Change the keys so Perry can sing it, make it softer and make it all about the songs. What a great way to bury the hatchet and think of the money they could make.
Me too! In fact..this is the dream scnario for me...far more than a new Journey album or even a new Perry solo album. This idea worked brilliantly for Whitesnake - with just Coverdale and Vandenberg doing the classics with a couple of new tracks thrown in - and Schon's acoustic work on the relatively recent live version of Liberty with the guys from Styx and REO was utterly superb too. It added a whole new dimension to that track and had it been Perry singing...well, just imagine how great it would have been.
And yes, the unplugged format would also allow Perry to sing in a soft, low key way - rather like his voice on TBF the song. Plus it's a dignified way for elderly musicians to perform. No poncing about in leather trousers trying to be young. Just a couple of old fucks on a pair of stools. Brilliant...
