Tour 2008 with Journey and Cheap Trick

Journey with Heart and Cheap Trick at state fair grandstand, Aug. 23: New singer Arnel Pinada breathed a whole new life into classic rock band Journey. His vocals were a dead ringer for the biggest-name lead singer, Steve Perry, and the sold-out crowd gobbled up every note of “Open Arms,” “Don’t Stop Believing” and more.

Heart, with the powerhouse vocals of Ann Wilson, turned in a headliner-worthy set as her covers of The Who’s “Love Reign O’er Me” and Led Zeppelin’s “Goin’ to California” scintillated. The antics of Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander in opener Cheap Trick were fun, too.
