Zoo Concerts

[Lurker34]

Here's my guess on the upcoming Concert season

Boston
Joe Cocker
Foreigner
Billy Squier
Cheap Trick
Steve Miller
Journey
Heart
Def Leopard
REO Speedwagon

There's not that many bands touring this season. Must be the gas prices.

[bretthexum]

Those would be good, but I am hoping for a band that is from this century.

we have those too, but they play the Ford..... or Coca-Cola......

[NikonNurse]

Can't see journey without steve perry, just can't do it.

[Karried]

Ha.. exactly my thoughts!! I'm still kicking myself for not seeing them when Steve Perry was the lead..... Journey brings back so many memories! Even today, I can't hear a song of theirs without strolling down memory lane.

'Lights' 'My city by the Bay'..... San Francisco Bay Area, it's especially touching to me... just kills me!

[Karried]

Darn it..I posted this under Rocklahoma! Oh well, I'll put a different video.. this guy is simply amazing!!


Okay, this guy is just unreal!

Gives me goosebumps!

My favorite Journey song ever



The sound is a little grainy but he is spot on!

[Karried]

You have to watch the whole video.

Is your mind blown yet?

I like that list except: Boston was really only two real leaders and a back-up band. One of them, I forget which one, passed this last year so a Boston tour is probably out. At least for me. And Journey without Steve Perry isn't Journey.

[Karried]

Soonerbent, were you able to see the Video above that I posted? Hopefully, it shows up for you....

[FritterGirl]

He's awesome, but man, it's just not the same....sigh. (I found him better when I closed my eyes and just listened, than when I tried to watch him, as well).

All together now "sha na nana nana, sha na na nana, sha na nana na, na na nana na naaaaaa......

Brad Delp of Boston is the one that passed away last year. Very sad. I would have loved to see them. I actually had tickets to see them back in 1996, but the tour was cancelled because Tom Scholz got hurt (broke a hand, IIRC).

[SoonerBent]

Karried, the guy is good but he's just not the original. I've seen Kansas without Steve Walsh, REO without Kevin Cronin, etc. They all did a pretty good job of finding sound-alikes but the stage presence and the feel just isn't the same.

[OkieHornet]

Boston is scheduled to be at the Zoo June 25 (per Boston's website) with the singer from Stryper and a guy who has a Myspace page that sounds like Brad Delp as their singers...

Steve Miller/Joe Cocker is a package tour, as is the Journey/Heart/Cheap Trick show...

Putting Matthew Sweet in Boston is like putting jello on your peanut butter sandwich.

And Karried I'm sorry. That guy is a good singer, but watching him with Journey is sadly like I stepped into any asian karoake bar. Or that awful Rockstar movie with Marky Mark.

[Lurker34]

Foreigner and Billy Squier are also a package, their corporate sponsor? AARP Man, that'll made you feel old.

seriously?? that's too funny... who's singing for Foreigner these days?

i'd like to see Ringo Starr's All Starr Band come through the Zoo... Colin Hay, Edgar Winter, Billy Squier... can't remember who else is in his band this year...

[Karried]

Yeah, it was sort of surreal to see him singing Journey songs and I basically closed my eyes and just listened.. But, I just find it so amazing that he is able to emulate Steve Perry's voice ( which is so unique) is such a fantastic way.... I don't really care what he looks like ( I never thought Steve Perry was all that attractive anyway, lol ) ... he is good and if he comes to the Zoo, I'll be there.

[MikeLucky]

Michael, not Matthew.... Matthew Sweet would be REALLY weird.....

For you Office Space fans:

I'll be honest with you, I love his music, I do, I'm a Michael Sweet fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "To Hell With The Devil."

[kmf563]

Oh yeah, Matthew was the brother who played drums. Same difference. Still wouldn't pay money to see that.

Actually the drummer for Stryper was Robert Sweet....

THIS is Matthew Sweet..... and it would be hilarious to hear him front a classic rock band..... He's good and all, but it would be jello and peanut butter...... or like Jewel fronting the Spice Girls.... LOL

Matthew Sweet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[kmf563]

holy crap. I didn't even know Stryper was still going.

I left them back in the eighties where they belong.

Any of the Sweet family with Boston would be like adding Jello.

Just let it go. Boston was a great band. Let it rest in peace.

Speaking of 80's bands, the B-52's myspace says they're playing at the zoo.

[Jacob_Daddy]

The B-52's are.

And R-E-O and Night Ranger
Steve Miller and Joe Cocker
Cindy Lauper, B-52's, Joann Jett and the Blackhearts,
Boston and Styx
Journey, Heart and Cheap Trick

according to ZooAmp.com

I think I would rather masturbate with a cheese grater than go to that show.....

but maybe that's just me.....

[Karried]

Journey - 100% sure I'm going.

Boston - ??

I think so...

'More than a Feeling'

yeah, I love Boston.
