Jay was spot on by mentioning that he wished he could hear the studio version because he is missing something in this live version. I have mentioned this over and over in comments that they need someone like me to provide them the best video to watch for reviews. Hope they will call me up.

Nothing like the voice of Steve Perry live. So special! A great song. Miss this era of music. Ross Valory was Journey's bassist and split with the band suddenly in 1985/86. Journey brought in Randy Jackson to play bass on the record RAISED ON RADIO and tour with them. Randy had played bass for Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead) and Carlos Santana earlier and was known to be an exceptional bass player in the music industry. He has some street cred even through he is mostly known for American Idol. He has played music for Bob Dylan, Elton John, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Richards and countless others. Keep the Journey going!

Steve Perry is on many a short list of greatest R&R lead singers. His voice is a gift.

Perry grew up in small town Hanford, CA, just down the highway from where I live. He's never forgotten his roots and I heard he took a lengthy sabbatical to care for his mom as she died. I've met folks who went to school with him. He is much respected. Blessings ❤
