[ddrsnyder]

WOW, my favorite Journey song. You did it justice!  So talented!

[ed3472]

Hey Dave,

Once again, a masterpiece. As well as Rolie or Cain have done. I hope you have a great July 4th!!!

[gupper83]

Dave, Bravo!! Beautiful!! I Love this Key work, so eerie, in a good way, but so wonderful, just never heard this song without the Grand Vocals of Steve Perry. You Definately are Great at Keys!! All the Best!!

[irisheyes68]

Hi David. This is my all time favourite Steve ? Journey song! You did an absolutely fantastic job....if only you had Steve there singing along! Bravo my friend! Keep up the brilliant work :o) xXx

[OldRabit]

You really brings your music to life. Thank you for sharing, David.

[kashai138]

very nice`

[fredfan30000]

wow that is so amazing i could never do that how long did you have to practice to get it right ? please send a message to me and tell me

[am2boni]

I'd love this song since the early 80's. The piano playing and lyrics are so movin. It does portray my life, when I was a child.  Thanks! Adam

[vanderbilly]

Got here from frogponds channel. Nice work but where are the Neals parts? Maybe I can help?

[3811paulamroberts]

P.S. If you are not on MySpace.. I think you should get up on there as well and promote the heck out of this.

Cheers!

[3811paulamroberts]

This is beautiful David !!

This is truly one of my all time fav Journey songs and I think Cain would be quite impressed with your talent !

I hear Perry is working on a new album. You should find a way to get your work to him.

All my best to you David !

[curmikey]

hey Dave, missed your super uplifting musicals so here I am into your channels again and oh thanks for the wonderful music. always complete my day.more power

[Suuperman5461]

Hi David,

I'm not anyone to worry about, but I can tell you one thing. You certainly did it and the other's I've seen, to my satisfaction. I appreciate you and I really was joking about the sheet-music in front of you. I heard about 11 seconds of it and knew your interpretations don't come from there.

I thank you for the fantastic music.

Clark

[Suuperman5461]

David, you are really great. Thanks for introducing yourself to me. I can read music, but choose not to and I think it would be kinda cool to see you do it without. I can tell, you don't need it. Man, you are good. Forgive me if I am forward. Love the chorus too.

Talk to you soon

[dgcmusi]

Thanks for the support. Please understand these pieces are my own transcriptions , meaning they are not store bought and put in front of me. I notated these from the cd.

They are hard enough to play all 14 pages with the music in front of me . It would be much more work to memorize all of this and play it to my satisfaction.

I do these and then never play them again.

David Castagna

[InnocentMalin]

Brilliant ! :-) I enjoyed it.

Cheers,

Anindya.

[eaglephin]

Great rendition. Deen Castronovo sings it great on the DVD that comes with the new album. Deen has a great voice, as good as Perry's. But I guess he's more interested in playing drums than singing and shredding his vocal chords.

[key2kingdom]

Terrific arrangement of this haunting tune. According to the label on the vinyl, Neal's father Matt Schon was involved in the writing of this.

[scottmc127]

one of journeys all time best. you played it perfect !!! i can just hear steve perry singing and neil schon tearing up some riffs. awesome set up you got there

[2009NewBeginning]

I am amazed by your talent!! Thank you for sharing and enriching my life. virginia

[jaysononthejays]

Hey! Dave again man!! awesome vid hahaha I can't believe you do that by yourself!!!!

[sweetheart6969]

Beautiful as always David !

[NEWoceanflower2008]

Brilliant! Beautiful piece and great performance David!

Thanks for sharing with us your talent!

Your friend,

Andreea

[whh01]

this demonstrates what a beautiful and well crafted song this truly is... thanks so much for posting. Great job.

[kiohitita]

well done my friend

[amirhamra]

beautiful , i feel i know this piece , like maybe between kansas and marillion, but more kansas...

[ohdamitsjovi]

Haha dude thank you so much for letting me know u made this video, you are very talented indeed and i love journey and i love this song :] thanks again keep doingwhat your doing

[DariaVelZiutka]

Really well done my friend. I loved it.

