Steve Smith & Vital Information: “Don’t Stop Believin’” from the NEW PERSPECTIVE Album (2025)

[@marksowers5041]

Such a different interpretation and so excellent. Thank you, Manuel, Janek and Steve for such art!

[@handidrummer]

Dear God this is so good

[@burpvom]

Unbelievably cool!

[@ncheltsov]

I know it is not connected to this clip but I am still dreaming for you to unite for at least one more Vital Tech Tones album. These were my first fusion albums. I had them on my Walkman and listened to it for at least half an year without fail.

[@wilkinsnl]

Hell yeah!

J’adore cette nouvelle mouture de vital information, en trio, très musical, vraiment intéressant

[@therealandrecorbin4050]

Awesome work everyone

[@pilotpete405]

Manuel did a stellar job on reharmonizing this classic tune! Sounds a little bit Steely Danish etc……….( let’s see the current guys in journey try to play this version!) Janek is an alien……

[@kevinshaw8889]

I love this reinterpretation! So well done! Also, the drum mix sounds nice and open.

[@euripedes78]

Very good! Excellent! Giants!

[@tjthorn9703]

Love this interpretation, Steve. And your drums sound fantastic and played by the master!

[@scotthesler644]

Beautiful to the ears…sounding great as always Steve! Overhead video made it even better.

[@BasicDrumming]

Great video.

[@中-p3f]

Because I knew the original song, it felt new and comfortable to listen to and I was captivated by it.😊

Steve this is butter. Right on Brother.

[@nelsono4315]

very nicely done !

[@lylemoultrie5498]

wonderful!!

[@34jazzman]

Sounds great Steve, you’re making want to start using black dots again.

[@axxeminister]

Yeah me too. I forgot how punchy they are. I would expect coated heads for this genre but the black dots tie it together. Machine gun Smith strikes again.

[@sebastianorlando7275]

fantástico

[@BluemanDrummer]

Very cool ❤

[@rickeguitar9086]

You can see the difference when a musician chooses to hone his craft from those of his former band mates that chose rather to hone in on their greed over their musicianship. Steve, so great to hear this side of your playing! Very tasteful interpretation of the Journey classic. It was really tough to locate my place in the arrangement. But, it was truly a "New Perspective"! Loved it! Cheers!

[@HenkJanDrums]

Nice sound . Great playing.

[@danasekundiak2604]

Saw you guys live in Phoenix at the MIM. Fantastic show!

[@eliascolon1980]

Love it! Thank you Steve for being such an inspiration!

[@Jitd110]

Great Performance and Musicianship!!!!

[@Alan-u8m9j]

Awesome!!! I actually prefer this version over the original! I was already a fan of Vital Information and this just makes me more of one!

[@UPdan]

Love the drums tuning.

[@constantkiffer7924]

Tasteful an inspired- music & video👌🏻😉

[@orlandoperalta2225]

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿...

[@rythymsection7335]

Love the thump on the outside floor tom!

[@SPACEMAN_fkYT]

Cool man.

[@yostich69]

Dig it man!

[@giulio-d9d]

for me he is the BEST

[@gregbiberdorf3177]

Love the floor Tom set up. Just wish you would’ve whacked that gong once. Awesome.

[@PaulMarangoni]

Nice playing Steve! I especially like the hi-hat work. 😋 When will the record be available?

[@copperwoof]

Fantastic, Steve! Maybe you guys can reimagine some Jean Luc Ponty tunes? Your work with him was amazing. Cheers!

[@10ampsloblo21]

seen him with journey in 2017 awesome drum solo.

[@aaronhorvath3291]

Super HIP guys, with taste. Classic.

[@leokart69]

sssooo fucking awesome

[@einarabelc5]

Please please please do a Jazz version of Frontiers, the song.

[@ThomasZimmermanndrums]

Great, so good - does anyone know which ride-cymbal Steve plays?

[@oldbandguy]

It's just not right that one of my all-time favorite rock drummers is also one of my all-time favorite jazz drummers!

[@carlostroncozo3760]

Alguien sabe cuál modelo es su platillo ride K ? Suena maravilloso ...!

[@Riddim4]

Nicely done!

[@EvilKeith]

🆒🆒🥁🥁🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@HarryJoiner]

KILLER

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

The whole band is awesome, but Steve Smith is just a monster. I don't think "the best" is a rational discussion, but there are musicians like him who are clearly at another level.

[@tylermorrison7051]

The original is great, but it's been overplayed. This cover is just what the world needed. We'll done!

[@mikeg1323]

Wait a minute wait a minute. Where is Perry lol..... I'm just joking... This is incredible and as 3 piece outstanding
