Journey Concert at Lake Tahoe!

It has been a such a busy summer for us that I thought I better update everyone on what we have been doing the last two months. I decided we needed to go to a concert and have some fun - like the old days when I was in back in high school. I heard that my favorite group - Journey - was coming to Lake Tahoe with Cheap Trick and Heart. The concert was already sold out but I kept checking and found someone selling their tickets.

(for twice the price, oh well!!)

Downtown Lake Tahoe

The Tahoe Queen

Lunch at the Riva Grille overlooking the lake Heavenly Ski Resort Lifts

Time to go to the concert!! All three bands were most popular in the 80's. I did see Heart in Detroit and later saw the original Journey with my brother, Jim, in Phoenix. Had to buy souveneirs - 2 t-shirts for $40 each and a coffee mug for $15 - a little pricey!!

Cheap Trick

Cheap Trick - "Surrender" - Remember this line - "got my KISS records out"?

Heart - Ann & Nancy Wilson - one of the first girl hard rock bands!

Heart - "Barracuda"

Heart - "Crazy Over You" What a voice range!

The highlight of the evening - JOURNEY!! The original members of Journey found the new lead singer, Arnel Pineda, on the internet on Youtube and invited him from the Phillipines to come to the U.S. and audition. He sounds just like Steve Perry!

Journey - "Separate Ways" - If you listen closely, you can hear me singing in the background. I sang the whole time and my voice got a little hoarse!

Journey - "Wheel In The Sky"

Journey - "Be Good To Yourself" - Arnel sure is a peppy guy!

Journey - "Loving, Touching, Squeezing"
