I'm full of envy. I'd like to go back and visit the old hometown even without Journey. Seeing both would be the fabulous.

THAT is great at the end of the live version!

You are damn productive today Froy.....

That's Sunday night...three hour drive. Damn, if I was really ambitious I could actually make it to this show. LOL!

Augeri did this, as well.
Was that wrong too, in your estimation?

I think it's less of a Perry-ad lib and more of a natural extension of the tune.

I would like to hear JSS though.

Are you from the area ohsherrie...

Yeah, originally. Last time I was there was a little over year ago. I live in Virginia now. Quest is the prime venue there.

You want the story behind those words?

A Perry admirer sent Steve a card for his Birthday I believe and at the end of the card it said

Someday baby maybe your heart will be mine

That night at the concert Perry sang those words in the song and it became part of the song from that point on
Again another Perry ad lib taken by Augeri and now copied again by Jeff

Not very original Jeff,

If it was on a Saturday, I'd think about it, although I hate sitting that far back. It's Sunday and I'd have to drive three hours back and work Monday...nah. Maybe if they lower themselves to play Sioux Falls again which I'm not holding my breath on.

Who cares. Perhaps Jeff prefers one of the live versions he's heard. If that's the case, it's not surprising that he'd sing it that way. There are live songs from other bands that differ to one extent or another over the studio version and I'm sure, if I had to sing them live, I'd probably sing them closer to that version also.

Its with every song thats the problem
From Born and Raised in Philladelphia to Neil to Journey's on the road again to Someday Baby Maybe Your Heart Will Be Mine
There all being copied
So I guess they said go listen to some live Perry and come in and sing them the same way
Big Problem with that

I could hear just about any singer doing DSB that way without ever having heard Perry doing it live. Big deal.

...to Neil

Actually, it's "Neal". Again, this is a bit of a stretch to say that it's a straight copy. He's just finishing up his first vocal on the song and Neal is starting to come in with that first lick. I don't have a problem with this one, either.

...to Journey's on the road again...

I've never heard Perry sing it this way but have heard Augeri do it. I personally like the original lyrics better so I'll give you this one.

...to Someday Baby Maybe Your Heart Will Be Mine...

I like this version of the song much better, so I'd probably sing it that way, too.

I seriously doubt they told Jeff to be a Perry doppelganger.

Would you say that Steve Perry's solo band during the FTLOSM tour were a Neal Schon tribute band when they did the Journey songs, since Lincoln Brewster copied a lot of Neal's licks for those tunes?

Posted: **Thu Oct 19, 2006 2:47 am**

I recall dubious stories floating of Jon coaching Augeri to "do it again, but this time more like Perry" during the early days of rehearsal.

Haven't we lived thru this once already?

If you're opposed to Journey touring w/out Perry, u are likely to remain a miscontent for quite some time.

Posted: **Thu Oct 19, 2006 2:48 am**

Why the hell do some of you post on a Journey forum if you are so enamored with Perry and only Perry? Get out of the house, find something that is positive to do, and get a fucking life that is beyond pining for days gone by. Journey is out making people smile and having fun, in the now. There is nothing wrong with playing songs people want to hear; last time I checked there was more than one name listed for writing credits.... oh wait "Faithfully" was written solely by Cain. Find something new to argue, this is so old :roll:

Larry, DO NOT insult the dorks of this world by making such a comparison!

BTW- A "Steve Perry tribute band" :lol:

too funny. I have not heard any Perry songs being performed by Journey on this tour or the last few I've seen. Perry's solo work is pretty much shit when held up to Journey music, imo. I enjoyed Street Talk, but his other solo stuff, mmmm not so much.

Posted: **Thu Oct 19, 2006 3:27 am**

Ok, lets see if I can do a little diplomatic negotiating here. I think the respect that Jeff has for Perry makes his use of some of the Perryisms a sort of tribute to him. Also, since they are playing the songs from the Perry era, the tour is in essence a tribute to that era. You can see that as a negative or a positive depending on your point of view, but the only way the band is going to move away from that characterization is to do something new that the audiences will accept as new Journey music just like they accepted all the new music that was introduced during the 80s.

I doubt that Jeff wants or intends to make a career out paying tribute to Perry so I think something new is on the way. Until then, if the band is going to finish this tour they have no choice but to play the songs that the audience expects to hear and perform them in a way that will be accepted as Journey by them. The next tour in support of a new CD will be the acid test for a lot of fans who don't want to hear another singer do the Perry hits.

Dude, what the fuck is your problem? NOTHING is being "copied." The songs are being sung they way they were once upon a time. Jeff isn't stupid. He knows that there was a time, some time ago, when these songs were insanely popular. He's merely taking us back in time and reminding us of those days. THAT is his job. To let us "Escape" for 90 minutes, forget about our problems, and enjoy a great show. Fuck, you act like he "copied" Perry on a new album or something. His job is to entertain, asshole. You stand in the minority on this one. That is evidenced by the crowd's reaction when he "copies" Perry as you say. YOU seem to be the only one that has a problem with this. No surprise there, though. Jeff is being paid to finish this tour and the reviews have been pretty impressive considering the short notice he was given. Your jealously is very transparent.
