Truly enjoyed their performance. They sounded just like Journey and the band was great. I would definitely go back and see them again.
Amazing band. They play really well and the lead singer was great. He has big shoes to fill trying to emulate Steve Perry's iconic voice, but he did a superb job. I am too young to have had the chance to see Journey perform live. Seeing Journey Unauthorized was a very nice way to hear Journey's great songs performed live. Very glad I went.
They nailed it during each and every song!".....................................
I bought the tickets earlier around January & it had a free entrance to the fair. I didn't expect much for a tribute band but damn they were good! Keep rocking guys!
i've seen them several times at the OC Fair, and had a blast every time! They are very talented, sound just like the real band, and know how to get the audience on their feet. They are a little bit campy, which makes it even more fun!!
Journey Unauthorized pulls out all the stops to deliver a fantastic show! I enjoyed every second of it and didn't want it to end. These guys are all super talented musicians and they performed all of the Journey hits perfectly! The real key to being able to sound like Journey is in the vocals, and their amazing singer really does sound like Steve Perry! Their attention to detail, not only to the sound but also to the look and the moves creates a wonderful mesmerizing time-warp experience for the audience. Journey Unauthorized is an excellent tribute to Journey and their show is a delightful gift to anyone who enjoys all of those great Journey songs! Don't stop believin'!
Journey Unauthorized was a huge disappointment and waste of money, they played their music so loud which made all the songs sound distorted, couldn't understand what they were singing, and at times sounded pitchy. The lead singer appeared to be on something the way he moved around on the stage. Horrible performance in all.
fun times!!! loved reliving reo and journey music!
THE BAND LIP SINKED MOSTLY ALL THE SINGING. PEOPLE WERE LEAVING AND IT WAS ONLY ABOUT1/4 FILLED ANY WAY. I LEFT A LITTLE OVER HALF WAY THROUGH. THE SINGER THEY HIRED TO REPLACE THE GREAT STEVE PERRY WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT TO FILL THAT IN THE START, WAS NOT EVEN THERE AS THE LEAD SINGER. THEY PUT SOME GUY WITH A BAD WIG ON AND HE WAS NOT SINGING. THAT IS NOT SID TO BE MEAN EITHER. HIS OUTFIT DID NOT LOOK OR FIT WELL. OLD NIKE WORN OUT SHOES WITH DIRT UNDER THEM, THEN THAT WIG. NOT ANYTHING LIKE JOURNEY. THE BASS PLAYER A YOUNGER CUTE GUY BUT WHO WAS HE AND WAS HE PALYING-HAD A LOT OF DIFFICULTY WITH ELECTRICAL ISSUES AS HIS BASS WAS NOT WORKING DURING THE FIRST SONG. THIS IS WHAT I WOULD PAY $10.00 COVER CHARGE TO SEE AT A LOCAL SMALL BAR THAT HAS A FEW KNOWN COVERBANDS THAT SOUND LIKE THE REAL GUYS BUYT DON'T PRETEND TO BE THEM. I WOULD LIKE A PARTIAL REFUND>
Unexpected, fantastic show! Lead singer very energetic and absolutely loves what he is doing. Songs, voice and music were fantastic. We wanted more and didn't want to go home!
The band was solid and the Drummer did a very artistic and entertaining solo that made the trip worth it. The Lead Singer(front-man) was very energetic and interacted with the audience very well. The bad side is the lead singer is wearing a wig that makes him look like a cross-dresser on halloween night. Too much of a "glam" look to represent Steve Perry. He also could not hit those "magic" highs of Steve Perry. He does sound like him on the lower notes. He has a very annoying way of shaking his head up and down to create a vibreto effect. I recommend this band if you want to see a good drum solo, however, I recommend that the lead singer take off his wig and sing something within his natural range, not Jouney!!!
Was a fabulous night! Rosemont is a very clean and lovely theatre. Performers did a great job interacting with audience and making themselves accessible to the audience in participation! LOVE JOURNEY!
I liked they played almost all the journey songs and mixed it up got the crowd into it as well.
Cover Band Hi Infidelity was worth the price of admission alone. Their renditions of the most popular REO Speedwagon songs were great. Lead guitarist was sensational. Journey unauthorized was just average. They had several equipment mishaps that were distracting and annoying. The lead singer's voice was great and he is a terrific entertainer. His wardrobe was so awful that it distracted us from his great performance. THEY WERE TOO LOUD. The sound level for the opening act was perfect. The Journey group notched it up quite a bit which was totally unnecessary.
They're definately NOT Journey, but did a pretty fair immitation of the group. Played most of the Journey songs. Lead singer sounded like Steve Perry.
The opening band Hi Infidelity was amazing. They knew the songs and sounded spot on to the original. Journey Unauthorized was pretty good, but at rime appeared to not know the set list. Also a few of the songs were altered from the original which made trying to sing along a little difficult. The lead singer spent a lot of time in the audience when the balcony could not see.
I was expecting more out of a $55 ticket to say the least.
Sorry, but a middle aged overweight guy spilling out over his tux does not make Steve Perry. The band was fair but too loud for the venue. I'm glad I didn't spend over 10 bucks to see this.
The music was incredible! Sounded just like Journey! The singer had a great stage presence - coming out into the audience, going around the entire arena, singing to the people standing outside, stopping to take pictures as he sang - never missing a beat! Great show!
Excellent show. I have no idea how the lead singer can perform such a physically demanding show for one and one-half hours. These guys do a good job of recreating the real "Journey," which I saw back in the day.
