he's been doing this for a few years now, singing along with Don't Stop Believing during the 7th inning stretch. He said in an interview that getting into baseball, watching the Giants and the excitement made him want to get back into music. Would be a hell of a tour if Journey reunited but I don't know how strange it would be seeing a 65-66 year old man sing Open Arms.

Lights?

Lights?

That's the song about San Francisco Bay.... " when the lights go down... In the city... And the sun shines on the bay"

I didn't know they played that one

Even though this is about San Francisco, it was written in Los Angeles, where the band had relocated. Steve Perry explained in an interview with Joe Benson of Arrow 93.1 FM: "I had the song written in Los Angeles almost completely except for the bridge and it was written about Los Angeles. It was 'when the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on LA.' I didn't like the way it sounded at the time. And so I just had it sitting back in the corner. Then life changed my plans once again, and I was now facing joining Journey. I love San Francisco, the bay and the whole thing. 'The bay' fit so nice, 'When the lights go down in the city and the sun shines on the bay.' It was one of those early morning going across the bridge things when the sun was coming up and the lights were going down. It was perfect."

Interesting. Love these song facts / origins.
