Journey, Heart & Cheap Trick Concert!

On Friday night Steve & I went to Cheap Trick, Heart & Journey! It was their second concert of their tour together. It was such an awesome show & the weather was perfect for the outdoor venue.

On Saturday afternoon we went to eat at a German Deli which was right across the street from where the band was staying. We saw the lead guitarist for Cheap Trick (Rick Nielsen on the left of the picture) and he came into the restaurant to get some grub to go. Steve was so excited...he went over and talked to him and Rick gave him a guitar pic. Rick has been known for his cool guitar collection. He pulled out this 5 necked guitar at the concert and it was soooooo cool! Then...about 20 minutes later I saw a guy that kind of stood out and I asked Steve...is this someone else in the band? Yes...the Lead Vocalist for the band Cheap Trick... Robin Zander! He decided to eat at the restaurant and before we left, we stopped by and told him what a great show last night's concert was. Steve asked if he could get a picture with him and he said "Well, I'm eatting lunch, but sure!" So I snapped a picture of the two! He was really nice to let us interrupt his meal! Anyway, the band line up on Friday night was Cheap Trick, Heart and Journey. Ann & Nancy Wilson did a great job and sounded just like they did 20 years ago! Ann's voice is amazing and has great range and Nancy rocked it on the guitar all night! They were really fun to watch.
They closed the concert with Journey. We were a little hesitant on how Journey would be because Steve Perry (lead vocalist) hasn't been in the band for quite some time..and you always worry when a band member has been replaced that it won't sound the same. Well, the band found this guy on YouTube and he's AMAZING!! He's from the Phillippines and joined the band last December! He's an awesome performer and had the huge crowd on their feet the whole time!
