Review & setlist: Journey soldiers into Boston before (allegedly) going their separate ways
The Final Frontier Tour is supposedly the band's last after 53 years and many personnel changes. Journey at TD Garden, Boston, Nov. 10, 2026. Journey made music meant to be heard in three contexts: behind the bedroom door of a teenager whose parents disapprove of rock music, blasting through the rolled-down windows of a secondhand Z28, and in arenas. With the band’s core fanbase too old for the first and (probably) too responsible for the second, that left the last option on Tuesday, as the veteran band brought its Final Frontier Tour to the TD Garden.
