Journey: 2004-10-16 Tokyo, Japan (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

This Journey show played 11 years ago today is an excellent recording of their Tokyo, Japan show on October 16th, 2004.  This is a very enjoyable show and it has a great mix to it.  The vocals and instruments can all be heard and are balanced well.  This is a very clean sounding show and great performance by Journey.

LINEAGE:
CD-R trade > EAC (secure mode, offset corrected) > WAV > TLH (to test for lossiness) > Audacity (to view waveform & fix audio clipping and then to embed metadata/track titles & info, and then to re-encode) > FLAC 8 > TLH (to check for SBE's and create and verify ffp & md5 files) > you

NOTE:
This is not really a remaster even though I'm tagging it as Bootradr Remaster due to some work I did to it.  It helps me find shows I worked on (the clip removal).  No EQ work was done!

Sylph Records has done this on some other Journey shows so it's no surprise to see the audio clipping in the waveform when I was looking.  I went ahead and fixed it with Audacity.

The show has some really excellent songs and sound too.  "Suzanne" is a rare song to hear live and in these shows Deen Castronovo sings a lot of the songs.  He does a great job too.  He is no longer with Journey as many may know and they had to recently replace Deen as drummer unfortunately.  He was one of the few band members the group has had that can actually sing certain songs and sound very Steve Perry like.  So I imagine this will cut down on a number of songs the band plays live now that he is gone.  Journey had scaled back on having Deen sing as often in the live shows anyhow since they made Arnel Pineda the lead singer of the band in 2008.  It was sounding like Deen's voice was not able to hit the notes he was going for after about 2009 in the shows I saw and this 2004 period was only about two years after Journey had him singing some of the songs that were he did best.  And in 2004 Deen sounded really great too on the tracks he sang.

I'm not sure what track 204, Neal Schon's guitar solo, means with the Japanese words Sakura Sakura in brackets.  I'm not sure if this is the song title or if this is a Japanese word that means something.  I'm sure somebody seeing this will know and can hopefully shed some light on this.  I'm just listing it this way since it was on the artwork like this.  It looks like Sakure may represent a surname in Japanese but I am not for sure?

I hope you enjoy the show...
