Journey is preparing for the final stretch of a farewell tour that the band is presenting as a possible last run together. The closing leg begins in Los Angeles in September and finishes in San Francisco in November, with the final show likely to carry added weight because the band started in the Bay Area.
Neal Schon, the band's co-founder and lead guitarist, said the San Francisco ending is likely to be emotional. He said he expects the audience there to be especially energetic, and he described the current tour as the kind of Journey show he has wanted to do.
The tour schedule includes major stops across the United States, including Phoenix, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, Denver and Las Vegas. Journey is expected to play more than 100 concerts this year, and its set lists have mixed familiar hits with deeper album cuts.
Journey为可能是乐队最后一次共同巡演的收官阶段做准备
Journey正在为告别巡演的最后阶段做准备，这轮巡演被宣传为乐队可能共同完成的最后一次大型行程。收官段将于9月在洛杉矶开始，11月在旧金山结束，而最终场因为地点与乐队的起点相关，预计会具有额外意义。
乐队联合创始人兼主音吉他手Neal Schon表示，旧金山的收官演出很可能会带有情绪色彩。他说，预计当地观众会非常热烈，并称这轮巡演正是他一直想以Journey名义呈现的演出方式。
巡演行程包括美国多座城市，如凤凰城、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、克利夫兰、丹佛和拉斯维加斯等。报道说，Journey今年预计演出将超过100场，曲目安排既有广为人知的热门歌，也包括专辑深度曲目。
