Elvis ( although I own no records) I did see him 1 time in 1972, Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, JSS. Lou Gramm, Dennis DeYoung,Jimi Jamison, Mickey Thomas, and no other more than Steve Perry.

Here here.

Even though "Hutchence" is one of SJ's pet names for AJM when they're locking horns, he was damn near mezmerizing.

Saw live once in Philadelphia but check the Live, Baby Live album or dvd (Wembly, 90k) and see how the guy could turn a stadium show into one of those pub gigs down under they did back in the day.

Hopefully Fortune has seen that film.

Yup - Live Baby Live DVD gets regular play around here. One of my top 2 for sure.

Pete Townshend is my favorite performer followed by Steve Perry.

I'm not some wide-eyed, strung out Gwar or KISS retard giving myself a mental handjob when the singer struts, wiggles, shakes, bounces and bends. I watch all of the members, and what they do while they perform means nothing compared to how well they actually sound. I actually like checking out the crowd, scanning for nice tits, and rocking out with my eyes closed at times. I find there to be virtually no difference in the way Perry, Augeri and Arnel sang/presented the material. I had minor issues with Soto, but I'm gagged so I won't explain what they were. I now know how Neal and Jon feel.

You'd save more money if you just listened to a boot, then. Most people go to see a show, not just listen to audio.

Point signed, sealed, and delivered.

I'd rather pay to go see a band play three-chord riffs while commanding a stage and entertaining and delivering their songs, than going and seeing musically profound folks sitting on stools and staring at their clogs while playing with no emotion.

I'm sure many agree.

Amen.

Album peaked #1 over here (like Journey, it was preceeded by a CBS Sunday morning piece).
You buy it?

Would have, but I got a promo. Good too...for an acoustic based record at least. Can't beat his 70's/early 80s output. Genius songwriter.

David Lee Roth is one of the greatest frontmen of all-time.

No comment.

Agreed. Especially Blades and Nugent. Mercury was very good too.

I don't know about this, talent and songs aside.
