yourself” and “Any Way You Want It.”

It was a night of polished performances by two veteran bands who lack a lot of original members but can still bring solid execution of songs that have stood the test of time. It was, for those in attendance, exactly the way they wanted it. And it’s a tour worth seeing if it rolls into your town.

Journey Set-list:

Only the Young / Stone in Love / Don’t Stop Believin’ / Lights / Send Her My Love / Ask the Lonely / City of Hope / Who’s Crying Now / Mother, Father (Deen Castronovo on lead vocals) /       Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’ / Jonathan Cain Piano Solo / Open Arms / Faithfully / Girl Can’t Help It (Jason Derlatka on lead vocals) / Neal Schon Guitar Solo / Wheel in the Sky / Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) / Be Good to Yourself / Any Way You Want It

ABOUT JOURNEY

Since the group's formation in 1973,  JOURNEY  has earned 19 top 40 singles, 25 gold and platinum albums, and has sold nearly 100 million albums globally. Their  "Greatest Hits"  album is certified 15 times-platinum, making  JOURNEY  one of the few bands to ever have been diamond-certified, and their song  "Don't Stop Believin'"  has been streamed over one billion times alone.

JOURNEY  was inducted into the  Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame  in 2017, and 2018's co-headlining tour with  DEF LEPPARD  was the band's most successful tour to date, landing them in the Top 10 year-end touring chart with more than 1 million tickets sold, and earning them the prestigious  Billboard "Legends Of Live"  touring award. March 2019 saw the release of  "Escape & Frontiers Live In Japan" , a live DVD/CD set from their concert at the Budokan in Tokyo featuring the band's first-ever performances of the albums  "Escape"  and  "Frontiers"  in their entirety.  JOURNEY  has also received a star on the  Hollywood Walk Of Fame  and were inducted into the  Hollywood Bowl Hall Of Fame . Additionally, the band is the subject of the award-winning documentary  "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey"  about the band's resurgence upon adding  Arnel Pineda  as lead singer after founding member  Neal Schon  discovered the Philippines native on  YouTube .

Over the past several years,  TOTO  have had a major renaissance in popularity like few bands at this point in their career.  Their 40th anniversary in 2018 was marked by them releasing a brand new Greatest Hits album (40 Trips Around The Sun) and embarking on their most successful worldwide tour to date.   Few ensembles in the history of recorded music have individually or collectively had a larger imprint on pop culture than the members of  TOTO .  As individuals, the band members can be heard on an astonishing 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a half a billion albums.  Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with more than 200 Grammy nominations.  

Collectively  TOTO  has over two billion streams worldwide on all streaming services.  Just last year one of their biggest hits “Africa” went from being a Platinum single to being recently recertified 6X Platinum.  The band has found a new generation of fans.  With now 40+ years together and literally thousands of credits, including the biggest selling album of all time: Michael Jackson’s  Thriller , and accolades to their names,  TOTO  remains one of the top selling touring and recording acts in the world. They are the benchmark by which many artists base their sound and production, and they continue to transcend the standards set by the entire music community, being simply synonymous with musical credibility.  They are pop culture, and are one of the few 70’s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles continuing to remain relevant while enjoying their multi-generational global fan base.

As previously reported, JOURNEY will return to Las Vegas for a brand-new six-show residency at the Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, part of Curio Collection by Hilton, from December 1 through December 11.

JOURNEY made its return to the live stage on July 29 during a special "aftershow" at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom. The concert took place just two days before JOURNEY 's appearance at Lollapalooza on the Bud Light Seltzer stage at Grant Park.

JOURNEY 's lineup for the above-mentioned shows included the return of drummer Deen Castronovo , who shared the drum duties in the band with Narada Michael Walden . Walden , bassist Randy Jackson and keyboardist/backing singer Jason Derlatka all joined JOURNEY last year following the band's acrimonious split with drummer Steve Smith and bassist Ross Valory . Jackson — who previously played with JOURNEY during the mid-1980s — was forced to miss all the recent gigs because he was scheduled to undergo back surgery. Filling in for him was Marco Mendoza , who previously played several shows in 2019 with Castronovo and JOURNEY guitarist Neal Schon under the "Neal Schon's Journey Through Time" banner.

In June, JOURNEY shared a new single, "The Way We Used To Be" . The song was the multi-platinum band's first new music since 2011's album "Eclipse" , and the first track released by the band's revamped lineup. "The Way We Used To Be" marks Walden and Derlatka 's first studio recordings with the band, and Jackson 's first since 1986's "Raised On Radio" . The song was produced by Narada Michael Walden at his Tarpan Studios , with co-production by Schon and Cain .

