And people still say Perrys voice never got shot

[musicfan17]

Well, after viewing the clip posted here and a bunch of others of SP from the FTLOSM tour it would seem that he struggled with more than a few Journey songs. That Stone In Love and Only The Young were downright painful to listen to and although the soul and tone is there on Stay Awhile....the range is very much lacking. Even a couple boots of Faithfully I found from 94-95 sound strained and you could tell he was struggling to stay up there.

That being said...he could still bring it on certain nights and certain songs. To me his voice wasn't consistently good in that range anymore. I have no doubt that he could go in the studio on a good day and knock out some killer stuff, but like many others here...I don't think that will happen anytime soon, and I don't expect to hear anything close to SP from 1994 even. The clips do show one thing, that SP was not the master vocalist by the 90's that many of the perry loons seem to recall. I hope we see some new music from him, but I won't hold my breath.

it's very legit--it was the opening night of the FTLOSM tour. To the best of my knowledge, that was the only night Stone in Love and Open Arms were performed on the tour. Send Her My Love may have made another appearance at some point. The audio for the entire show is out there. That's just a clip of one song. Steve Perry was subject to the same amount of audience recordings as any other touring act out there, and there are plenty of shows from that tour available--very few of decent quality however and no professionally recorded ones.

Anyways, you can't fake something like that and get it by critical ears. Some people can come very close to copying Perry's vocal delivery style and range, but NOBODY can duplicate the tonal quality of someone else's voice--that is unique to every singer.

I saw Perry 2x during his FTLOSM tour. His voice was shredded and his backup band (with the exception of Lincoln Brewster) sucked. A few of the songs were tuned down a notch or two so he could handle them (just like SIL is in this youtube clip).

His voice maybe shot from overuse, but lots of you's voices were shot from birth.

The perfect example that comes to mind for me is Elton John. It's no secret on this board that his early albums are near and dear to my heart. Absolute classics. But as time went on and the rigorous touring took a toll on Elton's voice, his renditions of the earlier songs weren't equal to the original brilliance. Especially songs such as Tiny Dancer and Yellow Brick Road. I've heard him strain to hit those notes, and while it didn't sound the prettiest, nobody cared at the time. He would even flat out say in concert in the early 90's that he just could not perform them anymore.

But then he reworked them to his current vocal range, and has done a magnificent job with it. While they are nowhere near the original versions, you can bet your ass that the entire arena is up and singing and enjoying it as he sings the songs in a fashion that suits his current vocals. And it still sounds amazing.

Whether Mr. P ever decides to release new material, either on disc or via a web page....if the quality is anywhere near the below link, I can't imagine anyone complaining. And remember, this was recorded to suit his vocal range....3-1/2 years after the Medicine tour that so many people here like to piss on.

So why do you care? You guys are actually starting to turn me against AP and I didn't think that was possible.

You don't have to put down another vocalist just to try to build up another one. Let AP stand on his own.

Fuck it! I ain't draggin' AP here or anybody. I'm just responding to this thread.

Some of you people that have your head's up either Arnel's ass, (or Augeri's) better get ready for the Youtube clips when Arnel's voice gets roadworn from Journey using him up. We've already seen what it did to Augeri in short order.

It's a miracle Perry had a voice left at all, after the degree of touring he did with Journey in their heyday. Let somebody else sing those songs as long as he did in that range and show me what is left of their voices.
Wait....there's always lippin'! That works fine for alot of you. I remember some of you actually PREFERRED it! Perry would rather give it all he has than do that. Makes for a less than perfect concert experience, though, if you would rather have a lipped performance, as so many bands are doing these days.

The majority of Perry's FTLOSM tour vocals were flat out kick ass. They were something none of us thought we'd ever see/hear again from him.

Remember the Augeri YouTube's with the giant microphone? Arnel is next, so get ready, all you geeks that think he can out-Perry Perry.

We were damn lucky Perry even did the FTLOSM shows and a hell of alot of people enjoyed them, dumbasses.

I think Arnels voice is stronger than Augeri's,Augeri by all accounts from the word go was struggling live thats why the 2001 dvd was rerecorded. Long before he went to tape all night he was by all accounts having the harddrive help with some songs from the beginning of his tour of duty with Journey!
Arnel seems to have a lot of strength and range and hopefully the band wont burn him out,would they go to tape again if he had problems...you betch ya!

It's great to see people sticking up for Augeri, but I think AP's voice is stronger as well. I just hope it holds out. Someone on another board said they've already started adding dates to the tour. That's worrisome.

This was Perry's first concert he was rusty
I wish I had the Pantages he was blazing by mid tour..
The band he had sucked .

This is a great post. Last fall I saw Elton John in concert in Las Vegas. Yes, his voice has taken a toll and yes he strained to hit some notes but, as this poster pointed out, the crowd really was into it and singing along and enjoying it. One of this things I enjoyed the most was listening to him talk and tell stories inbetween songs. I don't care if Perry's vocal range is different - I just want the chance to see him one more time, hear his voice one more time, and listen to what he has to say, one more time..........

OK, Scardy Girl I don't wanna bring up this fuckin' topic again when I said "end of story". But since you're fuckin' callin' me out here. I felt I'm being compelled to do so. On the record and you can check out all my previous posts. I never thrash Perry's Legacy on this board. But the Delusional Perry Worshippers like you who still can't accept the fuckin' truth - that " The Legend is Done" is what fuckin' irritates a lot of people on this board like me. My point is, why the fuck do you want the Greatest Rock Vocalist of all time (IMO) who's retired and shot to come out of his fuckin' retirement?? What??? To be exposed and fuckin' embarassed. Fuck that!! His Legacy is cemented already and Pineda can't touch him. If ya'll really love Perry, leave the fuckin' guy alone, he's gettin' paid like a Motha Fucka anyway.

Ok, check out this Perry clip w/c I posted on page 1 of this thread. Judge for youself fairly and honestly whether he's fuckin' vocals is already shot or not. Then come back to me, alright

You know what? I listened to Stone in Love from 94 and yes, his voice is strained, not at all at the level of Escape, but the tone and the emotion is still there. As far as him getting paid like a mother fucker. If you're going to curse, spelling please. Damn right he's getting paid, and well he should. His name and voice are all over the dirty dozen. It's called COPY RIGHT you ass hole. Just because he's no longer with the band doesn't mean his rights stop. Every time one of his songs he either wrote or co-wrote is sung he is getting paid. Just like Cain and Schon.
