Even though on the last thread that asked the question, I stated that was his worst vocal performance just because he was rusty from not singing, but then I added he looked extremely handsome. So I would have still been satisfied at the concert. I'm very shallow too :wink:.

It just seemed off from the standpoint of being a trio up there without Ross and Steve S. I still wonder if they were asked to perform with them and they were still pissed over being fired for ROR and wouldn't or if they were never even asked to perform with them there.


Jana, Lora posted this a couple pages back about why RV and SS weren't there. :)

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 don't think it sounds that bad at all...certainly not his best performance, but guess what ...half of steve perry is better than 100% of most artists

I'm not hearing what's so 'awful' about this performance either. Sure - the crowd reaction is pitiful but Journey would have got this reaction in 1981 as well. This is still a far superior performance of these songs to any of the versions I heard with the last three line-ups of the band and that's for sure.

Andrew - if you want to hear painful live music then look no further than these jokers.... :wink:

I did not think this was as bad as everyone said. However, this IMO was just a bad idea for them to do period. I know it was a good cause, but Steve should have told them he had a cold or something.

After listening to this I hit youtube to watch the New York 94 Perry stuff. It may have been tuned down but I thought it was pretty darn good. Missing You is one of my all-time Perry vocals and he did a great job. I wish (as do others I am sure) that he would do a bunch of new stuff in the same vein as Missing You. Full of soul and no need for crazy high notes, just the way I like to hear him. For the record, my favorite Perry is ROR Tour raspy Perry. Damn was he good.

I also think Herbie Herbert has got to take some blame for blowing out Perry's voice. He never wanted the machine to stop. It is insane to expect year after year of top notch vocal performances without adequate rest or care....but I digress.

Back to youtube for more.........

Just saying 'welcome on your first post!'

Now back to the insanity :D
Why treat life as a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in an attractive & well-preserved body? Get there by skidding in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand, chocolate in the other, body totally worn out, screaming WOOHOO! What a ride!

Thanks.

I have been lurking for quite a while now and have seen all of the fireworks in the last 6 months.

I guess you are correct....

Sorry to bring this thread back up, but a long-time question of mine resurfaced after listening to this performance again for the first time in quite awhile. During that piece between "Faithfully" and "Lights", what the hell does Perry sing right after "oooh we shared, oh shared...."??? I've never been able to fully understand what he says, and I'm usually pretty good at deciphering lyrics. It kind of sounds like "so many things", which would maybe make sense in the song, but I don't think thats it. Anyone?

Here's the lyrics...or at least the best I can determine them

ooh we're sad, oh sad, so sad
there'll be mornings, lots of mornings
way out (??), way out (??)
on that lonely road
on that lonely road
without you

I have a dvd of this, Perry and the band didn't show much life on stage, or in the music.

I'd bet that was due to the reason for them being there.

THANK YOU!!! I now clearly hear that it's "ooh we're sad, oh sad, so very sad" Man, thats been bugging the hell out of me for a little over a decade! I always thought he said "shared", and somehow never made the obvious consideration/connection of "sad" due to the circumstances. Feeling REALLY dumb right now. :oops:

I've done that. Misheard lyrics for years, only to find out what they really are, and how much sense it makes that they are the way they are, and how dumb I felt thinking it was the other. More Than A Feeling by Boston is one. I won't even tell you the specifics. :lol:
