OT: Interesting SP Video FTLOSM Tour

[texafana]

Steve is close to 45 I think in this video? I found it interesting because clearly he's having a hard time on some of the notes in this one. Especially at the 2:32 mark, where you can see it in his eyes "this note's going to be a little tough!". He's also sometimes just singing the notes rather than the word. The tempo is a little fast, it's tuned down to what I think the band plays it now? In all fairness, it appears to be the last song of the set. I'm a huge MFSP fan, but to think this man could come close to even this performance at near 60 years old, just might be too much to ask for.

Perry on his worst day still blows Arnel away.

Was watching this video a few days ago. Little mistake by keyboard player at the start.

No Perry probably cant do this live now... but he wont be touring anyway. If he does do an album then that will be it, no tour.

I really dont think that is true. Arnel has put in better performances than Perry on this video. Perry on his worse day.. could be pretty bad.

IMO - If he sounds like this, than I am happy.....but for me I would rather see him that the others...so I give him some room on his voice, I don't expect 81 now....



and if you look at this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFn1xnPNWL0


Well then he sounds pretty good to me....I am not sure where in the concert this was.....but the VOICE is there.

I have probably seen and heard a lot more Perry-era boots than you, and he was almost superhuman. The man rarely had even a B- performance. I have yet to hear anything close from Pineda. My opinion, of course.

but to think this man could come close to even this performance at near 60 years old, just might be too much to ask for.

The problem does not lie in what he can or can not deliver. The problem lies in "asking for" and/or expecting a specific level of quality. Who cares if he "can top himself" or "match this or that performance". Plenty would simply love the chance to see him perform. I never had that chance, and I would love the opportunity. If he walked out onto a stage and didn't hit this or that note, I'm honestly NOT going to give a damn. It's about so much more than that.

And yes he does blow Arnel away, even on his "worst day". Arnel can leap around and put on a huge bright smile and get everyone excited. He's a good showman and he can emotionlessly parrot what is on the records so that the fans get to hear what they are used to and what they expect. That's what Arnel is good at - VERY good at - and that's what Journey needs.

That crowd is not made up of die-hards. The majority is casuals and back in the day hard cores who want to hear the same DSB and Separate Ways and Open Arms that was playing when they were feeling up their sister's friends in the garage.

Perry, at least the last we saw of him performing, gave the same emotion he always did, and also gave, as he always did, something considerably different than what you hear by spinning Greatest Hits over and over. And even if by some people's standards it wasn't "the best", at least it was not fake and repetitive.

Well with all of the cheering that is going on here as of late.....I say to you I second the motion....I don't expect anything and would just like to see the emotion and presence that he brings to the songs and the stage....ONE TIME!!! He needs to know that most of his true fans would not be comparing him to anything and just glad to see him on the stage!

Sorry I had to borrow your soapbox for a minute....you can have it back now

You corrected yourself before I could post. I just agree with you on this completely.

That video that was first posted here does show a slight stumble on that high note at 2:32, but the poster failed to recognize that from 4:18 to the end he hit every high note (at the end of his concert)!

The man has pipes even at 45 and I have no doubt that his pipes are still Golden at 60.

[Jana]

For one, he's not going to tour. I don't see it. Hopefully, we'll get that album out of him and his perfectionist self won't derail it.

Hardcore Perry lovers will not care what he sings, b/c it will be his first tour in 15 years and will be exciting, no matter the change in his voice, no matter the song choices. Most here know all his music solo anyway. But that audience will be made up of a whole lot of of casual fans, who heard he is back touring, most not really knowing his solo work much except hits, and remembering him back in the day of their youth with Journey. And they will be expecting a lot of the old Journey hits, which he probably can't do now, at least not a lot of them. And many of those fans would be judging him, comparing him to his early days singing those songs if he's not up to par. That would be a lot of pressure for him if his voice can't hold up to any early Journey songs, the hits, re performing on tour. So I don't see a tour happening anyway, unless he really did have an operation and his voice is strong enough to hold up.

Re a new album, he will sound great on there, singing in his voice range and doing what he does best, singing soufully and soaring with emotion.

You slay me, Portland. When Vladar posted a one-minute video clip and said turn down the sound and that Arnel was a bad frontman, you came on there not saying cheating and saying it was unfair, but telling him basically not to even bother giving his viewpoint on the board unless it's what we want to hear. Now this poster is "cheating, expected from some here" for posting a whole clip and having an opinion? You can't have it both ways. Why didn't you call out Vladin on that one minute/no sound clip trying to use that as his basis for Arnel being a lousy frontman?

As for me, I don't go by this whole song clip on Perry's ability, just like I don't go by a one-minute/no sound clip on someone's frontman ability. At least I'm consistent.

Everyone here is so knowledgeable - so tell me, didn't he cancel the later dates of the FTLOSM tour?
Anyone have a list of the tour dates he actually played?
Was it only performed in the US?

After the Trial By Fire album he dropped off the radar in the UK.

I know he cancelled the last few dates of the tour because of something his throat. There is a video on youtube of one of the last FLOSM shows and his voice sounds show (i think it was Only The Young, someone posted it ages ago. And then he got back with Journey so never finished the tour.

This might've been true in 83....
I think now that it'd be a pretty close deal.
Perry's 60, Arnel's, what 40??

Perry pre 83 could blow anyone away. Now, I think that there's too much mileage on the chords.
Of course, according to some, he's had surgery and is back to his glory-days voice. My comment to that is:
WE'LL SEE

I didn't get to see Journey when they toured here with SP in the late 70's and I am so annoyed about that because he never came to the UK again with the band.
But if I find out that he came over here in the 90's and I missed him again, I will be really upset.

I believe he canceled due to Bronchitis, which is much worse for a singer than a bum throat

That is correct, Lora has posted here that she and Cyndy had flown in for a show and he had cancelled because he was ill.

I'm pretty sure that Perry never ventured here in the 90s.

I thought I was right about him cancelling and not bringing the tour to the UK.
I hope those of you who have seen him live know how very lucky you are.
