Journey's Steve Perry with EELS edited performances videos

After Steve Perry's 1994-1995 solo Tour we hardly heard from him at all. In 1996 He recorded another album with Journey, "Trial By Fire". After that he seems to have just disappeared. He showed up at a couple places here and there. I can positively say that one day in 2007 he was at the Warner Bros. Studios Ranch Facilities on the couch in my editing room.

All of a sudden out of nowhere on May 25, 2014, after almost 20 years, Steve Perry took the stage again. This was in St. Paul, Minnesota at the end of the encore at an EELS concert. He sang the EELS song "It's a Motherf*cker", "Open Arms", and "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'!


Six days later Steve did it again in Washington D.C. at the Lincoln Theatre where he was a bit more comfortable. He sang the EELS song "It's a Motherf*cker", "Only Sixteen", "Open Arms", and "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'!


The Los Angeles Orpheum Theater was the last time Steve Perry has taken the stage on June 11, 2014 where he sings an extra song. He sang the EELS song "It's a Motherf*cker", "Only Sixteen", "Open Arms",  "Lights" and "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'!


Here, I've edited some the footage from the cellphones from some of the people who were at the concert and were able to capture the events on video. I've cobbled together the best angle at any given time for all three shows from the amateur photographers. The audio is also sourced from the phones, so the quality is limited as such.
