I agree Don. It was basically a Steve Perry album with different musicians. The multi layered vox were so apparent, that they had no option but to go to pre recorded BG vox when in concert. However, other than Perry himself, the rest of the band can't sing except Randy. Neal and Frig can't sing for shit, and Baird was off limits there too. They had no choice. That's why the only played 4 tracks off ROR, and changed up GHCI (for the better actually) vocally. They couldn't possibly replicate the album sound. ROR the song sounded awful live, as did Suzanne(til Deen showed up), and remember BGTY? LOL, Perry sang lead AND backing on that fuckin song!
