MID STATE FAIR DAY #2 - HEART & JOURNEY

The California Mid State Fair is definately two-for-two in my book.

Heart took the stage in the newly named Chumash arena for a night of 80's rock!

Btw, Heart did an unbelievable job. It's great when you go to a show and you dont even feel like you're getting an "opening act", but you feel like you're getting two legit shows. And being the cheapest seats were $50, when you include fair admission, I like that A LOT!

Journey took the stage after it was dark, and this new lead singer, Arnel Pineda, is just insane good. In case you don't know, Pineda was actually spotted on youtube singing Journey songs with his cover band (The Zoo) by Journey band member Neal Schon. That's how he got hired to the band.

In my opinion, he sounds on par if not better than Steve Perry.

My wife Cathy and I got to our seats just before Journey came on, and you're never going to guess who I sat next to....KKFX Fox 11 First at 10 news anchor Arturo Santiago. I know...I know...you don't believe me. Proof.

I really need to bring a real camera to the fair tonight. My blackberry just ain't cuttin it! All in all, I'm not sure another act is going to be able to top what we saw last night. Tim McGraw will have his chance this Sunday. I will likely not be able to go to the Tim show, but if you want to email me pics from your night, I can post them here!

Lead singer Pineda commands the stage with such conviction and style that the older songs become his and the newer tunes come across as instantly recognizable. Throw in Neil Schon's fret-burning lead guitar, Jonathan Cain's melodic piano and vocals with Ross Valory and Deen Castronovo holding down the bottom end, you have arguably the best Journey lineup to ever grace a stage.


Another positive review. Keep em' coming.

I see it, as do most others. I don't know what's wrong with everyone else.
