“I love that song,” Perry told the crowd. “When I first met (Everett, the Eels’ lead singer) I said someday I wanted to sing that song. And tonight is the first time I've ever sang it."
He also performed Journey songs "Open Arms" and "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin’.”

Perry’s last performance with Journey was in 1991 and his last solo appearance was in 1995, promoting his solo album “For the Love of Strange Medicine.”
Health problems, including arthritis, hip replacement surgery, and two melanoma removal surgeries contributed to
Perry’s absence from the stage, according to Us Weekly.
AWOL Nation frontman Aaron Bruno
told Rolling Stone last year that Perry was working with the band on a new record.
