God, I'd forgotten how good that stuff sounded, especially the live cuts!

They had been off the radar so long when this came out, and I was under the impression that Perry had throat cancer and all that bullshit. I went to school in NC and my family lived in FL, so for 12 hours at a time, I would drive back and forth from NC-FL over long weekends/Christmas/Spring breaks etc and sing the entire collection start to finish for 12 hours at a time.

WalrusOct9 wrote:I never understood box sets like that. Anyone who pays that much money for a box set is going to be a hardcore fan, and likely they already have the albums already, so why repeat those songs? Conversely, it could be a normal fan just looking to get an overview of a band's career, but they're probably going to skip the demos and outtakes. It just feels like a total cash-in to me, making people spend $40+ largely to buy music they already own. I like the idea of box sets, I just want them to have material I don't already own, like the Springsteen or Bon Jovi sets that have come out in the last few years. That's the way to do it.

Like Hunsicker it was the first Jrny thing I owned. I was gone after that.

They included rarities, unreleased live stuff, and b-sides that weren't previously available on the albums, not to mention the hits. When I first listened to this years ago after it came out, I hadn't heard the pre-Perry stuff before and really loved it.

Being Jeff's good friend and webmaster for his media section I've been following this whole Journey-thing with him from day 1. More than anyone else I'm very much aware of Jeff's capabilities and I don't think the Atlanta bootleg is doing him any justice!
I think you all should know that Jeff's been singing EVERY week for the past 5-6 months with 'Boogie Knights' on the weekends, then blowing out his voice with sessions, the forthcoming Talisman album & his new solo stuff... and then Journey flew him over to stand in for Augeri who got ill!
Although concert reviews are great, the 2 weeks of recharge he gets at the end of this month will make him go on even stronger!... wait and see!

Yes, just me being a smart ass. I need to make my humor a little less...hmmm....angular, maybe.

Not the Cheaze one where he kicks it off with cringeworthy "Come on, make The Stones get scared!!"
I'll take the Time3 one for the gem it is.
