Classic rock San Franciscostyle was on the menu Sept. 16 when Night Ranger and Journey visited the Eastern Kentucky Expo Center in Pikeville. Pictured at left is new Journey lead singer, Arnel Pineda, and guitarist Neal Schon.

Schon is one of only two original members still performing with the group, which was formed after a breakup of Santana in 1973.

Pineda was singing for a Journey covers band when Schon invited him to become a member of the real Journey two years ago.
