No one said he was.

@@PeachWNK I disagree. Just check several videos where Deen is singing Journey stuff (VERY WELL I might add!) and gets a lot of compliments (including from me), but there are more than a few comments where someone says he was better than Steve. Everybody is allowed to have an opinion, I just respectfully disagree with that one. No big deal.

@@chucknovy7694 In *this* conversation thread I mean. It has nothing to do with Steve A. I don’t understand why people always need to add the postscript when Deen does some great Journey vocals. Yeah. We know, but it’s irrelevant. Besides, it’s apples to oranges. Steve and Deen have a different tone when they sing. When people say Deen is better, what they might mean is they like Deen’s tone better. It’s subjective and it’s about what feels best to their ears. It’s not diminishing Perry’s greatness.

@@PeachWNK Deen can't hold a candle to vintage Steve. Bottom line.

@@chucknovy7694 Again, like you said yourself, your bottom line is subjective.

They said at the time that he had severe pneumonia, I don't know the truth but I saw videos of him singing in 2016 and he couldn't sustain middle notes without falsetto, unfortunately he never fully recovered his beautiful voice from the past.

Interesting to note how much Augeri's vocal power has dropped over the years, compare shows from 1998 with those from after 2000

lyup.like what u mention he is a good person and truly appreciated the opportunity..same Armel ,he is living in a stricly ways

🤡

amen

I Absolutely Agree with You Arrival has been in either 3rd place or 4 th place Best Journey Albums as fas as Arrival has a little bit of everything Shows off the Band’s Ability to Play anything!

But of course you can say that during his prime, I don’t think he can sing the original key to Journey songs & his own song for that matter.

@@auroraignacio5161 Steve Perry doesn't have to. He is a legend.

agree .y​@@auroraignacio5161

He left soon after this. He probably blew his vocal chords. Great singer early on…and great now.

That’s the drummer Deen singing the high notes. That’s why he points to him.

And he also left when it was time. :) You’ll notice it says last concert.

He did awesomely great with Journey and was a perfect fit !

Yes agreed it was great
