Show notes

Journey founder and guitarist Neal Schon sits down for an hour-long conversation about the band's current tour. Neal opens up about the Vegas pool party show, the band's two-and-half-hour sets that include jamming and deep cuts, and how the audience keeps getting younger. He shares a never-before-told story about first meeting Steve Perry, discusses the possibility of a Journey biopic, and reveals his thoughts on AI in music. Neal also addresses whether November 28th in San Francisco will truly be Journey's final show, hinting that the journey might not be over after all. Following that, bass legend Michael Anthony catches up with Eddie about life on the road with Sammy Hagar, including upcoming tour dates and their Vegas residency at Park MGM. The conversation takes a heartfelt turn as Michael discusses his annual charity walk for Children's Hospital Los Angeles, honoring his late grandson Rex who was born with congenital heart disease. They also dive into Van Halen memories, from studio stories with engineer Don Landry to thoughts on tribute bands and the possibility of a proper Van Halen tribute event.
