ultimateclassicrock.com/aerosmith-tour-doubts/"Steven [Tyler] can't sing two nights in a row or three to four nights a week — it's physically impossible." - Brad Whitford I read a quote about LeBron James yesterday that said "Father Time is still undefeated", in talking about how people age and abilities diminish. The golden era of classic rock being performed by the people who made it famous is quickly coming to a close. Journey has to see that writing on the wall and know that they have maybe a couple of tours left, if that, at the level they have been over the past 10 years or so.

Way back in the day I was a big fan, saw them 4 times before Draw the Line came out and every show sucked. They just weren’t that good live. Years later took my daughter during the “Pink” era and they still sucked. I like lots of their songs but they didn’t grab me live.

Youtube fan videos are notoriously bad for sound quality, so I get no real good sense there. Any band produced "live" video is usually so cleaned up that there is no real good sense of how it was live either. I think that a lot of bands added explosions, video, smoke, etc. "enhancements" to their shows to distract from the fact that they were not very good live. Journey, IMO, added those type of things as additions in the early 80's and to enhance the fan experience, not to pull attention away from the musicianship.
