Did you go down to the park and cheer my boy on??

You disgust me too.

Yobama Yobama

Why do I feel bad for thinking this is hilarious?

Dont feel bad,embrace the madness.I bet they got Tito in a straightjacket right now takin him to the nut ward

I heard his Malibu is gonna be on Pimp My Ride next week. What sort of cool options do they think they'll put on it, Steve? This should be good.

First thing is one of those sex machines. One with a big red flexashaft on the front. A little fridge to keep his snickers chilled{so the tightwad can make an extras 50 cents} An autographed poster of PRESIDENT OBAMA .A mexican flag on the antena.A 50 cd changer in the truck to hold all of his fucking gay friga solo Cds.A custom trailer attached to hold all the worthless garbage the he hauls to all the concerts for those poor souls to sign.A hepa filter to keep the air from becoming toxic from all that garbage he eats from White Castle.A mini toilet so Dan does have to throw up on the floor{but he wont used it anyway} A condom machine {in case he gets the rearend crazies after listening to Friga sing Faithfully}A case of Strawberry Yo Hoo to put in his fridge to wash down them fuckin snickers.

You did not disappoint. I swear I'm in tears. "The rearend crazies"...lol

It scared my cat

Ha ha, Drew. You're in trouble with Team Perry. Not a place you want to be. Believe me...I know.

Drew's not in trouble with anyone. I am a long-time Journey fan, just as many here. I was at that show and am giving my insight as a Journey fan. Nothing more - though you continue to try and imply otherwise.

Care to explain what it is that you think I "continue to try and imply?" I was poking fun at Drew in that instance. Next time I'll litter the post with

Andrew, this performance has been debated countless times. Why would you want to stoke this fire again?

Come on dude. This went on for a solid YEAR with Steve Augeri recordings, every single false note mocked for page after page.

There's nothing wrong w/ AJM posting this, I don't recall ever seeing him weigh in on it.

This is 17 years old. Why resurrect it again?

Because it is now available streaming from the "Vault" of the guy the memorial was for. While you have been able to see poor quality versions of two songs for a while, it has not been available like this...

[(Crazy)Dulce Lady]

Thanks, Lora B.! I remember cyndy explaining once the audience being mostly deadheads 'cuz I wondered why no one was singing. I've always loved that part where SP earnestly tries to get them to sing - he just has that "certain something" evident even in this concert and he always will... (plus, he looks so sexy): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgKOCBAkPKU

ahhhhhhh. beautiful.

thanks.

[Andrew]

This is 17 years old. Why resurrect it again?

And why set the tone for this thread by calling it awful? I'm afraid you've lost me on this one, Drew. There was nothing awful about that performance or that day. Journey hadn't been together in years - Steve hadn't sung a note in years. It was all about respect for Bill Graham. I was at the concert and I know how magic that day was. If I remember correctly, the bands were told they were going to play acoustic which is why Ross & Steve Smith weren't there. As it turned out, that wasn't the case but communication wasn't the greatest when this event was being set up.

I agree with Dan in that I think Journey were probably a bit shocked at lack of reaction from the crowd. Steve was trying everything he could do, but he was singing to a bunch of stoned Deadheads that had no clue about the words to "Lights" or "Faithfully." I would guess the first 1/3 of that crowd from the stage back were Deadheads as they got there the day before and camped out. CP and I went early the day of the show and were all the way back to the soundboard.

I was proud to be there and proud that my favorite band came together that day to pay their respects to a true legend.

Even the best have their bad days... Steve is one of the best ever.... you know how I feel. But that was hard to listen to.

[Andrew]

Ha ha, Drew. You're in trouble with Team Perry. Not a place you want to be. Believe me...I know.

This has nothing to do with being a Perry fan. It's just being realistic about the circumstances. It wasn't a rehearsed or planned performance. It's not fare to compare or critique, regardless who the performer was.

Let's say the greatest pitcher in baseball were asked to throw out the first pitch at a game after not picking up a ball in years. Would you expect him to throw 90+ mph as he did in his prime? Hell no. But you would be silly to judge him on that throw, especially 17 years after the fact.

All true.. But still doesn't make it easy to listen to. This is coming from a Perry worshipper too.

