Agree also .. while nobody can truly replace Perry . Augeri had a certain tone to his voice that just fit the music , he didn't sound like a clone of Perry like Arnel does . he sounded unique while still being able to have a voice that fit the songs , from their classic catalog .
This man is and always will be a true gentlemen. For so many years he helped keep Journey on the road but they gloss right over that part of their history for some reason and jump from Steve P leaving to the rags to riches story of discovering Arnel. Miss you Steve. God Bless you and your family always.
Grew up with my Dad and I hanging out backstage with Ross at many journey shows. Augeri was always such a gracious and kind guy to speak with. Memories with my Dad I will cherish forever. Miss you Dad
That is So Awesome So Glad You got to do that with your Dad Amazing experiences and Backstage Wow! From the time our Daughter was born we took her to every concert and she got to see Her Favorite Band Journey 5 times by age 6 So Fun
Erik, who did your Dad know to be able to get backstage 🤔 That had to be so cool. We're u able to chat with any other band members. Niel seems cool but not sure he is as genuine as Steve A, Ross V, Jonathan C or Dean who I loved behind the drums.
My Dad was life long friends with Ross. I got to meet and hang out with just about everyone over the years. I was too young to go until after Steve Perry left so I never met him. Neal was always super cool to me and he spent time just chatting with me more than once, but he is certainly a business man. Steve A has a heart of gold, he was always so appreciative of everyone. He actually recognized me in the VIP area because he'd seen me there before at other shows and struck up a conversation with me. Amazing singer and a great guy. Deen was probably the one I spent the most time with aside from Ross. He was super cool and gave me some of his own clothes when I was like 15 and we played basketball together. Ross is a great and humble man, blessed to have had his friendship all these many years. i was telling him once how much I loved the bass parts of Stone in Love and without missing a beat he said "yeah Neal wrote that" honest and humble always. Cheers! @@bradcrawford1998
Higher Place and Arrival the album is the MOST UNDERRATED Journey album is all time. This is a classic tune, everything in it kicks ASS, beginning, middle and the end that just ends in a bang. I would actually love to hear Steve Perry sing Higher Place in his prime. He would have knocked it dead. Steve A did a VERY credible job 😉
Steve A. has some cool moves on stage. He was a great match for post-Perry Journey. It is a bummer that he couldn't stay with it. But everything he sang with them was easy to listen to.
I saw them in Cadot Wisconsin in 1998. 4 day music festival of rock. They closed the festival. And no joke....they smoked a 2 hour set in the rain 50,000 people stunned by their performance. One of the greatest performances I have ever seen. Augeri got my attention that night!
Mark Phelps Arrival is one of my all time fav albums. Neal's work on it was especially outstanding. He told me that he had been writing Living To Do with his father right before he passed away. Makes sense....I can hear their love& respect thru that song & it's my fav on the album
Absolute killer bass line all along that song. And with his special tone, using the 4 highest strings of a 5 strings bass on his bass, he is teuly underated.
This album arrival so much old journey vibe , it's 0ctober 7 2023, found my self looking for the songs on this album rediscovered the CD at home remembering why I love this under rated album Algeri did it with class and Arnel keeping joinery alive ...
What an awesome song. And while Steve Perry is so my favorite voice, Augeri did his best to fill those huge shoes, and he did an awesome job! Plus he's a high quality guy, humble and nice.
O Man I remember this I was so Happy Journey had come back and while Steve Perry still is The Greatest Singer he had just kept this Amazing Band on Hold and the Album Trial By Fire suffered from a tour that never happened I Absolutely Loved Steve Auger’s time in Journey The Album Arrival is still one of my Top 4 Journey Albums So many Great Songs I Think Arnel has done an Amazing job as Singer Especially How Hard it must be on any voice to Sing Steve Perry Songs as much as they have been touring since coming back I was Bummed when Steve Augeri was no longer I remember in 1998 Vacation Over Tour I had just met my wife our first concert and in 99 the tour with Foreigner Journey-had jelled Great with new Singer when our Daughter was born in 2000 we took her to 5 Journey concerts by age 6 Oh and a bunch of other Classic Rock Bands She Loved Journey I remember the Band was doing Really Good as far as Fans coming to shows but nothing like 81 to 87 but still You talk to any true Journey Fan who saw them like I have since 79 there was only one time that I was confused by a choice who ever made I had been to see Jeff Scott Soto Great Singer but I was also Excited about Arnel I bought new cd actually a few gave them to customers I did that with Trial By Fire promotion just cause I was a fan That 2008 cd had some Great new Songs on but when my wife showed me second cd and they had re-recorded Journey Mega hits Steve Perry Iconic Songs and with all the unbelievable pressure that Arnel was facing that wasn’t Good His Accents he was just barely understanding English at that time but He has gotten So Good when each Singer Sings their Songs Best! Have gotten to see Journey since 79 23 times and will keep going
