This video surfaced several weeks ago. It made my heart leap with joy!!!  As a lady with her memories firmly rooted in the 80’s, the band Journey is a big part of those. When I saw my Facebook newsfeed with the title of ‘Steve Perry Sings Again’, the biggest grin spread across my face!

I have heard the band (even live in concert) as it stands today with the lead being provided by Arnel Pineda. I think he is awesome and sounds very close to Steve’s original sound. I still support Journey and try to see them in concert whenever I can. Arnel, himself, has been quoted in saying that he was happy that Steve was on stage again and would graciously bow out if Steve wanted to be Journey’s frontman again.

I’m not sure if that will happen. I know that Steve doesn’t sound like he did 20 plus years ago, however I do feel that he does sound good and is still a showman. I am sure that he was very nervous stepping out onto that stage but it never showed.  I hope that I am around if it does happen…even if it’s just one time.  My little 80’s heart would absolutely explode!!!
