Are we talking House Of Blues or Staples Center type venues? HOB-yes, Staples-no.


That's a bit of a jump between a 1,500 seater and an 18,000 seater venue. How about a 5,000 seater?

Who do you think would provide support act?


Steve Perry wouldn't fill an 18,000 venue act. Maybe in Las Vegas he could. He's been gone too long for a solo tour that big. Many people don't really know him. If he toured with Journey again, it would be HUGE, though.

I beg to differ. I think people would be flying in from all over for the gigs, since his primary demographic is older with bucks. Christ, I'd consider sellin one of my cats for airfare, (no big woop, she's a bitch anyways!)

Now that's cold. Just cause some of them are in their 60's, 70's and 80's is no reason to be disrespectful.

I think people would know him. KLOS in Los Angeles, who did what amounted to a boycott of Revelation, would have the news all over here in SoCal. Even if he doesn't do Journey songs, people will go to the show anyway , expecting him to, sort of like new fans at Journey shows this last tour, expecting them to play more then three songs off of Revelation. It didn't happen, but people still went to the shows, hoping it would.

The main error in logic for alot of people is when they banter back and forth whether he still has 'The Voice'....Who the fuck cares!?!? I mean seriously. Some of us have never saw him live, and would be ecstatic just for the chance to see them all together again. Ditch Deen, and get Smitty, too.

I wouldn't give a rat's ass if he didn't have "the voice". I'd come just to support him, plus I couldn't get tickets the last time he was in Toronto, so I would love to see him. What's a little airfare on the card?

Uhh..hate to say it..but if he didn't do Journey songs, that might be the shortest US tour in the history of music. Once it got out that he wasn't doing J...he'd be lucky to get 100 people per show. And most of them would be us losers who sit on this board everyday.

I second that. Not all SP's solo material is fantastic. Some of it is incredible cheesy 80's synth and soul, which is dated beyond belief and wouldn't sit well with the youth of today.

Are we talking House Of Blues or Staples Center type venues? HOB-yes, Staples-no.


That's a bit of a jump between a 1,500 seater and an 18,000 seater venue. How about a 5,000 seater?

Who do you think would provide support act?


Steve Perry wouldn't fill an 18,000 venue act. Maybe in Las Vegas he could. He's been gone too long for a solo tour that big. Many people don't really know him. If he toured with Journey again, it would be HUGE, though.


I think people would know him. KLOS in Los Angeles, who did what amounted to a boycott of Revelation, would have the news all over here in SoCal. Even if he doesn't do Journey songs, people will go to the show anyway , expecting him to, sort of like new fans at Journey shows this last tour, expecting them to play more then three songs off of Revelation. It didn't happen, but people still went to the shows, hoping it would.


Uhh..hate to say it..but if he didn't do Journey songs, that might be the shortest US tour in the history of music. Once it got out that he wasn't doing J...he'd be lucky to get 100 people per show. And most of them would be us losers who sit on this board everyday.


I second that. Not all SP's solo material is fantastic. Some of it is incredible cheesy 80's synth and soul, which is dated beyond belief and wouldn't sit well with the youth of today.


The majority of youth of today are mindless, souless losers who live on sound bytes in their parents basements. Jesus, who gives a shit about them. They wouldn't have the money to come anyways.

I can clarify that. The spirit of music was lost when the iPod came about, none of my friends buy CDs anymore. :cry:
I'll be attending SP on my own (if he came over :P).

If Perry did a tour, and included Journey songs, would it change anything in Neal's universe. I think the band won't do another tour as big as Revelation and will slow down quite a bit over the next few years, maybe hitting the Casino circuit. Would they feel the need to go out there full time if they saw Perry having success on the road. Would they see that as their potential audience going to an alternative source since they weren't doing as many shows?
