I too am 68 ... I was in an Attack Squadron based out of NAS Lemoore, CA ... I believe it was '88/89 ... we held a squadron function at Rubi Calva's a restaurant just outside Hanford, CA ... When we arrived, I was astounded to see a person sitting at the bar who looked exactly like Steve Perry. Long story short ... it was him ... he bought us a round. We invited him in ... he graciously refused. He is a saint! He had returned to his home to look after his Mother ... a native Lemoore-on. Steve ... I was once asked if I would be caught dead listening to Journey while driving my Corvette? Hell yea! Journey rules! Biden can suck it!

None of the band members were in the studio at the time of the raid, but they were recording an album there. You are correct, however. Perry did take good care of his voice and used drugs the least.

I agree..he is a great bass player..and wrote several.of the songs on the first album. Google the Winterland videos and watch/listen to him on the one called "unnamed instrumental"..it is actually one of their early unreleased songs called charge of the light brigade. Valory, Schon, and Dunbar (before Steve Smith) are incredible. Schon is in the stratosphere on it. Dunbar was every bit the drummer that Smith is. But I agree, Valory does not get the credit he deserves.

Back in the 80s when all of these Metal Head guitarists were getting involved in Metal Aid they gathered together guys like George Lynch from Dokken and some of those other so-called "rock guitarists trading riffs. When Neil Schon stepped up all of their jaws dropped as he proceeded to shred and annihilate every one of them with his incredible runs and churning riffs. He blew every one of them away like you wouldn't believe. He is truly one of the very top guitarists and I would not say he's underrated except maybe by people who just don't know!

1:25 that glance Schon gives to Perry, "your vocals are so worthy". That glance gives away so much of his thoughts at that moment. Epic.

The intro drum parts to this song keep Steve pretty busy and they are playing this song quite a bit faster than it was recorded and Steve Smith does not miss a beat and makes it look easy-as he always did.

@@jasperjenkins7729 Yes, Steve Smith is to drum world, that Neal is to the Guitar world. Smith is a world class drummer, and it is obvious Schon loves to Jam and improvise on the fly with him like they did on this song. I love how Neal shakes his head "NO" to his band mates (i.e. Perry not to cut in with vocals) to let them know him and Smith are not finished! You can see Ross Valory laughing at the end due to the "tug of war" between Schon and Perry. I do like Perry, but I saw Herbie Herbert say that Neal always wanted to rock and Perry always wanted to croon! I personally love the pre-Perry stuff, like most of the Perry stuff, but I can't stand when people act like Journey couldn't do anything without Perry.. well that goes both ways..he was shoveling chicken shit (literally) before Journey, and he has not done anything memorable since leaving either! It was a band, and he was singing with world class musicians behind him, and writing most of the music...not lyrics, but the music.
