Per the info from the poster — the piano mike was accidentally left out of the mix here. Now I didn’t know that when I first hit PLAY…and thought Journey was doing one helluva alternative version of DSB, dropping the piano out, letting Ross and Arnel and the crowd do the work. DAMN, it works. Jonathan’s piano is such an integral part of the song, and yet…yet…dropping it out just brings this spare minimal glory to the tune. Just…wow.
