When Love and Hate Collide was my favorite. I thought the show was amazing, but I didn't know any better back then. Now I think they're just OK live.
I'm beginning to think I watched "Live In the Round" way too much and it just can't be topped, particularly without Steve's stage performance. I just saw them last Saturday with 8th row tickets. I definitely enjoyed the show, but there was still something missing on a personal level and I had that feeling back when I first saw them on the Adrenalize tour. Maybe my expectations in my mind are too high. Maybe I just overplayed them. I guess the best I can describe the feeling is "robotic."

Journey absolutely slayed me in contrast, but I only recently started getting to know their material beyond the obvious so everything was fresh and performed with heart. I'm in love now.
