In just 5 years years time, these three members are all that's left of the band. After this tour is when the real friction begins resulting in their own destruction.
Neal Schon jamming in the bathroom before a show. Steve in the recording booth, and Jay just relaxing on a couch before a show. I've always wondered who the person is that's behind Neal in the bathroom.
We also get a full page shot of vocalist Steve Perry playing guitar. He's wearing that famous red shirt from the Departure era. That could even be Gregg Rolie's set-up behind him for all we know.
Great memories from the great "Escape" shows!
Continued next week...
In answer to your curiosity...I'm 90% certain that the person behind Neal in the restroom is Steve. This is a photo of Neal is (I think) from 1978, possibly 1979. Steve wore his shiny white shoes during those years even with his black pants, so I'm pretty sure that is him. Plus, you can see the top of his head in the mirror and I have a photo (albeit blurred) of Steve in that restroom wearing his black pants, vest and shiny white shoes, so I'm pretty confident it is Steve Perry.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think you're right, it is Steve!
