Music video

The music video for "Sentimental Street" starts with a news anchor starting the topic of the band gone missing after they took off from a desert. The plane was a vintage B-25 Mitchell bomber used as the background of their new album. We later see the band, still in their fighter pilot clothing standing in the desert stranded, waiting for help. While Fitzgerald, Keagy, and Watson stand waiting, Gillis looks over the horizon trying to spot any aircraft, but to no avail. Blades, on the other hand, is seen sleeping with a magic lamp in his hands. One of the waiting men - we cannot tell which one - kicks it out of his grasp, waking him up. All the members, except Gillis, gather around the lamp and stare at it in awe. We then see band members leave their homes to get ready for the band's tour. Watson and Keagy leave for the tour by car, Gillis and Fitzgerald leave by train, and Blades hitches a ride on the interstate. They all end up in a large, urban city and meet in an apartment to practice. During the practice, Watson and Gillis start arguing about something and soon the band starts fighting. We next see the band performing at dance clubs for the rest of the video, with some transitions of the band stranded in the desert. When Gillis does his solo, he is wearing exactly the same shirt that Watson wore in the "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" music video. At the end of the video, Keagy hands the magic lamp to Gillis while we hear the news anchor finishing off the story.
