I've seen this rendition of Journey twice in concert (with Styx and REO Speedwagon - Kevin Cronin still sounds GREAT BTW...). The man is named Steve (Oterry or something like that), he looks a bit like Steve Perry and he sounds a bit like Steve Perry - he has a very good voice. I've also seen Journey years ago for their Raised on the Radio tour. It's NOT the same.
OTOH, it was great to hear the music live again. Neil Schon is still wicked good on guitar and it's a pretty good concert. I'd probably go to this more to see Cheap Trick.

PS. Steve Perry had cancer - I think in his throat - supposedly it's affected his voice so you may NEVER see him live again - it's a REAL shame - IMO - one of the BEST rock n' roll voices of ALL TIME. Also, the rumor is that Neil Schon and he just about HATE each other.

I am not to sure about that throat cancer Collen. On wikipedia as late as June of 07 there rumors that he might return to Journey until they got there new lead singer in December 07. I could find anything on the net but I could be wrong also. Joe. Perry

Did a little research - looks like you're right Joe, I'd heard the throat cancer thing as a rumor at concerts. Live and learn. The new, new guy with Journey is named ARNEL PINEDA - he does sound pretty good - there is a clip comparing the different Journey singers on YouTube here:
and here are clips of Arnel Pineda
IMO - it's still NOT Steve Perry....

What do you think of this video of Steve Perry? I like the song too bad it didn't get a lot of play when it was released...