[hello924]

that is soo cool.

[arabel06]

i love this song. and you played it really well.thank u very much...

[blackratsnakes]

Excellent job. Interesting how you have all the sheet music laid out so you don't have to get caught turning pages.

[loveofmusic59]

Beautifully played!

[chickrocker113]

i love that song!

[AntiJourney]

Great job! Both Steve's did a good job on this tune

[yasamanjoooooj]

hey dude

it is awesome the only thing I concerned is that it gonna be better if u just play it by Piano.and the notes on the 2:35 sounds independent I think is going to be better if you choose higher note to jump. In total I relly enjoy it!! good job

[trap0001]

Excellent playing. This song reminds me of Karu by Patrick Moraz (which actually came later so I guess he pinched it from Journey).

[MOCCALDI1966]

Simply Amazing!!

[cather333]

Dear Dave, I know I am late on this one,but my PC brooke on friday,and I was using a laptop,then the sound was not good an off to listening you as well.

I am so grateful to you Dave, for all your videos.Each one is a pure marval.

So proud of beeing your friend in 2008

Happy NEW-YEARS

Catherine ♥♥♥

[Schon2112]

Very Awesome! LOVE to hear Journey songs, You are GREAT!

[cc6809]

Wow... this takes me back to the '81 when I bought Escape. This song was one of the hidden gems in the album - great to hear it so beautifully arranged!

[claireluvzjobros]

Great! I like this song!

[jannierocks]

WOW. I really love this one!! I agree with an earlier reply: you are too good for YouTube, how I would love an album from you! The Journey stuff as well as Venice, the Christmas music, See You Again, etc. I've added you to my favorites but I want you on a CD!!!

[minniemousie]

Well, sounds like your gang is cooking up some good stuff there. Wish I could join in with my alto. Meantime, this is a delight to hear David! Don't you think it sounds a lot like bells ringing?

As always you give rich moods and shadings!

Lovely! I'm off to sleep with this lovely music singing my lullaby!

[svoit41]

Not bad, not bad at all! I enjoy singing to this song! I'm a second tenor so next to Perry I sound like a bass, lol (not quite that low...) and I like singing to this tune so that I don't ruin the majestic sound of Steve Perry's voice, lol!

[AntiJourney]

You are too good for youtube!Now get a hold on EGO-MAN Schon and get a band 2gether

[CurvyCorrine]

I totally agree!!! ;) Can I sing back-up? :)

[dgcmusi]

Yes! you sure can with that voice. Better yet you can sing lead. You sounded great today as usual Corrine.

Dave.

[AntiJourney]

Can we sing together?We can do feelin that way!

[beakys]

AntiJourney Yep..he's great...I've heard him before. Thanks for sending this!!

[rickyon]

Hey Dave, Exceptional as usual!!! Is that the new 6 foot rack I see in the background?!When are we going to see you straddle both of those boards you have there?

[dgcmusi]

Yes, those are some new friends I have. I was going to spin around and play a 12 string on the Kurzweil for the guitar ending on this piece but decided it would look a little hot dog. lol. Thanks Carlo for your never ending support. Your my Kansas brother. Happy New Year!!

Dave.

[kanushrox]

David...you listen and absorb, with pencil in hand you transcribe. You look, see, and perform. Like water flowing in a stream you continue to reach all that can flourish from its benefits and your passion for music.

I can hear your passion for the music in the way you play each piece with attention to detail. The way you honor the basic structure of the song while improvising with your personal style is amazing!

Have a Merry Christmas

[willyskill]

Man this is just a beautiful piece.I could tell where u were throughout the entire video.

[wdharveyoicu]

BEAUTIFUL!!! Where have I heard your name, though, it sounds so familiar! Is that a weighted keyboard you are playing on? It's absolutely beautiful! Again, I would like a copy of this sheet music! If you can, in any way, send me a copy, please let me know!

[megansspark]

I think... that as you sleep that you with 'closed eyes' all your songs perfect plays! With compliments and love, Marilyn
