Does anyone know why Journey didn't play Troubled Child when they performed the Escape and Frontiers albums live in Japan in 2017?

I find that very disappointing!

Cain's keyboard solo was way too short as well.

As far as I know, and seeing the video to it, it was off key and a bad take when they performed it, which is why they left it off.

I don't know how they screwed it up so bad on the soundboard leak bootleg. Its been a minute since I listened to it, but it doesn't seem like that hard of a song to pull off live other than that long Perry note right before the chorus but IIRC it seemed like Arnel didn't know where to come in at times even during other parts. A few more rehearsals and they should have had it in the bag, or at least a passable version. The rest of the band was the Escape/Frontiers lineup so instrumentally it should have been perfect in a perfect world. Its a shame since I love that song and always wanted to hear it live.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of that.

Are you aware of how to find a bootleg recording of TC from that show?

Hope this helps

Pretty sure I got it off of the guitars101 forum years ago. I'm trying to find it on my hard drives and am coming up short, I must have labeled it something weird. If I find it I'll let ya know! GrandIllusionist's post is pretty much the same thing with a little more echo IIRC.

Thank you!

After I made my initial post about how to find it, I looked on YouTube myself and found it.
