Jonathan Cain should not have any animosity towards Gregg Rollie.. he hand picked Cain as his successor.. John Waite called Open Arms rubbish!! Journey provided Cain with a talented vehicle to get his music heard!! Without Rollie, Perry and Schon he would be nothing!!
Gregg, welcome back; you have been missed. You are what has been missing. What an awesome show. Congrats on 50 years of badassery to all of you gentlemen.
I don't know what was more special, seeing Neil and Greg play old Journey songs or old Santana!!??? Both are historic and may never be seen again!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
They knocked "Of A Lifetime" out of the park right there! This was always my favorite era of Journey. Infinity/Evolution/Departure and of course, Captured.
How underrated is drummer Deen Castronovo? Not only an amazing singer, but killing a Santana song while being the ONLY percussionist on stage.... kudos Deen!!!!!
@@christianjimbomb8204 Well, the bad reputation thing can be left in the past. He does have a great voice. He said in an interview that he wanted to be true to the songs and make fans happy. I’ve heard him sing when not on stage, and he still sounds great. (With his “own voice.”) I think it would be hard to be famous, and it isn’t for everyone for sure. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.
I saw Lukather jamming with Steve Morse and he had to ask Morse how he was doing certain things on his guitar. The real gold standard is Steve Morse and the one that say's it more often than anyone is John Petrucci.
@@markrobertdevison1227 There is a reason that Lukather has played on over 2,000 studio albums. I would bet money that nobody else can tout those kind of numbers. There is a reason.
I wonder if the crowd knows how great of a musician Lukather is? The songs he wrote can fill a whole week of concerts! Rolle is awesome love his voice!
He is so soft-spoken he is such a gentleman very quiet just like he was when they initiated them into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame this was just perfect. I give kudos to Neal for orchestrating Gregg to come and perform. Thank you Neal
Love that guy. Always classy and still has his voice. BTW, what is up with Jonathan Cain? Leather suit...and too chubby for it. Elvis haircut and sideburns. He looks like a clown.
@@alfredooliva5175 I think Lavonne was saying that Neal orchestrated Greg coming to join in on that gig. So Yeah for that. But Greg quit Journey in 1980, other than publishing issues during his time in the band, he has no say whatsoever on happens in that band. When you quit, you relinquish your vote and you certainly can't come back or join in whenever you want. That is up to the active band members. Same goes for Steve. He has no say. If Steve wanted back in, the band would need to invite him. Even Arnel Pineda has a greater voice on the matter right now than Steve does. Of course Neal and Jonathan could override Arnel's vote in heartbeat if they wanted, and I am sure they would if they wanted. That's just how bands work.
We Love You Gregg Rolie!! God Bless You and Neal For Creating Journey 50 Years Ago! Some Of The Best Music Ever!! Thank You For Picking UP Neal So He Could Make It To Practice Every Day!! 😊
Thank you Arnel Pineda for introducing us to Journey and its music and making us proud. Without a singer like you, Journey would not have been able to keep going and continue playing in sold out concerts.
@Betty Wallace not when they take their dirty laundry and smear it in the faces of the fans. They should have zipped it up and focus on bringing the fans more value.
@Betty Wallace Not everything needs to be all over social media everyday. 90% of bands have inner issues, they just keep it inner band like they should.
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle try sing the stuff you sang on the top part of your range when you were 25 at the age of 70. Tuning down is necessary and it doesn’t take anything away from the song.
Gregg Rolie amazing his voice is amazing. He is exactly correct music brings out the best in people makes them happy put some in a different frame of mind I'm just so grateful that I was able to hear the music from Austin. Thank you Gregg Rolie. Oh I forgot to say one other thing Neal plays a whole lot better and more intense when you are there he knows where his home is and it's with you and him just absolutely the best.
Neil Schon, I've always thought he was a very good guitar player but I have to say, the older he gets, the more he impresses me because his note for note precision is impeccable. This guy never misses a single note; not playing rhythm or in his solos. Incredible.
@@905Alive I'm not sure what your point is. I did not say anything negative about his guitar playing. That being said, my point was NOT that he has gotten to be a better guitar player as he has gotten older, although that may be the case, I'm saying that as he gets up there in age, (he is 68 right now as I speak), he plays his old songs just as good as the day he wrote them. He plays everything note for freaking note. He's amazing. A lot of guitar players lose it. Look at Carlos Santana. He's lazy, he's sloppy, he's a hack...and a guy grew up worshiping. So sad to see. Now I grew up a moderate Journey fan, not hard core at all. But seeing Schon's chops now makes me think that maybe I should have been worshiping him instead of Santana.