Since the group's formation in 1973, JOURNEY has earned 19 top 40 singles, 25 gold and platinum albums, and has sold nearly 100 million albums globally. Their "Greatest Hits" album is certified 15 times-platinum, making JOURNEY one of the few bands to ever have been diamond-certified, and their song "Don't Stop Believin'" has been streamed over one billion times alone.

JOURNEY was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2017, and 2018's co-headlining tour with DEF LEPPARD was the band's most successful tour to date, landing them in the Top 10 year-end touring chart with more than 1 million tickets sold, and earning them the prestigious Billboard "Legends Of Live" touring award.

Utah Concert Review

Relive the Utah Concert Experience!

Journey w/ TOTO

Journey Freedom Tour w/ TOTO•March 24, 2022•Vivint Arena

Reviewed and Photographed by Kevin Rolfe

Preceding their album of the same name, Journey’s Freedom Tour is underway. It should come as no surprise that Vivint Arena in downtown Salt Lake City was packed for the rock n roll hall of famers. I can’t think of a Journey concert whether it be out at USANA Amphitheatre or here at Vivint Arena that wasn’t overflowing with fans. Journey is one of the most beloved bands in Utah.  People of all ages have taken to their music, and their concerts show it. With every song, I could hear the echo of the crowd’s collective voice singing along.  These guys have been doing it for years.  They’re true professionals.  I can’t imagine playing to an engaged audience like the one on Thursday, March 24 could ever get old.  

The evening began with legends themselves, TOTO taking the stage.  Billy Idol was originally scheduled to perform on this leg of Journey’s US tour. But had to cancel due to health concerns.  TOTO was already booked to open for Journey on the 2nd leg of the tour. So they committed to the rest of the dates. I have never seen Billy Idol.  I one day hope to. And I wish him good health.  Having TOTO open for Journey seemed so fitting.  We saw TOTO here in Utah when they headlined Eccles Theater.  It was great to have them back. 

The purpose of an opener is to warm up the crowd, right?  To get the energy up so when the headliner takes the stage the audience is ready to go.  Sometimes it’s fun to have an up and coming or unknown artist open a show.  It gives them a chance to perform in front of a new audience and gives the audience a chance to discover some new music.  In this case, I loved having TOTO, a band established for over 40 years, get things going.  Again, it was a really good fit for this show.  They did not mess around with getting the crowd (not always an easy thing to do at Vivint) on their feet.  Seconds into their second song, “Hold the Line”, the floor and lower bowl rose to their feet.  Many stayed there for the rest of the set.

Lead guitarist, Steve Lukather shared with the audience that it made sense for many reasons that TOTO would be touring with Journey.  Not only are they connected from back in the day, but Lukather’s son is engaged to Journey keyboardist, Jonathan Cain’s daughter.  Pretty cool. 

It felt like the TOTO set flew by.  Songs like “Georgy Porgy” and “ Home of the Brave” seemed to bring back a flood of memories for the TOTO fans in attendance.  Which were many.  Joseph Williams’ vocals sounded great.  In fact, the touring lineup TOTO has with them is stacked with amazing vocalists.  Whenever someone was given the chance to solo during a song, each guy seemed to sound better than the next!  

The set closed with a series of great songs.  First was TOTO’s cover of The Beatles’ “With a Little Help From My Friends”.  TOTO performed in the Joe Cocker style and I was so into it.  I love that version, and this version was a welcome surprise.  “Rosanna” followed, and it brought everyone back to their feet.  The crowd was in mid-show form already. What better way to finish things off than their mega-hit, “Africa”. Vivint Arena went wild for this song which has had a great resurgence in recent years. 

I feel like this resurgence has given TOTO a new pep in their step.  The song unsurprisingly sounded awesome.  TOTO was cheered on as they exited the stage.  I thought for a second they might even come back for an encore.  Something very uncommon for openers.  But their set was over and the road crew began to work quickly to get the stage ready for Journey.  

TOTO Setlist

Orphan Hold the Line I’ll Be Over You White Sister Georgy Porgy I Won’t Hold You Back Home of the Brave With a Little Help From My Friends Rosanna Africa

As I made my way through the crowd, back to the soundboard area where I would be taking photos I could see the anticipation in everyone’s eyes.  People were making hurried beer runs or souvenir stops so they could be sure to get back.  I could hear people talking about how many times they’ve seen Journey.  I heard a couple sharing that they’ve seen every incarnation of Journey together.  They did a breakdown of each lead vocalist.  It seems the common consensus is that people love Steve Perry, and would love to see him perform with Journey.  But the love for Arneil is strong.  Time was moving fast and it was almost time for the band to take the stage.  

