Yea, that's old. Live version is new. Mickey still has the pipes.

Yeah, a little more Augeri feel while singing DSB, but yes, his live vocals are still there!

I've often wondered about Mickey and why Journey didn't call him when Augeri had to bail out. But I also remember the egocentric battle for control when JSS was ousted. Perhaps the idea of a frontman with a profile already on par with Schon/Cain's was a non-starter.

He has an amazing voice, but not a great fit for Journey lead singer.
I think they made the right move with JSS after Augeri. Just wish they would have recorded an album with him.

How do you call JSS a better fit than Mickey? Starship had more core Journey DNA. A bay area sound; power ballads as well as rockers. JSS was always more metal.
