You could care less about anything Journey related.

Tell me real quick who the 6 band members are without googling. You have 45 seconds before I call no joy. :wink:

Ding Ding Ding....I think we have a winner, here folks!

+ he has the laptop to worry about and the Hammond. He's got a lot of shit going on.

His duties don't appear to be any greater than they were during the Augeri years!!
Love you, RNR ...nice try!! :lol:

70+ Cain, Ross, and Neal (late 60's) jamming to DSB ...if we think Cain's a
picklepuss now, just wait!! But I agree, don't think his Journey has ended!!

I would liken Stunning Steve's retirement to that of Elvis ...he's still rollin'/raking in the dough, performing or not ...
thanks to his incredible talent and legacy. I'm not sure about Igor's Estate, but I don't think
Sonny's catalog does quite as well, but yeah, they're dead I get it ...Stunning Steve, I like that!!

ummm...OK...but I don't remember seeing him smiling alot during the Augeri years either. IDK, I just don't think he smiles a lot ever and he has a great smile.!! Some of his comments after these newer shows sound like he's really enjoyed it, I'd think you'd have to go waayyy back to the younger days when the camera is rolling. :shock:

yep!! That's the best I got!!!

I think he misses his partnership with Perry and the thrill of hearing his new music being played everywhere. Even Neal has mentioned that playing the same shit over and over again gets monotonous.

Watching the Tokyo show from 1981, Cain was having a freakin' blast. Of course that was only his third show with the band so no surprise.

I knew exactly what that clip was going to be, since this was his song. No surprise. I remember some pretty good moments with Jon and Neal on stage playing quitar, although back in those days they were a lot younger. Anybody remember which tour/song has them both playing guitar on their backs? It's driving me crazy and I know I have it somewhere.

During this same show, there is a moment when Steve is doing a real soulful intro to Wheel In The Sky and when the crowd see Jon walk away from the keys and strap on the guitar, they start to anticipate what's coming, one of my favorite clips.

I may be wrong, but this comes up as Keep on Running in my head from the Escape tour.

That was my thought to, but I can't find it under the Keep on Running vids out there. Isn't it the one where Ross is also on top of the speakers?
