Karona, there were no 2 singers before steve, the band was a fusion band that had not lead singer and they were going no where, there manager said unless they sell a record they are gone off the label and told them they will sing with Steve in the front., period!!! There is no more journey as far as Im concerned
Steve Perry will always be the signature voice, the vocal identity of Journey that all others wants to imitate, so all others may go ahead & call themselves Best replacements, Best imitator, Best generic Steve's, Best impersonators ..oh heck some may even go down in history as a the Best "Steve Perry sound-alike" singer found from the Zoo in YouTube, but Steve Perry will always go down in history as the Best and Greatest lead singer that Journey ever had and will remain that way 4ever & ever.
ROTFLMAO!! i couldnt have said it any better! Steve Perry will always forever be in my heart and soul. todays poor rendition of journey is pathetic. neal schon needs to really take a look at what he has degraded. of what could of been the biggest rock act of all time, but yet he let it slip through his fingers and now look at what he has? all wanna bees steve perry imatators.......so yeah i agree indeed.
I was so happy to stumble across this video. It's one that I don't have of Steve. Thanks so much for the upload. I agree, there is no Journey without Perry. I only got to see them in concert once. It was wonderful!!
Yeah, Tribute bands can still make money. And not one charted single in a platinum album. And 9/10's of the postings are only the songs that Steve sang that they are now covering. And when they sing on CBS on 9/3-they only sing the old stuff that Steve wrote and sung. Why? Because it is the old stuff that is selling the shows out of nostalgia for Steve. The real test, the only test, is whether they can actually make a best selling album with ALL new material-and will anyone download the singles
Steve Perry's vocals are flawless in this performance... in 44 - 103 who is signing with him? Sounds funny... Kinda pitchy... Steve sounds great... Beautiful voice... Even live...
a pro that no matter how shitty the sound sounds like a monster... doesn't over sing a thing... flawless performance .. shitty mix....but the vocal with go down forever...."the fighting is worth the love they save" on point!!!
Youtube, thanks to all of us, has really done a great job finding all of the videos I've watched today! There are so many more than when my puter got sick 2 months ago. GOOD JOB YOUTUBE!!!
Soundcheck? Checking one, two...oh well. Who cares? It's a feast for the eyes. Also, this is a great video that showcases Neal Schon's talents and his flying fingers. What a guitarist!!
dang i just freakin love steve perry. gosh, i say that every time i post a comment on a journey/sp video, but i just CAN'T HELP IT! He's just so amazing.. and just as good and sometimes better live. if only... *sigh.* I LOVE YOU STEVEN RAY PERRY!!!!!! love, peace, and PERRY forever ~ Jade <3
They were always just as good "LIVE" as in any studio cut... unlike alot of other bands.Thanx so much for the close ups of Steve Perry. Can never get enough of him!

There is no Journey without Steve Perry -- he left and so did most of the fans for the version of Journey without him.

$35,000,000 + in concert grosses for 2008 indicates that there IS a Journey WITHOUT Steve Perry.
