How so?
no magic to it at all....
What do you mean "no magic"? Honestly, that song never had any magic to it to begin with. The crowd probably didn't recognize it and probably wasn't that much into the song. The band doing the song with JSS doesn't make it lose its magic.
I agree.
The song was never up to Journey standards....not even close. And to see it performed live, I don't get it. I'm all for seeing Journey move forward, and able to play new material live....but to just play new material for the sake of playing something new isn't the ticket. It will satisfy only the existing base, and won't attract any incremental fans.
Journey songs, from studio to live, have always been know for their raw power...flying melodies, etc. If their new material is lack-luster, what's the point?