@@BH530711 I am a fairly new all-out Neal Schon fan. In the last 6 months, I got 6 of his solo albums. All freakin' amazing. His music is therapeutic to me. He makes the guitar express so much emotion. He's a legend.
G.R. is a legend. 75 years old and still tearing it up. Wow. Of course some of the vocal notes are a bit tough, but he's singing those O.G. Journey songs in the original key. Which is something very few if any of the "old timers', so to speak do nowadays.
And BTW G.R. was born in Seattle WA and grew up in Palo Alto CA and everyone knows that both Santana and Journey always considered San Francisco home base. I guess all that's missing at this show is Carlos lol
As singers get older 60+, it is usually difficult for them to hit the high notes (for sustained periods or at all) that they did in their younger years. Still got to appreciate the talent and skill regardless of the key.
@@drock9083 It was close to OG Santana and sounded like it. Tom Coster lives in Los Altos, Jorma Kakaunen from Santa Clara, Jerry Garcia Palo Alto but they all moved to the City once the band took off, then Marin County. Many still there.
@@drock9083 carlos turned into a diva somewhere in the 80's. in the 70's he actually played a whole show. later, he just walked out and played a few minutes and then disappeared over and over. and gregg was too much of a diva to go to his 50th HS reunion.
Watched this this morning in hospital just having ng my knee replaced....made me forget about the pain!!🤪 Have seen Journey close to 30 times..... honestly can say they sound "better than ever"!! Can't wait to I get another chance...FAITHFULLY keeping this guy's in prayer!!🎸🎸
While watching this, I realized that I actually had forgotten how great of a voice Gregg has, and also how much his voice reminded me of Steve Lukathor, and then it happened, Steve walked out for a song. I did see Journey in concert a few times, but not before Gregg left the band, and I missed this most recent tour, but even just sitting at my computer and watching this on a big screen, this has to be my favorite Journey concert moment. I have to wonder just how many of Journey's younger fans are aware that Gregg and Neal were actually members of Santana before starting Journey.
Gregg was an original member of Santana (1966) on keyboards and the voice of all their early hits. Neil joined the band early 70's. They left to form Journey. Give Gregg his props. He was a founding member of 2 highly successful bands.
just loved Greg in original journey band -it was great, wild energetic composing-not commercial.and my fav journey.i played i in cover bands that played that stuff
As much as I loved Steve Perry's vocals for Journey, I MISSED Gregg Rolie SO MUCH when he left Journey!! The band was NEVER the same again without him...These songs played in Austin, are A JOY to hear Gregg taking his rightful place at the keys and mic! It was TOO LONG comin' and I HOPE he plays with Journey more often! Get rid of John Cain especially since he's rippin' off the band and BRING GREGG BACK!!😍🥰💗💗💗
...off-the-chain excellent! When Gregg and Neal get together, it takes the music to another level...Steve Lukather was an extra added /fantastic bonus...I think music critical mass was reached w/ Gregg, Neal, Luke and Deen on the same stage...hair was standing up on the back of my neck!!!
Hindi nya binanggit si arnel dahil nakita nya na kayang kaya lahat ni arnel at walang inaatrasan we love you arnel mahal ka naming lahat ng mga kababayan mo.❤❤❤
Yung black magic woman ni greg rolie anyway you want it lng ni arnel ang katapat nong patapos na ang kanta ni arnel ng anyway you want it napailing o napatingin si Greg rolie bahala na sya kung ano ang masabi nya ky arnel basta para sa akin da best si arnel❤❤❤yeeeehhheeeyyy mabuhay ang pinoy arnel pineda❤❤❤
Arnel made the Journey survive for one and half decades… still counting! Those people who are saying negative comments are just envious. Anyhow, God make it happened and these people cannot do anything, no matter what. Cheers to Arnel Pineda! Perform with pride ! Show to those envious people that you convert the negative to positive. The more they will pull you down, the more you’ll gain your strength to the top.
