Photos & Words by Richard Roesler

September 1, 2018 - Journey stopped by the Toyota Center making the rounds with Def Leppard, I had the pleasure of covering the boys a couple years ago at the Woodlands Pavilion and it was a great show.  This was my first arena coverage for them and it was pretty cool!  My biggest issue was when you shoot at the Toyota Center its from the sound boards or front of house, which I know, yet still managed to forget my stool to stand on which aids in getting over the heads of the fans between you and the band.

So I had to resort to the holding my camera above my head and shooting, it happens and you get sorta good at getting the shots.  Another interesting item was bands have started swapping who opens and who closes a few years back. this night Journey was the closing act.  So they allowed the photographers to shoot songs, 1,3,5,6,7 which was interesting.  I was only able to catch 1 & 3 as I had an issue that unfortunately couldn't be put off at that moment, but is was still a great set!  

Till Next Time,
