Steve Perry Messes Up

[Rockindeano]

Haha, happens to the best of them.

See if you can catch it. Pretty glaring.

The band sure recovered quickly, unless this intentional, which I don't think was. Wow, I finally caught a Perry mistake.

[Marabelle]

Are things that obvious? Do we look pitiful over here? It's mighty quiet. LOL! It's summer!
The band's quiet and not making any news at all. What can you expect?

We'll all be back after the summer break. Well at least I will. All Neal has to do is say something and they'll come running.

[Marabelle]

Neal? LOL! Neal?

[Rockindeano]

Seriously, no one can pick up the mistake? And you call yourselves fans?

[Marabelle]

Well I'm not a hard core fan but it's pretty obvious he got ahead of himself. Can't go back and change things or stop the song; he had to keep on singing and sing himself out of the mistake.

[Art Vandelay]

He was really excited about working hard to get his thrill In their defense, Tom Snyder's staff was particularly strict with their performance timing, so nerves could have kicked in.

He's flubbed lyrics like that a couple of times....I think he made a few on the Tokyo Escape show too...obviously still getting used to the new lyrics. Too funny.

[jaxmanjoe]

Good musicians can cover from mistakes big and small in songs.

During my wedding song the 'announcer' broke in to my wedding to song, as he was supposed to do during the solo in the middle of the song, except he did it a verse too early and cut off the lead singer when he was supposed to start the 2nd verse. The band continued the rhythm playing until the guy finished his asking people to join us on the dance floor and picked up as if it were completely planned. Awesome recovery and I don't think anyone even noticed.

Hehehe... I knew without even clicking which performance that was going to be.

I think it's fun to see stuff like that.... kind of like the gag reels and outtakes from TV and film shoots... no one's perfect, shit happens.... we all do it. Half the tiem I enjoy the outtakes more than the movie or the show!!

Art mentioned the Tokyo '81 boot... that's a pretty bad one, flub-wise. LOL. All kinds of lyrical mayhem in that show.

[Art Vandelay]

It's funny how you get used to hearing a lyric, and how it bitch slaps you when you hear the lyric messed up. DSB was very new at the time of this performance, so chances are the goof up slipped under most people's radar. Today the song is everywhere, so it's much easier to say WTF!!!

I remember hearing an early Elton John concert, he flipped the lyrics in Tiny Dancer to "pirate smile, pretty eyes." It took me a second to go 'wait, did I just hear that?'

Here's the follow up interview. Listen at 5:40. Tom says "Thank you for being here and you changed your program on short notice because of the events of the day and the music that was a little more suitable and I appreciate that...." Might have been intentional after all, unless they were gonna play a different song altogether. My question is, what were the events of that day??? Reagan being shot, perhaps?

It was intentional. They were going to play "Dead Or Alive." At the last minute, they dropped DOA and played DSB because Anwar Sadat had been assassinated and they didn't feel DOA was appropriate. They did a shorter version of DSB to fit in the limited time slot.

P.S. I always thought Tom Snyder was a prick.

Thanks for clarifying! DSB does seem shortened and rushed in this segment.

I guess it was not a mistake? Thanks Lora!

I still can watch this and love DSB.....and with the amount of times (and versions) these days...there is no
contest....that is a SMFP and Neal song....they look like they were having fun...it makes me sad that it's over for
the ones who made Journey....and the songs that they are linked to for life.


No need 78 for your rebuttal....I know what you think!

I bet he wishes he had that voice back

Thanks for the clarification Lora, always nice to see you stop in!

Thanks Lora for the clarification. Glad I'm not the only one that didn't like Tom Snyder.

[Aaron]

He mixed up the first and second chorus. No biggie, when you wrote it, you can sing it anyway you want.

That was a sad day for the dream of world peace.

Awesome video, though; what beautiful young men ...

He sure was a prick on that video. Steve started to answer a question that was asked to all of them generally and the guy cut him off stating, "Why are you answering, he's a founding member?" Totally disrespectful in my opinion that Snyder snapped at him like that. Steve handled it beautifully, laughing and looking back behind him like Neil walked in.
I noticed Steve didn't say another word after that though.

Your damn right he can........Snyder was an ass!!

[texafana]

100% a mistake.

Video @ 2:05. Ross's face is like oh shit. He turns to Neal to acknolwage the gaff and prepare for a recovery.
Video @ 2:14 Perry turns to the band to roll them into the chorus.
Video @ 2:16 Neal smiles and thinks, yep Steve fucked up, time to recover.

Nah. Besides, finding a video clip of Ross making an 'oh shit' face is like shooting fish in a barrel.