Steve A. gave Journey a new identity. The legacy sound was intact, and nobody is Steve Perry, but SA should have had a longer run. Arnel may have stronger pipes, but I much prefer the sound of this version of the band.
Steve Augeri is great voice in the time Journey ,dont the same Perry,never the people is the same,becose Augeri is gentleman👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍
I love the album & both Steve’s. IDK. I just can’t imagine Steve P singing these songs. Steve A owns them so distinctly especially Livin To Do. I asked N Al about that song as it has always touched me so deeply & his playing on it, along with SA’s soulful voice is magic. Neal told me he was writing it with his Dad right b4 he passed away & he finished the song g with Jon. Made me love it even more.
I got to see him perform the other night in Los Angeles and I truly do miss him with Journey!! I was too young to experience Journey with Steve Perry, so after watching behind the music and seeing Augeri, I had to see him live! My first Journey concert was with him behind the mic in 2002! Forward to today, I got to meet him after the show and he was just the nicest guy! I brought a collage of pics of that first concert and he signed it and took some pictures with me! It was an awesome show! Here is him now singing seperate ways.. th-cam.com/video/fG524fp5cQo/w-d-xo.html
bronx83 I was going to go see journey the first year with this Steve and then friend said this is not Perry so didn't get tickets.Sadly I regret it cause this is one of my fav songs he has the same energy on stage as Perry tooo.Gla Steve doing great and I follow him in twitter
Higher Place should've been a monster hit. Shame on their label for sitting on their asses once Perry was out. They gave their albums after Trial By Fire ZERO promotion.
Deen Castronovo, I Mean no disrespect to your drumming. Loved what you brought to the band.especially your vocals. Had the pleasure of seeing 6 times with the band. And just so you know. Neal’s Solo on Lights is the reason this 11 year old kid back in 1979 was the reason I learned to play Guitar. Neal is a Guitar God to me. And Journey has always been my favorite band.
edbigtruck none taken brother!! He’s the best drummer on the planet in my opinion and is a good friend ! I’ve seen him every time they come to Portland and it’s s lesson in humility lol!! He plays those songs RIGHT !! Always in awe of his playing
Deen Castronovo, I appreciate you replying. And Thanks for your part in helping to keep Journey alive. I never thought I was going to see the band play live again after the Split during Raised on Radio Tour. Which was my 3 time seeing the band. Escape and Frontiers were the first two. The Arrival Tour was Awesome to see the band live again.
Luzz dela torre, when you state "better than the original" what exactly do you mean? We can keep this civil or we can get real in a hurry. If you are implying better than Perry, then you are not a Journey fan. If Perry is the original that you are implying, Perry made Journey what they are today. Before that they were a Fusion band about to get kicked out of their recording contract. Now, they are merely trying to copy the original vocal sound that Perry made world famous and original.
Ronaldo Sanchez you should find out the truth that Steve Perry has left the band so they just want to continue over and over it is clear to. Everyone ho hate Steve Augeri and Arnel Pineda don't ever look down them at all.
Lmao. I get that being the internet tough guy is a thing, but you're talking about someone's opinion on the singer of a band that had its prime over 30 years ago. Ronaldo my man, go back to beating your wife because she doesn't like Steely Dan.
Man I’m going to have to say that after Revolution Saints put out a few albums, Dean Castronovo is a better singer overall. This guy is sharp and flat all over the place. I did hear at the end of his stint with Journey is voice was shot but this was early on.
I liked Steve Augeri and he was really good when they played Vegas in 2001...he really did well... but, he had a short run where his voice held up but...he couldn't sustain the strain of singing Steve Perry's songs. He was really having a problem here with his voice...you could hear him cracking and changing octaves to reach notes. It's sad to see him sing now...his voice is toast and totally shot and he goes around hanging on to the memory by singing Journey songs and sounds horrible!
![Journey [Deen Castronovo] - Keep On Running / Still They Ride - Live 2009](/img/n.gif)
Steve Augeri was and still is a class Act. He deserves respect for helping Journeys rebirth and keeping them a live for a Decade.
well put,....he arguably saved that band!
@@crispybell51 pretty much
No Steve Augeri no Arnell...Augeri paved the way! Man, how fast they forgot! Higher Places is a GREAT song! They should play this today!
As the biggest Steve Perry Fan, I love all Albums they did with Steve Augeri, he was the right singer at the right time 👍❤️🎤
Same, Arrival is my second favorite Journey album.
Agree also .. while nobody can truly replace Perry . Augeri had a certain tone to his voice that just fit the music , he didn't sound like a clone of Perry like Arnel does . he sounded unique while still being able to have a voice that fit the songs , from their classic catalog .
This song belongs in the hall of fame 🎵 👌 🙌
This man is and always will be a true gentlemen. For so many years he helped keep Journey on the road but they gloss right over that part of their history for some reason and jump from Steve P leaving to the rags to riches story of discovering Arnel. Miss you Steve. God Bless you and your family always.
Sorry to say .. he did not help journey ..journey helped him. He's not a good singer.
@@danymerilles5914 and you're obviously better, troll? 🙄

