@5050anita the person singing is Steve Augeri, who replaced Steve Perry in 1998. In 2006, he was then replaced by Jeff Scott Soto. In my opinion, none of this singers even came close to Steve Perry.
so this is not the original guy, sounds like the real one. I remember watching on either Jay Leno or Conan Obrian there was Queen singing and belive me that was not Fredy Mercury yet it was awsome to hear this guys sounding so alike Fredy Mercury.
@NoSteveNoJourney hop in a time machine, bitch, and join the rest of us in the present day...Perry is NEVER coming back. Arnel is the voice now, so suck on that, ho.
the name of the singer is Steve Augery....after Steve Perry quit...he took his spot...several years later his voice began to break so he left thats when they got Arnel Pineda (Philipino dude)

Yes ironkoala, the song was inspired, written about AND written in LA then finally changed to the bay later on. In fact, some even say "the bay" actually is still referring to the Santa Monica Bay.
rokertoy... think before you speak/type. Where in the lyrics does it mention ANYTHING about SF? Which part of it makes it exclusive to the SF bay and not any other bay?? Idiot.
Steve Perry explained in an interview with Joe Benson of Arrow 93.1 FM: "I had the song written in Los Angeles almost completely except for the bridge and it was written about Los Angeles. It was 'when the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on LA.' I just had it sitting back in the corner. Then life changed my plans once again, and I was now facing joining Journey. 'The bay' fit so nice, 'When the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on the bay.'
im from Australia but even though the words of this song reverb around San Francisco it definitely has a global feel to it! I wouldn't describe myself as a Journey fan, but this song has got that certain something
the is a beautiful song... i get very tery eyed when I hear this / this song means something very special to everyone I know from the Bay Area including me / I have been living in NYC for 9 years & am from SF / the song is a love letter to San Francisco
You can always tell the old Journey fans apart from the newer, younger fans ... just look at the title of this video. Loyalists to Steve Perry and the old Journey know that the name of the song is just LIGHTS -- period; nothing else.
Well i am so called younger fan from Journey and its a great band. They Make the best music in the word. Personly i dont see much differents. The big differents is the way the preform on stage maybe. And other wise You had a better title for this song then: Lights or When the lights go down?
Yes a Great Song ! My Favorite Journey Song! Saw Documentary of them on PBS .. Lead Singer Steve Perry said he Never felt like Part of the Group ... Peter Cetera said the same about being with Chicago

Steve Perry was the voice in Journey - and he is still the BEST!
Knifemix 2 years ago 2
Steve Perry was an original; he either wrote/co-wrote many of Journeys great hits. This "singer" has no dignity; hes paid 2 impersonate Perry.
A band is sposed 2 move on & change or do their own thing after a singer dies or is replaced... ala Queen & Paul Rodgers, GnR, Van Halen!
The integrity of a band suffers when it does what Journey did; which is go & find Perry clones! Of course, what do they care, they're making $.
As for Steve Perry, "Imitation is the best form of flattery."
