This recording of "Of a Lifetime" suggests there is. Neal plays as if it was still the 70s, Derlatka sings with soul and time pretty much stands still. The first wow moment of the concert, 9 songs in.
Although Arnel should definitely get an A for effort, he is sounding more rough than soothing on this current tour and he deserves a break. So do large chunks of the Journey catalogue. There's only so many times you can take the dirty dozen. The stoic crowd on the floor in Austin an indication of this?
The current band shines the most when they do songs like "Of a Lifetime", "Feeling that way" and other lesser played cuts.
Neal is clearly right in that there is life after Journey and probably with the current band minus Cain and Pineda. I am just wondering in which types of venues and under what name? Journey Through Time in theaters?
"Of a Lifetime" from Austin below. Derlatka clearly pleased with Neal's playing at the end:
