Augeri does sound just like Perry. Saw him with Journey in concert a few years ago and was very impressed. So much so that I bought the new album, which sucked.

Maybe it depends on when you started listening to Van Halen, but Sammy (IMHO) was the man. Saw them in concert in 1992, and they were fantastic.
Dave always seemed a little prissy to me. Sammy was more like the regular guy you could imagine coming out of the audience to sing.

5150 was my 1st concert and it was great.
Sammy is phenomenal on stage.

I always preferred Journey with Steve Perry.
Helluva voice and range.

Have you heard them with Augeri? Seriously, it is difficult to tell the difference. The guy sounds just like Steve Perry.

"Generations" ?
If so, you gotta admit, the first TWO songs are without a doubt "Hard as nails" 
I did see Steve Augeri/Journey twice and once this past summer with the new Jeff Scott Soto (July 13th, Chastain Park, Atlanta Ga) At that time, Jeff Scott Soto was only supposed to be filling in because Steve Augeri had throat problems....................maybe he wasn't sucking hard enough 
What was interesting was that Journey was touring with Def Leapard. Chastain Park was sold out, packed to the gills, hot as hell and Journey came out first ! WTF ? They put on one of the best shows I've seen, and with a new "step in " front man. Once Journey left the stage, about a third of the crowd starting leaving the Park. Guess listening Joe Eliot wasn't their thing.

I saw Sammy sing with Ronnie Montrose circa 1983 I think. It must have been a special (guest appearance)deal because he had been broken up with Montrose for some years at that point. He was with the short lived H.S.A.S. if anyone remembers that band and it was Sammy's new thing at the time playing with Neil Schon. They opened up for Eddie Money who was a big deal at the time also. Sammy was amazing and played some great guitar too. Montrose and Schon were both in that same caliber that Eddie was in as far as guitar slinging goes, so Sammy was used to fronting and playing with a virtuoso way back then.
After all that, Eddie Money kind of sucked.

Sir,
the 5150 half-stack was my first professional amp...it was tube and solid state,with 6, count 'em, 6L6's, and brought a healuva presence. I played it though the Music-Man EVH, and it produced sound that was made in heaven...even though it was just me playing.
Ahhh, the good-ol days.
