JOURNEYMANIA

[JourneyHard]

Journey needs to make plans for the Summer of 2022. They can celebrate Fifty Years of Journey with Journeymania. They invite everybody who has ever been in the band for a tour that showcases five to six hours of the music of Journey in all its forms. Steve Augeri, Gregg Rolie, and everybody else. Steve Perry could come out for the last two hours, of course. But if Steve Perry doesn't show up, it is okay, as long as everybody is invited. If Perry doesn't show up, have Deen Castanova sing for the last two hours. The whole tour is a big celebration of Journey. No egos. No hurt feelings. Just everybody having a good time. Probably won't happen, but it would be really cool if it did.

I've been thinking about that type of thing for years now. I figured for it to be even somewhat realistic it would have to be just one show. But It would be awesome for them to get everyone who was ever a member of Journey to do one show together, as well as a few people who were never officially in the band, but were still connected with the band in some way like Prairie Prince and Kevin Chalfant. The show would have to be somewhere in the 4 to 6 hour range (Yeah, I know it will never happen) and if they had Steve Perry, Steve Augeri, Arnel Pineda, JSS, Robert Fleishman, Deen Castronovo Kevin Chalfant and Gregg Rolie singing they could realistically do a show of that length with no problem from a vocal standpoint.

You could have both Cain and Rolie on keyboards at different times. Ross Valory and Randy Jackson on bass at different times, Smith, Castronovo, Dunbar, Baird, Hakim and Prairie Prince all on drums at different times.
The biggest problem would be for Schon to try to play a whole show of that length at his age. They could get Tickner to sit in, but he's a rhythm player, he couldn't handle all of Schon's solos in general. You'd probably need to get someone like Josh Ramos to sit in on guitar for part of the show.

Anyway, as awesome as that would be for all of us Journey fans, it will never happen.
