When did Augeri come visit the band and meet Arnel?

Old news. And there was footage online of Augeri talking with Arnel backstage.

I was under a rock at some point, apparently. Glad to see that Steve and the band are still on good terms. I remember, when visiting the warehouse, there were still photos of Augeri everywhere. Clearly, there was a fondness for him - despite how things ended up.

Any ideas where? I missed that, and would love to see it. Further evidence, if more were needed, that Augeri is a class act. Looks good for the members of Journey too.

Here you are

I never got the impression that there was bad blood between SA and the band. SA was a tireless workhorse for the guys. I think Neal had regrets/doubts towards the end, but everything has worked out ok. In hindsight, Arrival is a masterful album and it's a shame that Augeri never got to do a proper follow-up.

great find! Again, had absolutely no idea this took place. Was this board on vacation that week? So interesting to hear SA say "I didn't learn to take care of myself..." We all know he was pushed beyond his limits by the aggressive touring. But that statement implies something more. I wonder what he means?

I remember seeing the picture that was taken in the video shortly after it happened. It didn't seem like a huge deal here, as I remember.

Don't recall, KC. Judging by Arnel's Bieber haircut, I think it was during the Eclipse tour.

I believe this was in Holmdel or Jones beach during the Eclipse tour