So many underrated songs on Arrival and Generations
So true. Arrival is an awesome album that gets no attention whatsoever.
Agreed it’s so underrated
@@WhiskeyBrewer let's not forget Red 13 too!
@@detroitdiezel7856 Can't forget Red 13. Wish they'd re-recorded songs off of that for Arnel's first album
Steve Augeri will forever be my Favorite Journey Singer Love everything he's done from Tall Stories to Tyketto to his work with Journey :D
Steve A. has some cool moves on stage. He was a great match for post-Perry Journey. It is a bummer that he couldn't stay with it. But everything he sang with them was easy to listen to.

Arrival is a good album. Still have the CD in my car, along with Journey's Greatest Hits.
Yep, a pretty decent album.

Arrival was a Great CD! It was a shame Steve had voice problems take him out of Journey. I have always heard he is a wonderful human being.
This song is definitely a master piece 🥧 👏 ✨ 🔥 💯 🎵 👌 🙌
This song is from the best music Era the 80s 🎶 😌 🎵 👌 🙌
I still miss augeri. He wasn't steve perry but was the next best thing journey had
Voice too soft for instruments. Needs stage presence.
Augeri did a great job! Much much better than the current one
@@skaracaesar4789 have you seen them in concert? Fill up the shoes very honestly to me. Grwat stage presence.
Absolute killer bass line all along that song. And with his special tone, using the 4 highest strings of a 5 strings bass on his bass, he is teuly underated.
@@skaracaesar4789 clueless lol
Such a freaking great song. The whole structure.
Neil never should of let steve go, he sounds so great here,they should of held on to steve and not let him go
I’ve read many times that Steve had some sort of vocal problem that took him out of performing. He won me over and I was a die hard Perry fan.
This song never gets old 🎵 👌 🙌
This album arrival so much old journey vibe , it's 0ctober 7 2023, found my self looking for the songs on this album rediscovered the CD at home remembering why I love this under rated album Algeri did it with class and Arnel keeping joinery alive ...
Big Augeri fan here!
I saw this guy live with Journey and he kicked ass
LOVE THIS SONG AND ALBUM. AUGERI IS A BADASS.
EVERY SINGER OF JOURNEY IS VERY VERY SPECIAL THANKS JOURNEY FOR ALL SONGS THANKS NEO
One of the best Journey songs ever.
All the singers of Journey were at the top and fit for the band.
Big show open air !
What an awesome song. And while Steve Perry is so my favorite voice, Augeri did his best to fill those huge shoes, and he did an awesome job! Plus he's a high quality guy, humble and nice.
ARNEL AND STEVE A. AND PERRY GREAT SINGERS OF JOURNEY🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😘🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘🥰😘🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥳

