Sounds great, but strangely no Deeno ad-libs. Wondering if it was completely live. Other footage of the event (DSB and SW) shared with me seems to be using Vegas 2001 in the BG mix, which is odd. I don't hear it in this clip tho.

Deen sounds incredible here. I doubt his vocal was live. Not a single flub and really stretching the notes.

Journey can clearly live on without Arnel and Jon. Deen sounds more like Perry anyway.

Shared vocal duties between Deen and Jason a possibility?

I am a big fan and a big advocate, but, I agree, this is too polished.

Just caught the proshot video.......so nice to see Deen finally getting to show off his singing on a bigger widespread scale! If this is going to be the four man lineup beyond Cain's and potentially Arnel's departures, I'm down to see what they can do. Maybe we can get more new music if Cain is out of the picture and Neal can just basically do whatever he wants with Deeno rocking the vocals. But if thats the plan, please get an outside producer this time Neal. We love your guitar work, but don't put the rest of the band's playing under a wet blanket like on "Freedom".

Narada WAS an outside producer. He was also a yes man - unlike Shirley. Exactly how Neal prefers it.

As for new music with this new lineup.....
They would have to get somebody to write the lyrics. Neal, by his own admission, is not really a lyricist.

Miles - Neal's kid - made a comment on social media also claiming the performance is lip synced. He thinks they were forced to do it for TV.

Oooh link?

I believe Miles and Neal have been estranged for years now, which is pretty sad. My gut says that's mostly Neal's fault. He seems to have a shitty relationship with several of his kids, including a daughter that made the news a few years back.
