Dude hasn't changed his mind since 2012 and even mentions the Stones : [www.rollingstone.com]
I'm surprised that pairing two has-been bands like Journey and Def Leppard attracts enough interest to fill arenas or even stadiums (AT&T Park in SF)...

Is this the modern way? All old bands must play hits and nothing obscure?

Oh boy, you don't like them. How original.

Unless you are a diehard fan of a particular band, you only want to hear the hits! For me, I would love to hear the Stones, AC/DC, Van Halen play obscure songs in concert since they're my three favourite. Other bands, I just want to hear the hits. Just saw Leppard last Summer in Vancouver with Poison and Tesla opening. Great triple bill, tickets not too expensive, Rogers Arena was sold out. Tesla played 45 minutes, Poison 1 hour and Leppard 1 1/2 hours. Couple new songs but everything else were hits. Crowd loved it.
Conversely, saw Maiden and they probably played most of their new album live. Songs sounded good but the vast majority of the crowd didn't know them. Didn't even play Run To The Hills. Still a great show.
I love Bruce Springsteen but am not a diehard fan. When I see him live, I only want to hear the hits that I know, not some obscure b side. Conversely, the diehards will probably complain about hearing Dancing In The Dark and Hungry Heart again just like we complain about hearing Miss You and Start Me Up!
The newly announced Leppard/Journey tour is coming to Vancouver in October. Depending on the ticket price I might check it out.

You'll notice the dates for Detroit and Chicago are in July - for MLB stadiums!

Wow, it's almost as if mickscarey and potus43 are one and the same person.

Actually I see they're doing a number of stadium shows in the US as well as Toronto. Live Nation is the tour promoter so they must know what they're doing. Sell all the nosebleed seats for cheap just to get people to the show and hopefully sell a lot of merchandise!

"Hits", to me, imply GOOD songs. They have zero

1) Pyromania and High & Dry are some of the best classic metal albums ever
2) Joe sounds great these days as his vocals are tapes!

Really? Like Roger Waters? Shameful but I can't say I'm surprised as his vocals on the Vegas boots were absolutely terrible.

I remember that when they toured Slang and couldn't fill arenas in the US anymore they realized they were over the hill. They actually complained that they were touring a better album than the previous one (Adrenalize) for which the tour went great.
