“What people don’t understand is that we couldn’t possibly be doing better right now, even if he was with us. It’s taken a lot of hard work to build it back up, but you know what? We’re here again. We’re sitting there. Management is the first to tell me it couldn’t possibly be bigger.”

I have to kind of agree with Neal. At their age, to be doing the business they are is pretty phenomenal. I think if Perry was still singing, the show would be more interesting to some, but I can't imagine they would be doing bigger tours. If it was Perry coming back, yes - much bigger. But if Perry was there all along, this is probably close to where they'd be.
I was in the camp of no Perry, no Journey. And I've only seen them a few times since Perry left. But one has to acknowledge the hard fought battle back to the amount of business they are doing. When I read Neal's comment, at first I was like, bullshit! But then I thought about it. Would a Perry-fronted Journey really eb doing much more touring than Journey does now. I just don't think so.

They would also probably be tours that supported new material along with their classics, which is why the tours would be every few years. They would be more in the company of bands like U2, Bon Jovi and The Eagles (before Glenn Frey sadly passed), instead of the yearly packaged AOR tours that they have been part of. Regardless, they have been playing their asses off. Props to them for keeping the legacy alive.

Would be curious to hear what types of venues and possible touring partner if any they would have had.
Its too bad we never got a "real reunion".

Yeah, I read they had tour dates all set up for that summer. It would be interesting to know what venues those were. Laura might have the answer to that.

Journey was being managed by Irving Azoff during the TBF reunion. We offered to fire up the Journey Force again, and the band were into it, but were told that Irving Azoff "does not like fan clubs." It was obvious he had no interest in working with us. If there were tour dates set up, we never saw them.

I just pulled out a crate of Vinyl LPs that haven't seen the light of day since sometime in 1985. Over 200 records that have not seen a turntable in over 30 years!
New turntable will be here tomorrow and they're going back in rotation.

If anyone is interested in buying them, send me a PM.

Needing money very badly and having some Journey albums to sell don't seem to compliment each other. I am sure they are out there on various sites.
What kind of money you trying to fetch?

Well my money issues are probably far worse than you'd realize. By all rights I should have sold them already. But my Journey/Journey-family tree and Survivor/Survivor-family tree stuff is like the last stuff on earth that I'd want to sell.
There is a store near me that is asking around $7 to $15 per record for Journey's used records. Of course, I know that they would not pay me that amount per record, seeing as they want to turn a profit on what they turn around and sell them for.
I'd have to look into it a little more. But I could come up with a $-amount soon if anyone's interested.
