Release Robin's Bra
Well, it appears that I'm going to be driving through a hurricane. So this should be a bit of an adventure. The Green Dot is where I'm going and the first show in Alabama starts Saturday at around 8:00.
Here's to me hopefully not dying on the highway. But if I do die on the way from one fish show to another, that would be a pretty good way to go out so I don't think I'd complain that much about it.

And the Phish Saturday show just got moved to Monday. Makes sense cuz it was supposed to be really fucking rainy all Saturday. And it's good news now because I won't have to do the 8-hour drive from Jacksonville to Huntsville in the same day that I'm going to the show. So I'll have some time to relax and find a hotel and what not.

I've been to Huntsville on business. It's pretty boujee for the deep south.

We saw Mellencamp's play Small Town yesterday. It was fantastic, full of Broadway actors, and all his music. Mrs. Scotch was in heaven.This news couldn't be tailored any better to Mrs. Scotch if you tried...

One of the announcers on ClassicRewind mentioned it was in Maine and wanted to hear from anyone who had seen it. I was wondering if it was close enough to you to see it and whether you would be interested. Glad you enjoyed it. Hoping it or a version of it makes its way up here.

Months ago, when we heard that it was premiering at the Ogunquit Playhouse (which is right on the border of our town), we were floored. I'm sure it will make its way to other cities eventually.
BTW, Mrs. Scotch bought the mini-poster.

A few weeks ago I went to a touring show called "Frizzi 2 Fulci" - it's the film composer & his band playing music from the scores he did for director Lucio Fulci ( a favorite of mine ), The show was in a run down church, which was a cool place to see the gory movie clips & hear the spooky music.

This show was tonight.
This was the concert I won on the radio back in May. The seats awarded were good not great -- upper bowl with an almost direct view of the stage but slightly angled. I went with my son, This was our second time seeing them. My review of them then is below. It applies again for the most part.
This concert was called "The Final Frontier". Once the tour is over, it appears they are done touring. Take that with a grain of salt of course. This time around they had no opening act. They played a lot of their deeper cuts. If you were a die hard Journey fan this would have been a huge plus. For a casual fan, not so much. The first half of the show was uninspiring. I laugh at my comments about the solos. This time they added the drum solo. My least favourite kind. Of the 3 the piano was most tollerable but I think I have mentioned I don't like them. I understand that this is when the rest of the band is taking a piss and getting a drink but I still find them annoying.
Setlist:
1. Be Good to Yourself
2. Oh Canada (keyboard & guitar instrumental)
3. Stone in Love
4. Ask the Lonely
5. Only the Young
6. Just the Same Way
7. Patiently
8. Lights
9. Of a Lifetime
10. Escape
11. La Do Da
(Drum Solo)
12. Girl Can't Help It
13. Edge of the Blade
14. Precious Time
15. Chain Reaction
16. Anytime
17. Dead or Alive
(Piano Solo)
18. Who's Crying Now
19. Open Arms
29. Keep On Runnin'
21. Suzanne
(Guitar Solo)
22. Wheel in the Sky
23. Faithfully
24. Don't Stop Believin'
25. Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'
26. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)
27. Any Way You Want It
Again why not close with "Don't Stop Believing"? At least this time it wasn't song #3. That song still has an emotional trigger in me. The "Oh Canada" was unexpected. At first we thought it was just a couple bars. But when we realized they were doing the whole thing we all stood up and a lot of us sang. As far as I know the band has no Canadian roots so this was completely unexpected.
3 years has added a bit of age to the Korean guy. He seemed to be less of a distraction this time. He also did not sing every song. The other members would occasionally do the lead vocals. These were on the songs included this time but not the last.
The Korean guy was having some issues with some of the lyrics. He sort of Paul Simoned "Faithfully" (not keeping up with the music/tempo as Paul did at his concert we saw earlier). My son thought it was because he was having an inappropriate relationship with his mic stand. He wanted to yell out "get a room" a couple of times.
ETA: the video show at the back of the stage was quite impressive. It started 30 minutes before the show when they displayed a countdown. When it got close, "Jukebox Hero" came on the house sound system. When it reached about 30 seconds they switched to the guitar opening of "Baba O'Reily". They had a good graphics show opening the show. They split the screen into 3 (1 big, 2 smaller onthe side) for most of the show after that where they would show 3 different band members at the same time. Sometimes on the middle screen they would show some other graphics including shots of older Journey concerts.
My son and I both agreed that the show was worth the price we paid for it., If we had shelled out the $125/seat ourselves, we may have been more disappointed.

Did the instrumental solos coincide with these songs? If so, that'd be a good excuse to go out for a long smoke break.

I don't smoke. The solos are listed. Only one is adjacent to a recognizable song. But this only works because I have previous setlist so I know what to expect for the most part. I would have taken a leak during one of them if I had the need. However, even though I was not familiar with these songs does not mean I found them bad. I always prefer to recognize songs at concerts but it is not always possible. And like I said, some Journey fans would have been thrilled with all the deep cuts. They played all their hits so its not like they can go out and create more that I would recognize.

"Send Her My Love" was in the setlist I had printed as a guide. They may be rotating some in and out day by day.

Makes sense. Don't want a stale playlist for those who attend more than one show. I opened for Shinedown, then saw them again the next night. It was a photocopy. Lame.
