Journey and Toto Kick Off 2022 ‘Freedom’ Tour: Set Lists, Videos

Journey kicked off their 2022 Freedom tour last night in Pittsburgh with a crowd-pleasing 19-song set largely dedicated to their biggest hits.

Neal Schon , Jonathan Cain and Arnel Pineda were joined at the packed PPG Paints Arena by recently recruited keyboardist and singer Jason Derlatka, drummer Deen Castronovo and bassist Todd Jenson . There was no mention of bassist Randy Jackson or drummer Narada Michael Walden, who were announced as new band members  in 2020.

Castronovo and Jenson, who played with Schon in Hardline in the early '90s, formed a powerful rhythm section, while Castronovo delivered lead vocals on "Mother, Father." Derlatka took the vocal spotlight for two Raised on Radio tracks, "I'll Be Alright Without You" and "Girl Can't Help It."

You can see videos and set lists from the show below.

This summer, the band headlined the Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago, uniting thousands of fans across generations with their decade-spanning setlist of beloved anthems. The group also rocked Central Park with “Anyway You Want It” and “Don’t Stop Believin’” at We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert, in addition to honoring 9/11 first responders at the Tunnel to Towers concert in August. JOURNEY features founder Neal Schon (lead guitarist), Jonathan Cain (keyboards, backing vocals), Arnel Pineda (lead vocals) Jason Derlatka (keyboards, backing vocals), and Deen Castranovo (drums, backing vocals).   “It’s that time - time to get back to where we are used to being - on Stage!” says Neal Schon. “We are looking forward to shifting into high gear and bringing you the best show possible. The band is running on all 12 cylinders and very excited!  Please come and join us once again for an evening full of rocking stage connection fun. See you soon Friends.”   TOTO’s Steve Lukather shares, “'On behalf of myself and the band, we are very honored and excited to do this tour with our old and dear friends JOURNEY. Gonna be a great night of music, and as all the guys are lifelong friends... a blast off stage as well.”     ABOUT JOURNEY Since the group's formation in 1973, JOURNEY has earned 19 top 40 singles, 25 gold and platinum albums, and has sold nearly 100 million albums globally. Their "Greatest Hits" album is certified 15 times-platinum, making JOURNEY one of the few bands to ever have been diamond-certified, and their song "Don't Stop Believin'" has been streamed over one billion times alone.   JOURNEY was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2017, and 2018's co-headlining tour with DEF LEPPARD was the band's most successful tour to date, landing them in the Top 10 year-end touring chart with more than 1 million tickets sold, and earning them the prestigious Billboard "Legends Of Live" touring award. March 2019 saw the release of "Escape & Frontiers Live In Japan", a live DVD/CD set from their concert at the Budokan in Tokyo featuring the band's first-ever performances of the albums "Escape" and "Frontiers" in their entirety. JOURNEY has also received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and were inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall Of Fame. Additionally, the band is the subject of the award-winning documentary "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey" about the band's resurgence upon adding Arnel Pineda as lead singer after founding member Neal Schon discovered the Philippines native on YouTube.   ABOUT TOTO Over the past several years, TOTO have had a major renaissance in popularity like few bands at this point in their career.  Their 40th anniversary in 2018 was marked by them releasing a brand new Greatest Hits album (40 Trips Around The Sun) and embarking on their most successful worldwide tour to date.   Few ensembles in the history of recorded music have individually or collectively had a larger imprint on pop culture than the members of TOTO.  As individuals, the band members can be heard on an astonishing 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a half a billion albums.  Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with more than 200 Grammy nominations.     Collectively TOTO has over two billion streams worldwide on all streaming services.  Just last year one of their biggest hits “Africa” went from being a Platinum single to being recently recertified 6X Platinum.  The band has found a new generation of fans.  With now 40+ years together and literally thousands of credits, including the biggest selling album of all time: Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and accolades to their names, TOTO remains one of the top selling touring and recording acts in the world. They are the benchmark by which many artists base their sound and production, and they continue to transcend the standards set by the entire music community, being simply synonymous with musical credibility.  They are pop culture, and are one of the few 70’s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles continuing to remain relevant while enjoying their multi-generational global fan base.

