Obviously there will be differing opinions on this, but yeah -- I think they should quit. Start another band. Or at least don't go around calling yourself Journey when the main draw of a Journey show isn't to be had. Call it the Journey Experience or some shit. When Mark Sandman died, Morphine toured briefly as Orchestra Morphine. Roger Waters touring a Pink Floyd album has always billed himself as Roger Waters and not Pink Floyd, which David Gilmour never had the decency to do. Or how about James Mercer trying to pass a bunch of disinterested librarians off as The Shins? I certainly wasn't fooled. I see what you're saying..."The Journey Experience" or whatever sounds like a fair compromise. Although I don't think they are really trying to trick anyone? Reminds me of The Guess Who, because "The Guess Who" are still touring, but it is only the bass player and the drummer....who didn't write any of the music. Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings (the songwriters, and by all accounts...The Guess Who) tour together as the "Bachman-Cummings Experience" because they have no legal rights to the name "The Guess Who'. So strange.

"Guess Who sings this song."
"I don't know, who?"
That game never gets old.

Just one random date in the middle of the tour for some reason. I'm expecting the Seattle show to get cancelled though. Less than two weeks and Randy is still being held.

Not gonna lie. Despite the garbage he's released for the better part of the past decade, I'd still love to see Tiesto sometime. I'm desperate for a big trance show, and the only one in the near future is Paul van Dyk on a weeknight and I would have no one to go with anyway.

I noticed that PVD was going to finally be in the PNW. I told myself I was going to see him as soon as he was, but probably won't make it. I noticed he is playing in some new club or something. What is up with that place?

Well, apparently that venue keeps pushing back it's opening day, so there's a chance it might end up getting canceled or postponed anyway.

Looks like Boise's EDM scene is finally getting recognized. Kascade, Pretty Lights, and now Bassnectar are finally hitting Boise when they've skipped it before. I've watched the EDM scene here take off, mostly from the outside looking in but I'm a firm believer you'll have a damn hard time finding an EDM scene more tightly knit and awesome.

I just noticed on facebook that the Amon Tobin show in Seattle is being advertised to be at the Moore Theatre now. Lack of ticket sales most likely. I thought the one in Portland would be sold out by now in a venue that size.

That's SUCH a better venue for ISAM!
