Steve would be proud!

I reluctantly bought this CD because I am a huge Steve Clark fan and it was done after his death.  I figured it couldn't have been any good if Steve wasn't involved.  I couldn't have been more wrong.  First of all, the Leps dedicated the CD to Steve, along with the song White Lightning, and (best of all!), most of the tunes were co-written by Steve.  The music is pure Hysteria Leppard with a couple of notable exceptions that sound as if they could have been done in their Pyromania days ("Tear It Down," especially). There are also a couple of stinkers, too ("Let's Get Rocked," anyone? But then again Steve didn't co-write that one!) Phil did a phenomenal job interpreting Steve's guitar parts...not necessarily the same, but still impressive.  There will never be another Steve, and in my opinion, Steve's spirit lives on happily in this CD.

Simply outstanding! Steve has managed to keep the magic alive. He must tour places like New Zealand with the Genesis revisited music. So many of the band fans live here that he would be a total success!

I love Steve Harvey because he keeps it real. His book is exactly his him in person telling you like it is. One thing that stands out...you do not need no training...you do not need anything else. The gift is inside of us all. Be confident and embrace your gift. This is a statement that definitely hit home. Well done Steve...but I am sure you knew that already

I have been a SP fan for 28 years and absolutely love this CD. It has such a variety of musical scale, that it has something for everyone. Of course there are the radio hits, "Oh Sherrie, Foolish Heart, & She's Mine, but some of the never released songs from "Against The Wall" are really great too. It's dissapointing that it wasn't released in it's conception, but...like Steve says..."Better Late Than Never"! I couldn't agree more. I also love "It Won't Be You". That is just a masterpiece all the way around. Overall, if you enjoy Steve Perry, you will love this CD. You won't be disappointed.

It's a shame that such a golden gift was placed on the shelf prematurely, but I guess he chose to go out in style and sounding really great. Thank You Steve for putting this together and giving us a piece of your heart and gorgeous voice to have for many years to come. You are so very missed my dear! God Bless you, where ever you are!

I'm a repeat customer of Steve's writing, I purchased his first book "A Clydesdale's Tale" and saved a ton on my psychiatrist's visits thanks to Steve's brand of laugh therapy. This book's no different; Steve bravely accepts the challenge thrown down by a fellow runner of completing an ultra each month for a year, and sails through it all without messing up an awesome hairdo. If you're a runner too, you'll also appreciate how the sport nurtures our family life and makes us into better and stronger people, as evidenced by what Steve shares with us in the last few pages of this volume. Thanks again, Steve, keep up the good fight. Matt. mjspain5@hotmail.com

Ever since I read chapter 1, I can't wait to receive my book. The artwork on the cover is great and very fitting. I can't wait to see what Steve has in mind for the second book! At this price, you would be nuts not to buy it for yourself and your friends.

We love Steve's CD's!

This is our favorite, but they are all good.

A very talented guy. Nice guitar based stuff.

We catch ourselves singing along with the kids.

Give it a try.

This is from an "old music fan".  I had contact with Steve many times in the very early 70's.  I contracted several times with Steve and his band to play dance gigs at the old VFW hall in Stillwater, OK.  Steve's group never missed a gig, never disappointed the veterinary students I represented, and was always happy to oblige any request. I didn't follow his success with the Tractors but I knew he was still "messing around" with music.  This album shows his dedication and to the profession, and the hard work has really paid off.  I also appreciated his references to his roots as well.  I knew some of the folks he mentioned in the jacket.  And I worked with his dad and brother on occasion.  I know I ramble, but this background helps me appreciate the feelings this music expressed.  I'm very glad to have found this young man again.  Thanks Steve!

I have given this review some deep thought. Yes, I know Steve. And as many people do, they tend to give 5-star reviews to their friend's book (especially after having been asked for a review). However, Steve hasn't asked for a review, nor did he ask me to read his book.

This book caused me pause, in many ways. A few things he said cut down to the quick. The power of words, the injury of sarcasm, the tenderness of a child's heart... So much good truth came from this book. His GI Joe story, wow, I'll be repeating that one. And some churchy church guys sniffed his gatorade checking for alcohol? Lord help mercy. I'll remember the bit about the grape juice. I heard that one too. I always wondered why we were following anyone's mannerisms other than Jesus. Enough of my commentary, though.

