Journey - "She Makes Me Feel Alright" Soundstage 1978

[MrSilkySweat]

They should've re-released the first three albums with Steve's harmonies. That would sound totally killer!

[TCall2004]

I saw a recent photo of Gregg. He's aged very well.

[gluchnurse]

Wow, how have I missed this before! Great post! And down and dirty, raunchy, totally entertaining performances. Love it!

[gupper83]

Perry you can Hit my cowbell, Anytime!

[gupper83]

@TwoHeartsBornToRun yes you are right! Steve Perry is just the darn sexiest man, sorry Gregg Rollie, but you are best as a Keyboardist:) it's Always been about Steve Perry.

[TwoHeartsBornToRun]

The way Steve runs his hand through his hair at the beginning....He steals the whole show right then and there. ♥♥♥

[gupper83]

Perry all the way. Perryon 2011 ~ and Beyond

[RoarkVegeta2]

Interesting how Steve says "This is from the era...of good Journey." :p

[Vanrocco66]

I like it but I could have used more cowbell! In fact, I got a fever and the only perscription is more cowbell!

[tinkerbelle2630]

@koalajones88 Perry had a definitive style that appealed to women in general. That said, really it depends on who you asking. Rollie formed the original Journey post Santana, his style is more rock blues. Perry pandered to the radio pop songs, brought in by the record company. Rollie continued I suppose for the paycheck, never thought he embraced this genre. At any rate Good Memories.

[tinkerbelle2630]

Gregg what were you thinking.....hmmmmmmmmm hands on hips. You best stay behind the piano/organ. Frontman no, sexy yeah. Still love ya.

Journey was best when you and Neal actually you guys were Journey,

Perry got a big old ego to go with them britches. wink

Glad you continue to write and tour...Stay true

[hierogram]

70s sounds ! i love ...

[MsRoleary]

more cowbell!!!!!

[jaketauber2010]

after the NEXT album,there was sooo much anticipation for the #4....then ..BAM what the fuck happened to the music that was light years ahead of it's time...STILL...thank you original 4

[SkullydogXXX]

Actually, ara572, Smith was a well established Jazz session player who was from what I heard, classically trained. Aynsley Dunbar was and is one of the all-time great session players as well. It's irrelevant which one someone thinks is better. They both made their contribution. If you check a lot of Jazz liner notes, you will find Smith there, and for a lot of big name, cross-genre artists.

[missbitch67]

Can anyone tell me if that cowbell actually made any difference to thi song? Cos i'll be buggered if i can hear it!

[tinkerbelle2630]

@missbitch67 nope it makes no difference. The reason Perry feigned his talent in the area of playing any instrument. He actually had zero training formal/informal.

He wanted to draw attention to his desire to say look Im playing a cowbell....its funny tho because he should stick to vocals, and Gregg needs to sit down...while I don't mind watching him shake his stuff in those white pants :)

[HMACDONALD69]

@tinkerbelle2630 Yeah our boy Greg filled out those pants WELL.He would have given a horse a run for his money. LOL !! But I agree, Greg's a cute guy, very talented but so not front man material.

[tinkerbelle2630]

@HMACDONALD69 ROTFLMAO.....you know this look for Gregg was par back in the day! Makes you wonder tho, seeing many photos he sometimes looked as if the horse had taken on a metamorphosis,.Not sure how hygienic[commando] that was either. Sigh....sure I would have dated this guy....:) Check out the clips from Chicago Soldier Field in 1978 you will see what I mean, Gregg climbs the stairs to perform. Another comment was about a endowment.

[Bodebodango]

@tinkerbelle2630 Steve was actually an accomplished drummer!

[742512345689]

gregg looks so cool haha whata boss :D

[ThePenispump1]

gregg rolie is a chubby wielding choad lol

[ara572]

Are you kidding me.... Steve Smith is good in his own way, but put his accomplishments up against Aynsley's and see who has played with more bands, had more hits, launched more careers of singers and guitar players and Steve looks like he just started. Aynsley is one of the most under rated drummers of our era.

[journeyvail]

Nobody will compare with band live if you seen them back then there wasnt any better.

[RandRdriver]

Opppsss typo... not chip... CLIP I wish we could edit!

[RandRdriver]

I love this chip. Gregg out front singing! I really enjoyed that!

[boonesusan]

Personaly I think that the harmonizing was great. and my first thought was WOW Steve Perry can sing with anybody and sont only can he sound great but he can make the other person sound great as well.

[ImafiaD0Tnet]

understood waywardsmile.. but you see where i'm coming from.. sorry if i came off hard edged..

[waywardsmile]

antiverdun, Sure, SP was irrelevant to EVERYTHING that was put out before him...such as this song, especially since the lead singer of THIS song is STILL in the band at THIS Soundstage performance. Seriously, what could he do? It would be like taking the "Escape" line-up, have them play "Don't Stop Believin'", and throw G.Rolie in there. What in the world could he add to that? An accompanying piano piece? What a waste for such a talent!

