Setlist: Journey, Heart, and Cheap Trick – Blossom Music Center 9-6-08
On Saturday night I took my sister out for the full rock and roll experience via one of the best tours of the summer – Journey with special guests Heart and Cheap Trick. This was her first time seeing Heart and Cheap Trick, and as she reminded me, she had seen Journey (with Steve Augeri […]
