Umm...they change the lyrics in every city they play the song. If you listed to their “Live in Houston” album, at the very time that album was in full force, Steve Perry sings “Born right here in Houston”.
Stupid article.
It says he was born in Hanford, CA.
Arnel Pineda was 14 when the song came out. Is anybody in the group now part of the original group?
And “South Detroit”? Sounds more like Bob Seger.
The guitarist and keyboardist are the same.
I’m surprised they didn’t change it to “just a city they/them”
A little off topic however, I saw a documentary about Journey......I had absolutely no idea steve perry was a lunatic jackass that got just about everybody connected with the band before he got there fired...even the original manager that basically built the group.
What a freakin’ devious Ahole. Unbelievable. SMH
“.they change the lyrics in every city they play the song.”
Good catch—I had noticed that as well years ago...
Doobie Brothers do that with “Black Water” with “Mississippi Moon” replaced with the city they’re in.
What do you mean he got them?
What’s an “nfl”?
No. I HATE that song!
Greg Rolle on keyboard? I saw Journey in 1979 in Phoenix,AZ. I was mostly watching Neal play his leads.
That’s a shame. He was a great fit for that time. Personally, I liked the era with him and Gregg Rolie doing vocals together. If you haven’t yet, you should check out the Neal Schon “Journey Through Time” video on YouTube. They play many of their old hits with Rolie singing some of them and Dean Castronovo singing the Perry vocals. Amazing live set.
Would be cool to see Rolie and Schon get back with Santana and do their early songs, they did reunite a few years ago.
Maybe they figured out there is no “south Detroit.”
He left in 1980, but it says Jonathan Cain was there since, for their peak popularity.
The 2005 Chicago White Sox had several players who like to play Journey songs. When the team began rolling through the postseason, Steve Perry of Journey began hanging with the team in the month of October.
Naturally, the Sox players liked “Don’t Stop Believing.” The team defeated the Houston Astros (then a National League team) in four straight to capture the World Series title for the first time since 1917.
Yes, he got them fired. Sorry for the type-o.
It was onan episode on the “Breaking the Band” series.
Season 2 episode 9
Well, Neal Schon was still there. I don’t know if I’d believe it one way or the other. The remaining two are now feuding.
