A Journey back in time

So tickets for Journey are going on sale for the Waikoloa Bowl. I’ve told folks that I’ve photographed Journey before, twice, and the second time I met the guys and got autographs from their previous island concert on Oahu. So here’s a little proof, a photo of the boys on stage along with their autographs on it.

By this time they had replaced keyboardist Greg Rollie with Jonathan Cain and when they looked through my concert photo album and saw Rollie’s photo they pointed at it and said, “There’s Bird.” So maybe that was their nickname for Rollie? They also saw a photo I have of Carlos Santana and they called Schon over to take a good look saying, “He’s got a photo of Carl.” Since Schon and Rollie both had played in the Carlos Santana band it’s not surprising they were interested in my Santana photos.

They are great showmen, have a great sound and no doubt will do a great job at the Waikoloa venue. Ticket prices aren’t the same as they were in the 80’s but I’m sure it isn’t cheap putting these shows on. I started off as a concert photographer, which is why I have plenty of concert photos, so maybe I’ll have to give Tom Moffat’s office a call and update my Journey pics this time around with new singer Arnel Pineda and drummer Deen Castronovo. (I only have photos of drummer Steve Smith, back when he had hair)
