Journey, Heart thrill local classic rock fans(0)

By Jim Harrington
The triple bill of classic rockers Journey, Heart and Cheap Trick is arguably the least hip tour of the year.
In order to attend the bands’ show Wednesday night at the Sleep Train Pavilion in Concord, I basically had to refund all the cool-music-guy points I’ve scored by going to the last 10 Noise [...]
