Steve Perry: 1994-11-22 Atlanta, GA (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

This is a superb sounding recording of the Steve Perry Atlanta, Georgia show on the 1994/1995 For The Love of Strange Medicine tour.  This is one of the better sounding shows and the performance from Perry is just as good as the sound.

Thanks goes to "techtuts" for this copy he sent me a few weeks ago.  I've been really impressed with his audio editing skills, however, this show was left untouched as far as EQ work or audio editing goes.  And thanks goes to "Steve7711" for taping and sharing this show!

The only song that is incomplete in the show is "Anyway You Want It" which was likely a tape flip point.  The taper captured an excellent recording and the crowd noise is not bad at all in the show.  This show has a more full range of frequencies present and it sounds much nicer than some other excellent sounding shows from this same tour.  There is some very light clipping on some tracks but it is not something you'll even notice.  I saw them in the waveform and they were small and not bad at all.  But I'm mentioning them for those interested in knowing.

There are more Steve Perry and Journey shows to come as I get around to preparing them for uploading.  I transferred a 1st generation 1995-03-13 Irvine, California show earlier this year and "techtuts" did some excellent work on the show fixing as best as we could some tape issues on this tape source.  The source has been shared in lossy formats by others (without the errors being fixed) we know and this copy that has been worked on sounds much better.  I transferred the tapes in the 48 kHz/24 bit sample/bit rates too and I'll likely upload that copy as well as the 44.1 kHz/16 bit (CD ready) version also in the near future.  It's a great sounding show!

I have one last request.  I've been searching for a few Journey shows from the 1981 - 1983 Japan tours I really want to upgrade from the lossy mp3 copies I had to get after losing my lossless sourced copies.  I have been looking for the following:

1981-07-27 Osaka, Japan "Little Girl" (or any other title for this date)
1981-08-01 Tokyo, Japan
1982-04-09 Fukuoka, Japan
1983-02-25 Furitsu, Japan (not the Rubicon "Faithful In Osaka" because it is lossy)
1983-03-01 Tokyo, Japan
1983-03-02 Tokyo, Japan AUD (not the SB/FM/Video version)

I hope you enjoy the show...

UPDATE 2015-08-25:
After sharing this show on Dime this morning, the taper, "Steve7711", saw the post and shared his artwork he created.  I had no idea Steve taped this great show.  So all thanks goes to him!

Steve Perry: 1994-10-22 Minneapolis, MN (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

This is an excellent recording and an upgrade to earlier copies of this show I have had and heard.  I'm not sure if this is the same source or just a better (and lossless) generation copy.  The original sharing party mentioned the person they had got the show from claimed to have taped it.  But they had no way to confirm nor deny the information either.

The waveform on this show is superb looking and it indicates whoever recorded and worked with this audio knew exactly what they were doing.  There is no clipping either in the waveform.

I'll compare my older copy of this show I've had since the late 1990's later and see if this may be a alternate source.  I'm putting this copy to disc right now to examine it even closer (or louder and better) with the home theater system.  I know it will sound excellent.  It will be great to hear many of these songs again also because it has been a while since I've jammed out of a 1994 Steve Perry show.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Steve Perry: 2014-05-25 St. Paul. MN (FLAC_AUD Master_Bootradr Remaster_1 CD)

On the same night as the show I recorded and just uploaded of Journey's Dallas performance, Steve Perry made his return to the stage in an Eels concert surprising many.  Most who were surprised were those of us not at the show.  But the lucky people attending the Eels concert, whether they were old enough or not to know who Steve Perry is and was, seemed to enjoy the surprise too.

There are a number of YouTube videos floating around now of that night one week ago today.  But here's something even cooler.  He did it again last night, this time in Washington, DC's Lincoln Theatre.  There is at least one good YouTube 1080i video from that performance I've seen tonight too.  Let's just hope this is leading up to a new Steve Perry release and forthcoming tour to follow.  He still has the pipes and the melody and I am hoping for the the best (a tour)!

This upload I'm making now is of an excellent audience recording of the whole Steve Perry part of the 2014-05-25 show.  However, not knowing or even caring much about the band Eels, I only obtained the Steve Perry part of the show which was the third encore for Eels.  What a treat!  And this sounds so much better than the videos (lossy) floating around on YouTube and similar sites too.  Perry's voice is up front in this very clean master audience recording shared by "captinzander" a few days back.  Thanks goes to them for sharing this recording!

NOTE: I'm not really sure what was meant by the headphones use in "captinzander's" lineage?  They'd mentioned having a short in their good microphones and were unable to use them.  But the headphones part was not explained.

The original 48 kHz/16 bit FLAC files were low on volume and had a few pops/clicks in the audio so I fixed that. That may not constitute a remaster, but I call it that anyhow when work is done on a recording.  No EQ work was done nor needed on this excellent, practically superb, audience capture.

I'm adding the 1080i YouTube HD video below as a sample of the show and NOT this audience recording (that sounds much better and is not lossy audio as the video is).  You may have to change the default 360p/480p standard definition setting to 1080i at the bottom of the video to see it in high definition.   If you've already seen it, well good.  If you haven't, even better!

I hope you enjoy this historical night 'captured by (or in) the moment' ...

Steve Perry: 2012-01-XX Denver, CO Radio Interview (FLAC_SB/FM_1 CD)

PREFACE: No official music released or other official material was played in this live radio interview!!!

This is a very interesting, live telephone interview Steve Perry did with a Denver radio station two years ago.  I do not know what FM radio station it was or I'd mention the station's callsign.  Talk ranges from the days with Journey (a lot), his solo career, and similar topics.  And one good thing about this interview is the DJ is a huge Journey fan too.  So he knows his stuff.  Steve Perry gets into some personal discussion too that is interesting (at least to me) and he talks well of Neal Schon also.

There's not much to put in the way of details other than it's 57 minutes long and there are no commercials.

As far as I know this was only aired in the Denver area and was not a network, nationwide broadcast.

Being a lifelong Journey fan, everything from 1973 - now, I'm excited to see Perry's been involved in some music project/awards ceremonies this month.  Just a few days ago he was part of a drum-off awards ceremony where he actually joined in and sang a small solo part on stage with about 15 or so other artists.  It was enough to get me thinking and hoping again he may be doing something (as we keep hearing) in his studio.  I guess only time will tell?

One other thing of interest to me is a comment I made a while back ago on Neal Schon's website about this interview.  He actually took 90% of what I said and posted it on his (or Journey's) Facebook account which surprised me.  The reason I was surprised was because I'd talked about liking Arnel but I still wanted to see Steve Perry in the band again before they called it quits.  It's interesting he didn't chop out that part as well as a few other ones.  He did cut out the tactfully worded, and without any bootleg connotations, mentioning of the Denver FM shows broadcast live in 1979 I referred to though :-)  But they applied to the interview too as Perry talks about them.

Enjoy the interview...
