Is there a future for Journey Through Time?

Postby danielb » Mon Apr 06, 2026 5:01 am

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:

He was promoting the name "Journey Beyond" again as recently as March 25th.

I think Rolie's involvement was part of the appeal of JTT.

I think Neal can rebuild if he chooses.

I think it's also possible Jon gives him the name "Journey" but demands he gets paid as if he is on stage every night - just like Perry does.

The major issue is that Journey Through Time / Journey Beyond will not make enough money touring to fund Neal’s lifestyle

And if Jon lets Schon use the Journey name to tour then I can only imagine what type of shit show that will turn into. The setlist that Neal will want to play will completely kill that type of crowd

How much does he need a month to sustain that lifestyle you're referring to? :)

Unless you're his accountant, that's all speculation.