[Andrew]

I thought Cain saved the performance IMO.

I knew you where going to crawl out and stroke Frigas stub as usual. I m sorry about the Gay marriage repeal.Im sure you and Friga are using up the pink kleenexs over the hole thing,that with your ole man and and retarded bimbo from bumfuck losing the election you are fit to be tied. Get some Xanax and put onyour Windy Cities Cd and stroke it. Did you go down to the park and cheer my boy on??

I saw big snicker bar with a football wrapper in the refridgerated section at the WAWa last night and thought of that wackjob. He can sell them chilled and charge 50 cents more,get a cooler and keep it well stocked in the trunk of the the shitty Malibu. i hope he took the Mcain Palin bumper sticker off that heap

That sticker is holding the bumper on.

I beleive it. I bet the inside is full of old trash and snot rags

Can we have SOME topics at least kept on topic? These endless derailments into meaningless banter is getting a bit much.

Steve Perry: "Don't Be Down on Me Baby"

His voice sounds pretty rough, but I think he sings the song very well.

Haha...it was supposed to be Steve Perry's response to Andrew's critique.

Or maybe you did get it - can't really tell.

Haha, wasn't it SJ that (only a month back) took BJG and Rhi to task about hi-jacking threads with mindless chatter? It would seem the "boys" are quite capable of doing same.

I'm trying to divert attention from the fact that Perry sounds like he swallowed a skill saw and washed it down with kerosene.

[sniper16]

Nothin wrong with this performance, sorry but there aint..

As people have said, this is years old so why debate it all over again. Typical.
Anyone have a clue as to why Perry won't be interviewed by this site?

i think drew posted it because its featured on wolfgangs vault this week
no real other reason
as for interviewing perry, im sure drew would fly anywhere for that interview.

[madsplash]

You know, everytime I hear this show and then listen to people critisize, it makes me realize it's all relative.

Are the keys dropped? Yes? Are the vocals on, pitch wise? Yes. Does he still sound like himself? Yes.
Does he still sound better than almost anyone out there? Yes.

I've already stated that I (and many others) prefer SP's voice Frontier's and beyond, and I know that thousands of singers would DIE to sound as good as SP in his "diminished state"

His voice is great in any of the 3 states that it's been in and is still one of the 2 or 3 most recognizable in the history of Rock/Popular music.

Anyone that argues that there is something wrong with this performance, other than a lyric slip-up, or the fact that the keys are dropped and they just don't like that, doesn't know anything about singing.

[joonrock]

Am I the only one that thinks Steve Perry may have been intoxicated or in some sort of altered state during this memorial? His eyes seem blank and he's not singing from "within." Notes, range and all that bullshit aside, he doesn't seem to be singing with the passion that separated him from everyone else.

As a singer myself, You have to sing from 'within' to get across the song, even in range. If your body is not into it you can bet your vocal chords won't be (as they're not supported!) something SP was a master of, this just shows what he means when he says that he makes music when he 'has something to say musically'. This is not just him being a premadonna.

and I'd go with him.

[stevew2]

We women who love Steve Perry would gladly listen to his amazing voice anytime, anywhere. And the man has always been sexy, despite the fact he wore his jeans way too high long after 1982 when it went out of style (as displayed in the video in question).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgKOCBAkPKU

However, if the man lost his hair I might just have to take a moment to reevaluate my feelings for him. OMG that sounds incredibly shallow doesn't it?

maybe they were excepting a flood that day. Friga looks JUST like a girl

Oh it's not that bad, they are all sad emotional - you can even hear it Jonathan's piano and Neal's guitar.

And i'm pretty sure Steve would just love to be interviewed by this site, after reading this shite.

I agree with LLL. Even though on the last thread that asked the question, I stated that was his worst vocal performance just because he was rusty from not singing, but then I added he looked extremely handsome. So I would have still been satisfied at the concert. I'm very shallow too .

It just seemed off from the standpoint of being a trio up there without Ross and Steve S. I still wonder if they were asked to perform with them and they were still pissed over being fired for ROR and wouldn't or if they were never even asked to perform with them there.

Drums would have helped, anything would have helped
