Journey prepares for the last leg of what could be rockers' final tour together
- Journey is set to begin the final leg of its farewell tour in Los Angeles in September and end in San Francisco in November.
- Co-founder and lead guitarist Neal Schon said the San Francisco finale is likely to be emotional because it is where the band started.
- The tour includes stops in cities such as Phoenix, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, Denver and Las Vegas.
- The run will cap more than 100 concerts this year, and the band often performs for more than two hours.
- Journey is expected to mix major hits such as "Faithfully" and "Don't Stop Believin'" with deeper album cuts.
Journey is heading into the last leg of what is being billed as its farewell tour, with shows scheduled to start in Los Angeles in September and finish in San Francisco in November. Co-founder and lead guitarist Neal Schon said the final date will likely carry special emotion because the band began in San Francisco.
The tour includes a long list of U.S. stops, including Phoenix, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, Denver and Las Vegas. The run will cap more than 100 concerts this year, and the band has often been performing shows that last more than two hours.
Schon said he is pleased with the set list, which has included deeper cuts alongside the familiar hits. Journey has six Top 10 singles on the Billboard chart and eight Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, and fans can expect songs such as "Faithfully" and "Don't Stop Believin'," the latter written by Schon, keyboardist Jonathan Cain and then-lead singer Steve Perry.
Journey为这场可能是乐队最后一次共同巡演的最后一程做准备
Journey正进入其被称为告别巡演的最后一程，演出将于9月在洛杉矶开始，11月在旧金山收官。联合创始人兼主音吉他手Neal Schon说，最后一站很可能格外动情，因为乐队正是在旧金山起步。
这轮巡演的行程覆盖多座美国城市，包括凤凰城、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。整个行程将为乐队今年超过100场演出收尾，而他们的现场通常会持续两小时以上。
Schon表示，他对歌单安排感到满意，乐队在演出中会把较少演出的深度曲目与熟悉的热门作品一起带上舞台。Journey共有6首公告牌单曲榜前十歌曲和8张公告牌200强前十专辑，观众预计会听到《Faithfully》和《Don't Stop Believin'》等作品，其中后者由Schon、键盘手Jonathan Cain和当时的主唱Steve Perry共同创作。
