The Belleville Intelligencer got an interview with Deen in anticipation for Saturday's show in my city.

She's got some of her facts wrong but still, worth a read I guess.
She also interviewed Neal Doughty from REO, who takes the stage tomorrow.
Also, a close friend of mine got to interview David Paich of Toto who plays Friday night (link in the Toto boards)

MM: Looking back, with all the inner-band struggles, how does an iconic band such as Journey keep going?

DC: “As cheesy as it sounds, we just didn't stop believing. In ourselves or our fans. In fact, we've got a two year tour lined up. It's going to be a fast and heavy 2014 and 2015. It's perfect. This entire experience has been humbling.”

:roll: :shock:

My reaction as well. I had to shake myself, but Neal also said on his page he's booked through '15.

Lots of questions about post-Perry material. I don't agree with Deen that Eclipse is a throwback to Escape. If anything, it's a throwback to side 2 of Frontiers.

lead singers in Journey are obviously replaceable
Just go back to youtube and get a younger guy, like Menudo.

This may be the last hard push before retirement, who knows.

I don't know why everyone always tries to predict the retirement of the band. In fact, I can't imagine them ever being truly retired. I can see a day when long tours aren't part fo the equation, but there is nothing in it for Journey to end at this point. They can always do a thing here and there.

it'll be retirement time when the risk/reward ratio is no longer favorable to any potential singer..
