More than 30 years have passed since Journey played their first concert in Honolulu, but last night’s sold-out show at the Blaisdell Arena was as eagerly-anticipated as the band’s visits to the same venue back in the early ’80s.
I was in the building to review the first of three Oahu dates in 2009; along with a review that’s set to run in Friday’s Star-Bulletin, I’ve got additional photos and video from the evening that I’ll share here.
More pictures after the jump. My video will be posted later today.

Four up-and-coming bands from around the state arrived in Honolulu last weekend for the first-ever “Band Champ” finals at Pipeline Cafe.
Kauai’s 2nd Nature joined Why Bother from Maui and the Big Island band Violet Eclipse to make the trip to Oahu. They were joined by Kalani Koa during Saturday’s taping. The show will air Wednesday at 9 p.m. on KHON.

I’ve got another 10 pictures from the evening after the jump, including flicks of opening act The Color Fred and the opener for the opening act, Council.

The rumors started flying at Pipeline Cafe on Wednesday before the Honolulu Police Department had even cleared the scene.
“There was a huge brawl at Pipe tonight!”
“Some dude got killed!”
“HPD was arresting people outside the club!”
None of those things happened.
At some point during the Chiodos show on Wednesday, an unidentified male suffered a serious head injury and was taken to the hospital. He was unresponsive and bleeding profusely when an ambulance arrived to transport him, causing police to believe they were dealing with a crime scene.

Tom Moffatt Productions has announced that tickets for a third Journey concert at the Blaisdell Arena will go on sale tomorrow at 9 a.m.
Prices remain the same – $55, $65 and $75 – and customers still have a six-ticket limit when purchasing. You can also buy via telephone by calling (800) 745-3000.
The new show will take place on March 28, which originally was supposed to be the day Journey played at the Waikoloa Bowl on the Big Island. According to TMP, the new Big Island show will be on either March 29, March 30 or March 31. An exact date will be announced tomorrow at noon.
People holding tickets for the Big Island concert do not need to do anything if they still plan to attend; those who need a refund are asked to return to the original point of purchase.
