Well, it finally happened. Neal Schon brought us Journey Through Time, a concert to benefit California fire victims. It all went down last Friday at The Independent in San Francisco. The show sold out in minutes, and featured Schon along with Journey alumni Gregg Rollie & Deen Castronovo, plus Marco Mendoza & John Varn. The band played two sets of Journey deep cuts, along with some hits, culled mostly from the 70's-early 80's era. Rollie sand lead for the band before the arrival of Steve Perry, but still had some standout lead vocal/duet songs such as Feeling That Way/Anytime, Just The Same Way, and Loving You Is Easy, all performed on this special night. Castronovo, in the midst of a second chance at life (he was derailed by legal/addiction issues) shines, handling all the Perry vocals with a joyous gusto that eases the fact that Perry himself didn't take part. The show was filmed and a home release is expected. Neal goes back to his day job touring this summer along with Def Leppard. No word on if Journey Through Time will be a going concern beyond that.
