@tenn_ore24 күн бұрын
Yes, indeed...they had been touring nonstop for like four years before Steve Perry joined. That's how they made their fortune because Herbie ran them into the ground touring because they didn't sell a ton of albums. Too bad they still toured so hard after they made it big, because Steve got burned out, and so did Gregg eventually. Neal, on the other hand is like the Energizer Bunny, that guy never tires out. He's still at it, the only one of those guys left.