 As far as the book, he lays it all out for God and everybody to see. His hurts, his mistakes, the tender healing, the funny encounters and the times when God reached down and said, "Here. This one's just for you!" as in meeting Ken & Carolyn (yes, they're that wonderful and I smiled the whole time I read that part. If only we all had had a couple like them to speak raw love into our lives 24/7.)

If you know Steve, yes, you'll enjoy this book. If you don't know Steve, yes, you'll enjoy this book. If you have known shame, you will recognize your life in this story and with God's help, feel you are walking hand in hand to truth and freedom. And it's a safe place to go when Steve is guiding the way.

Personal testimonies can sometimes sound self-serving and even uncover and dishonor those who hurt us but not this book. Steve walked in honor and humbleness with every word he shared. Congrats on a great book and I very much recommend it as an enjoyable, well-written and heart-affecting read.

When I got this CD I couldn't imagine it being as good as it was but SP sings like no one else around.  I had it playing in my car and it just sounds better each time I listen to it.  I'm a super "Journey" fan mostly because of Steve Perry but he can hold his own like this CD demonstrates, the man just has some great chops.  Especially the songs: Go Away, She's Mine, Captured by the Moment, My..My...My and of course Don't Tell Me Why You're Leaving are really great tunes.  A true fan would love this CD, great music and terrific singing by "The Voice".  Love me some Steve Perry, probably because I'm a female but no matter how old he is he still looks like a HOT POTATO-yum!!

I was so excited when Steve Perry announced that he and John Kalonder were working on a DVD of Journey video's. The first day it was released I ran to my local Border's store where they only had three left on the shelf.
The first thing that struck me immediately was how ALL of the band members between 1978 & 1997--the dates clearly shown on the cover--were awknowledged. I thought that was very nice to recognize everyone who played in Journey during those years.
Playing the DVD I was amazed at the video and sound production....the video is crystal clear digitally remastered and the sound is amazing!!
The mix of videos is really good....going back and forth between the live performances where Journey really shined to the glory days of MTV.....some of you might remember those days....that's when MTV actually showed MUSIC VIDEOS!!!
The songs are the soundtracks to our lives. "Don't Stop Believing," "Open Arms," "Wheel in the Sky..." all the greats are here.
And the there is the last video they did togather...their only Grammy nomination...the beautiful "When You Love a Woman..."
I almost want to cry everytime I see it.
I noticed some reviews questioning  why certain performances weren't included and I would remind them that there is another DVD in the works! If anything this video left me waiting for more!!
Some have commented on being dissappointed that material prior to Steve Perry's arrival wasn't included on here. I'd remind them that the dvd specifies the years that Perry was in the band. I also have no interest in the band prior to those years and wouldn't care to see any of that work included. They were just a jam band before he arrived....he's the one who put them on the map and made Journey a household name.
While I wish the current incarnation of Journey all the luck in the world (they certainly need it with the rodeo's they've been playing lately) the fact remains that when Journey lost Steve Perry they lost their voice. He was THE VOICE and always will be.
For us Steve Perry fans this video is essential. And despite the little promotion for this DVD it still went PLATNUM within a matter of months....a clear sign how much Steve Perry and his voice are missed.
BUY THIS DVD! I gurantee you won't be dissappointed....Don't Stop Believing....

Ohhhmygawwwwddddd! Steven spreads fabulosity through out his book! The humor and insightful observations (such a much nicer term than critisism) of the egos of red carpet walkers are as perfect as his precisely highlighted hair and flourescent white toothy grin!
Self deprication is part of his charm and his oh-so-true observations of celebs are priceless and worth the price of the book (which is far cheaper on Amazon.com than in stores). He recounts how Madonna snubbed him on a red carpet! How dare?! Any celeb, (only actresses please) should stop, twuuurl and schmooz with Steven if they or their publicists are smart -- hey even you Madonna!
I was a Hollywood publicist for many years and if I was still in L.A. I would make sure that my "peoples" would wear something fabulous and stop and tauwlk' to this Fabulista Fashionista!!!!!!
Buy this book!!!!!

A wonderful book by Steve Kelly!  My newphew bought this for my Dad (who served on the USS Boston) for Christmas and what a surprise when looking at the photos and seeing a photo of my Dad in it!  It was the first book that we have ever found on the USS Boston and truly enjoyed it.

Another great release from Steve Green, no surprise there! Steve embraces a more poppy style in this album, but worry not! Steve can sing basically any style he wants and it still sounds fantastic! My favorite on this album is "Kings Shall Bow." Very powerful song with an even stronger message. And who better to sing it than Steve??
