Here's my attempt at one of my favorite arena rock ballads (I'm a sucker for these types of songs!)  I've been working on singing "lighter" up high, which was really hard at first, as I normally belt out high notes.  This one took a while to settle in my voice and I'm still working on it.  This song also gave me the opportunity to work out some more of Neal Schon's unique blues licks, which are a lot of fun to play.  Any comments good or bad will be appreciated.

I thought it was so cool when I saw the title, and I know you've done some killer Journey tunes in the past. 
 
Impressive... I would EQ that piano a little brighter? The guitars sound great. The vocals are amazing. But I checked and I was listening to the low-fi version, the high fi version seemed to have a brighter piano? And seemed to fit perfectly.
 
Amazing performances and recording, truly amazing. Steve Perry is "no joke..." So to cover one of his so "faithfully" is really impressive.

very nice song for a Sunday morning.....
 
well done.

Robby - Thank you.  Funny thing about that piano is that originally I copied the piano tracks by way of track templates and the original piano wasn't bright at all.  Come to find out that there is a bug in X2 with track templates.  Not only did it not load the correct True Piano preset (which was bright) but it flat lined the EQ settings (which were also brighter).  So I fixed it and the piano sounded better.
 
Herb - glad you enjoyed it.  thanks for commenting.

Great vocals! I feel we're having an eightys moment together! Hahaha. I sometimes miss the big lush reverbs of the 80's. I've been really loving ValhallaVintageVerb for getting those. Your guitar really captures that Neil Schon ( Spelled wrong?) tone very well. How did you record that? Great job!

Very nice work Geno! Like your guitar tone a lot, and awesome job on the vocals. You have a great voice! I thought the delay mix on the lead guitar was just a touch heavy during the verses(just my opinion), but not distracting or anything. Overall I think you nailed it! Great mix! Now, I have to go check out more of your songs! Well done!

Absolutely Killer Diller.  Fab playing and singing. 

Geno, Very nicely done cover and you did a great job on this all the way around, especially on the vocals. Wish I could sing!! Very, very nice sound and a great mix and production.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

I must admit that I am no big lover of rock balled...but...you did great! well sung, cool guitar sound, all in all sounding very pro. what drum sampler did you use?

Hi Geno, excellent as always.
