JSS - Opened the Door

Postby fredinator » Fri May 02, 2008 10:42 am

This is the version of Opened the Door by Jeff I heard on YouTube, and I thought he really butchered it despite the scratchiness, yet, some of you all have crowed about his performance of this song... Is there another video out there that I can listen to where you all said he "kicked ass" on this song (one of my very favorite songs)? I've been meaning to ask about this for a long time...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9jA8a_iaf4

I hope Neal considers playing it this summer along with some of those other great rockers...

He got off key once, but I think he did a great job on that one.
I like to sit out on the front porch, where the birds can see me, eating a plate of scrambled eggs, just so they know what I'm capable of.

Funny how 2 people can hear 2 different things. Here's a great version of Opened The Door from London March07. I love this version, sings it with feeling. http://download.yousendit.com/7F89E4B167C4CFE3

He sang it at the HOB in Orlando too, we were there for that & thought it was great live. Have no clue if there's any video of it though, but to me it sounded great while we were there.

Thanks Deb, that's a beautiful song. Not to derail the thread, but I'm curious about Eric Martin since you mention him a lot. Can you post your favorite song by him please?

Yes! Thanks! I really wanted to hear the best first. That is going to be a good concert, I'm glad you're able to go. I'm going to start listening now. Thanks again.

I don't see how you can make any kind of determination based on the sound in that video :? . The version Deb posted is much clearer and I thought he did just fine with it. To each his own, though.

The vocals on that recording can't be heard for squat. What I can hear doesn't sound all that great.

Agreed; I really appreciated hearing OTD and Winds of March & thought Jeff did a fine job on both; seemed like a tip of the hat to serious fans who get weary of the DD

Gawd, I so agree with you there, especially on DOA! That song hasn't seen passion like that since Perry. Loved it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwNIIkd7yLw Love JSS and Deen's interaction on that one. :)

Sorry if that was a dumb question. Still hoping for a Triumph forum to post in. Everyone posts here though, and I know only a bit about Journey. So if I don't know something that is obvious, please bear with me.

Not a dumb question at all. I don't think JSS even knows the exact reason.....besides the blanket public statement. He didn't even find out he was let go by the band/management. He heard it from a peer first. :roll:

Andrew, there's nothing to let go; this has not been debated before. Thanks for the link to the other video--I plan to listen to it later on tonight!! Dean, you lost credibility quite a while ago so your fuck you's, and dickbreaths, or twats or whatever don't mean a damn thing. Why Andrew didn't scold you for "twat" and ban St. John for a similar word is kind of weird. I wonder why?

You are a trouble maker. Subtle...but trouble nevertheless.

So please....do shut up.

And Dean has been given on a holiday, so he cannot defend himself. I expect no further mention of him from you.