Journey and TOTO’s Freedom Tour Is Rock Anthem Overload

The songs still have weight after decades

It’s 2022, and Arena Rock is alive and well. Two giants of the sub-genre recently kicked off the Freedom Tour, which made it’s second stop at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia last night. Fans packed the venue to hear some of rock’s biggest anthems, proving that Journey and TOTO are two of the most enduring acts around.

TOTO kicked off the evening’s festivities with “‘Till The End” and launched right into “Hold The Line,” which still stands as one of the heaviest riffs in rock history. The band also broke out hits like “I’ll Be Over You,” “Georgy Porgy,” and “Rosanna,” among other fan favorites.

TOTO closed out the set with their seminal hit “Africa.” Fans were on their feet, singing every single word. While track has been a long-standing staple for the group, alt-rock champs Weezer breathed new life into it when they covered it back in 2018. While their catalog is filled with tremendous cuts, “Africa” always seems to be their signature.

After the rains came in Africa, Journey took the reigns on stage. The fired off the soaring “Only The Young,” and followed it up with “Stoned In Love.” Then in an interesting move, they pulled out their power ballad “Don’t Stop Believing,” which has always seemed more fit to be a show closer. Nonetheless, the fans were ecstatic, swaying back and forth while singing along.

At this point, every Journey set is a “greatest hits” set. Other noteworthy jams included “Faithfully,” Lights,” “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’,” “Wheel In The Sky,” “Open Arms,” and “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart).” About halfway through the set, the band introduced the crowd to their brand new single “The Way We Used To Be” from their upcoming album. It is the band’s first new piece of recorded material in more than a decade.

Journey brought the show to a close with their fist-pumping rocker “Any Way You Want It.”

The Freedom Tour rolls on through the spring, wrapping on on May 11 in Connecticut.

Music | Review: Journey is good, but this opening act is much better

Toto tops journey in concert at chase center in san francisco.

Sure, the hometown headliners were good, delivering remarkably faithful renditions of many of the hits from the group’s recording heyday of late ’70s and first half of the ’80s — despite now missing a number of the key players from that time period.

Yet, the opening act was nothing short of a revelation, wowing Journey fans — many of whom walked in only knowing the big Toto hits “Rosanna” and (in part due to Weezer) “Africa” — with a fully engaging set built from superb songs and even better musicianship.

The whole arena was abuzz between the two bands’ sets and you could hear Journey fans muttering in astonishment about how great Toto was onstage and the number of good songs the band delivered in its set.

In other words, if you decided to skip seeing the opener in order to avoid traffic on Thursday night, you definitely made the wrong decision.

Hopefully fans won’t make that mistake when the potent doubleheader checks into the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on April 1. (And, no, this is not some elaborate April Fools joke — Toto actually was that good.) For ticket information, visit golden1center.com .

Toto wasn’t even originally supposed to be at this show. Billy Idol was the scheduled opener when ducats originally went on sale back in November. But then Idol withdrew from the tour, reportedly due to the need to get sinus surgery, and Toto moved into the opening slot for both the Chase and Golden 1 dates. (Toto was already set to open the second half of Journey’s Freedom Tour.)

Toto kicked off the show in relatively recent territory, performing a head-turning take on “Orphan” — from “Toto XIV” — that served to announce that concertgoers were in for a treat. The seven-piece band was in superb form, led by the mighty guitar work of Steve Lukather — Toto’s sole continuous touring member.

Toto then zoomed back to the beginning as it touched upon its best single — the rocking “Hold the Line” — from its 1978 self-titled debut. It would later return to that same album, and find similar success, with a funkified take on “Georgy Porgy.”

The pure musicianship was extraordinary, with the blazing Lukather joined by bassist John Pierce, drummer Robert “Sput” Searight, keyboardists Steve Maggiora and Dominique “Xavier” Taplin, and multi-instrumentalist Warren Ham. Joseph Williams — son of film composer John Williams and actress Barbara Ruick — was a mighty force on vocals, as he has been since joining the band in the mid-’80s.