I was at this show. It was great. I’ve never been a big fan of Arnel, but his voice was great for this show. Was so excited to see Gregg Rolie. If I had known he would be there, I would have paid for better seats. 😊 Dean sounded amazing. I do think it was equipment failure, as he was loud and clear in the beginning. He sounds so much like Steve Perry!!! Would have been perfect night if Steve had been there also, even if to just walk out and speak to the fans. I knew it wouldn’t happen but was hoping.
@@whoknew6503 don't be so rude by your words. Be a good human being so you have a place in heaven if not you will go to hell. God said love your neighbor nor your enemy as you can love your self. Love is the biggest command of God.
Arnel is 55 years old, has been with the band for more years than Perry was and he can still sing Journey songs as he did when he debuted with the band. He has kept his voice healthy because he has no vices, does not do drugs, smoke or drink.
Arnell made it possible that Journey kept performing at the highest level for so long, uninterrupted since he began in 2007. Arnell Pineda is a legend. Journey's longest-standing frontman.
absolutely right i am a filipino but since steve perry left the band can we jyst be happy guys that the journey still performing amazing with arnel pineda i mean arnel has giving his heart and soul when he is on stage u can see it he love what he is doing and many ppl are also love him hope ppl stop comparing arnel and steve deen and arnell let''s give respect love and support to arnel and the journey with out comparison
@@PeachWNK meaning augerri didn’t even exist no one remembered him just my 2cents and that’s what I thought too! his presence dont have impact that is why maybe!
@SweetLove Oh, my gosh. You are so wrong. Look at any Journey fan page. Augeri is well loved. Arrival is beloved, as well. It’s a fantastic album. If you haven’t listened to it, that’s your loss. Steve was there from 1998-2006. He was the bridge. If it wasn’t for him, there would have been no Arnel. Didn’t exist. So derogatory.
Gregg Rolie is a class act giving honors to Steve Perry and everyone who has ever been in the band who has made journey so successful through the years. Kudos to you MR. Rolie
Incredible..The Luke solo is amazing. Taking nothing away from Schon though..both brilliant. Seeing Rolie up there again is unreal. Wish I'd been there.
wow,greg sounds great and you can see the joy again in neals eyes playing them good ole tunes,like they use to sound and he enjoys it well!!!!as all of us do!!!so great!!
Looks to me like 3/4 of fans didn't even know the old stuff . Just there to hear open arms for one millionth time . I for one loved a lot of the first 3 albums. Oh well it was a long time ago. Great to see some civility among the band at least for one night.
@MARISSAFEHERRADURA Well it's well documented Deen had some issues, that eventually landed him in a bad place. Or maybe Deen didn't want to play drums and lead every song. Drummers who can sing, are a different breed
I was on a Journey “Feeling That Way”kick four months ago. I knew the song forward and backward… seeing Journey perform “Feeling That Way” in this video and watching band go directly into “Anytime” was unbelievable. They sounded incredible. And the drummer singing was a huge surprise.
Marvelous job guys! Greg Rollie your still a Superstar and your voice is still dynomite!!! I would love to see you stay on in the band and make more beautiful songs!!
It's good to see that original/new Journey members will join their old mates, it's a great reunion!...For me, it's also good to add old members, help your old mates and share your blessings!...We're already old, few more years we're gone. Take out our selfishness, greed, jealousy, hatred....just help and be happy to each other!...We will not bring our money after we die. Show kindness to each other. God bless to all.
Wow! Better than I could have ever imagined. Great job everyone! Welcome back Greg! Now stick around! Deeno! Your talents are truly magical. Man how you made that old song come alive. You know how to make the crowd really feel it. Awesome!!!!!!
Wow! Thank you so much for Capturing this and for sharing it! Been waiting a long time to see Gregg back performing with Journey…hope they make him a permanent addition…it’s really part of the history of this great band. Love it!
I was at the concert in Austin. His voice was amazing and great to see them share the stage again. It was legendary! However, I was SICK to my stomach watching people leave the arena during his performance. Seriously, when you get a chance to witness the original members of Journey, you should consider yourself lucky and treat it as a gift. Thank you Journey for putting on a great wonderful show. I will cherish it for the rest of my life! Keep rocking on!
Steve Perry is Journey to a lot of people. Journey did 3 records before Steve Perry joined the band. Many of us want to see Greg back in. Do those tunes from the start. Loving this! We have tickets for San Antonio.
