Is this the footage you all are referring to? There is nothing from his official channels or any news sites about him performing. Is that really him? The comments are also turned off on the channel which is a little weird. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsywcY9JuCQ&ab_channel=yoichinyc

Agreed...I am blown away this wasn't on any of the news sites.

Odd timing given what's going on with Journey. It could be and probably is just a one-off performance for fun. Or maybe he's testing out the pipes to go out with Schon and the other original members. Highly unlikely but who knows. They could fill arenas with Perry back.

He sounds good. Journey is one of those bands I wish I grew up and got into earlier. When I had the chance to see them, at that time I wrote them off as a "chick band". What a mistake.

HOF · « **Reply #563 on:** January 09, 2023, 10:33:44 AM »

I had a hard time telling much about how he sounded from the videos. He seemed to be backing off the mic and just letting the crowd sing for most of the higher parts on Don’t Stop Believin.’ It’s cool to see him performing again, but I doubt he’d want to go out on a major tour at this point.

Samsara · « **Reply #564 on:** January 09, 2023, 10:36:15 AM »

To be honest, while it could be him, when I got a close up on his face, it doesn't look like Steve. Maybe he had work done? I also thought he fully embraced his gray hair, and obviously, this guy isn't gray.

He sounded okay if this is really Steve Perry. His face just...it looks off to me. Not sure why. If it is him, he wasn't bad.

I sent the clips over to my wife, who is a big fan as well. See what she thinks. It is awfully weird no one knew about this, and there's nothing official about it. Then again, Perry likes to do that.

Update: Wife agrees with me - that's not Steve Perry. It's someone pretending to be him.

I had a similar thought for a moment during, I think it was "Faithfully". But he's got the mannerisms down pretty good (though anyone who has seen The Musical Box knows that's not impossible to recreate faithfully).

Samsara · « **Reply #566 on:** January 09, 2023, 10:40:08 AM »

I just updated my post. Yeah, that's not him. My wife agrees with me. Not him at all. Although he HAS obviously studied his mannerisms for sure.

Yeah, I gave this a much closer look this morning, and I'm with your wife. This was a 'very' convincing tribute act...

HOF · « **Reply #568 on:** January 09, 2023, 11:00:22 AM »

A tribute band would make more sense. This is the most recent photo of Perry from his twitter (from 11/24):

I kind of questioned if it was him as well. Something was off facially for me but the mannerisms were pretty spot on.

cfmoran13 · « **Reply #570 on:** January 10, 2023, 07:20:31 AM »

These are a couple very recent pictures of Steve Perry in the studio with a band for whom he performed backing vocals, along with Jonathan Cain's daughter.

goo-goo · « **Reply #571 on:** January 10, 2023, 07:27:12 AM »

Guy in the blue shirt is Steve Lukather's son, Trev. The band was Zero Fucks Given (ZFG) then had to change names to Levara. Pretty good pop rock, catchy music. They had a fallout and now he's gone solo. He'll be releasing an album sometime this year. He seems he inherited his dad's musical genes from what I heard in Levara and a single he has released for his upcoming album. He married Johanthan's Cain daughter last year.

Stadler · « **Reply #572 on:** January 10, 2023, 07:36:57 AM »

CONFIRMED: https://www.voyageband.com

That's Hugo Valenti in that video. That band is no joke; the bassist was part of the Dougie White version of Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow (I knew he looked familiar). The drummer plays in Gary Cherone's non-Extreme side band, Hurtsmile. Couple of them are Berkelee guys.

Deathless · « **Reply #574 on:** January 10, 2023, 12:52:19 PM »

So Cain will be touring with the band next month (Schon confirmed this in a response to a fan). Wonder if they've settled their business issues or if they are ongoing lol.

Greg Rollie joined the band for the encore last night, and they played “Of A Lifetime,” along with several other Rollie era tunes as well as Santana’s “Black Magic Woman.” Wonder when the last time they played “Of A Lifetime” was. Pretty cool.

I saw that. Very cool. One of my coolest memories is seeing Schon-Rollie-Castronovo do "Journey Through Time" a few years back. Was a great evening of old Journey and some Perry-era classics.

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #577 on:** February 23, 2023, 12:21:19 PM »

That's neat. Early Journey, and especially Of a Lifetime, is my favorite Journey. It still knocks me over when I hear it now.

Yeah, I'm all over that. Never heard Deen sing before, dude's not bad.

Okay, little pissed with Frontiers. 3 CD / DVD set and the Blu all by itself. I don't want a freakin' DVD!

Orbert · « **Reply #580 on:** March 21, 2023, 01:00:38 PM »

I might have to check that out. Journey was a favorite band of mine long, long ago.

New Journey was shit but this is a nice setlist. Might be worth a try.

Listening to this now.

Hey, if you like Journey, especially older Journey, this is for you.

It's not perfect - definitely a few rough spots. But hey, it's a live performance, and it mostly rocks my face.

devieira73 · « **Reply #586 on:** May 23, 2023, 12:56:43 PM »

Yes, it's not perfect, but it is AMAZING! Loving Deen's performances!!

Samsara · « **Reply #587 on:** May 23, 2023, 02:04:55 PM »

I saw the tour they did. February 2019. It was amazing. Deen had a bad cold, and still absolutely killed it. Fun show all the way around.

ProfessorPeart · « **Reply #588 on:** July 22, 2023, 08:16:15 PM »

Sigh, well, I guess we can expect to not see anymore Journey Through Time shows.

I was at douche Brett Michaels Party concert last night and Steve Augeri sang 3 Journey songs. It amazed me how many idiot fans thought it was Steve Perry.

UGH! Has there been a cease and desist order on new sales? I hadn’t picked this up yet, but I guess I better before it goes out of print.

Well, it's a Frontiers release and they tend not to be in print for very long anyway, at least from what I have seen. Amazon is out of stock on the CD/DVD set but still has the Blu-ray. Laser CD, where I got it, is out of stock completely. The Frontiers US store has both in stock, it appears.

I honestly thought Augeri sounded pretty bad too. He had good moments and sounds a lot like Perry, but really missed on a lot of the vocals.

He was good. But I know going in that any singer in their 50's plus will not hit their notes anymore.

Besides, he had surgery on his vocal chords. That's why Journey. Over on from him.
