First Ever Performance of Separate Ways

“We just wrote this song about two weeks ago. Would you like to hear something brand new?”, Steve Perry asks the crowd.

That “something brand new” – Separate Ways – had not yet been recorded and would go on to become a classic among classics. In the area of critical commentary, it’s fascinating to hear the different vocal choices that Perry made for the album version. But hearing what is basically a draft of an epic song is, well, epic.

Enjoy.
