[@toodlescae]

Steve had the most technically perfect voice in rock bands. Perfect pitch is awesome. There was nothing to autotune even if we'd had autotune then. People have tried and there wasn't anything to autotune. Personally, even things that could have been autotuned on any of the singers back then would have destroyed what made the music great....the emotion and personality.

[@mamag612]

Couldn't agree more. All these people now days try to sing like him but they will never be able to copy such a talented and naturally angelic voice like Steve Perry.

[@xoxxobob61]

@@mamag612 I saw this tour & have been a fan since "Touchin' Lovin' Squeezin' (I was a Kid not even a Teen!) and I remember how the Rock & Roll Media hated Steve's voice at the time! They used to call him "The Duck" as in he sounded like "Daffy Duck"!

[@denisebrock3154]

You're right about the sound quality. People back then demanded Excellence from their vocalist and musicians. Rehearsals were long hard and brought to a level of perfection. Ask anyone who ever worked for Luther Vandross, James Brown, or even the great dr. Mattie Moss Clark. They will tell you these people were beasts when it came to rehearsals and getting it right. That's why we got such Top Notch music from these artists because they didn't settle for mediocre only for greatness

[@teresaboone7298]

True! Like Zeppelin live. Journey is like Zeppelin when it comes to showing their talent "out" of the studio. As a matter of fact, they both sounded better live than in the studio in my opinion.

[@beek218]
