"Would I prefer a Perry-led Journey? Well, I think that's obvious, though he had some serious vocal issues on the FTLOSM solo tour that were NOT cold related---I have recordings and he was definitely not sick which makes me wonder about whether his voice would hold for a Journey tour, but that's a side subject better left for another debate."


The recordings you have do not sound great because they are bootlegg material. I have a live recording of the show i i saw in Seattle and it sounds not even close to what i saw live! Perry's voice was incredible, in top form! Everyone after the show could not believe he still sounded so awesome! This was in 95 at the 5th ave theater in seattle. He had a lung infection afterward and had to cancell the rest of his shows. It had nothing to do with voice problems. I am so tired of people saying his voice is giving out because it hasn't! He sings in a different style than he used to because of maturity in his voice due to age and he stated during ''street talk'' that he wanted to change his vocal style. I saw the man live in 95 and i know how great his voice sounded.
