And then that's 2008 and Perry is still in the band, but they aren't really touring that much or at all, and then they never had any reason to find Arnel. Then everything from Arrival on never existed.
So that is the question: Which would you rather have?
A) Perry always in the band, but no albums from Arrival through Eclipse. BUT Perry performs with them at Hall of Fame.
OR
B) What actually happened. Arrival through Eclipse and Arnel performed at Hall of Fame.

Sure, the majority of the music they play each night is from 77-83, but they have kept the music alive and the name in the spotlight and the fans engaged. The fans wouldn't have been as engaged had they just gone away..,. and the fans were a big part of them getting inducted.
