For those of you who can't abide non-original members and their performing, why be miserable? YouTube has original renditions of just about every song the group did (and more than one which, fan that I am, I've never heard or heard about). Save them as bookmarks and enjoy to your heart's content.
Early is on-time; on-time is late; late is a dice roll--it's as simple as that. The ship's company has no ill feeling for you when you are late, and you have no reason for ill feeling for their leaving without you.
