She has a nice voice and I like their own stuff, but no one can sing Separate Ways with the same somber-plaintive, yet soaring emotional intensity of Steve Perry. As transmitting feelings go, it's his strongest, most gripping vocal performance with Journey and that includes all their many ballads. It's like no one can do Go Your Own Way like Lindsey Buckingham either.

I've already singled out both Steve Perry and Lindsey Buckingham on posts here over the past few years. Both are untouchable, IMO. As for Eva Under Fire, it seems to me if they were really trying to showcase "Separate Ways" they would have put it on their new album. I think that song is just one of their crowd favorites, though.

Their album is called "Love, Drugs & Misery." It's a play on words for "sex, drugs and rock 'n roll." It's an attempt to present the viewpoint of the children who have had to take care of parents who may have taken the sex, drugs and rock 'n roll too far. But it's using the medium of rock music to try to make the point. Here is a video from the lead singer, which actually I just found moments ago.

Classy Iggy ...

Let's not obsess about the pitch perfection of the chorus.

This is from a few years ago, also great:

Stellar, yet natural performance (I've never seen before) and even in street clothes breaking a sweat without any lavish choreography Frau Nightingale had more sex appeal in her finger tips than today's stylized dance act females ever summon.

Ah, the guys with the child porn album cover and the gentle soul drummer!

Faithfull does Dylan. This is new to me, friend posted it on FB today. It's from a French movie released in English as The Girl On A Motorcycle (1968) costarring Alain Delon and Marianne. Looks as weird as you would expect a 1968 French movie to be. According to Wikipedia, it was the first film to get an X rating in the US.
