    We?

    I think you and ANOTHER member of the Nashville karaoke crew sang Don't Stop Believin'

    That is not a mitigating factor.
    Schon's musical ability actually increases his culpability for inflicting that schmaltz on the American public.

    Negative. Kel and I sang some sappy Garth Brooks tune.

    Still no answer to the name of the song they released in the mid 1990s?

    This is bothering the heck out of me.

    Unless I missed it, nobody has mentioned Mother, Father, which is one of the forgotten songs off the Escape album.

    It would be easy to write it off as pretentious. But there's something incredibly melodic and emotional about that song that's always reached out and grabbed me, even back when I was 9 and had Escape on vinyl. And another even more obscure track that's sort of a sister song to Mother, Father, is Little Girl, which was on that boxed set they put out ... recorded at roughly the same time as part of a soundtrack to a Japanese film they did. It has some of the same qualities.

    And I'm also partial to Ask the Lonely and Only the Young.

    That's the damn song!!!

    I love that song.



    I had no idea it was recorded in 1978.

    Saw Journey on their last tour with Perry. Glass Tiger was the opener. Randy Jackson was playing bass. Good show, though I'd have rather seen the band on the Escape Tour rather than Raised on Radio Tour for sure.

    Glass Tiger??

    Wow....that brings back different memories, from 1986 when "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone" was on the radio like twice every hour.

    Needless to say, they're gone, but we haven't forgotten them - the pride of Newmarket, Ontario. :D

    adams was all full of energy. it was his third stadium concert ever and the first his mother saw live ... couldn't believe how many times his said "fuck" in front of his mother.

    perry struck me as possibly the best live performer i've ever heard. crystal clear, possibly better live than, at that time, a tape thingy.

    and SH and ST on top of that? shit. where did you see it? and, yeah, bryan, not brian.

    Awesome. That could have qualified for the "best song ending" thread.
