Tour 2008 with Journey and Cheap Trick

# 2. Cheap Trick, Heart and Journey, Aug. 30, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, Bethel — Arnel Pineda, the diminutive 40-year-old new lead singer for Journey, goes from small-club cover-band singer to rock-star frontman, dazzling a sold-out, season-ending crowd of 15,000. But Heart made a case for headline status, with Ann Wilson leading her older sister Nancy through their mega-hits. The night began with Cheap Trick rocking the stirring early crowd with late-1970s/early ’80s hits. Lead singer Robin Zander wooed and comical guitarist Rick Nielsen changed instruments more than Cher changes outfits. Link to article

The Post Standard: goose-bump moments of 2008

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.
