Journey’s “Final Frontier” tour, made a stop at Kentucky’s Rupp Arena, in Lexington, on Sunday, March 22nd. There was not an opening band, so attendees were treated to a full 2 ½ hour show. Arnel Pineda’s vocals were high energy and pumped up the fans with nostalgia from a much-loved band. Many fans were especially excited for Neal Schon’s mythic guitar playing. Viewed as a farewell tour, the band played many classic hits mixed in with deeper cuts. Some of the favorites from the setlist included: “Only the Young”, “When You Love a Woman”, “Faithfully”, “Wheel in the Sky”, “Any Way You Want It”, and the band’s anthem, “Don’t Stop Believin’. This farewell tour could have relied upon the hard core fans love of the music and their feelings of nostalgia, but the band provided a high intensity stage show with audience engagement and pyrotechnics.
The complete setlist for the night looks as this: Be Good to Yourself, Stone in Love, Only the Young, Just the Same Way (Jonathan Cain & Deen Castronovo on lead vocals), Girl Can’t Help It (Jason Derlatka on lead vocals), Lights (Deen Castronovo on lead vocals), When You Love a Woman, Escape, Chain Reaction, Dead or Alive, Who’s Crying Now, Wheel in the Sky (With extended jam/pyro), Faithfully, Feeling That Way (Jonathan Cain & Deen Castronovo on lead vocals), Anytime (Jonathan Cain & Deen Castronovo on lead vocals), Where Were You (Tour debut; Deen Castronovo on lead vocals), Ask the Lonely, I’ll Be Alright Without You (Jason Derlatka on lead vocals), Open Arms, Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’ (With extended blues jam), La Do Da (10 minute jam with teases of “How Many More Times”, “Break On Through”, & “Be-Bop-a-Lula”), Separate Ways (Worlds Apart), Any Way You Want It and Don’t Stop Believin’…
