He quits on stage during a concert and lets some other random fan from the crowd have the job.
In 1973 when The Who were playing a concert in San Francisco, Keith Moon kept passing out so Pete asked if there were any drummers in the audience who could finish the set with them. Thus, 19-year-old Scot Halpin got his 15 minutes of fame. Halpin died just last month. .

OK - I know where that is.
The company I work for has an office in Rehoboth Beach.

Yeah, I clicked the Don’t Stop Believin’ link. He matches Steve Perry pretty closely.

OMG!!!!!!! This guy is good (ditch the band, but keep the singer) we’re BIG Journey fans in this house.
I can see new CDs being bought with this guy singing.

I can’t imagine a situation where I would ever go see Journey, but now I am extra-super-double not going to go to a Journey Concert. Actually, they are a great live band, even if you don't like their hit singles - Neal Schon gets to play solos...a lot. ;)

That guy’s got a great voice...
Needs to work on the accent a little, and Steve Perry he’s not, but pretty darn close.

You poor baby. (pat pat pat) I hated to see Steve Perry leave Journey too, but at least the Moody Blues are still together.
(please God, let it be forever)

Okay, in all fairness, he’s okay. Personally, I thought he had trouble with the tempo just a bit. That said, I’d like to hear him on “City by the Bay,” or whatever that song is called.
I was told long ago that the bar districts in the Philipines are chock full of talented mimics. If that’s true, finding a Steve Perry sound-alike there is no big deal.

(you get that thing I sent ya?)
Original frontman Steve PerryGuess they never heard or saw Gregg Rolie.
In 1985 I Saw a Philippino band in Olongapo at the club US Festival on Magsaysay Drive. If you closed your eyes you would have thought Journey was performing. I saw and heard a lot of good musicians and singers in Po city that month.

Anyone see this guy on the pre-game show yesterday? I thought Journey was great and this guy was very likeable.
