Well said ZYVZX... GOD forbid someone today have real talent and vocals that sounded this good live. Even with all that running around the stage Steve Perry sounds excellent and yes flawless... Journey~Steve Perry on...
never thought they would open up with this! its usually steve smiths solo- its pretty sick!! yeah perry is one of the few singers who can run around the stage and still have air to sing bad ass!!
i saw journey in 1981 great show. the joe perry project opened up for journey. i was 17, sorry kids of today, you missed it all.!! and it ain't commin' back.!
There music became garbage after Frontiers, their best Separate Ways Chain Reaction Send Her My Love Faithfully Only the Young Ask the Lonely Only Solutions Liberty--the one song that shows off Perry's voice more than any other they ever did Raised on Radio and Trial by Fire were bad. What they've issued since is laughable. Cain said there would be no more studio albums recently. Thank the Lord.
"Eclipse" sold just over 100,000 units world wide. A disaster. An embarrassment They announced they would do no more studio albums. They aren't even gonna try?????????? Just live off old, stale stuff? They have the talent to write music, but it seems they've lost focus. Just think what could have been had they acted like adults and stayed together. Gone forever now.
LegettHall ikr. Schon wanted to experiment with new stuff than their usually old formula and that was Eclipse. Mostly guitar solos. Also one song was ruined at the ending with a guitar solo. He's got to stop putting solos where it doesnt need it
I read that for Eclipse Schoen wanted "harder"--it failed. I don't like the solos but I don't think that's the real problem. Schoen admitted Eclipse was meant to be "harder" than what they had done--why fix what was once not broken? Eclipse is horrible--Journey groupie's, just admit it. [I am a fan and I admit it, it's true.] Actually, I think Schoen IS a big part of the problem in a different way--he isn't focusing on Journey, he's focusing on his (horrible) solo albums.--no one can focus on two separate projects. Maybe for Schoen it's an ego thing or since he owns Journey he doesn't care. Cain was not thrilled when he said their would be no more studio albums. I don't blame him--that basically says, "We are giving up, we can't do it." I don't believe that. They can if they work hard at it. That band needs to get into a studio, get on the same page, and write another good album. Go back to Infinity, go back to that through Frontiers--that worked miracles. Don't listen to the whining critics who moan about "the same old style." Worry about the fans who just happen to like that "same old style." AC/DC had lean years in 82, 83. Yet they didn't change their style and didn't quit. Their bounce back starting with The Razor's Edge tells me it's about hard work and commitment more than anything. AC/DC stayed with what had worked and it paid off in the millions. Journey should follow that example, but I don't believe they will. I can hope. JMHO--which is both biased and silly.

Kicks ass!! The only thing better than this video would be sitting on that front row!!
No one can touch Schon
I saw this tour.
Forget your sister...Stevie's lookin real good to me!
"THE VOICE"
If I ran in like that, I'd probably fall off the stage. :o But crowdsurfing doesn't sound so bad either. x]
This is true of just about all the bands of this time period. It's the current music acts that suck ass.
At 2:00, that is the first time I've ever seen Steve use matched grip -- am I wrong? Seems like every clip I've seen is him with a traditional grip...
@ZYVZX Good and valid points. Peace.
Is Neal playing a Paul Reed Smith Guitar on this video? I can't quite make it out.
wouldn't you like too no,,
Fn deadly
Adidas shorts, fuck yeah!
@urbantiki Ross Valory.
My bad, this was after Cain joined.
Doesn't Jon play guitar on this song these days?
There music became garbage after Frontiers, their best
Separate Ways
Chain Reaction
Send Her My Love
Faithfully
Only the Young
Ask the Lonely
Only Solutions
Liberty--the one song that shows off Perry's voice more than any other they ever did
Raised on Radio and Trial by Fire were bad.