What is it about Journey? Why do people like them so much?  Don’t get me wrong, I love them.  I’ve seen them on every Utah tour stop for the last decade.  When I look at other bands in their genre, or from their era who have had lineup changes, different frontmen, etc.  They don’t seem to be able to keep the same sustainability as Journey has.  Year after year, tour after tour, they just keep filling arenas and huge amphitheaters. 

Lead singer, Arniel Pineda has a ton of personality on stage, but when you look at Journey, there’s not a ton of personality.  At least overt personalities like the ones you might see in Red Hot Chili Peppers, or Foo Fighters (RIP Taylor 🙁 ).  Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain are both pretty laid-back performers.  So what is it?  It’s the music.  The songs are so popular, so infectious that we keep coming back to hear them and see this band live.  It’s such a simple answer, but it’s the absolute truth.  

I finished photographing after “Stone in Love” and made my way back to my seat.  And by “made my way”, I mean I was running.  I make a point of not looking at the setlist before the show. I like being surprised.  One of the Vivint staff was so surprised at the next song on the setlist that she couldn’t help but show me.  When I saw what song was next, I knew it wasn’t a song I should be making my way back to my seat to.  So I ran!

The third song on the setlist, yes, the third song of the night was, “Don’t Stop Believin”!  Can you believe that?  I could not.  That song is usually reserved for the end of a Journey concert.  But apparently, the boys wanted to mix things up.  I’m sure you can imagine the mix of shock and excitement coming from the audience.  It was a surprising move that totally paid off.  The crowd went nuts!

The streak of amazing songs didn’t stop there.  The next song began with Neal Schon telling us that Journey was going to take us back to San Francisco.  He asked us to “Light this place up!” as he began playing the intro to “Lights”.  Cell phone lights made Vivint Arena glow as we all joined with Arneil on the chorus.  

The first thing I notice was that Arniel Pineda’s vocals were in top form.  Those vocals are not easy! In fact, it’s fun to hear people try to sing along.  So often men have to drop it down an octave to be able to sing.  I don’t know Pineda does it night in and night out.  I’ve attended some shows where Arneil’s voice is a little tour tired. And who can blame him?  But on this night, he sounded fantastic.   What makes it all the more amazing is that he’s also running around the stage, jumping off monitors, and just constantly moving.  It’s impressive. 

Following a raucous, “Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin”, Jonathan Cain asked us about mid-show how we were linking the show so far.  I’ll let you guess how that response went. He joked that they “Followed the Biebs”.  Justin Bieber played Vivint Arena just a week or so prior.  Jonathan Cain must have been looking at the Vivint show calendar.   He shared with us that there’s an inspiration or story to every song.  Cain told us he wrote this next song while he was on a tour bus. Touring and separated from his family.  He dedicated “Faithfully” to the men and women of the military.  That dedication added an extra sentiment to an already very sentimental song.  

I enjoyed seeing Deen Castronovo back in the band.  Having to depart some years back due to some matters in his personal life, I was happy to see him looking well and in peak form. He and keyboardist Jason Derlatka each had a turn singing lead on a couple of songs.  Castronovo crushed it when taking lead vocals on “Mother, Father”.  And Derlatka sounded great on deep cut, “Suzanne” off of Raised on Radio . 

The beauty of having a catalog like Journey’s is you can play “Don’t Stop Believin” third, and still have so many great songs, that the setlist doesn’t suffer.  “Wheel in the Sky” got the crowd back on their feet.  “Wheel in the Sky” was followed by “Separate Ways”. A song Journey often opens with.  So they really moved things around in this show.  They kept me on my toes! At this point, the young people were still going strong, and the older fans were ready to use up the energy they had conserved by sitting down on the slow songs.  I loved the people around me.  I’d say they were in their late 50’s, but they might as well have been 21.  They were having such a good time.  I felt like their energy was contagious and the rest of our area was joining in.  

Instead of taking an encore break, Journey kept the momentum going with “Be Good to Yourself” an underrated Journey classic in my opinion.  And just when I didn’t think things could reach a new level, Journey closed the night with “Anyway You Want It”.  That might be my favorite Journey song.  I tried to sing along but by this time my voice was shot.  So I saved my pipes and only joined in to echo, “All Night!”. 

Journey left the stage, and again, for a minute, I wondered if they would come back.  The crowd sure tried.  But the night was over.  18 songs is a little short in my opinion, but to be fair, in the moment, I didn’t feel like it was a short show.  It’s easy to look at the setlist and be like, “That’s it?”.  But I was definitely satisfied with the night.  Journey simply doesn’t disappoint.  Journey is so polished in what they do. While some might criticize that it’s not raw enough, or polished isn’t rock n roll, I disagree with both sentiments.  I think the band knows what they’re doing.  They know what the fans want and they always deliver.  I know they’ll be back and I can’t wait.
