Well I went to see Styx, Foreigner and Journey at Wembley on saturday night and
I gotta say WOW those old boys sure know how to ROCK Cool

Styx's vocalist STILL has the same pitch voice as in their 80's heyday – just amazing

Foreigner were actually a lot more hard rocking than I remember,
unfortunately the sound mixing engineer fluffed his job quite a bit -
though it really didn't detract from what was a 1st class performance

Journey – unbelievable!! Their new lead singer (found on YouTube of all
places) is just amazing he sure has some lungs on him at lent them a
quite a rocky edge the lead guitarist (Neal Schon IIRC) was a genius and
the drummer surprised by not only being very, very good but also doing
lead vocals (exceedingly well) while belting the skins off the drums (ok
I know before y'all say it Phil Collins was doing this a few years back
but it still takes some talent to do this!)

Now BC do appeal (though isn't their lead singer now dead?)… am I also correct in thinking that BC were formed out of The Skids? If that is the case what chance of a couple of Skids numbers??!?!?!?!??
