Steve Perry to Perform in Honolulu June 25!!!!

Holy shit, what a great time to be alive. Last year I had Valentine, Ramos/Hugo and Journey all release new shit. Now God himself is coming back, wow. I can't wait to see Perry this year. Excuse me while I wipe the end of dick off now ... awesome!

Mac, where is that story?

by **Don** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:27 am

I'm still going to stick with my original analysis that there was a non-compete agreement that didn't let him do paid performances in exchange for the band keeping him on the payroll. If the band doesn't pay him anymore , then they can't stop him from singing Journey tunes.
Obviously he isn't going to get the recognition that the group is getting right now but it would be something if he did do some shows in the markets that are getting passed over this year by Journey, namely Los Angeles where Steve Perry is still considered GOD.

Okay, that's my loon comment.

Thanks Jeremey for the link to the additional news article talking about this performance. In part this article adds:

Perry is bringing his own five-piece band and will perform Journey hits and other music. He's scheduled for two, one-hour sets.

AND

He plans to return to the recording studio in January.

Well i guess so much for the new album being released in the summer of 2009. I wonder if it will be done before 2014 lol.

This better be our Steve Perry. If it's for real, looks like he's going to some out of the way club to try out the act. Ya F-ing Hoo

It's only been a half hour and 450 views. Lauren should win an award for this breaking news reporting. :wink:

I keep waiting for the FanAsylum link that says "Rumours of Steve Perry in Hawaii are just rumours and aren't true".

sorry, i think this is a misunderstanding that has gotten terribly out of control.

by **journey361** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:31 am

I hope i'm wrong, but i did a google search and there is a like R & B singer named Steve Perry. I bet it's him.

Check the articles. It mentions Journey.

I still don't believe it BUT
"we'll see"

by **Jeremey** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:32 am

The owner of the venue is on the record as saying it's happening....So maybe this was the venue jumping the gun about something they really, really hoped was going to happen, but now may be no way in hell is happening. Either way, I bet there's still a private party on the island that Perry's a part of.

It's funny I was just listening to TBF today on the way to work thinking what a shame his voice hasn't been heard live for 14 years and 12 years or so recorded material.

Waiting for the defibrillator to get our hearts started again :lol:

Greg Azus is going to be in Troooooooouuuuble!

by **Don** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:46 am

Honestly, I think it's a one and done show that's all. It was fun to speculate but it's not like the guy is broke and hitting the road like every old time band trying to get pay back for all the years of abuse from evil record labels.

However, if there is video recording equipment at this gig, I would look for a Best Buy or Target exclusive release of Steve Perry performs the music of Journey with live DVD packin. :lol:

by **RossValoryRocks** » Wed May 13, 2009 8:46 am

I wonder if it is the OTHER Steve Perry...the african-american one?

So you're thinking it's legit?

Let's get some wagers!

Here's what we have from Mr. Greg Azus: Promoter....

"It is a total rarity to see Steve Perry in a show like this," said Greg Azus, Pipeline Cafe. "It's going to be an intimate, one-time experience for Hawai'i fans. As great as Arnel Pineda is with the new Journey, there's nothing like the original Steve Perry."

So clearly he's referring to our Steve Perry. I see two scenarios:

1. It's legit, Perry's going to play.

2. Something was in the works, Azus jumped the gun.

Let's expand the link so we can blame the proper agency for all the hoopla

http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/artic ... 5/90512062

Steve Perry, original lead singer for Journey, will perform in concert June 25 at Pipeline Cafe, promoter Greg Azus said today.

Tickets are $28 general admission, $60 VIP and go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday. Purchase tickets through GrooveTickets.com, or at the Pipeline Cafe box office, Hawaii's Natural High or call 877-71-GROOVE.

"It is a total rarity to see Steve Perry in a show like this," said Greg Azus, Pipeline Cafe. "It's going to be an intimate, one-time experience for Hawai'i fans. As great as Arnel Pineda is with the new Journey, there's nothing like the original Steve Perry."

Azus said Perry is coming to Hawai'i for a private performance and added the Pipeline Café show because he wanted to give a live performance.

Perry is bringing his own five-piece band and will perform Journey hits and other music. He's scheduled for two one-hour sets.

With Perry as the lead singer, Journey became one of the top U.S. arena rock bands of the '80s with his hits like "Don't Stop Believin'," "Who's Crying Now," "Open Arms," "Separate Ways" and "Faithfully."

Perry underwent successful hip replacement surgery in 1998 to correct the problem he had been diagnosed with two years earlier.

He plans to return to the recording studio in January.

I wonder if there is such a thing as vocal cord juicing, like a once off thing to restore someone's voice for a couple hours? :lol:

I'm going to absolutely shit if this is true.

A good friend of mine handles large corporate events in Hawaii...i just sent an email too see if he's heard anything about this.

From what I have heard...Perry had some, uh vocal cord work done to correct some issues he had.

The source is "fairly" reliable...but I wouldn't trust it 100%. And no it's no one on the Journey side either.
