Could Perry do this?

[lights1961]

If Perry decided to do 20 shows in a 1,500 seat Vegas venue and they were Friday and Sunday shows for 10 weeks there wouldn't be one unsold ticket.

Now this would be a GREAT way to start a comeback...

If you promote it, they will come - in a big ol' Loon Stampede!

It would absolutely work, but I don't see a mutli-date show in Perry's future from looking at the last 15 years of inactivity in live performing. Good Luck on that one.

All I can say to the Loons is:

Steve Perry is not AP's age, he's 60 going on 61. SP singing at any level has been over for a long time. He had it (The best voice ever) at one time and there is a reason why the last 15 or 16 years he's done nothing. And now were almost at 2010 and were giving a thumbs up for something to happen. SP let his best years or twilight years pass him by. He did nothing for all those years and it was his decision not to release anything or make one last push. I think he made a monster mistake by not cutting 1 or even 2 CD's in that time frame or period. His style and voice (Lower register) would have been perfect for years and generations to hear. Maybe not a real sales product, but success at that time would have been hard for anyone do to grundge and other types of music. But better with age as his other stuff has defined his legacy, i'm more than sure of it. He plain and simple let his music life being twilight years pass him by. It's too late (Evolution).

Its not too late. There are people out there who have heard him sing and they said he still has it. I believe them, we cant say its too late we have not heard the songs. If and when he decides to release his songs then we can talk about what he should and/or shouldnt have done. Until then all this talk is Bullshit.

Well, I don't know if its "too late", but I think we can all agree that it's getting late. Time for Mister Kittens to poo, or get off the pot.

If you can do what Robert plant did, you have a chance for a comeback. I wonder whose idea it was for him to collaborate with Krauss? Granted, Led Zeppelin did have blues influences but the way he transformed himself for the Raising Sand album was genius.

Yeah, I wonder if Reba is busy?

Here's some tips on Perry's look for a Vegas show. If Tom can at his age, Perry can.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, Jana.

I'm gonna say "No" to the "look", but "Yes" to the Vegas show. Not that Perry has to go all Vegas-y or anything. Nobody wants to see Perry decked out in a Liberace-style get-up. Just a good, solid show with a good solid performance...now, if he wants to show us a little leg, hey, that's just a bonus.

[journey361]

One other thing i would like to say, Perry who without question sang one of the toughest and roughest songbooks from 1978-1987 while singing them perfectly for what they (Journey) needed him to sound like may have been his downfall. While not yelling and screaming in his vocal trade (Perry tools) he has to be somewhat pissed and somber in terms of what this long road has done to his voice and more likely confidence.
With that being said, the way each song was written and recorded up to their final take for recording purposes, it makes me wonder who Mr. Perry is pissed at or lets say feels he's owed something over the history-making legacy he gave Journey then and now. But the true fact is the wear and tear of his golden voice was brought on by all the above.
It was mostly a 9-year period of touring from 1978-1987 that took its toll and people need to try and imagine what thats like, just try and sing yourself for a night cause it ain't easy.
But what i believe hurts Steve Perry more than anything is the fact i guarantee that all these years that have passed, i bet there have been a so many people (friends, strangers, lovers, relatives, anyone) telling him how he needs to record something that and that the world misses his voice. In his mind, disapointment rears it's ugly head. He can't bring it now or in the future like he thinks the public will need him to bring it. He won't sound like what he thinks he should sound like, because he's Steve Perry. Thats probably why all these recordings are in his safe or closet and they are staying there. It's a real shame on so many levels. He's missed so much and he's always been a perfect vocalist but to have all this shit happen just really doesn't seem fair. If he were an average singer, a good singer or frankly just another singer i wouldn't be writing this. But the fact is, i grew up with him and i saw him somewhere close to 15 time from his start to his finish, and he was untouchable and by far the best ever live. In his trade i compare him to Michael Jordan or M.J. Maybe on next Mothers day, the fans or anyone who knows anything about music needs to give thanks to Mary.

While I agree with a lot of what you say Journey 361.I don't think Perry is pissed at anyone.I'm sure he knew the potential was there for vocal damage when he performed such a rough touring and recording schedule.Most singers are aware of the possibility . That being said voices can recover from a lot of misuse and with the help of a good throat specialist do so all the time..I don't think it humanly possible for any singer to sound the same as he/she did 20yrs down the road But I believe he is more than capable of delivering great music with his ditintive vocals once again .

How is it rumor if she's HEARD it with her own ears?

It was stated that he COULDN'T sing and it made someone who has heard him sing laugh. Not really hard to understand.


As you can tell, I've learned who really knows what around here.

Yeah I thought that was pretty funny too Lora. Hasn't anyone heard the David Pack CD you can hear Steve clear as a bell in the background and his voice thought not as high was strong and music to my ears wake up people he has never lost his voice he has chosen not to record and that is his buissness not ours. I'm happy we have what we do but if he played Las Vegas I would be there in a heart beat to support his music. I love VEGAS

Listen to this David Pack song. Perry and Timothy Schmitt from the Eagles both sang on it. This vid has balloons that pop up to tell you who is singing.....but you don't need them to know it's Perry's turn.

He still sounds fine.
