Ha! I saw them do that on the Document tour. Radio City Music Hall. They also sprinkled in a bit of Heartbreak Beat by Psychedelic Furs which was big back then.

new Steve Perry, I like it!

i do too!

i had a huge grin on my face from the opening chords on

I guess I never thought of him as having very distinctive vocal phrasing but the whole time I was realizing that he really does

you can tell he doesn't have quite the oomph or range but he seems to be able to work around it pretty well

it’s decent but i dunno if i’d listen to it more than once. husky steve is fine :)

it’s not really a hot take but young belting steve is still the best steve

I guess I never thought of him as having very distinctive vocal phrasing but the whole time I was realizing that he really does

*cough cough* Sam Cooke *cough*

the titular refrain is terrible, but otherwise this is about what I would expect a latter day Steve Perry song to sound like

pretty much

i think the love is more a delighted “oh hey it doesn’t suck”