[antiverdun]

waywardsmile, i take your point. mine was that the pre -perry journey was first and last an awesome hard rock band, one of the best ever, and the perry journey was a pop band, ok if you dig that kind of stuff. me, i just got "look into the future", in my mind one of the greatest rock albums of all time, and to see perry add his distracting pop harmonies and stand off in the corner hitting his cowbell only makes me shake my head and wonder what heights they might have reached

[ImafiaD0Tnet]

LMFAO!! that guy knew his fate was close.. lol.. he tried to outdo Steve, but lost that battle.. I liked him backing up Steve, but nothing more..

[malcolmkettering]

this comment about Greg "losing" to Steve is idiotic. Journey co-founders Greg & Neil HIRED Steve Perry, after hiring and firing another lead singer, Robert Fleischman. Clearly any real fan knows he was not competing with Perry for the lead vocals job.

[waywardsmile]

lmafia, I'm definitely one of the biggest SP fans out there, but I assure you Gregg wasn't trying to "outdo" Steve. It's just that THIS song was a pre-Perry song, co-written by Gregg, so HE is actually the singer of it. Not to mention, he, along with Neal and Herbie (their manager), were the ones who formed Journey...5 yrs. prior to Steve's entering the band. I DO think you'd agree that Gregg's vocals stamped one of the most recognizable Santana songs, "Black Magic Woman".

[742512345689]

haha greg rollie is sick front man

[antiverdun]

this clip shows just how irrelevant perry is to the heavy style they had

[whatlifeisabout22]

This music is absolutely unbellievable. Journey should have grown some balls and went back to playing like this after Perry left. Now they're nothing but a circus side show act, too bad.

[crickettttt]

TRUTH BE TOLD THEY DID PLAY ALOT OF THEIR TRACKS WITH THE NEW FRONT MAN HOWEVER IT WAS REALLY PISSING OFF THE hard core steve perry fans, myself included.. sometimes things should be left alone and its right what you said circus side show. i am more than sure folks will disagree.. but i am speaking not as a fan .... i am speaking of career suicide...... imagine replacing glenn frey/henley nobody can sing like they do.... i have given up hope for a reunion... c

[lestatgothica]

Nobody can be compare with Steve Perry...Mr. Pineda you sucks!!! Booo!

[ThePerryfan]

So great!So damn good:) I love Journey 78-80:es ;)

[momo1mark]

eddie van who?? Neal shreads...

[perrynewgirl1]

LOVE Classsic Journey!!!

[moangel1958]

The way he rubs his fingers through his hair, OMG! *THUD*

[mistifers]

That's a fun one!

[stickks]

Aynsley Dunbar rocks with Journey! The worlds greatest drummer by far!

[st33lersfan2496]

he's a great drummer, but if u read journey's bio, you'll see that he was a piece of shit!!!

i was shocked when i heard it too.

[Kerjo123]

Actually, Steve Smith is a lot better!

[stickks]

your opinion.

[METALkid614]

more like a proven fact stickks!

[stickks]

oh and how can one prove that? it is personal opinion, dude. Never said Steve Smith wasnt good, I just personally like Aynsley alot better. I think he had and has way more style

[METALkid614]

It just sounded as if you were saying Aynsley was better

[stickks]

in my opinion, he was and is. I think he is way more versatile

[RaisedOnRadio92]

It's awesome seeing Gregg up on the lead mic!

[Kerjo123]

raisedonradio: It was pretty cool, enjoyed it and Rollie and Perr sound great together also.

[mukilteo44]

This is awesome. Just love seeing these old clips. They sound great.

[skittlessiera]

OMG is Steve doing Cow Bell!!

[askmeicare]

Steve also does Cowbell & Piano on Stone In Love Live from 1981.

[musicfanlou]

even as a backup singer, Steve steals the stage, such a voice..... So young!!! Wish I could hear that voice live!!!!

[Mystifier122]

Good song, it was originally on the Look Into The Future album. It's a trip to see Gregg Rolie leave his keyboards.

[Dixie1947]

Look at Steve Perry he was only 29YO then. He was so sexy and gorgeous, and he was on his way to stardom. AMO TE STEVE!!!!!

[classicrocker452]

I love ya, but just so you know it's Te Amo.

:D

[Dixie1947]

I love ya too, but that's the Spanish version. Amo TE is the Portugese version. I asked my friend who is Spanish and that's what he told me.

[meggiblu]

I love you in Portugues can be said in two ways;

"Eu te amo"...in this form te(you) is used when it precedes the verb or one can say "Eu amo você" (vo-say) when 'you'(você) follows the verb.

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

I haven't heard this 1 by Journey yet. :)

[beakys]

Loved it!!!!!

[squyres]

Thanks, Mariet !!!! Gregg looks great --looks alot better even today !!! Awesome video !!! Peace/Love

[Kerjo123]

squyres: Htill looks great...

[VeriSheri]

MORE COWBELL....LOL

Hey, isn't it great to see sexy Gregg Rollie out front singing?

[newstart50]

This is amazing! I have never seen this before. The best food comes from you mariet2.

:)

[mdoelle]

Awesome Thank you. It does look and sound a lil better. I love it either way. :D
