Bill Graham memorial concert...

[donnaplease]

I'm a MAJOR loon, but come on guys, that performance was NOT good. I cringe when I see it. Everyone's entitled to f'up at least once, though, so he's forgiven in my book. Then again, watching Fabio in the background (barf) almost makes it worthwhile to watch.

IMO it's hard for us to challenge the Arneliot's contention that everything Arnel sings is golden when we won't admit to a bad performance by SP when we see it.

Just another passive-aggressive and outward way of saying "thank you," when inwardly both he and Herbert know there's not a shred of honesty in those words. Sort of like OJ Simpson smiling and telling the Goldman and Brown families that he's gonna continue to hunt for the "real killer." Total class.

Dan, that's bullshit. Quit being an ass!

There's no comparing the two. One is a Hall of Fame singer, the other a karaoke singer who has never written a top 200 song. Don't have much to worry about re: the Pinheads. They're fucking delusional. Hell, most want him to sing the Super Bowl next year and erect a shrine in his honour at some flea infested, dog shit Filipino town. If you need an instant come back to the Pinheads donna, simple say, "Scoreboard." The scoreboard never lies.

Funny as all Hell dude, but of course not correct. Are you on the sauce already this morning?

Trust me, I KNOW there is no comparison between Arnel and SP. We loons get such a bad rap, though, for not acknowledging any of SP's shortcomings, and IMO that concert was one.

Problem with the scoreboard is that they also try to use it to bolster their argument regarding Arnel's credibility. He (Jrny) was given a 4-for-1 deal that IMO skews the scoreboard. Even with that, we still win, though!

Agreed. I make no bones about my loon status, but, c'mon. Just because one is a Loon doesn't mean you can't call crap crap...and that performance was crap. Maybe for any other artist that would have been fine, but not Perry. Sorry. No way.

It was just a hot mess. Magic? Chemistry? Those guys looked like they didn't even know each other. And to top it all off, there's Perry imploring the crowd to sing along because, well...damned if he can remember the words... it was just a mess.

[Red13JoePa]

It was just a hot mess. Magic? Chemistry? Those guys looked like they didn't even know each other.

Well at that point it was still early on atop the 1-way-street called "I Say When "Journey" Takes Action" paved by steve(phen) perry.

Schon/Cain were still in fool me once mode so when he said "jump" they still said "ok how high?" so you got the checkeredness of the Grahm tribute.

Btw I think his performance was ok given the conditions and it was TOTALLY cool to see, as the box set liner notes so eloquently indicate, "the three horsemen of Journey" riding again.

But the antics of stomping about, screaming, making wild gestures, trying to incite the crowd etc were totally out of place given the circumstances.

But OVERall, I will fault him for a lot of things, but not for showing up for a tribute to Grahm.

[fredinator]

I think what I'm trying to emphasize is that the first couple of times I listened/saw this tribute: 1. I heard the sadness and melancholy of Neal's guitar (beautiful); 2. I thought that Perry had pretty much lost his voice; and 3. the coaxing of the crowd embarrassed me a little for him. I heard/saw it a couple of years ago.

Then, the other day at work the songs came on my mp3 player with my headphones on and the volume up pretty loud. I was blown away by the absolute beauty of the whole set. I guess I'm asking to give it a try with just headphones and up fairly loud and see what you think then... Listening to it that way made me think about Perry's voice in a whole different way--he just sounded a little rusty but not out of gas. He coaxed the crowd because in the background I could hear groups of people shouting "faithfully!" when he paused... That's why he sounded so grateful during the pauses...

Oh, well--I give up. It's okay--I know I heard it. That's why I voted "no" to haven't given up on SP in the other thread, lol.

[Marabelle]

Sad. Sad. Sad. The moment was sad. The music was melancholy and I think the folks from Journey were sad for the loss of this man who meant so much to the music world. I think that the audience had ideas what they wanted to be sung once they saw Steve; and Steve had in his head what he wanted to sing. Sometimes the two things don't mix. It was a sort of "goodbye and farewell" to Grahamn for his passion and contribution to the industry for the musicians. On the other hand, the audience saw Steve and it was all about saying "hello and stay awhile and sing" for Steve Perry. It was that kind of moment. They didn't want to go along with just hearing him sing the sad lower keyed rendition of a song; they wanted to rejoice that afternoon for having him back with the guys and just not solemnly grieve the loss on that stage for Mr. Grahamn. It could have been wild and happy but that's not what I think the guys were feeling at the time. It will always be not what the audience wanted to hear or see them play but I think a moment when Steve finally was able to sing how he truly felt for once and the sad thing is nobody cared and still don't seem to get it even to this day.

