Man, Steve Augeri is a trouper for singing through that song with a bad throat, but I feel really bad for him for having to do so. Neal Schon pushed him way too hard by making him sing night after night even after they found out he was having throat problems (which was about three years before this).

Steve's a great guy and great singer. Unfortunately, Journey's touring schedule nearly did him in permanently. The way he points at Deen to cover the vocal, is actually pretty cool. Most singers would've had him do it and pretend it was him. Class act Augeri. Just too bad that he had such a hard time with the gig. I must say, that Arnel is a great replacement for Augeri and Perry. That guy's a great singer.

@arockmom My guess is Steve thought the same as you as he was singing this.He blew his vocal cords but!!! as a pro he went on.

@BeyondWithinOnline - Steve Augeri had A LOT of issues singing with Journey. 1. He had the vocal chops to sing the songs, but not the chops to sing them night after night. he had no stamina. 2. He had a lot of self esteem issues regarding being the first to replace Steve Perry. So much angst that he actually lip synced on two songs every show "Separate Ways" and "Don't Stop Believing". Journey used Steve Perry's vocals from the original demos of the songs so it would sound the same but different

What ever happened to him

you can here the scratchiness in his voice
Steve Augeri had a singing "teacher" and did all the things he had to do to keep his pipes as fresh as possible. Let's face it, Steve Perry's vocals are virtually impossible to duplicate over the long haul. I can guarantee you that Steve Perry himself could not duplicate his own songs from the 70s and 80s. Journey's songs are works of art, both musically and lyrically. Why that band is not in the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame is beyond comprehension. Augeri brought Journey back from the dead.

Cool how the drummer covered for him (2:55) then he probably lips "thank you" (3:05) or something as the drummers nods as to say "you're welcome!" That's great onstage chemistry.