Steve augeri is amazing vocals.
Was such a great time in Journey history

Man pre 9/11 America seemed so free. This is great nostalgia
It was so different.
Steve Augeri was the best fit for this band. My wife and I met him in Baltimore at a restaurant very easy going guy , no rockstar attitude. Great guy.
Steve A. gave Journey a new identity. The legacy sound was intact, and nobody is Steve Perry, but SA should have had a longer run. Arnel may have stronger pipes, but I much prefer the sound of this version of the band.

Steve Augeri is UNDERRATED!
pre Sept 11, diff world diff times
He sings within his parameters good vocalist I don’t care what anyone says from tall stories to Tyler to to journey to the augeri band Reece the man
This was the best non-Perry song.
thfzn Absolutely!
very good song!!! i'm fan number one of the band,the best band!!!
Augery the best !

They had some good hits with Augerie
None can touch Steve Perry. However, Steve A. era was fantastic in song writing! Much love to the Arnel live shows!

You should have been. I didn't regret it.
Would love to hear Arnel sing this, Remember Me & World Gone Wild
Higher Place should've been a monster hit. Shame on their label for sitting on their asses once Perry was out. They gave their albums after Trial By Fire ZERO promotion.
Steve A. All the way.
Actually the dude on the drums, Deen Castronova, should be leading this band.
dougconley, what made Deen so special to the band he has amazing Vocals. I like Steve Smith better on Drums.
edbigtruck you and I both my friend! Smitty is a drum God to me!!

The Arrival Tour was Awesome to see the band live again.
Who would listen to journey with Steve perry back in the band 😉 😀 🎶 👀
What look? He's wearing sunglasses, and the video is pixelated like woah.
You can see the resemblance of Myles Schon when his dad had his hair this style..
Steve Augeri was the best fit for this band. Also Deen and Ross where the best fit. That’s my opinion.
Wonder what kid is doing now in front row.. curious to see if concert influenced him in his life works.
The rock most extciting is from Usa, no doubts.
That's the haircut Mr. Neal Schon deserves.

Man I’m going to have to say that after Revolution Saints put out a few albums, Dean Castronovo is a better singer overall. This guy is sharp and flat all over the place. I did hear at the end of his stint with Journey is voice was shot but this was early on.

very good voice...better than the original!!
luv it!
luzz dela torre Howz them drugs working for you? Either slow down on them , take more or just clean your filthy ears out , that might work you fool!
What??? He even sing out of pitching.... Castronovo n Soto was a best next lead vocal!
This will be a nice comment and I'm not even Mexican...
steve augeri, " the voice"
ROMMEL SANCHEZ we like all singers of journey they are very nice people.
very good voice...better than the original!!luv it!2nd time..
steve was better than arnel before voice damage
LOL, Arnel at 50+ is still way better w/ extra energy on stage
I liked Steve Augeri and he was really good when they played Vegas in 2001...he really did well... but, he had a short run where his voice held up but...he couldn't sustain the strain of singing Steve Perry's songs.
He was really having a problem here with his voice...you could hear him cracking and changing octaves to reach notes. It's sad to see him sing now...his voice is toast and totally shot and he goes around hanging on to the memory by singing Journey songs and sounds horrible!
Already signs of his voice being damaged. All in all a good performance though.
I think he sounds flat. Arnel is way better
Sorry no Apil 4meh
Easily as good as Perry .....
Low range.....
he is a tiny pitch flat on some parts ....you can tell his voice is fragile. but good for him .
I thought he was a great singer for Journey back then. I no longer follow journey with Arnel.
Steve Augeri > Arnel Pineda
Augeri looks good but boring..😧
OMG he can’t sing his voice !
