Recently while I was eating some pizza at the Universal City Walk in California, on the big screen right next to the Hard Rock Cafe, a video of Journey came on with them performing that song in concert back in their heyday. Boy were those guys young and skinny then! Pure Rock Stardom where the road and performing everynight really puts you in shape. One thing about Steve, he sure was amazing. Every note perfectly on pitch and so much power to spare. Truely one of my favorite singers of the 70′s and 80′s right through the 90′s with his solo stuff.
So what happened to Steve? Why did he leave Journey (or did he get fired)? What was the real story? Why did he stop singing? Was it really the nodes and he just couldn’t do it anymore, or did he just burn out? Well, whatever it was I’m sure glad to see he is still alive and enjoying life. One thing we can be sure of…If Glee didn’t play that song enough already…we’ll be hearing a whole lot more of it if the Giant’s make it to the Post Season playoffs. Can you say “more royalties”!
