Steve Perry of Journey Interview Slideshow 1984, Part 1 of 2

I tried to be happy about what paths God takes me and found I had missed performing music when I left music school 22 years ago. But I discovered I enjoy playing guitar and using my voice by experimenting with the vocal chords after watching Steve Perry perform on these videos. I didn't know how popular they were until this year, 2009. Although only purchased one of their first CDs in 2001, I found them to be fascinating and have plans to purchase their digitally mastered CDs this year. I have gone back to training myself to play the piano and I learned from native americans that there are different sounds from using the nose, voice, mouth, etc. I have a love for music that never went away although I stopped playing the cello, violin, viola, and piano 20 years ago. As far as my musical skills, I would love to play the tambourine for a band. I can't go back and restudy everything I didn't study but I go on with my Masters degree in non-profit management and try to be involved in the arts and child development. I don't think I can sing like Steve Perry, but I try to make the most of my voice and what music training I received over the past 40 years. I wish the members of Journey would give Steve encouragement during hard times including his recovery from hip surgery. I have assisted disabled students at Indiana University and know that people need assistance after surgery or injury. I broke a leg in three places myself and didn't think I could walk again. It was a miracle that I healed and Steve Perry is an inspiration. May God bless always.

his voice is soooooooo hot!!!! i love him soo freaking much!!!!!

Steve is very talented when it comes to being interviewed. Words are carefully chosen, yet he sounds friendly, open and informative (which he is, but he can get around questions or provide just enough information and not sound smarmy, like he's trying to hide something). I am becoming more impressed how he has orchestrated his career and I think that he was deeply hurt by the breakup of Journey. I love his voice and showmanship - my favorite performer of all time.

thanks for this interview CAIRwatch and the BTM,can't get enough of Steve.I was at the kroger store the other night and my hubby said, listen(knowing how I'm crazy about Steve)OMG its "Oh Sherrie".My first time to hear that on the radio,I was so excited listening to it with a BIG smile.I hear the Journey GH all the time though being played,always makes my day.Thanks Steve.....

That was not may quote..."I would have koved....
Sometimes Youtube gets it wrong...but I happen to agree with you.

Steve Perry is soooo my father, brother, cousins trustworthy kind of guy.

"...I would have loved to have seen his facial expressions during this interview."

Yes, I'm sure we all share that sentiment with you!

I actually like to listen to this interview just laying here on my couch eyes closed. Steve's voice and way of talking are so so soothing, it relaxes me like nothing else...

Really?? Would love to hear more about that for sure :D Such a shame you missed out on seeing him, can only imagine how disappointed you must feel.
