Agree. Great show. And where did they find that guys who, looks like, sounds like and has a name like Steve Perry.
Neal Schon is smoking. That pedal board in front of where he is standing is huge. I liked the part when the piano guy was playing the Les Paul on Stone in Love. Neal ripped on that one too. Joey

I saw this tour in Virginia that with Peter Frampton. It was a great concert. You couldn't tell Steve Perry wasn't there.

Re: journey DVD

I saw Journey in 2003 and they kicked major ass. Thier drummer sang a couple songs too and probably has a higher voice than the singer. We were 6th row right in front of Neal. Neal has a nice mix of shreadding and melody. He still had about the same hair style he did in the Santana Video "Black Magic Woman" when he was like 15. I should get that 2001 concert DVD. I have the one that a mix of live stuff from all different years.

The drummer actually sings 2 songs on the new cd(generations) and sounds even more like Perry then Augeri does.

I met Neal this past spring while he was doing the SoulSirkus Tour. Short guy with the Jew Fro, but goddamn did he kick ass that night.I have always like his melodies and soulful playing.Seeing him 2 feet in front of me was amazing.

Steve Augeri played in a band called Tall Stories back in the 80's.He replaced Steve after the 96 debacle.I heard Neal on the radio right after they got Augeri and he was so pissed about Perry.It was live radio and he was cussing saying ..fuck that guy , hes a cocksucker, bla bla bla.

His word about the new guy was something like, "he looks likle Perry with a perm, sounds Like Perry and isnt an asshole.Why would i ever want to play with Perry ever again?" [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

In 1996, John Kolodner got the "frontiers" version back together for a album and tour.CD was a hit and Perry flaked on doing a tour, saying his hip needed to be replaced.He fucked the band by backing out at the last minute.Tons of money lost, promoters suing the band, all kinds of shit, all because he didnt want to tour.

The following year, they Got Steve Augeri and toured with Foreigner, and lou Gramm had just recovered from brain cancer surgery.Neal was calling Perry names and using Lou as an example of someone whos not a "pussy".

Re: journey DVD

Yeah, Dean Castronovo is an amazing drummer and good singer.I never knew that he could sing.He was the drummer on about half of the Shrapnel shred cds in the 80's.

Re: journey DVD

It was cool as hell when they did it live. The singer just goes "Check this shit out" and away the drummer went. I completely forget what song it was but it was one of the Higher ones.

Re: journey DVD

A long time ago....

I had the origional recording of the Stars song that people have been talking about here at the JCF. It had all the guitarists doing their own solos before the final mix on it. One thing about that version, I thought Neal Schon ripped everyone there. The guy just has a effortless style to him. The guy just tears it up.

Funny thing was watching Yngwie fuck up on video.
