Hey everyone, this isn't posted on our official site - In fact, I'm not sure where it came from - But came across some video from a show we did last month...Since we don't have any official video on our site, thought I'd post a link to a few clips here.

No idea where they came from, but enjoy while you can. Thanks!

Killer "Open Arms" rendition, man.
Love the added vocal flourishes on the second chorus.
Out of curiosity, what were you drinking in between pauses?

Thanks TNC....That was bottled water between verses...!

Killer "Open Arms" rendition, man.

I agree!

Great stuff good job......Yeah those improvs leading to OA's chorus were amazing! I just played HOB Hollywood with Doors tribute Peace Frog and they wouldn't let us video......I only have pics of us backstage.

we got a video and photo waiver, on the terms that nothing would be used professionally, and only for our own personal usage. This is why this is not accessible from our site, only wanted to share with friends here.,

Jeremey, Perry is gonna sue you to get his voice and his tux jacket back!

I liked it as well. Did Espee sound like that? Hmm. And I liked the pants and the jacket. Ladies like a man who dresses nicely;well at least I do.

You need some boots. Jeremey sounds very much like him.

True dat.
IMO JH sounds more like SP than Augeri or Chalfont or Castronovo.

Wow! Very impressive.

Thanks so much for the compliments. And thanks to those of you who chimed in on that "other" thread - Don't want to jinx this thread, but it wasn't worth the time or effort carrying on any further with that. Joe, thanks a million for that compliment, that really means a lot - Really just posting this to generate interest for any of our shows that may come around in your respective necks of the woods - NIG - Hope to see you in a couple weeks, and should be catching up with Eric next month as well....Thanks again!

Agreed. Jeremy has a great voice and does Perry better than anyone I've ever heard. In fact, I enjoy the cd that a very kind person sent me of Jeremy's show more than some of the Journey boots I have.

Mind blowing man...Thanks for sharing these.

I've seen Jeremey and his band play a couple of times and they put on one heck of a show! Doesn't seem to matter the size of the audience, they put everything into their performance.

Jeremey,

Screw Perry. I mean, yes, the UNDISPUTED best singer ever, IMO. BUT,

Be your own man. I mean that in a good way. Hell, you seem good enough to get your own band. Thank Perry, and now go out and try to be as good as he was! Round up Randy Jackson, Ansley(he is probably just lounging around doing coke anyway), Nealisgod on rythm guitar, Fernando Ramirez on lead(dude smokes), and get Bruce Hornsby for the piano(the best pianist on the Planet). We are all set.

I'll manage us. TNC can do the PR thing. Dude will confuse the shit out of all the magazines and papers with his gifted use of vocabulary, that the press will think we are awesome, because they won't understand what TNC just said.

Red13 can be our accountant(dude can stop hounding lazy-assed, slow bill payers,and do something positive).

We can get Lori, Hots and PF, and they can be our roadies..We need beefy dudes to carry our gear, and they would be perfect. For per diem, we could just setup a trough with feed in it, and then just round em up and stuff em on the stock truck. They don't need TV or Microwave, just hay for good sound bedding.

sexxymofo can be our bouncer. Dude has serious appendages I am told.

Seriously.


We just need a band name.

We can call ourselves Melodic Rockers.

It sounds like a plan!! I could use the help of those roadies even now without my own band. I think we have a horse trailer we could use to transport and house them during gigs. It would only be a matter of feeding, I would be worried that our tour budget would be grossly underfunded for that.

Seriously though - If you are wondering why I do the Perry gig and not try to write stuff or get my own band together....This industry is fucked!! There's no way I could get arrested by a record label, and at 34, I'm far past my prime as a singer/songwriter type. Also - That's really my voice, so it's kind of jinxed me my whole career. Any kind of stuff I would write (and trust me, as some may know - Some of my writing had NOTHING to do with melodic rock), people would still call me Steve Perry. Unless I lived in LA about 10 years ago and had knew David Foster's gardner's wife or something I would have no chance in hell of doing anything in the recording industry.

I just love singing these songs, in my voice with a few Perry exaggerations, but it's the most fun I could imagine having in music at my stage in life. Thanks for listening, dude!

In another time, before Neal heard Augeri, JH could have pulled the Journey gig off. But then maybe not, because one of the things that got Hugo DQ'sd was he sounded too much like SP.

Thanks again man....If I had a quarter for every time I heard that after a gig, I wouldn't need a job with Journey. And I'm just stating a fact, that a lot of people say that to me after shows, not taking a stance and saying I agree. But, I do want to reiterate my above feeling that truly I am not the "mold" of a rock guy, so with that in mind, I would not have ever been in any way considered for a gig with Journey, while Hugo, being so physically close in appearance to Perry, may have been jinxed from the get-go anyway.

Thanks, Deano!

Jeremey's tribute band is great.... they sound awesome.

In this day and age, we could probably collaborate via the internet!

When does the tour start?

As soon as we can get a contractor to provide feed for the Loons and provide water trucks for them, after the work of setting up.

Jeremey!!

HOLY $#!T!!
