I saw Kansas with Ragsdale in 96 with Styx
Not my forst choice Robbie Stienhart much better on vocals.

They would have to promote the fact that both guys were back because nobody would believe it otherwise! I remember the radio commercial for the 1996 Styx tour. It started out by saying "Dennis Deyoung and Tommy Shaw back together". I'm pretty sure that helped sell tickets!

If Perry and Deyoung came back to do a joint tour with their respective bands, they'd probably sell out some if not all of the bigger venues. Plus, ticket prices would probably be close to as high as U2's
okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating, but it would be a big to-do.

It would be incredible!!!!!

But have 2 lead singers EVER been dis-liked so much by their former bands than Perry and Deyoung are by their former bands????? There is virtually no chance at this ever happening. It's too bad because it would be amazing. And now is a good time to do it too. It's been 12 years since Dennis toured with Styx and longer since Perry toured with Journey. Real fans would go Ape Shit!

Was it 2002 or 2003 that it was going to be Steve Perry, Dennis DeYoung & Peter Cetera touring together, I think the tour was going to be called "The Voices of Rock". I can't remember, Bugsy do you remember???

I don't think it's an inevitability, but there's the possibility. I know Chuck said he WANTS the group back together, even if for a short while, before one more original member dies [knock on wood]. I think he made some allusion to the Beatles when he said that.

Sell out the bigger venues? Are you kidding? Steve Perry's voice is shot and why would any more people pay to see DDY than they do now?

Are you talking about a Dennis DeYoung/Steve Perry tour, or a Journey with Steve Perry/Styx with Dennis DeYoung tour. While neither would ever, ever happen, the DeYoung/Perry tour has the better chance. It could be named the "Don't Play Well With Others Tour."
