I saw journey many times in st.louis indoor and out door they were special then and still specail today I prefer the vocal talents of steve perry he is a frontman who can single handly carry a rock band. Journey is a Rock band,Mr. perry bringsa specail heart and soul to his performance.Jouney will never be same without him!!! Thank You
Their progress/change as a band (while still maintaining a clear identity) each year from 77 through 83 is so interesting. Amazing musicians. Steve Perry... what can you say... nothing short of amazing on so many levels.
Man,those JFK shows were ALL GREAT.I saw just about every single 1 of them from Yes/Peter Frampton to Live Aid to Pink Floyd to the last concert there in 1989,The Grateful Dead.If I remember correctly..wasn't John Cougar,Bryan Adams and Sammy Hagar on this bill with Journey?Journey was just sooo good that day.
I still got the vid from this documentary and could copy it on a DVD if interested.
What a huge band this used to be, as far as crowds are concerned. Of course it is still a great band. Massive history but still current today. Saw them last week at Graspop Festival in Belgium. First time ever in Belgium I think.
I was there too. JFK, 90,000 fans. Bryan Adams, The Tubes, Sammy Hagar, John Cougar (his name then) and then Journey. Great fireworks at the end of the show too. I was 13 years old and it was the greatest day ever for a 13 year old.
This documentary would've been far better if it hadn't been produced by NFL Films. Too much time was spent focusing upon nonsense such as Steve Perry growing (and then shaving off) his mustache... maybe exciting for a 12-yr-old fan but not for the average adult viewer. Also, the narrator who did commentaries for NFL Film's football-related documentaries has an annoying voice. On the plus side, the documentary does preserve classic Journey as they were back in the day.
STEVE SMITH makes all the difference here too! As great as DEAN is, SS blows doors, has more groove and soul then Dean ever will. Dean is a great metal drummer. 'nuff said
This video makes me feel like i am onstage with Steve and Neal . I get the feeling of the excitement of being there during the performance. Very cool. i love this
Steve Perry fans unite!! Lets let him know how much hes loved and missed. Go to petitiononlinecom and sign the Steve Perry Sing Again petition (enter /srperry1/petition.html in the address line). Let Steve know how many people are eager to hear his sweet voice again!!!!
If the excitement and energy of this performance doesn't get your heart racing and your blood pumping--then you must be dead. Steve Perry just explodes onstage!!
