Steve Perry Tour

Yes it would! Love that song and Captured By The Moment off of Street Talk. The rest is mediocre at best.

Listen to your boots, Col.

Sent you a killer one of Journey doing Strung Out on the ROR tour...Oh Sherrie was great too.

If/ When Steve Perry tours what do you think his set list would look like.

This:

thank you for that ...

No offense, but it's like a daily thing where that old man gets brought up in cd/touring discusions...

Unless you spin your TBF cd, I'm afraid you are out of luck.


I did get to see Augeri do it in 2001 and it sounded great.

Not all surgeries have the same recovery. My daughter had a total hip replacement 11 yrs ago and still has pain and limps sometimes. She will have to have another in the next couple of yrs.

ya, I wasn't even sure of the significance of that quote, but I guess it is reffering to steve perry. what the quoter failed to take into account is all the headlines that read something like " this old person died after hip surgery", as well as all the cases that have gone awry/long recovery times. confirmation bias whooo!!!

[FishinMagician]

This:

Just like what Neal's checkbook would look like if HH hadn't forced SP into his life. Before that Journey was playing fusion/prog crap for burned out hippies.

ya, musical music sucks. lets stick with the I V vi IV ( I do like that progression, but come on)

LMFAO!

Thats just mean!!!

And dumb.

lol...I was just copying and pasting the setlist of the last 15 years.

His set lists never included doing a Milli Vanill act, or having his drummer have to bail him out of a few songs that he couldn't sing.

Funny stuff.

I think the truth is that most people want to hear Steve Perry singing Journey songs.

Not true. There are several solo songs I would love to hear Perry perform live in addition with a few Journey songs. And I'm sure I'm just one of many who would echo that sentiment.

I'd love to know how you wanting Perry to sing solo songs "in addition to a few Journey ones" proves me wrong.

[Gideon]

I'm not trying to be mean, by the way. It's just that, from all of the comments and feedback that I've seen, the overwhelming majority of the Perry die hards want to see Perry back with Journey. Sure, I think people would like to see Perry back in any form, but what they seem to really want is Perry's voice singing up front with Journey songs.

That's why you have so many people demanding that they "reunite" and "work things out." That's why "Don't Stop Believin'" is the most downloaded song on iTunes and "Oh Sherrie"... is not.

Comparatively, people don't give a shit about Street Talk or For the Love of Strange Medicine. You yourself admitted you'd want Perry to sing some Journey, too. Perry himself knew that, because he played those songs under his tour.

You're not wrong. Its the same principle as the general audience at a Journey show not giving a care about the Revelation material. There are WAY more casual fans (in both cases) than die hards who actually know all the words to "You Better Wait", or whatever. The name Steve Perry is, whether he or they like it or not, synonomous with Journey, and if he doesn't bust out DSB and the like, he's gonna get tomatoes thrown at him.

I don't think you're being mean, I just think you're being kind of smug when you really have no room to be. First of all, anybody who loves Journey wants to see Perry on stage again. Those who say they don't either are new fans of the band, plain out stupid, too young to know either way, or they are plain out lying. Secondly, wanting to see Perry front Journey again does not disprove what I have stated before about Perry singing solo album songs. Would I like to see Perry sing with Journey again? Sure! But I would also love to see Perry do a solo tour singing his solo stuff, because there are a lot of great songs that are on his solo albums. Because you don't agree with me does not make you right, it just means you don't appreciate this band's history and it's former band members like I do.

And saying people don't give a shit about Perry's solo stuff is a dumb statement to make . Just because Perry played a few Journey songs on his tour does not mean it was because people didn't like his solo stuff. Every lead singer of a popular rock band that tours as a solo act is going to perform songs from his/her band with the exception of maybe a few singers. That does not mean fans don't want to hear the solo stuff. It just means that it is expected of them to perform a few of those songs. Perry performed quite a few of his solo stuff in concert. Inversely, he also performed solo stuff when he last toured with Journey. So, I'd say you're completely wrong on that one.

[Gideon]

I don't think you're being mean, I just think you're being kind of smug when you really have no room to be.

First, I wouldn't try to conjure intent from text. It's a false science; text lacks intonation or nuance, preventing you, me, and anyone else not named Jesus Christ from understanding what I meant.

Second, this whole response is littered with blanket statements and assumptions on your part. You're not qualified to dictate policy to the rest of us and you don't even bother using qualifiers (e.g. "I think" or "in my opinion"); some would interpret that as smug.

First of all, anybody who loves Journey wants to see Perry on stage again.

This is the first of the many blanket statements you make and yet are not qualified to issue with any given authority. I would ask "who are you to decide who is and isn't a Journey fan", but I'd imagine I'd get no response.

I am a Journey fan, whether you like it or not, and I couldn't give two shits about seeing Steve Perry return to the stage. Ideally, it would be nice, but only if he could sing akin to how he used to. If he performs like the aging asthmatic that some of his latest releases suggest, his name being "Steve Perry" and former station as a vocal god wouldn't save him from my scorn or my disdain.

