Was the writer even at the show? Journey was so terrible hundreds of people packed up and left throughout their show. Yes, they overdid it with Schon's guitar solos but he and the choruses were the only elements that sounded like Journey. Arnel Pineda didn't sound ANYTHING like Steve Perry. How could the writer claim he sounded like Perry? I've heard karaoke in bars where the singer sounded more like Perry. And his stage presence wasn't "rock star", it was more like a 13 year old jumping around and waving his arms. He was horrendous!!! When he tried to hit one high note on Wheel in the Sky, his voice cracked and no sound came out. Many of the people around us were laughing at how bad he sounded. Easily the worst replacement front man I've every seen. Ever.At least Foreigner sounded like Foreigner even though they had no original band members. If you closed your eyes and listened, they sounded pretty close. If you closed your eyes and listened to Pineda butcher Steve Perry, it sounded like you were at a junior high school dance listening to a bad cover band.An absolutely terrible review.
