it was ok.... during the real "highs" seems like Deen takes over, and the taped "backing vocals" are taken up in the mix..so pretty much like it sounded with Augeri in that respect.
Its adequate.. but for me.... JSS doesnt have that "special" voice that makes the likes of Perry(or Augeri, when at his best... in the studio !!)..... Jamieson, or even Bickler stand out from the crowd... its a good voice, but simply doesnt have the "wow" factor.
If thats as good as its gonna get... its gonna have to be the quality of any new songs that are gonna clinch it, and not the singer...which is a complete reverse for Journey!!
sorry...thats my opinion as of this moment!
im prepared to change on this.... if I hear the magic that you evidently are hearing right now!

Dead or Alive is one of my fav kick ass Journey songs, but Perry OWNED it live. I'm just not feelin' the love on this one with JSS. As long as they bring in all the old classics with Perry's vocal acrobatics stamped into my memory soundboard, this ain't gonna fly for me. The last classic DVD will be etched in my memory forever.
Soul Sirkus stuff kicks ass and Jeff does a great job on alot of the Journey classics, but this one is just untouchable, IMO. I never heard Augeri attempt this one. If I did, I'd probably have to go take a shower or something. Journey needs new tunes...badly. You can't improve on the old stuff, so please leave it alone. I'd rather hear something like New Position with Soul Sirkus than any more frontmen attempting Journey classics. Don't get me wrong, Jeff sounds really great on alot of the stuff, but a few of those classics sound too odd with somebody/ANYbody else attempting them.

JrnyScarab wrote:What no one seems to mention is that as great as Perry was, Jeff's voice is much lower than either Augeri or Perry's. To be able to hit these high notes in FULL voice and not falsetto is pretty amazing. I think (I'm not sure) Augeri and Perry are tenors but Jeff is not.

Exactly. Jeff kicks ass live.
I have an awful, rushed version of "Stevie the Voice" from 86 totally ruining Ask the Lonely. Most of the live material ever heard from "Stevie the Voice" is not raw board, or boot. It was released after careful consideration. This stuff Deano posted is flying by the seat of the pants LIVE and it rocks!
These posts are excellent snapshots of ONE night and I think they are incredible. Thanks for posting them!
