Journey was forced to call off a show in Houston, Texas, Saturday night after an electrical fire shut off audio during “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

Video from the performance shows singer Arnel Pineda and guitarist Neal Schon singing the lines “A singer in a smoky room / The smell of wine and cheap perfume / For a smile they can share the night” when the sound system crashed and jumbotrons shut down.
