There you are! Fidgeting in your seat, anxiously anticipating the sight of your favorite bunch of rockers - but wait a second! The lights are fading, the curtain's going up and there in the midst of already blazing guitars stands Journeyman Steve Perry, animatedly watching those "Lights" go out in your city!

Take A Rip Roarin' Rock 'N Roll Ride With Steve Perry And The Gang!

Journey's guitarists, lead Neal Schon (right) and bassist Ross Valory (left) stand on either side of Steve, coming together to share guitar licks or get into their very own battle of guitars!

Ross and Jonathan Cain whoop it up with a little back-up vocalizing, Though he's the newcomer to this red-hot band, Jonathan is a quadruple threat - he plays keyboards, guitar, sings and writes music!

Way in the back - though certainly not forgotten - sits drummer Steve Smith. Well you can almost call it sitting! Steve pounds those skins so hard and fast, he's generally decked out in shorts and a "T" so he can do his thing with no holds barred!

Mmm, mmm, mmm! When sexy Steve gets to singing about "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin," he's impossible to resist! You know for a fact he's singing right to you!

"Keep On Runnin'" sing those Journeymen in something that resembles a football huddle! Look at Jonathan go on guitar!

It's okay with Steve and it's okay with "J" (that's what the Journey guys call Jonathan!) - "Any Way You Want It" is the order of the day!

Is there anything more fun than watching Neal go to town on guitar and Jonathan on keyboards?! Those rockers work out and then send "Dead Or Alive" right up to the balconies!

Journey's secret is a combination of superb writing, singing and playing, and now you can hear it all come together in their heartfelt rendition of "Who's Crying Now." Steve's voice, Neal's guitar and J's piano all blend to make your heart melt!

With his hair tightly framing his face, Steve winds up this show with the message that has become synonymous with Journey. "Don't Stop Believin'" is the name of the game - a game they play for their one 'n only you!