But, then again, I'm not one of the many people with my head crammed so far up Mr. Perry's ass that we chew with the same set of teeth (not that you are, either, but those people are out there).

Those who say they don't either are new fans of the band, plain out stupid, too young to know either way, or they are plain out lying.

I'm none of the above. And this is the second blanket statement from you that you're not qualified to make.

Secondly, wanting to see Perry front Journey again does not disprove what I have stated before about Perry singing solo album songs.

No one said it did. But you said you'd love to see him perform live "in addition to some Journey songs." Clearly, if you had it your way, he wouldn't just sing his solo material. Neither, so it seems, would the general public.

Would I like to see Perry sing with Journey again? Sure! But I would also love to see Perry do a solo tour singing his solo stuff, because there are a lot of great songs that are on his solo albums.

Yes, and I think there are a lot of great songs on Arrival and Revelation; compared to what is considered "classic Journey", though, the public doesn't care. And so is the case with Street Talk and For the Love of Strange Medicine. The truth is in the numbers; the public is primarily concerned with a Steve Perry fronted Journey, not Steve Perry himself. And this is when he had the benefit of putting albums out during Journey's media and cultural heyday.

Because you don't agree with me does not make you right, it just means you don't appreciate this band's history and it's former band members like I do.

This is the third blanket statement you've made that you're not qualified to make.

What this means is that I manage to be a Steve Perry without becoming a malignant growth on his ass cheeks. In contrast, you've demonstrated in the NealmutherfuckingSchon thread that all you intend to do is espouse Perry apologia; whining about invisible attacks and people disrespecting his contributions to the band. In short, you demonstrate selective vision and an extreme bias. No one denies that the man is a fantastic vocalist who was a major factor in the band's success. But the facts also show that he was an egomaniacal asshole who cost the band a great deal of time, money, and creativity because, for whatever reason, he lacked their stamina.

And saying people don't give a shit about Perry's solo stuff is a dumb statement to make .

This is the fourth blanket statement you've made that you're not qualified to make.

What's dumb is that you ignore two critical points. First, I said "comparatively." Second, the statement is proven by the record sales. Journey's sold 45 million albums in the US and 75 million, allegedly, across the globe. Tell me how much Perry sold by himself. I'd be shocked if it reached double digits at all. The bottom line? The general public care more about "the classic Journey", a line up which includes Perry, but is not limited to him.

Just because Perry played a few Journey songs on his tour does not mean it was because people didn't like his solo stuff.

I didn't say they didn't like it. I said they preferred classic Journey.

Every lead singer of a popular rock band that tours as a solo act is going to perform songs from his/her band with the exception of maybe a few singers. That does not mean fans don't want to hear the solo stuff. It just means that it is expected of them to perform a few of those songs. Perry performed quite a few of his solo stuff in concert.

Not sure how this is relevant, since you've clearly misunderstood my premise.

Inversely, he also performed solo stuff when he last toured with Journey.

At the behest of Herbie Herbert. Not because the masses were screaming for "Oh Sherrie" as opposed to "Open Arms."

So, I'd say you're completely wrong on that one

With all due respect, you clearly don't understand my argument. And you're hellbent on making blanket statements you can't support. So I'm not sure how this matters.

[kgdjpubs]

You Better Wait, Melody, She's Mine, Strung Out and if he has the voice for it Oh Sherrie.
Would be nice to hear one or two of his Journey hits, such as Faithfully.

Better start saving for my plane ticket *rattles jar*.....

Oh Sherrie is easier to sing than Strung Out. There's a reason Oh Sherrie got played on FTLOSM, and Strung Out didn't. Strung Out is just as high, much faster, and vocally, more taxing to sing. If your voice is going to crack, it's going to be on Strung Out because of the speed and lung capacity--or lack thereof.

I tend to agree with Gideon here. 98% of the people that would see a Perry solo concert are there because they are Journey fans, not Steve Perry fans--and certainly not FTLOSM fans. Of course, Perry didn't want to be a tribute act, so he puts a bunch of solo material in there also. Give the guy his credit though--he isn't stupid. He knows what the audience wants, which is why you didn't see a show that was 80% solo material with 2-3 Journey songs put in for good measure. He'd lose the audience if he did a show like that.

Give him credit that he did as many solo songs as he did, but the vast majority of people went to those shows to see "the voice of Journey", NOT "Steve Perry, the solo artist".

I just don't care, if he does great I'll listen if I get a ticket but I don't care either way.

Not true for everyone...I have been a Jounrey fan for 26 years strong....I own almost everything out there audio wise..Legit, bootlegs, etc....

My favorite album is and most likely be Infinity, followed by Captured, followed by Infinity, and so forth.

I wished I could have been in hollywood for the ceremony in 05 where many of my friends got to meet and shakes hands with Mr. Perry.


BUT

I have no desire to see him with Journey EVER again...

Does that make me stupid? Nope.