He is a legend. He might have still been the singer had Steve not shown up. Lord, lighten the f up. You wanna leave? Great. Really make a statement. Leave for good. Never, ever go to a Journey show again
I was there and it was great. But I could care less if people left. You got "sick to your stomach"? Seriously? Sounds way more like a YOU problem than them. It's their right. Sorry they didn't live up to YOUR expectations...lol.
@@Vancer1111 No needs to be so aggressive and insulting. He is passionate about the band and the music, I too would feel the same, especially as I am old enough to have grown up with the original Santana and then Journey.
Ty Arnel for everything you’ve done for Journey! Ty Greg Rolie and of course Neal and the rest of the band. Steve, we’ve missed you every day that you’ve been gone. What an encore ❤
Can’t believe they played the early stuff before Steve perry joined. Greg’s band used to come to Santa Cruz every year for a free concert at the Beach boardwalk. I got to meet him between sets and asked him why they didn’t play any journey stuff, they played mostly Santana tunes, he told me the band didn’t know the tunes well enough. I still have all of the early albums from those days. Very underrated stuff. Hearing these tunes live is awesome! Wish I was there.
OMG I just discovered this. How awesome is that! I love the Rolie/Perry era. I would give almost anything to see Journey perform a few bangers with Rolie just like they did here.
Bringing Dean and Greg back really takes you back to some of the best times ever to be alive! Real music from the soul will never be replaced by A.I reproduction. There is a magic there that can never be touched.
I was hoping so bad that Gregg would return and tour and even though I probably won't get to see him in person as I don't think he's going on regular tour with them I am in the Chicago area it's a dream come true to see him on stage again with Neil Sean.. this just Thrills me to the core of my soul Journey was my first concert of my life back in '79 I was able to see them and was spoiled for life so this is a dream come true for me to see Gregg back up there!
So great to see Gregg Rolie performing Journey songs again. I’ve missed his contribution to the overall sound. And get a load of that singing drummer! Who would’ve thought?! This brings me back to seeing them performing live in 1980!
That's Deen Castronovo. He can do all the songs that are too high for Arnel ('Mother Father', etc.). Also, speaking of singing drummers, Steve Perry actually is one too. Most people don't know he started out as a drummer and is quite a good one. Cheers!
Good stuff. All respect to Gregg! I am thankful Deen has helped keep this band going for 25 years. Having an awesome drummer like him with the vocal prowess he has is such a huge asset for Neal and the gang. Great stuff!
I thought it was the discovery of a new singer to replace Perry that kept the band going and introduced it to new fans not just in the US but also around the globe. Until Pineda arrived on the scene, I have not heard of Journey or its songs but now here in the Philippines Journey songs are the favorite of Karaoke singers.
While they were searching for a lead vocalist, Deen had to do all the shows singing lead for all the songs while playing the drums at the same time. That's why you still see him singing lead on a few tunes like "Mother, Father" to give Pineda a break during the show. Deen has the best voice in the band, but you have to have a lead man in a band like Journey to run around the stage and get the crowd going like Pineda does.@@MARISSAFEHERRADURA
Arnel can sing without journey. He can go to bonjovi if ever. Thanks Arnel for contributed your voice to the journey band for 15years. Filipino still support you
@@lolabebzdiysewiteasylearne5286 yeah you’re right. Fan of Steve perry can’t accept that Arnel can sing really good. Arnel is versatile singer. Who can do that? At his age 50’s still every night tour🥴🥴🥴 people should realize how humble and his dedication with this band . We Filipino truly appreciate him and support him all the way. There is no such thing to compare between of those two singers because Steve is Steve and Arnel is Arnel. Two singers support each other 😂😂 only a fan compares 😂
@@markbirchette8740 true,but Gregg was JUST....the musical talent part,he wasnt the " VOICE " that made journey,he didnt have the voice that would make you want to sing along with....nothing unique or memorable about gregg......so Gregg was nothing more then just,,,a musician......he wasnt a STEVE PERRY!!!!!!.....this is fact aswell....I think you know what I mean...
@@nofilter.906 Seen Journey many times with Steve, yes he HAD a great voice. Exactly why they found a sound alike in Arnel. My only point in the original comment was it was nice to see Greg performing with the band he helped start. Nothing more, nothing less. I wasn't comparing him to anyone unlike you. I was giving the man credit where it was due. Steve cant sing anymore, especially like he did in the 80s Greg can still hit the same notes he did in the 70s long before Perry saved Journey. Steve can't anymore. It happens. Paul Stanley, Rob Halford, etc. Aging was kind to Greg because he didn't sing in high registers, and why he can still hit the same notes.
GREGG ROLIE DESERVES ALL THE RESPECT HE GETS!!!
AMEN to that!!!
WHERE'S STEVE PERRY ?
Gregg Rollie is as much a part of the Journey legacy as Steve Perry..
Jonathan Cain should not have any animosity towards Gregg Rollie.. he hand picked Cain as his successor.. John Waite called Open Arms rubbish!! Journey provided Cain with a talented vehicle to get his music heard!! Without Rollie, Perry and Schon he would be nothing!!
@@gregeaton6938 that’s just not close to being accurate.
Incredible to see Gregg Rolie. Love the Rolie Perry duets.
That's not Steve Perry.

Pretty sure they were referring to the past.
Greg Rollie is the man! He is incredible!

OF A LIFETIME!!!!!

I was thinking the same thing. Deen sings like Steve Perry and drums like two drummers at one time. Phenomenal!

Steve Lukather is the gold standard of guitar heroes. That was a jam for the ages.

It was TOO LONG comin' and I HOPE he plays with Journey more often! Get rid of John Cain especially since he's rippin' off the band and BRING GREGG BACK!!😍🥰💗💗💗
Killer solo by Lukather, Neal just shaking his head.
If only Perry would do such an appearance with Rolie sharing vocals. Oh well, I can dream.
He might do it... never say never.
Perry’s pipes are shot…won’t happen
@@Oh_I_Will...true...BUT HAVE SOME BALLS AND PRIDE TO DUE A CONCERT FOR A CHARITY THAT HE AND JOURNEY IS INVOLVED WITH.
Dean does a much better job than Arnel.
That would be awesome.
...off-the-chain excellent! When Gregg and Neal get together, it takes the music to another level...Steve Lukather was an extra added /fantastic bonus...I think music critical mass was reached w/ Gregg, Neal, Luke and Deen on the same stage...hair was standing up on the back of my neck!!!
Oh ano napailing nalang c Greg rollie KY Arnel super amazing TALAGA c Arnel Godbless you 💕💕💕
Love you, Arnel!!! ❤❤
Saan parte po ng vid dko po napansin hehe

Arnel made the Journey survive for one and half decades… still counting! Those people who are saying negative comments are just envious. Anyhow, God make it happened and these people cannot do anything, no matter what. Cheers to Arnel Pineda! Perform with pride ! Show to those envious people that you convert the negative to positive. The more they will pull you down, the more you’ll gain your strength to the top.
We the fans want more of this!
aaah sooooo cool...and
GREAT JOB ALL...THANX 4 MAKING Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO the music worldwide.
LOVE YOU ALL...!!!....MUCH LOVE.!!
I was at this show. It was great. I’ve never been a big fan of Arnel, but his voice was great for this show. Was so excited to see Gregg Rolie. If I had known he would be there, I would have paid for better seats. 😊 Dean sounded amazing. I do think it was equipment failure, as he was loud and clear in the beginning. He sounds so much like Steve Perry!!! Would have been perfect night if Steve had been there also, even if to just walk out and speak to the fans. I knew it wouldn’t happen but was hoping.
I feel the same way. Did you notice how many NOT true fans leaving during his performance? I was disgusted....literally disgusted!
@@whoknew6503 Really ,, Crazy this show must have been amazing..

@@beckytabano2821 If was actually a compliment, indirectly. The casual fan missed out on a great piece of history!
Arnel is 55 years old, has been with the band for more years than Perry was and he can still sing Journey songs as he did when he debuted with the band. He has kept his voice healthy because he has no vices, does not do drugs, smoke or drink.
So cool after years of different lead singers and fill ins to have Greg on the stage again is incredible
Arnell made it possible that Journey kept performing at the highest level for so long, uninterrupted since he began in 2007. Arnell Pineda is a legend. Journey's longest-standing frontman.
But not the most famous . Perry will still be that . I do like Arnell very very much .
absolutely right i am a filipino but since steve perry left the band can we jyst be happy guys that the journey still performing amazing with arnel pineda i mean arnel has giving his heart and soul when he is on stage u can see it he love what he is doing and many ppl are also love him hope ppl stop comparing arnel and steve deen and arnell let''s give respect love and support to arnel and the journey with out comparison
Uninterrupted? Augeri took over for Perry for 8 years. Why do people think it went right from Perry to Arnel? That’s what “uninterrupted” means.
