Review: As good as it gets - while reading Sarita's review, i could tell she is a true fan, even though some of the items stated are not quite factual. i saw Journey on that tour. it was my second concert with the amazing mr. Steve Perry fronting a great rock band. i was very pleased to know that i had also seen them while recording the live album on May 22, 1980 in Cincy. on the first show, there was the great Greg Rolie who had done a lot of the lead vocals for Journey in the early Pre-Perry album offerings. and Greg was a pretty good vocalist, having sung "Black Magic Woman" with Santana where he got hooked up with Neal. on the Escape tour, we were introduced to Jonathon Cain, formerly of The Babies (who opened for Journey on the Captured recording tour). JC brought a new flair to Journey in that he could also play guitar and got into the writing effort that helped make Journey more hits. (He wrote Faithfully) he's also got a decent voice on him as his solo projects show. I've seen the new Journey and while Steve A. is a very good vocalist that sustains the Journey sound we old timers have become used to, he's not even close to the performer that Steve Perry was in his time as front man. Steve A. looks the same leaving the stage at the end of the show as he did in the first song. SP was covered in sweat 3 songs in. and he never stopped moving while the music played. i recently bought the new cd, Generations. it's good. so was Arrival, Steve A.'s first full length cd with the boys. but if you want to see GREAT Journey, this Houston show is the one to have. I recorded it in 1982 on vhs when it ran on tv one night. i've since lost the tape, but the show was almost as good on tape as it was in Cincy. NOBODY sang with as much energy at a full run as SP could. Nobody holds a note like Steve Perry. It's rumored that Steve A. had also given up on getting into the music business because he was continuously told he sounded too much like Steve Perry and we already had one of those! as they say, close but no cigar. I'll still go see them when they come around, no doubt about it. But if you are a recent fan of Journey, do yourself a favor and see where they come from, the foundation that this kick ass band was built on. Neal is one of the greatest guitar players ever in the history of rock n roll as far as i'm concerned, but Steve Perry made the band great. i can still remember the first time i heard the Infinity album and heard Steve Perry sing "Lights". I was blown away. by the way, "open Arms" reached number 2 and was as close to a #1 hit as they got. The did get a Grammy nomination for "when you love a woman" off of the "trial by fire" cd. what a nice piece of recognition after a 10+ year absence. no matter what problems they had that caused them to part company, Steve Perry was the heart of Journey and there will not be another one like him ever. often imitated, never duplicated. get the DVD, see the real deal. see why they have "Generations" of fans.

If you can find it *by G***E on August 31, 2025* Old school Journey. This is the video they will show in music history classes 200 years from now when they cover arena rock. Steve Perry and Neal Schon, Steve Smith, Jonathan Cain snd Ross Valory? At their highest commercial success. High energy anthem rock, love ballad rock and AOR perfection. High fidelity bliss. From the greatest generation of rock music ever produced.
