I saw Journey, Foreigner, and Night Ranger last night. It was a pretty good concert. Felt kind of odd, though, because it’s the first arena show I’ve been to in years. Sitting down the entire time was weird, but kind of nice.

Here are some random thoughts I had during the show last night:

• If none of the original members are in the band, is it really that band? Or it is basically a cover band?
• Is it common for deaf people to attend rock concerts? I was really surprised to see a sign language interpreter down on the floor.
• Does anyone actually like it when bands play stuff from their new (usually unreleased) albums? It takes me a couple listens of a song or an album to really appreciate it, so I really don’t enjoy hearing new stuff at concerts.
• Is it really necessary to shriek like a banshee? It sounded like the girl behind me was getting attacked. And she about did, by my fist.
