Legendary rock band Journey had an idea for a new show. Something special and out of the ordinary, and it had to be an exclusive residency. Obviously, they chose Las Vegas, and the fans were not disappointed. The Journey Las Vegas residency kicked off last weekend at Resorts World Las Vegas. And here’s the something different: they brought along a special symphony orchestra for a one-of-a-kind show. You’ve heard your favorite Journey hits, like Don’t Stop Believin‘, Separate Ways, and Wheel In The Sky. But have you heard them backed by a symphony? Fans this weekend did. And they were not disappointed.

Here’s the band line-up for the Journey Las Vegas shows: Founding member Neal Schon on lead guitar, Jonathan Cain on keys, Arnel Pineda on lead vocals, Deen Castronovo (Bad English 1987-1991; Journey 1998-2015) on drums and vocals, Todd Jensen on bass, and Jason Derlatka on keys and vocals. And just sayin’….Derlatka sounds a lot like Steve Perry. There are lots of VIP packages being offered for this residency. Including the “Anyway You Want It” package with a seat in one of the first three rows. Or opt for a seat in one of the first 10 rows with the “Separate Ways” package. Both come with perks like VIP priority check-in and a separate VIP entrance. Not to mention red carpet digital photos and Journey-themed VIP merch. Other packages include the “Faithfully” package, in one of the first 20 orchestra rows, and the “Lights” package in rear orchestra seating.

Show dates:

July 2022: 15, 16, 22, 23 – Doors open at 7pm. Show starts at 8pm. Tickets are sale available and can be purchased here.

You’ll, no doubt, hear this song at the show. It’s from their upcoming album Freedom (due to drop July 8, 2022).

The line-up has obviously changed since this, but Separate Ways will always live on.

Here’s Jason Derlatka covering Send Her My Love.

5 Rock Bands with Multiple Diamond-Certified Studio Albums

A number of bands have one diamond-certified title, and even fewer have more than one. However, there is an elite group of rock bands with multiple diamond-certified studio albums.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has given out a number of diamond certifications to various albums that have sold at least 10 million units. Several of those albums happen to be greatest hits/best-of compilations. Thanks to these releases, this has led to a variety of bands have more than one diamond-certified title.

Believe it or not, there are only five rock bands to have more than one diamond-certified studio albums. That’s right, only five.

So, who are they? Scroll through the gallery below to find out and to see which of their studio albums have moved 10 million units or more.
