Paul McCartney - Live and Let Die / Hey Jude (Edmonton Nov 28 2012)

Thank you, Sir Paul, for braving Edmonton's icy cold and giving two of my friends the time of their lives. Due to circumstances I could not be there, but next time I'll try harder. And I have to thank you on another front as well, for allowing these clips to stay up on the 'Tube. It is obvious that you understand that your millions of fans aren't out to make money off the footage, but simply want to share the experience you give them. 

Merry Christmas, one and all!

JOURNEY live in Edmonton - Encore: LOVIN', TOUCHIN', SQUEEZIN'

When I heard that Journey was coming to Edmonton, I was thrilled. Until I hit the band website and saw that Steve Perry had quit the band in 2007. Who's this Arnel guy, I wondered. No way was I going if Steve wasn't there.

With this clip, I see that Arnel Pineda is a man who, without aping Perry, works his butt off to hit the notes that the Journey classics demand, all while keeping his energy and crowd interaction at a fever pitch. Given the astronomical ticket prices these days, I really can't say if I'll be there next time. But it'll be a bucket list item for sure!