@@PeachWNK meaning augerri didn’t even exist no one remembered him just my 2cents and that’s what I thought too! his presence dont have impact that is why maybe!
@SweetLove Oh, my gosh. You are so wrong. Look at any Journey fan page. Augeri is well loved. Arrival is beloved, as well. It’s a fantastic album. If you haven’t listened to it, that’s your loss. Steve was there from 1998-2006. He was the bridge. If it wasn’t for him, there would have been no Arnel. Didn’t exist. So derogatory.
Gregg Rolie is a class act giving honors to Steve Perry and everyone who has ever been in the band who has made journey so successful through the years. Kudos to you MR. Rolie
Absolutely love seeing GR up there. Magical
Gregs voice is still in top form so good to hear him brings you back to a simpler time thank you with all my heart for posting this your the 👌 best
For the love of music and without the unnecessary drama smeared online, this comeback moment is one of the most epic ones.
However short lived this may be, it was great to see these guys perform even once together on stage.
Incredible..The Luke solo is amazing. Taking nothing away from Schon though..both brilliant. Seeing Rolie up there again is unreal. Wish I'd been there.
Nice great Collab Arnel and Greg rollie. Good job Arnel and Greg
Yes.. and it would be great if with steve perry too.. journey being united that’s a good sight to see
@@antonc2k3 Arnel wouldn't look at Gregg
@@paolovincent6800 Arnel doesn't lie very well.
@@paolovincent6800 Come on now, Pineda looked at Rolie plenty of times.
@@paolovincent6800 Ridiculous - he looked at him several times. Do you think he should stare at him through the whole song and ignore the audience??
wow,greg sounds great and you can see the joy again in neals eyes playing them good ole tunes,like they use to sound and he enjoys it well!!!!as all of us do!!!so great!!
Looks to me like 3/4 of fans didn't even know the old stuff . Just there to hear open arms for one millionth time . I for one loved a lot of the first 3 albums. Oh well it was a long time ago. Great to see some civility among the band at least for one night.
DEEN CASTRONOVO is an unbelievable singer!! He's more impressive every time I hear him!!
So why didn't Neal use Deen as lead singer after Perry left?
@MARISSAFEHERRADURA Well it's well documented Deen had some issues, that eventually landed him in a bad place. Or maybe Deen didn't want to play drums and lead every song. Drummers who can sing, are a different breed
Two of the best guitarists in the world on stage together
I was on a Journey “Feeling That Way”kick four months ago. I knew the song forward and backward… seeing Journey perform “Feeling That Way” in this video and watching band go directly into “Anytime” was unbelievable. They sounded incredible. And the drummer singing was a huge surprise.
Dean Castronovo is a fine drummer AND vocalist to be sure.
Great musicians Journey Band ❤️ Arnel and Gregg Amazing voice 👏👏👏
Arnel was in this concert?
@MARI 1:05 SSAFEHERRADURA Yes Arnel was there ..Greg had special participation on this concert..50th anniversary Journey Tour Concerts ❤
Marvelous job guys! Greg Rollie your still a Superstar and your voice is still dynomite!!! I would love to see you stay on in the band and make more beautiful songs!!
Discovered Journey in June 1978. Saw them open for the Stones in July 1978 at my first concert ever. This makes me so happy to see this. Geez.
Nice.
If nothing else a great way to thank the fans for 50 years of support!
Ohhh, Love me some Gregg Rolie 🙋🏽♀️💕
Beautiful! Great band and who doesn’t love Greg Rolie
What a treat for you all there in Austin , TX . and Lukather :) good to see most of the origanal lineup with all that is going on behind all this .
It's good to see that original/new Journey members will join their old mates, it's a great reunion!...For me, it's also good to add old members, help your old mates and share your blessings!...We're already old, few more years we're gone. Take out our selfishness, greed, jealousy, hatred....just help and be happy to each other!...We will not bring our money after we die. Show kindness to each other. God bless to all.
As somebody once said “he who dies with the most toys is still dead”
Wow! Better than I could have ever imagined. Great job everyone! Welcome back Greg! Now stick around! Deeno! Your talents are truly magical. Man how you made that old song come alive. You know how to make the crowd really feel it. Awesome!!!!!!