Toto included a phenomenal cover of the Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends,” which was more Joe Cocker than Ringo Starr, but unfortunately left out its rendition of Weezer’s “Hash Pipe” (done in tribute to the alt-rock troupe famously covering “Africa”). The band closed the show with its two best-known songs — “Rosanna” and “Africa” — which resulted in mammoth sing-alongs in the crowd.

Journey opened its set with “Only the Young,” one of four numbers the band would perform from its 1983 offering “Frontiers.” In all, the group delivered 19 songs, with more than a third of them coming from its jam-packed seventh studio album — 1981’s “Escape.”

It was pretty much hit after hit after hit, yet the music didn’t sound nearly as vibrant — and definitely not as urgent — as what Toto delivered. That certainly wasn’t the fault of Neal Schon — the band’s only constant member — who was an absolute master on guitar, filling nearly every song with leads that impressed both with feel and technical ability.

I could listen to him play all day long. He’s the best part of Journey — musically speaking — and always has been.

Vocalist Arnel Pineda was an energetic front man, racing back and forth across the relatively simple stage setup and coaxing the crowd to respond to such songs as “Send Her My Love” and “Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin'” with even more energy.

The music sounded remarkably like what you hear on record, despite the absence of Steve Perry, Steve Smith, Ross Valory and so many others. Yet, it rarely felt bigger or better than that — which is really what you hope for when you go see a band in concert.

Still, fans certainly acted like they felt they got their money’s worth — and then some — as Journey brought the evening to a close with such longtime favorites as “Wheel in the Sky” and “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart).”

Stevie Nicks will no longer play at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Tuesday night “due to illness,” according to a statement on the venue’s social media.

“Due to illness, the Stevie Nicks concerts on Tuesday, June 18 in Grand Rapids has been postponed to September 24,” the statement reads. “Customers should hold on to their tickets, previously purchased tickets will be honored.”

Stevie Nicks Soars Through a Night of Songs & Stories at Mohegan Sun: 5 Best Moments

Trending on billboard.

The Hershey, Grand Rapids and Chicago concerts are the final three U.S. dates on Nicks’ current tour. She has six shows scheduled in Europe for July, including in Dublin, London and Amsterdam, and then will return Stateside to make up the Grand Rapids concert in September; no new date has been announced for Hersheypark as of press time.

On June 9, Billboard ‘s Ashley Iasimone covered Nicks’ concert the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut . During the set, Nicks poked fun at herself for telling rambling (and fascinating) stories about her decades as a rock star, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. “I’m so old,” Nicks said with a grin onstage. “… What’s everybody gonna say to me? ‘Stop! You can’t do this anymore!’ I’ll say, ‘OK. Fine. I’ll just go home and be alone in a rocking chair with my dog Lily.'”

See Van Andel Arena’s statement about Tuesday night’s show below.

“Melody and lyrics has always been my passion. I sing them now with an older and I hope wiser state of mind.

“I’ve been wanting to have that feeling again…of performing the songs I lived for, and the music I helped to create and design, with the sound of the band of old around me once more. The first time I heard the Band Geeks I truly freaked out; they sound just like the classic YES of the seventies, the YES that I know and love.”

Anderson , who turns 80 on October 25, 2024, is one of the most recognizable voices in music as the lead vocalist behind YES. Anderson was the author and a major creative influence behind the groundbreaking album, Fragile, as well as the group’s series of epic, complex pieces such as “Awaken,” “Gates of Delirium” and especially “Close to the Edge” which were central to the band’s popularity. Additionally, Anderson co-authored the group’s biggest hits, including “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “Roundabout” and #1 single, “Owner of a Lonely Heart.” He has worked with many variations of YES, as well as collaborations with Vangelis, Kitaro, Roine Stolt and Jean-Luc Ponty, and released many critically acclaimed solo albums spanning Olias of Sunhillow to most recently 1000 Hands .
