Steve Perry hasn`t been the front man for like 13 years now!!! So I wouldn`t fret over not seeing him.
Without doubt one of my all time favourite bands (with Steve Perry of course) Without him they`re just another rock band making a buck touring, sure the group are great musicians and really put on a show with all the classics, but without Perry as the vocalist they really lack something.
I was lucky to see them with Steve Perry in the 90`s and the power and feeling of his voice blew me away and according to people that saw the band in the 80`s he was even better then! I also saw them in 2006 with Jeff Soto as vocalist, basically he was the wrong type of vocalist for the group and even the drummer Dean Castronovo sung on a few of the songs and did a better job.
