Review: I've been a fan of Journey for over 25 years...this incarnation of Journey, my friends, is less than. The production is flawless, and thus, the 1 star rating.

The recent rash of 5 star reviews has been due to fans from the official H Journey message board padding the review stats here. The Journey 'Street Team', as they call themselves - discredit everything that Steve Perry has done, and totally WORSHIP Steve Augeri...

The new singer on this DVD, Steve Augeri - former singer of Tall Stories, and the subpar Tyketto - can't seem to hit the notes that 'The Voice' can.

And although the NEW songs aren't neccesarily 'bad', they can't recapture the magic that was once JOURNEY.

So please look at these reviews with a skeptic eye. These are biased, Steve Augeri puppets.....

Summary: OFF THE CHAIN!!!!
Review: Back in the early 80's, I admired Journey. Among so many other groups that had more of a canned and prepackaged sound, Journey had the distinctive sound of Steve Perry. And the beauty of his vocal style was that it was so difficult to do and he made it sound so easy. I had a cover band that tried to do some of their hits. But as good as my lead singer was, "Open Arms" would kill his voice. Perry was unmatched in the 80s.

It's too bad the polyps destroyed his vocal cords and forced him to retire all too soon. I'd thought the ending fate for Journey was sealed. So I cherished the old albums and CDs in the collection like so much objet d'art.

And along comes this Augeri dude, with an identical delivery and a similar stage presence. And suddenly, Journey is as strong as ever. With basically the same lineup, and Neal Schon taking more risks and boosting his input, the band never sounded better. And that's good news.

This is a hugely awesome concert. The sound quality is tremendous and full. The quality of the recording is outstanding. Their energy bursts from the screen. And all their old familiar hits are right there, peppier and livelier than the studio versions, the band hitting you in the face with the power of their musicianship, tightness and selection.

I highly recommend to all Journey fans and to those who may not be old enough to remember them in their old prime. They're in their resurrected prime now!! Get this one and be transported to a place where you'll be entertained "Faithfully".

Summary: Awesome DVD!
Review: Journey 2001 DVD is awesome! The quality is clear & crisp. The concert is superb. The band just gets better and better! The chemistry of the current line-up is like watching brothers and best friends having a lot of fun together on stage.

I love watching Steve Augeri's performance. His singing of the classics that we all love is perfection. It is obvious that he loves and respects the music. I also noticed Steve Augeri's connection with the audience. They love him and he loves his audience. His dance moves are so smooth. I love watching his performance. He is the perfect frontman for Journey.

Journey 2001 DVD is a must have for anyone who loves Journey ~ who are discovering Journey for the first time or rediscovering Journey again. Two thumbs up!!!
