Video

The music video features the band playing in what appears to be an empty recording studio. The video, directed by Wayne Isham,[2] was shot inside the (film) Scoring Stage at George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch in Marin County, CA.[citation needed] This was one of the last performances with Steve Perry as vocalist. In the video, Neal Schon plays a white Tom Anderson guitar.
