Dead Or Alive Bass Tab by Journey

Dead Or Alive bass tab by Journey

Bass Tab

Just so everyone knows, i take absolutely NO credit for this tab. I cant find the name
the original guy who did this, but here you go.

Journey: Dead or Alive
Escape (CBS)
Copyright 1981 Weed
Perry, Schon, and Cain


One of the best bass performances ever, by one the best bassists ever. Ross Valory. I
him do this song live on this year’s tour, and he was on fire. Very hard to do, but very
sounding when it’s done right.
