And "Walks Like a Lady" becomes a psychedelic blues opus with Schon tearing through a muscular intro. With Schon on board, and in fine form, the quintet also resurrects a healthy portion of post-Perry deep digs such as the "Feelin' That Way"/"Anytime" diptych from Infinity, "Line of Fire," "Lady Luck," "Lovin' You is Easy," "People and Places" and "Just the Same Way." "Daydream" is extended with a bass solo by Mendoza and a quick quote from the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood," while "La Do Da" ends with Mendoza and Castronovo bouncing on each other. Journey Through Time offers up the whole show - nearly two hours and 45 minutes - and digs generously into the catalog, all the way back to the ferocious "Of a Lifetime," the first song from the first album, and the instrumental "Kohutek," hard-hitters such as "I'm Gonna Leave You" and "Mystery Mountain," and a late-show triumvirate of "You're On Your Own," "Hustler" and "Nickel and Dime." That's not meant to slight the more polished act Journey has become, but it's nice to hear the music treated with a more expansive touch.Īnd there's a lot of it. Everybody onstage here is in good shape and a player, allowing the group to extend and vamp like a jam band in the grand Bay Area tradition. The Journey universe since the band's earliest days. The group played live dates during 2019 as well, but Journey Through Time comes from that first show, which has an agreeably rough-and-tumble quality and a looseness that hasn't been part of But there are a lot of Journey songs that have been left behind over time, especially in concert, which is the reason to be excited about guitarist Neal Schon's Journey Through Time.Īn ad-hoc quintet was put together to play a 2018 benefit in San Francisco for North Bay Fire Relief, with Schon recruiting former Santana bandmate and fellow Journey originator Gregg Rolie and then former drummer Deen Castronovo, along with bassist Marco Mendoza and second keyboardist John Varn. It's the songs, not the singer, that make the music move along in this case. Just look at attendances for shows this past year as proof that they still connect a quarter century after parting ways with Steve Perry. Please message me for further details.PLEASE READ!

He wanted something very Irish and Celtic without any twee ‘diddley-oi’ connotations. Philip just loved the border and was determined to use so I got the go-ahead to proceed to final artwork. The original design had the neo-Celtic metallic border with a warrior figure in the center. Echoes of the ‘Nightlife’ panther are here too but we always felt the central image reflected the idea of the ‘outsider’ -something that appealed to both of us. I thought I had better put the fox in after they rejected the ideas of a cut-out with the foxes head showing through. ‘No one will notice, Jim, the album will be massive.’ He said. ‘Eh, Philip, There’s no such title on the track list…’ I volunteered, pointing out the obvious.