[Pacfanweb]

Meh, so SP's voice was a little rough. So? That's no proof of his "voice starting to fail"....I believe there's plenty of video evidence of him in concert a few years later where his voice was MUCH better to refute that. Just one of those days.

Still a cool little performance, considering the circumstances all around. It was still SMFP on stage with Neal.....that's never NOT cool.

[Aaron]

Dan, you know I love you bro but this comment brings me out of the wood work. The dude is still Steve Perry. He wrote the lyrics which gives him the right to change them (or fuck them up) as he sees fit. A full step down, he's still Steve Perry and still great. You're ok with a replacement sing requiring a half step detune after half a tour ... no way brother. If a replacement can't do it in the original key then get someone who can. Steve Perry down a full step with Fro, I'd pay to see that. Arnel a half step down ... I'll pass again this year and go see Hugo or Jeremey.

That was atrocious. Fucking up the lyrics to Faithfully, being up there blitzed and downtuning a whole step with an out of shape voice. Garbage.

The performance should be judged on merit and not "who" he is (or, more accurately, who he was!). The performance sucked from virtually every aspect. What the fuck was good about it? And saying "It's Steve Perry!!!" drags your credibility into cheerleader territory.

And Arnel has nothing to do with this performance. I don't see the relevance of even mentioning him. We're talking about a horrible performance vocally, a horrible performance lyrically and a horrible performance as far as the mood of the event goes, and acting like The Rally Monkey at an Angel's game was pretty fucking dumb. I mean, who tries to get a crowd pumped up at a fucking memorial concert by screaming and ranting on stage?

[Aaron]

Dude,

It is Steve Perry which IS the definition of good in my book. He was a little rough but the vocal capability that made Journey is still there. It's different, but still there. The set reminded me of some of the old MTV Unplugged shows. I hated that show because unplugged is gay but, in this case, it was appropriate for Bill's memorial. The reason I mentioned Arnel (indirectly) was to counter your point about Perry being a full step down. It was a full step down and I think that's ok for the original singer to do. This was one of your issues with the performance being "bad". If that's bad, then why are you ok with a replacement singer running a half step down? My point is I agree with you 100%, detuning sucks! Why is it ok for Arnel to detune but not for the guy that wrote and made the song famous to do so?

I'll put up with Perry being detuned, even a full step. Putting up with detuning for a replacement, no fucking way.

L8r bro,

Aaron

P.S. How was MRF2?

[Art Vandelay]

Here is the complete set list from that day. If you look at the bands listed (headlined by the Dead), it's pretty obvious that this wasn't a Journey crowd...hence the encouragement by SP for everyone to 'please sing along'. I doubt they even knew who was on stage at that point.

Also, there were some upbeat songs played that day, and Robin Williams was there....not the most laid back personality for a memorial!

Ok great, you got me there. The points of importance were made earlier but no one has offered to counter them. The points are:

1. Perry's voice took Journey to the top
2. Perry, even a full step down, still sounds like Perry and has the "stuff"
3. Any replacement singer that can't sing in the original key needs sacked

Let's hear responses based on the key points.

Who says he doesn't??

I think the point is that some not all of us would take Perry with or without him being able to be on par to what he was....a step down would be fine. We would be there to witness the reuniting of the band we call Journey.

As for the current state of the band....

1. AP out doing covers of every other 80's band excluding the one he is the lead singer of does not do much for me...it cheapens the band IMO. He should at the least be able to sing the songs from Revelation...maybe it would make them more
popular with the current fans who are following the band now.

2. The having a replacement that has to tour a 1/2 step down already....says volumes about the singer who toured relentlessly and then ended up "toast"

3. The resurgence of DSB and other songs that are Classic Journey songs has put Steve Perry back (like it or not) to the place of front man....it's his voice with the "Classic Journey" line up that is being played everywhere.


The whole thing is kind of perplexing...what other band has this happened to??

I am sure I will get the normal crap.....so fire away.

That's a solid post through and through until the very end. No other band has been so high and then sunk so low as Journey.

You got it....totally agree.

[Tomulator]

BTW, I've never really heard an explanation for this...

Q: Why didn't Journey perform with a full band that day instead of an "unplugged" trio of Schon, Caine, and SMFP? Other full bands apparently played...why not Journey?

Perry ain't coming back guys and gals...

[FamilyMan]

I'm really surprised this gets mixed reviews. Perry sounds raw here, but pitch-perfect to me. And the three of them look like they could have played their last Journey gig the day before. The stage exit without a arm-n -rm bow is telling, I guess.
