arnel arrives


Last week, everybody's favorite band Journey, with new lead singer Arnel Pineda—already a legend—started their U.S. Tour with a sold-out show in Denver, capacity crowd of 17,916. With some pretty big shoes to fill, Arnel apparently kicked ass: Journey @ Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre. A couple of nights later, they played another sold-out show in Salt Lake City: Journey's new singer has fans 'Believin'.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the guy does a better Steve Perry than Steve Perry! Here's some cruddy YouTube video footage from the Denver show: Journey - Don't Stop Believing at Fiddler's Green 7/9/2008. It's taken from the nosebleed seats, but you can definitely hear the audio and the size of the crowd. It's on, baby. America has Arnel Fever! To find out when Journey is coming to your town this summer, go here. (Thanks, Lillian.)
