Cain is as integral to the Journey machine as either Perry or Schon and not only do I believe Schon knows this, I think even he would have a hard time calling it Journey without at least one of them (Perry/Cain) standing beside him.
'Nothing was bigger for Journey than 1981’s “Escape” album. “I have to attribute that to Jonathan coming in and joining the writing team,” Steve Perry (Feb 2012).'

I believe at this point, Jonathan Cain is the glue keeping Journey together and keeping the identity of the band going. I keep dreaming about the "what ifs" of a Journey line up consisting of Kevin Chalfant, Gregg Rolie, Jonathan Cain, Neal Schon, Ross Valory, and Steve Smith.

Even though I liked several songs from Raised on Radio, I tend to agree with you 100%. I will always believe when it comes to Journey's history, nothing beats Escape/Frontiers.

So did they become Journey again with TBF?
I agree with you on ROR; Journey without its rhythm section isn't Journey.
