Yes, I have the David Pack cd - excellent CD, even without Perry's contributions (although appreciated) ... I bought it because I love Ambrosia / David Pack, AND of course, it had a new track w/ Steve Perry on it - still very rare ...
After that, he did a track with the punk band, GUFF, the next year (recorded in 2006, released officially in 2007), as their remake of "I Can See It In Your Eyes", the bonus track from Journey's TBF cd - the original track should have been on the CD to begin with - one of Journey's most hard-rocking tunes in a LONG time, IMHO ...
Still, he did a good enough job re-doing it GUFF as background vocals and production ...
On the David Pack CD, his vocals are very clear, up-front in the mix (more like co-vocal lead instead of backgrounds, etc.) - a stronger contribution to this track ...
In some ways, I cconsider the David Pack cut to be the last real track that he recorded and released commercially ... Hard to believe that came out in August of 2005 ....
Anyhoo, its great to have Steve back in whatever limited form he chooses - working on Journey Remaster projects, interview promotion (radio and print) the last 4 months, and now, this track with Csssidy / Boheme ...
Somehow, in spite of the fact that he says he's building a recording studio in his home, and that he's also recorded a Beatles cover tune, Idon't really feel that we'll see this new music released ... My gut tells me that we'll continue to have print and radio interviews for a long time, and occasional one-off tracks with co-vocals / backgrounds, etc. like these, going forward ...Of course, I really do hope I'm proven wrong, but if not, we'll have to be happy with the music, and other gifts (interviews, remaster compilation projects, DVDs, etc.) that he's given us over the years ...
Best Regards,
Michael
