Arrival - the key to its success

[Loneman1]

I forgot all about his Sy Klopps thing! Dude had a decent voice for sure......sounds like he taught Perry everything he knows.

I was impressed by the soulfulness of his cover of Marvin Gaye's "Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)."
Sounded a little like Aaron Neville. I think Perry would give a nod of approval. Very credible.

Absolutely! As youkeepmewaiting mentioned, he definitely throws in the some pretty damn good Perryisms! I've tracked down the majority of Journey related albums over the past couple of decades but never actively sought out Herbie's Sy Klopps stuff. I might need to fix that!

I bought the first one when it first came out back in the early 90's. I always thought it was very good and it surprised me back then. I bought the second one when I found out about it shortly after it was released. I like it, but not quite as much as the first. I never did buy the third one.

at 7:53 and 8:01 he's doing a few Perry mannerisms

I hear it, but all those "Perry mannerisms" were cribbed from soul greats like Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye. The song is a Marvin Gaye cover.

Arrival is one of my favorite albums and I still listen to it a lot

Same. It's criminal that they won't even do 1-2 songs with Augeri on an East Coast tour stop.
They seemingly want nothing to do with anything from 98 - 2007.
Have him come out and do "Higher Place" or something. Would be nice to see.

It's always possible that they did invite past members to join them on stage, but that the past members declined. But it's highly probable that they haven't invited past members. They definitely should be inviting Rolie, Valory, Smith, Dunbar, Jackson, Baird, Augeri, Soto, Fleischman and maybe even Prairie Prince to join them on stage. Not necessarily all on the same night. And in some cases maybe only for one or two songs. Although, they should do a two or 3 set show in San Francisco on the final night of the tour, and play long sets, with as many of the former members as they can get. If they felt the need to have one more singer so that they don't need to have certain guys sing too many songs, they could ask Kevin Chalfant to sit in on a couple of songs, if he was interested. I know that some of that may sound somewhat unrealistic. But they should try to do it if possible.

By the way, Obviously Perry should be invited too. But they have stated many times that he is invited already.

I'll be there - with impossibly high hopes, but a man can dream
