Favorite Perry Song

by **SteveForever** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 12:36 am

In honor of Perry's birthday...what is your favorite song, any rendition, any year,

"Why Can't This Night Go On Forever" is mine, love every version of it.......Happy Birthday Steve wherever you may be....

Tough one. I have favorite Journey songs (E5C4P3 and Little Girl), so I guess either of them.

The one that made my jaw drop the first time I heard it has to be Something to Hide, when he hits those high notes at the end. And the end of Mother, Father. Those four are my faves.

Stay Awhile
Too Late
Precious Time
Lovin' You is Easy
People & Places

I have many favorites depending on my mood but I particularly love the early stuff.

This should be kept to solo, for which I'll volunteer You Better Wait, though both Friends Of Mine and Can't Stop are pretty cool.

Solo? Has to be something off Street Talk... maybe She's Mine. Love the mood of that tune.

Grandpa, it doesn't have to be solo work, it can be anything Perry ever sang...have some more coffee.

Missing You----------Love that song------

Live version of Patiently is sublime...

Let Go , and Captured by the Moment, ever noticed that no one ever picks songs from Against the Wall.. somehow that one missed me ... when Dont Fight It came out... that was my favorite!

Yeah, I was BIG into that tune when it came out. Still love it. Didn't Neal Geraldo play the guitar on that?

God I detest Journey having to cover that song live....but anything w/ Giraldo can't be THAT bad. My man can blaze.

How 'bout it, NMT?

Faithfully, After The Fall and Why Can't This Night Go On Forever as far as ballads go. Mid tempo/rockers would be Mother Father, Separate Ways and Stone In Love.

I know this has been posted before, but just a reminder that Perry was a bad ass... :twisted:

With Journey....Happy To Give
Solo...
1.) Once In A Lifetime, Girl
2.) I Believe
3.) When Your In Love For The First Time ( like the tropical vibe with the steel drums)
4.) the little snippet of Let It Be Me ( Live, a cappella )
5.) This is out there, but....any recording , radio interview or tour, where Steve Perry is laughing......I love his laugh.....listening to people laugh always brings a smile!

by **PROPERRY** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 2:46 am

I'll take for Journey, "Girl Can't Help It" and for Perry's solo, I'll have to take 2 songs, "Can't Stop" and "Missing You"

Man that's a tough one. I guess my all time favorite song that SP ever sang would be when he did a cover of Jailhouse Rock.

Just kidding.

ESCAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like most songs off of that album. But Escape is the best. NIG says so also.

Favorite solo has to be Strung Out. Man, I love that song.

Right up there with it is his colaboration with Kenny on Don't fight It.
