How Have Your Favorite Classic Rock Bands Aged?

The opening film of this season's "Independent Lens Film Showcase" tells the unlikely story of an amateur Filipino singer who steps into the role as lead singer of the legendary American rock band Journey. Through chance, an internet video of his vocal similarity to former Journey front man Steve Perry landed him an audition for the band. "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey" is a fascinating film that premieres on many PBS stations on Monday, Sept 30.
But the film also got us thinking about how have some of the other classic rock bands of the 70s and 80s fared over the years. Here is a look at what those bands look like in 2013:
The Allman Brothers Band
Chicago
Doobie Brothers
Foreigner
Kansas
Lynyrd Skynyrd
REO Speedwagon
Rush
The Steve Miller Band
Styx
