- Include the song title in your introduction text so others can see it
- One song per person on Day 1; unlimited on Day 2
- To prevent browsers crashing from loading too many videos, please paste the URL as part of your last line (not a new line) – (I do not mind unembedding, so no apologies are necessary)

Can you believe how shocked I was not long ago when I saw that someone beat you out as the first submitter … and Marc was the one! I’m still a bit stunned. Meanwhile, a power ballad on the playlist so early .. and that’s OK. An interesting waltz … a bit too fast for a standard ballroom waltz, yet a tad slow for a Viennese … but it would still work!

Hola Frank. Hope you are well my friend. Journey had plenty of good songs back in the day. So it wasn’t easy choice for me. My selection? From their 1983 album Frontiers, I picked the song Faithfully. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMD8hBsA-RI
Also have a suggestion. Don’t know if you ever did this type of concert series before, but it may be worth a try. A concert series of questions? Songs with who, where, what. when, why, (and in some cases if and did) in the title. It may be fun.
Have a great weekend.

Ah yes … another one from the Power Ballad Era. Great song that reminds me of REO Speedwagon. Nonetheless, a great song!
Good question. That would fall outside the boundaries of the Weekend Concert Series. However, it would unquestionably qualify as a blog musical with each act focusing on a specific word. I can see it now – Questions: The Musical (featuring who, what, when, where, how, and why).

Hello Frank! Your opening song is a Journey song I know, and I quite like it.
I like watching those Rock’n’Roll Hall Of Fame shows, and I did see the one when Journey was inducted. I couldn’t help but notice Steve Perry was there, on the stage. However, he did not perform. Someone, his replacement in the band (I believe) did the vocals for him. Do you know why? I’ve searched around, but am unsatisfied with answers.
OH, whew, It is a capital T.

Resa,
Glad you enjoyed the opener. Plus, I imagine you know more Journey songs than you realize.
I believe Steve Perry left the band on his own to seek a solo career. The band wanted to stay together. I heard the story how the band was blown away by how much the replacement sounds like Perry. I saw them in concert, and yes – amazingly so.
As for why wasn’t Perry on stage at the induction, I don’t know – but imagine it goes back to the breakup.
