I'm sure he's been a jerk, but I'm also sure they all have. Neal, for the most part, is just a dude who brings his axe to work and wants to write, record and tour.

The truth is that Perry has never taken care of his voice. Was Neal responsible for Perry booking this ridiculous tour schedule in 1994 at the age of 45? Take a look at Nov. 14th-27th. At the age of 45, Perry booked FIVE days in a row and 11 shows in 14 nights!!! I don't think Neal booked these gigs for him.Perry has never known how to take care of his voice. This is proof.

Hmm. Is it just me or are the venues a lot smaller than what SP did when he was with Journey? Also, I wonder if these performances were as "intense" as they were during the Journey era? SP got a lot more mellow in regards to vocal output with FTLOSM.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to attend any of these as I was busy raising 2 sons.![]()
Anyway, how do we "outsiders" know that SP didn't really take care of his voice? I read where he wouldn't talk before Journey performances in order to "save" his voice for the show.
So Whats the bet?
