Journey is preparing for the final stretch of a farewell tour that begins its last leg in Los Angeles in September and ends in San Francisco in November. The closing show is expected to be especially meaningful because the band formed in San Francisco.
Neal Schon, Journey’s co-founder and lead guitarist, said the finale will likely be emotional. He also said the audience in San Francisco is expected to be especially energetic.
The tour includes stops in cities such as Phoenix, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, Denver and Las Vegas. The final San Francisco date will cap more than 100 concerts the band performs this year.
Journey’s set lists have included both major hits and deeper cuts from its catalog, and many shows run for more than two hours. The band has credited songs such as "Faithfully," "Open Arms," "Who’s Crying Now" and "Don’t Stop Believin'" with helping define its long career.
Journey为这支摇滚乐队或将是最后一次同台巡演的最后一程做准备
Journey正在为告别巡演的最后一段行程做准备，这一段将于9月从洛杉矶开始，并在11月于旧金山结束。收官演出被认为会格外有意义，因为乐队正是在旧金山成立的。
联合创始人兼主音吉他手Neal Schon表示，最后一场演出很可能会带有情绪色彩。他还说，旧金山的观众预计会非常热情。
这次巡演还将到访凤凰城、西雅图、芝加哥、亚特兰大、纳什维尔、巴尔的摩、费城、底特律、波士顿、克里夫兰、丹佛和拉斯维加斯等城市。旧金山的最终演出将为乐队今年超过100场演出收尾。
Journey的演出曲目既包括代表性热门歌曲，也包括目录中的深度曲目，而且很多场次持续两小时以上。乐队的长期代表作包括《Faithfully》《Open Arms》《Who’s Crying Now》和《Don’t Stop Believin'》。
