      When I sang my niece to sleep, this song, along with 'Dance, magic, dance', 'Blue Shadows' and 'Simple Man', was on her playlist:
      until I realized, 'H'oh, shit...! (This song's about a prostitute!)'
      My older brother, when I shared this revelation, said, 'Yyyeah, we found that out, too, with our first kid.'
      'But it's such an uplifting melody!'
      'Right?'

      Those kind of live recordings aren't far off from a studio recording, just done in a single take :) All instruments are mic'd up, and these days also have DI signal taken. Same with vocals. Then it's all mastered in a studio. Do you think this sound is recorded by some microphone in a middle of a venue? Not how it works :)
      Anyway, not to take away from an amazing performance. Just a heads up on why some lives sound like ass, and some like studio recordings :)

    When he pulls his head to his right, he's making a physical adjustment to his vocal chords to sustain a high register. It's not a performance aspect, he's done it in the studio also. He's been singing since he was a kid in a choir in Hanford without any coaching. It's good to look at Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, and Steve Perry for epic rock vocals. They were the best in the biz.

      Completly agree. I do it myself sometime and it is a way to lock on to that long kept note. And I also think that many vocal analysts get lost in their theory. Many rock/soul singers don't arrange their singing with that much awareness as they do in much of musical or classical singing. You live the song and if you know your voice well it will do what you tell it to.

    And not to forget: he doesn’t just sing this fantastic song in the most incredible way - he co-wrote the song and created the melody and the whole vocal side of it. It’s not just a great technical performance. It’s an amazing creative feat. Pavarotti could sing, but he sang stuff others created.

    Well done review! I always liked him and a number of Journey songs but I wasn't a fan and didn't buy any of their records. Well that all changed when I happened to have the good fortune to see him perform live with Eels in L.A.'s Orpheum Theatre in 2014! He was amazing! I could kick myself that I didn't see his concerts years ago. It is so sad that even after the release of Traces last year he won't perform live. He has so much to give.
