Steve Perry sang live a few days ago!!!

Tommy Denander is a fairly well known name in Melodic Rock circles.

There was some chatter on the old BackTalk site a couple yrs ago or so that 'tommy denander' was going to write for SP. Apparently, this guy is some sessions guy who's written/played a lot for others.


later~

From his myspace page:

Tommy Denander
is number 2 on the Billboard album charts with American idol's David Archuleta


No comment.

Well then, that settles it. Denander and Perry must have been taping a new song for American Idol.
What other conclusion can all the loons draw?

So Steve Perry is going to be on American idol?

Anyone have a link??? I just went over to the Noticeboard and didn't find the thread. Maybe going back to 1-21-09 wasn't far enough??

Here you go....

This reminds me of an interview Steve did once I think it was on Mark and Brian but a woman called in and thanked Steve for the autograph her best friend got for her about a month ago in Boston where her best friend said Steve was at a club where she was and he got up on stage and sang two songs and then she went over and got his autograph. Steve said to the woman on the call in line "I haven't been to Boston in years. Wasn't me." the woman caller said "She wouldn't lie to me she's my best friend. I have your autograph right here in my hand." Steve then said "I don't know who's autograph you got but it wasn't mine. Sorry I think your friend was had." The caller hanged up rather quickly.

It doesn't matter who you are famous or not if you can't tell the whole story why even tell the story at all....

I have it on very good authority that he will be appearing on Idol the week after next (the week of the 16th). I can't wait to see the threads that pop up.

Hey Larry,

I've been pretty busy with releasing a live DVD and a double CD last year. Now I'm working on my next album, which keeps me from writing more on this forum. I've been lurking though. I thought this Perry news would be a nice find to report, especially since I know who Denander knows himself, so this newssnippet might hold some truth.

If Perry's indeed testing the water, who knows what this year will bring.

Thanks for the nice words about the stuff on my site.

Take care,

Michael

mike,, where have you been??

living the good life on a sunny beach i bet, strumming a guild, composing!

good to see you..

good stuff on your site man !!

Thanks for pointing out Denander's post. He is legit and has worked with alot of people Perry knows. He wouldn't post something like that if it didn't happen. As far as not saying where and when it happened, maybe Denander was asked not to broadcast the particulars. People have been wanting to know that Perry is singing somewhere besides his damn shower, so good for him. It's good news for once and from a credible source this time.
Andrew could easily confirm this, for the doubters.

Hi all...
I dont post here too often, but if it's true that Steve Perry was singing in front of an audience, then that would just be a positive step for the guy. I think maybe he had some "issues" of sorts and maybe now he is just feeling comfortable with the idea of preforming again, at his own pace? And "if" he is putting out any new material, maybe he is testing that out as well

[mriesenb]

Don't shoot the messenger (uh, that would be me).

"I can't say when or where..."

Dude whatever. Then shut up. most are just sick of this bullshit. Big deal... he allegedly sang. Like with any story, if we don't get any details about it, how are we expected to give a shit about it? If your local news anchor came on and told you something happened, and reeled you in, and then refused to say anything more than "it happened..." wouldn't you turn the station?

Its like the groundhog... Perry allegedly sang something somewhere, so all this means is six more months of madsplash screaming "we'll see".

[swataz]

I was just thinking of how the email inbox of this guy Denander's site is probably FULL now.

Don't make me start another thread, BJG.

[amaron]

Until there is a CD of entirely new material* from Perry, I'm not going to believe one single rumor about his "return".

*Greatest Hit + The Rest Unreleased doesn't cut it this time.

[madsplash]

Have any of you even bothered to look at this guy's discography before you dismiss him as an unreliable source??? Damn, I wish I even owned that many albums! On second thought, I would need a much bigger house!

Given those that he works or has worked with, he would certainly know of what he speaks. Before you cast stones, I suggest doing a bit of research first.

Tell 'em Rocker Chic! It wouldn't matter to some of the hard heads on here if SP came to there house and sang right to their face. They'd just say, "well, you can't do it again".

It's so funny that just because there have been rumors for a long while about this, that means that it can't possibly be happening NOW.

It's just gonna be so freakin' funny at some of the doubters excuses and whiny complaints and what they'll be saying when this happens. It'll be a comical good time for all. Some will say, "I didn't say he wouldn't do it, just that you couldn't PROVE that he was going to" Whatever. We'll see.

[mriesenb]

I should have known this would escalate I was at work and read that article from Denander, so I posted it and then I had to go home, eat, take a leak and then voila there were 4 pages

hey !!! look at all the above posts... no one person tried to "kill the messenger!"

the maturity level is increasing arouind here... ...me so proud..

Well to be fair to the messenger, all he did was post an item that was found, not heard it and posted about it.

mike knew what he was doing.. got a 4 page thread out of this and never had to say a word... and then left..

[mriesenb]

Now you mention it hehehe

Nah, album wil not be ready before the end of the year and I'm not quite sure if Journey fans will dig this one.

If he was promoting a new album, I'd get it... (Mike that is)

[mriesenb]

It's a club in LA where the LA session players go to jam. It's mostly guys like Mike Landau, Lukather, David Garfield, John Pena, etc.

Somebody else at The NoticeBoard goes on to say something in a reply about "The Baked Potato" Club....?
Anybody know what that is?

I dunno....maybe it was a kind of "inside joke".

I'd dig it. That man's voice goes right through me no matter what he sings. I don't want it to sound like Journey anyway, it isn't Journey's stuff.

[bluejeangirl76]

I was just thinking of how the email inbox of this guy Denander's site is probably FULL now.

I bet you're right, and its pathetic that that happens everytime there's a booger of "info" about Perry. Whoever happens to be mentioned at the same time gets emailed all to hell. Poor Uncle Joe... I bet he gets the worst of it. And I wouldn't even want to see the email box at Fan Asylum.

"Is Steve doing this or that?!" "Is such and such a true story?" "Why no birthday message I was sooo looking forward to it omg where isssss heeeee will there be an ANNUAL q&a this year omg!?!"

Steve-us christ, can you imagine?

I can't tell you where and when so don't ask me....but Steve Perry did perform live in LA a few days ago!!!
This is not to be taken as a sign of a comeback or plans for one...just nice to see the guy doing what so many of us miss from him....

Thanks for bringing this over - I never see the noticeboard. Happy to hear he his singing....somewhere...even sorta nearby. I do remember Tommy Denander talking about meeting SP at a club a few years back and hoping to write/play with him.

Aww man, it's a damn children's album isn't it?

I started a thread awhile back about Perry doing something akin to Pooh Corner. Little kids aren't going to be as critical as us so it's a good genre to start a come back with.

To be clear, I was talking about my next album, not Perry's

I'm afraid my album will be a bit too progressive for Journey fans (progressive as in progressive songstructures, not progressive rock)

[slucero]

kids would like it if it was "Poop in the Corner"...

[swataz]

Waiting for an intrepid soul to put some type of definitive audio or video proof of said performance...it'll happen.

[Andrew]

I AM YET TO VERIFY THIS AT ALL.

One source suggestss that it never happened. So onwards digging I go....

Yes it does. It also gets old when we are told that we can't think for ourselves and have to have someone else tell us something isn't true. It's like proving a negative. Exactly how I want to live my life, that's for sure. Just stupid, stupid stupid.

This is nothing new. He probably sings every morning in the shower. It just so happened he was in a hotel room somewhere in LA when he did it this time.
