On missing Steve Perry .. "His intuition. His sensibility. He had a certain panache and style that I clicked with. And there will always be that chemistry that we had. It was the most success that I've ever been associated with." Jon Cain 2011

I'd have to give the edge to the Wallflowers. Both solid though.

Going back to my TBF 'wishing and hoping days'....had they been able to tour for TBF (no doubt a stadium tour), I always said at the time that they should have toured with a modern band such a s MB20 as their opening act. It would have easily brought in the younger generation, especially since Journey wasn't as much of a pop culture band for younger fans in '96. The Stones always brought a younger band out with them. Had Journey toured in '96, they would have followed that path, rather than the 80's flashback triple bill package that they now follow. Oh well
