EscapeRocks Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Not that I care one way or another, but they're tuned down a 1/2 step from the original. We do that, so I can't say anything...just pointing it out. It is interesting that sometimes they do and some shows they don't tune down. The Today show I think was tuned down due to the fact they were still up from the show last night in MN. flew into NY at 4am and were going non stop till the end of the broadcast. Yes, Jon has been using the V-Piano, with his trusty old Ensoniq TS-10 on top of it. (1 of a few he owns) on most shows over in Europe, and special events like this. For those who asked, they retired the Whale (red Yamaha) a couple years ago. He bought a beautiful new Fazioli that they use on tour in the states. Oh, as far as Perry/Augeri/Soto/Pineda stuff, I never get involved in any of those discussions.... i.e. 1 tribute band guy who this didn't "hit a nerve" with.

Steve Nathan Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 No Perry, no interest. For me it's No Steve Smith, no interest. Schon's got a son who plays guitar in a band fronted by Cain's daughter. There both pretty good, but the younger Schon in particular is likely to be a serious player when he grows a little. Shows a little more tasteful nuance than his dad did at that age. Don't rush me.

Joe Muscara Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I like how you distinguish her by noting her unique red headband.... I don't know... how would you distinguish her, Joe? Not by something that half the people in the crowd were wearing. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

I guess they are all doing that as well... Could this be rehearsed behavior? Models in the front row all swinging their arms and singing along, happy and smiling?

Griffinator Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Pineda struggled bad on both attempts at "...in the niiiiiiiiight" and every other time he had to hit and hold that note. I cringed. I'll cut him some slack for the fact that they just did a show the previous night and caught a red-eye to make this one, but...

I had no idea that New Yorkers were so jolly and overjoyed to see Journey! That's what people do at these kinds of shows. They all sing along, wave their arms, and make motions to show that they know where the 'moments' in the song are. I'm sure there were guys playing air guitar to those triplet lines Schon plays at the beginning. It just goes on and on and on... P.S. It's possible the people running the show moved the more "photogenic" where they would get on screen. Some shows have a big procedure about who gets to sit where in the audience.

His daughter Madison is who I believe Steve is referring to. I've been following her (and Jonathan, of course) on another site. What I've heard from her so far is pretty decent. While going off topic a bit, one thing I think is cool is how Jon has had is whole family with him on the U.S. part of the tour.

kanker. Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 The master is still the master... Yeah, it just shows exactly how good a vocalist SP was back in the day. I'm not much of a Journey fan, but the live clip made me really want to hear the original to hear SP sing it. Dude had sick skillz A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable.

Mitch Towne Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 That clip of Journey in Houston reminds me that I would much rather hear four guys belting out the vocals and not always getting them instead of all the perfect backing tracks in the world.

gryphon Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I can't find anything out there post-1977 of Journey's earlier stuff, gryphon, so I'm gonna guess "no". I'm assuming you meant "pre-" instead of "post-." Journey formed in the mid-70's. One of their first pieces was named Kohoutek, which was a comet that came near earth in 1973. I watched it. I still have their debut album on vinyl. Ex-Santana. They have changed a lot since that day. In fact, it appears they have entirely abandoned their initial, mostly instrumental, vision. It made them rich, though. Estonia 190, Korg TrinityPlus, Yamaha P90, Roland PK-5a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does, or has, Journey ever played any of their original tunes in concert like "In The Morning Day" or "Topaz" ? Or do they only play their later saccharine tunes after Perry joined? On their "Generations" tour (2005) they essentially did a set of their pre-Steve Perry stuff, took an intermission, then came back with a set of the Steve Perry hits. I'm not sure they did those two songs, but it was cool hearing them stretch out on the older stuff.

I'm not much of a Journey fan, but the live clip made me really want to hear the original to hear SP sing it. Dude had sick skillz I've never had any use for Journey or their "genre" but I have a Steve story: Back when the US draft was in effect, Mr Perry spent his time in Edmonton (doubly famous for being home of the Procol Harum live symphony album, and Maguscule's hometown) and joined a local pop/r&b band called Privilege. They used to play a club in my city regularly and when they added Perry, he was electrifying. Crowds would wait till the end of the night to hear him do "SherryBaby" by Frankie Vali & The Four Seasons and he brought the house down. Soon as amnesty came, he went back to the States. Although there's no resemblance, I can't help but believe "Oh Sherrie" was based somehow on "SherryBaby," or at least it was a good omen to base the song around that name. ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear.

Joe Muscara Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 From Wikipedia: The song was Perry's biggest hit as a solo artist and written for his then-girlfriend Sherrie Swafford,[2] who also appeared in the music video "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Joe Muscara Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I once dated a girl named Angie. Many of my friends found that pretty funny (though I can't say it's one of my top Stones songs).

JimboK Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 In my opinion, the best example of Perry's godlike vocals are in this video: (Still They Ride, Budokan, 1983) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jubogiBaUhQ Take note of 1:56 and 3:38.
