Journey - Live SFO 1991

[Michael Leigh]

Hey Andrew...after suffering through the journey performance, I surfed over to the autograph concert at hammerjacks and am listening to it now...it's actually not half bad! LOL

HAMMERJACK'S!!!
THE GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL CLUB IN HISTORY!!
I spent COUNTLESS hours there and even got to play there.
GOD REST HJ'S!!

This is 17 years old. Why resurrect it again?

And why set the tone for this thread by calling it awful? I'm afraid you've lost me on this one, Drew. There was nothing awful about that performance or that day. Journey hadn't been together in years - Steve hadn't sung a note in years. It was all about respect for Bill Graham. I was at the concert and I know how magic that day was. If I remember correctly, the bands were told they were going to play acoustic which is why Ross & Steve Smith weren't there. As it turned out, that wasn't the case but communication wasn't the greatest when this event was being set up.

I agree with Dan in that I think Journey were probably a bit shocked at lack of reaction from the crowd. Steve was trying everything he could do, but he was singing to a bunch of stoned Deadheads that had no clue about the words to "Lights" or "Faithfully." I would guess the first 1/3 of that crowd from the stage back were Deadheads as they got there the day before and camped out. CP and I went early the day of the show and were all the way back to the soundboard.

I was proud to be there and proud that my favorite band came together that day to pay their respects to a true legend.

Ha ha, Drew. You're in trouble with Team Perry. Not a place you want to be. Believe me...I know.

[Art Vandelay]

Ha ha, Drew. You're in trouble with Team Perry. Not a place you want to be. Believe me...I know.

This has nothing to do with being a Perry fan. It's just being realistic about the circumstances. It wasn't a rehearsed or planned performance. It's not fare to compare or critique, regardless who the performer was.

Let's say the greatest pitcher in baseball were asked to throw out the first pitch at a game after not picking up a ball in years. Would you expect him to throw 90+ mph as he did in his prime? Hell no. But you would be silly to judge him on that throw, especially 17 years after the fact.

Calm down, Nostrilfawnus. The only question that I have is why is Perry seemingly drunk or in some sort of altered state? Let's be real. If we're going to talk about how this performance was to "pay respect" to Bill Graham then why does Perry seem buzzed up and why didn't he take the time to rehearse the lyrics so he wouldn't look like a dope during Faithfully? Perhaps I'm imagining things and he was as sober as a judge and he simply gaffed on the lyrics from rust, but I don't think that was the case. Perhaps they were given short notice...I don't know, but that performance, relative to what we were accustomed to, sucked.

I thought Cain saved the performance IMO.

His dashboard has so much fucking dust on it it's like an Etch A Sketch. Then when you're done you just run your hand over it, mix the dust up and start over.

I heard his Malibu is gonna be on Pimp My Ride next week. What sort of cool options do they think they'll put on it, Steve? This should be good.

Do they still have WAWA's? Wow, I haven't been in one of those in years.

WaWa rocks! Home of the Gadzooks ice cream!

I agree with Dan in that I think Journey were probably a bit shocked at lack of reaction from the crowd.

They were dead, they were absolutely DEAD.

Seems like they've been the victims of big-time snobbery in their own town?

I saw a lot worse reaction when they opened for the Stones during the "Tattoo You" tour. Deadheads and Santana fans may not be all that stoked to be listening to a sappy ballad like "Faithfully", especially this Prozac version.

[WykkedSensation]

Nothin wrong with this performance, sorry but there aint..

As people have said, this is years old so why debate it all over again. Typical.
Anyone have a clue as to why Perry won't be interviewed by this site?

Pff.
A major hoot coming from deadheads, fans of the worst music ever committed.

Nah. You had 2/3rds of the audience filled with slightly coherent, unbathed "dead heads." Their intelligence is on par with that of the last days of Terry Schiavo.

[Red13JoePa]

Jesus.
The Dead, talk about stealing money how they ever sold an album or ticket has me flabbergasted.

I get the beatles for goddsakes more than i get the dead.
I hope Garcia IS really grateful now.

[tammy]

Thanks, Lora B.! I remember cyndy explaining once the audience being mostly deadheads 'cuz I wondered why no one was singing. I've always loved that part where SP earnestly tries to get them to sing - he just has that "certain something" evident even in this concert and he always will... (plus, he looks so sexy): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgKOCBAkPKU

First thing is one of those sex machines. One with a big red flexashaft on the front. A little fridge to keep his snickers chilled{so the tightwad can make an extras 50 cents} An autographed poster of PRESIDENT OBAMA .A mexican flag on the antena.A 50 cd changer in the truck to hold all of his fucking gay friga solo Cds.A custom trailer attached to hold all the worthless garbage the he hauls to all the concerts for those poor souls to sign.A hepa filter to keep the air from becoming toxic from all that garbage he eats from White Castle.A mini toilet so Dan does have to throw up on the floor{but he wont used it anyway} A condom machine {in case he gets the rearend crazies after listening to Friga sing Faithfully}A case of Strawberry Yo Hoo to put in his fridge to wash down them fuckin snickers.
