agree with you 100% and would have done the same in 2 seconds if they had done this over the past 8 years.
without sp or sa singing these songs there is absolutely reason at this point to do this and no I won;t be buying it,.
Why dont you buy the set, to listen to the new album, and just not open the remade songs?

I am not remotely interested in the new cd either. I think they should have done this in 01 when arrival came out. I also think they should have taken 03,04, and 06 off like they did last year to concentrate on writing and cultivating the
songs and songwriting of ALL the band members instead of hurrying through a cd so they could go on tour again and not
only cut the new songs from the set, play a 3 hour set of 70' music, Hendrix covers etc and play the dirty dozen over and over. They toured nonstop over the past 8 years sometimes without a cd to back with no promotion, packages or
incentive of getting the music out there. Then blamed someone when it did not sell. lied about the 06 tour to save tix sales and trash former members in the interviews they gave.They played nonstop and marathon tours of the dirty dozen using the Journey name to sell tix and make money until they sidelined their singer. They used the last 2 singers to make money, and spent no real effort, inspiration or driving force to make or culivate sa's talents with the sole purpose of continuing the gravy train and make money. The second their singer becomes sidelined they cast him aside, hire someone off youtube and take a year off to make new music, something they could and should have done and would have taken the time to do had they truely cared what the fans thought or felt. To me it is like he was a hired hand and not part of things or the future and like a slap in the face to him and to the fans that came to care, admire and respect him as a singer and songwriter and performer and what he brought to the band. I am sorry, I cannot support that or this new package or cd/dvd partly for that reason. My journey ended 7/03/06.