I bet many at that concert didn't realize they just witnessed Journey's Original lead singer.
Two of the world’s greatest guitarists, what a treat to see this 🤯 Thanks for posting!
Happy 50th anniversary. Amazing, Arnel we love and proud of you
Amazing!! Neal nailed the solo on Of a lifetime... This is what we fans need...
Dean's voice is phenomenal!!! Thumbs up 👆
Wow! Thank you so much for Capturing this and for sharing it! Been waiting a long time to see Gregg back performing with Journey…hope they make him a permanent addition…it’s really part of the history of this great band. Love it!
I was at the concert in Austin. His voice was amazing and great to see them share the stage again. It was legendary! However, I was SICK to my stomach watching people leave the arena during his performance. Seriously, when you get a chance to witness the original members of Journey, you should consider yourself lucky and treat it as a gift. Thank you Journey for putting on a great wonderful show. I will cherish it for the rest of my life! Keep rocking on!
Steve Perry is Journey to a lot of people. Journey did 3 records before Steve Perry joined the band. Many of us want to see Greg back in. Do those tunes from the start. Loving this! We have tickets for San Antonio.
He is a legend. He might have still been the singer had Steve not shown up. Lord, lighten the f up. You wanna leave? Great. Really make a statement. Leave for good. Never, ever go to a Journey show again
I was there and it was great. But I could care less if people left. You got "sick to your stomach"? Seriously? Sounds way more like a YOU problem than them. It's their right. Sorry they didn't live up to YOUR expectations...lol.
Who would be so stupid to leave during this?? You were so fortunate to witness an incredible moment in rock and roll
@@Vancer1111 No needs to be so aggressive and insulting. He is passionate about the band and the music, I too would feel the same, especially as I am old enough to have grown up with the original Santana and then Journey.
This literally brought tears to my eyes. Amazing. Utterly magical ❤
He still sounds great!! Wow!!!!!! Always loved the dynamic with both singers. Much appreciated, sir!
Ty Arnel for everything you’ve done for Journey! Ty Greg Rolie and of course Neal and the rest of the band. Steve, we’ve missed you every day that you’ve been gone. What an encore ❤
Can’t believe they played the early stuff before Steve perry joined. Greg’s band used to come to Santa Cruz every year for a free concert at the Beach boardwalk. I got to meet him between sets and asked him why they didn’t play any journey stuff, they played mostly Santana tunes, he told me the band didn’t know the tunes well enough. I still have all of the early albums from those days. Very underrated stuff. Hearing these tunes live is awesome! Wish I was there.
Or maybe he doesn't want to play those songs without Schon
@@DgeminisM he never mentioned Schon when I asked him that. Most people know the old Santana stuff as apposed to the old Journey tunes anyway.
@@mikegrizwold2522 i understand, it's just a teory, cheers!
Beautiful music. Thank you.
Just watched this entire piece and when done…realized I had a smile on my face that may not come off. Love it!
What a stage full of amazing talent.
Deen Castronovo is awesome as is the entire set.
OMG I just discovered this. How awesome is that! I love the Rolie/Perry era. I would give almost anything to see Journey perform a few bangers with Rolie just like they did here.
They are numerous Journey Through Time videos on YT. Deen is doing the Perry parts (and sounds great).
What a great song to start with!👍😊 Happy 50th
Love seeing the EVH logo in the background on Neal's amps. Awesome jam with Lukather! We need to appreciate these guys while we have them here!
🥰👍Yes and AMEN❣️😇🙏❤️🔥
Twice inducted the Rock hall of fame. Legend!
Sooooo good to see and hear Gregg!!! Pure Journey…heartbroken that Steve isn’t there.😔 Love Arnel-he’s wonderful but this needs Steve P❤️🩹
Poor Steve….must have been feeling that way, lol.
@@rpskaza A spark is all he needs!
Journey 2023 rocks. Glad gregg rolie is back. Reminds me of journey through time. Great to hear vintage journey catalog songs. God bless🙏
Bringing Dean and Greg back really takes you back to some of the best times ever to be alive! Real music from the soul will never be replaced by A.I reproduction. There is a magic there that can never be touched.
That would be Steve Smith and Greg
I just LOVE this, keep watching over and over.
