MR

Just got home form the Darien Lake (Buffalo) show and Deen the Drummer was nowhere to be found. A few songs into the set Jeff Scott Soto mentioned how Deen ate some bad fish in CT. and was unable to play so his drum tech ended up on drums for the whole show. Is this now just a cover band plus Neal & Jonathan?

Kiss did that on their reunion tour when drum tech Eddie Cannon filled in for Peter Criss.

It's a better choice than cancelling a show. The show must go on, and I applaud the band for being able to play for the people in Buffalo.

Jim rocks!! Be happy you got the show. I hope Deen feels better soon, food poisoning.... YUK!!

Yeah, that Ross guy they borrowed from the Holiday Inn circuit.

If it smells like fish, it's a dish, if it smells like cologne, leave it alone..

Better we cancel the show right? Then it would have been 16,000 pissed off people & 1 less smart ass comment!

Techs to some degree are like understudies in stage shows - if something happens to #1, you go to #2. THis isn't a big deal. Be thankful someone could step in and still hold it together.

It seems they could use a food taster....

Jeff, You can't please eevryone!
You do the best you can to do the right thing.
That's all you can do...

Glad you didn;t eat the fish...

Well, I could do that too! A nurses job is usually very broadly defined. (again no comment yulog)

What a dumb comment!

Hardly a big deal. Just because the situation with Augeri isn't as clear as it might have been doesn't mean there's some conspiracy going on or Journey is any less of a band. The drummer got ill...no biggie.

I love the comeback, Jeff!!! I hope Deen is feeling better.

That says it all right there. I applaud Journey for going on with the show. Not all bands would have. Hey Joe, you've NEVER missed a day of work because you were sick?

Jeff sang everything and in my opinion was awesome. The drumming was decent but as any true fan could tell it lacked Deen's driving power. As for being a cover band it was just a joke..but a true statement that my Brother said who was not happy missing Deen and his fave singer Augeri...calm down jeesh!!!

sorry but you put it out there--as some one who was put out... dont say it if you dont mean it... unless you disclaim it first...
BTW-- Loved JSS comment!!

LOL, good one.......just gotta love this guy!

Deen seems to miss a few...
When I saw them, Mugs Cain was drumming. Gee. Neat... That was back in 98 or something. Dissapointment as the band was looking at him all night for cues...

Bet the fans were pissed at no Open Arms, no Faithfully.

Jim is an amazing drummer and is more than capable of stepping in when the need arises. Fans should be thankful the show went on at all. It seems with some, this band can't win no matter what they do. It's just a band, folks...not life or death.

that would just about be a plus for me!! Would love to see those two traded out for Send her my love or WCTNGF.

Hey, I am a nurse, RN BSN, ACLS, and ACLS instructor, BLS, and BLS instructor, anything I can do, just let me know. Food born illness can be very serious, I am just glad that the tech was able to fill in. I would rather have a tech than no show anyday of the week. Get well soon Deen.

I think its totally cool they gave the drum tech. the job for the night, right on! touring night after night has got to be mentally and physically exhausting! Their are men, not robots. The flying, driving, setting up, quick meals, late nights, being "on" all the time. I'm sure the benefits are great too The techs. should have some fun for the job they do-they want to live their "dreams" too. The keyboard/piano tech. is gorgeous! He toured with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw and I would have loved to seen him play piano while Jon kept over on the guitar. Anyway, stupid comment about the "cover band" cause you are seeing Journey and thier music and all that goes with, not just the 5 main dudes

The show must go on! By the way, Jeff, I hear Roanoke, Virginia hasn't gotten a chance to see Journey lately, hint hint nod nod!

And just to be on the safe side...all the band members are welcome to come over for dinner! I only know how to make hamburger helper, but hey...it rocks!

Jim is a great guy! Spoke to him in Vegas and he was pretty excited that Rocko & The Devils were opening for U2 in Hawaii in December.
