singing "Open Arms" from 1982--she said it was the best version of the song she has heard and I agree with her even though "Open Arms" isn't one of my favorite Journey songs. There's been a lot of talk about SP so thought I would post this and:

Thanks, Fred, didn't know they played Japan in '82. When you think about all the concerts they played from '81-'86, and him having to sing that song in every one, SP must have been so sick of that song at the end.

From 78 until the end of the Frontiers tour, they performed at minimum 530 shows. Pretty amazing.

I'd say Philly '86 is my favorite performance of OA. I love the way he changes it up a little. I can't seem to find a link to it on YouTube though....

Yup, I know what you mean. I'm glad he got through OA really well all things considered.

Truly is a wonderful version of Open Arms.
Its from the very rare Osaka performance.
Wonder where Mariet got that from?

Maybe that's another reason he wanted to end the tour. He always says he was burnt toast. I took it to mean emotionally and physically tired, in part caused by the grief over his mother. Maybe the stress of worrying about his voice played a role in it too.

Ah, nice.
I love "Something to Hide", this is a lovely performance.
Can't stand Open Arms. It's a big hit with the fans I'm sure, but I find it too cheesy and sloppy for my taste.