I was hoping so bad that Gregg would return and tour and even though I probably won't get to see him in person as I don't think he's going on regular tour with them I am in the Chicago area it's a dream come true to see him on stage again with Neil Sean.. this just Thrills me to the core of my soul Journey was my first concert of my life back in '79 I was able to see them and was spoiled for life so this is a dream come true for me to see Gregg back up there!
So great to see Gregg Rolie performing Journey songs again. I’ve missed his contribution to the overall sound. And get a load of that singing drummer! Who would’ve thought?!
This brings me back to seeing them performing live in 1980!
That's Deen Castronovo. He can do all the songs that are too high for Arnel ('Mother Father', etc.). Also, speaking of singing drummers, Steve Perry actually is one too. Most people don't know he started out as a drummer and is quite a good one. Cheers!
@@omnipop4936 By definition, not a singing drummer if he wasn’t singing while drumming. (Or that we know he did them together.)
I saw these guys on the Infinity tour in 1979 when I was 10. I remember Greg Rollie specifically. “I’m sitting here with my arms a mile wide”
Me too! Infinity tour 1978. Amazing show!! I was 17. 😊
Wow! To hear Gregg sing Black Magic Woman again after all these years made me head straight to the old Santana video clips on You Tube
Gregg is the real deal!!! Love this!!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥😘🔥🔥🔥🔥Gregg sounds amazing!!! One of my all time favorite bands!! 🖤
He sounds great 👍
Awesome! Glad Gregg came but, Deen is absolutely awesome his voice! 🥰
Good stuff. All respect to Gregg! I am thankful Deen has helped keep this band going for 25 years. Having an awesome drummer like him with the vocal prowess he has is such a huge asset for Neal and the gang. Great stuff!
I thought it was the discovery of a new singer to replace Perry that kept the band going and introduced it to new fans not just in the US but also around the globe. Until Pineda arrived on the scene, I have not heard of Journey or its songs but now here in the Philippines Journey songs are the favorite of Karaoke singers.
While they were searching for a lead vocalist, Deen had to do all the shows singing lead for all the songs while playing the drums at the same time. That's why you still see him singing lead on a few tunes like "Mother, Father" to give Pineda a break during the show. Deen has the best voice in the band, but you have to have a lead man in a band like Journey to run around the stage and get the crowd going like Pineda does.@@MARISSAFEHERRADURA
Arnel can sing without journey. He can go to bonjovi if ever. Thanks Arnel for contributed your voice to the journey band for 15years. Filipino still support you
Greg gets pitchy never a great singer
arnel is a lounge singer and a copy of Steve Perry at best. listen to vintage Perry, Arnel cant even come close
@@michaelcourtney9831
Envious of you😁😁😁
Trueeee
@@lolabebzdiysewiteasylearne5286 yeah you’re right. Fan of Steve perry can’t accept that Arnel can sing really good. Arnel is versatile singer. Who can do that? At his age 50’s still every night tour🥴🥴🥴 people should realize how humble and his dedication with this band . We Filipino truly appreciate him and support him all the way. There is no such thing to compare between of those two singers because Steve is Steve and Arnel is Arnel. Two singers support each other 😂😂 only a fan compares 😂
So nice to see Gregg performing with them again. There would be no Journey without Gregg.
No perry,no REAL jorney......just a coverband is all that remains
Hardly! Good voice, nice guy but no, long way from The Voice! Now that night is over, watch Neal drop Greg like shot potato!
@@nofilter.906 just like Kiss, Foreigner and so many others. Greg was a cofounder, Steve wasn't.
@@markbirchette8740 true,but Gregg was JUST....the musical talent part,he wasnt the " VOICE " that made journey,he didnt have the voice that would make you want to sing along with....nothing unique or memorable about gregg......so Gregg was nothing more then just,,,a musician......he wasnt a STEVE PERRY!!!!!!.....this is fact aswell....I think you know what I mean...
@@nofilter.906 Seen Journey many times with Steve, yes he HAD a great voice. Exactly why they found a sound alike in Arnel. My only point in the original comment was it was nice to see Greg performing with the band he helped start. Nothing more, nothing less. I wasn't comparing him to anyone unlike you. I was giving the man credit where it was due. Steve cant sing anymore, especially like he did in the 80s Greg can still hit the same notes he did in the 70s long before Perry saved Journey. Steve can't anymore. It happens. Paul Stanley, Rob Halford, etc. Aging was kind to Greg because he didn't sing in high registers, and why he can still hit the same notes.
