I was stationed on an aircraft carrier in the late 80's, and used to pull into Subic Bay, Philippines frequently. Used to go to this awesome rock bar called "California Jams" in Olongapo City. I was always amazed at the band how the singer could imitate ANYONE perfectly. That singer was Arnel Pineda, and his band was the regular house band at Cal Jams back then. Dude did GnR, Boston, Queen, Bad Co, you name it, he could sing it. I must have seen him a dozen times back then. I remember thinking... "This dude could come to America and kill it!"
If you can't have the man, then this guy is as good as you can get. What a superb piece of music and a superb singer. I would pay money to see these guys.
This band is right there with baseball,popcorn and apple pie,... The best! Arnel carries the torch for an iconic band,that had an iconic vocalist. They've remained Journey....I love the band...thanks for every single song!
My gosh, this live version is just amazing!!! I could listen to this over and over again. And, Arnel is 51? Didn't know that untill I scrolled through the comments. Man, he does not look it!
Hey I'm from Brazil, I get always amazed with the fact that arnel brought new fresh air to Journey, they simply got the best Singer they could ever find, he sings from his soul...he fits perfectly in Journey...

Arnel has a great voice and keeps Journey’s music alive. I would love to see Steve Perry sing live like he used to, but those days are behind us. Arnel does a fantastic job and it’s nice to see the band performing live together so many years later…how time flies!!
Be grateful if you are fan of Journey. All the people posting negative comments are living in the past. If you think Journey is going to sound like it's 1982 you're out of your mind. Even if it was the Escape line up performing, people age, people change and it's not going to be the same almost 40 years later! Listen to Steve Perry's solo album. While it is quite good, his voice could never handle any of these songs live. Be thankful Arnel is performing with them and you're still able to see Journey live. If not, go see Dean and Greg with Journey Through Time (Awesome too!). Either way, stop with the negativity and be grateful these guys are still making music and performing for you.
Also needing to be added is poor Arnels voice is worn from doing his job and trying to fulfill those Steve Perry tunes, and HIS ageing. Imagine what it did to Steve's voice! He hasn't lost his voice, but it has changed, but his talent for writing and delivery is what is loved. I love Hearing anything Journey, but it's Steve Perry's style that's the bomb!
The band insisting Arnel needs to sing the Journey material is also doing a number on Arnels voice. The wear on the cords is unmistakable, so the singer has to adapt. Or not sing those songs that made Journey. You know that won't happen. Well guess what, here comes another singer! Deen Castronovo.
@@laurielacomb2965 Deen filled in a lot when Steve Augeri started having problems. BTW, Deen's powerful drumming is sorely missed on the videos from the show.
Killer solo by Neal Schon. He said in an interview awhile back that he was all about speed when he played with Santana as a kid but he said Carlos Santana taught him how to say more with less notes. Schon can still shred but he can also do a tasteful, melodic solo as well. One of the best.
Two different players, Brian May sings with his guitar, which is is out of this world, and I think his my number one, but Neil Schindler and lukather are my favorites after May
This is Journey in 2017. I listen to the Band since the beginning. Times are changing. I love their music and songs and I'm happy that they make Concerts after all the time. If you want Perry back, than listen to the old Lp's and be happy. But I walk to the Concerts and listen to the Band live. And Arnel sounds great!
What a superb performance by Arnel Pineda and the band. Aside from his raw talent, as seen in his live performances before he joined Journey, he gained so much valuable experience as vocalist and frontman of Journey through the years. He does not need autotune or any artificial vocal enhancements to showcase his vocal prowess and versatility as a singer. He don't have to prove to anybody how talented he is. Despite the grueling touring, he still gave it all night after night. Arnel Pineda gave Journey this badass rock persona. Definitely he is the best vocalist and frontman of the rock band Journey!
I appreciate your opinion and I'm just seeing this in November of 2024 there will never be another Steve Perry I lived in California in the early eighties and let me tell you something they never disappointed
This such a well mixed lived recording, Arnel's vox and the instruments sound so warm for a live recording! Kudos to whoever mixed it! I just listened to the 80's original live recording, I think I like this better as a whole. The band sound so mature and everyone is so in the pocket and grove this night. Neil's guitar solo is so tasty! He is a much better guitar player than he was in the 80's and back then he was one of the best on the planet! As for Steve vs Arnel. Steve is the king, but Arnel holds his own very well! He does what he's paid to do which is to emulate Steve's original performance! You can't ask for more!
This concert is awesome and amazing! Arnel is Journey's asset! Yes he's aging and as he aged his voice is getting harsh but still he overpassed all vocalist of journey! 13 long years and still singing and having concerts up todate! Oh wow thats incredible!
From San Antonio Texas. I can’t remember if I have commented on these videos from Japan but I have watch this one a hundred times at least. It’s one of their best concerts and I love this song. Arnel just gets better.
Bands like Journey is what truly made up 80’s classic rock. You can say what you want but in my opinion, that was the golden age of music. Plus not just anybody could simply fill the shoes of Steve Perry and Arnel Pineda has done an excellent job carrying on carrying that role.
+10000000 I'd be the first to want Steve back, But it's 2019, and Arnel is kicking butt and singing these songs as good as Steve, problem is, he's not Steve. Arnel has a incredible voice and deserves everything that has come his way. It's only because of him we get to hear all our favorite Journey tunes today. Be thankful. I love them both!
You just can't go wrong with Schon, Valory and Smith man at the end of this one they are just on point with the jams. Seasoned pro's that play great off each other. Some of the bay areas finest for sure. Big ups to them to keep on rocking.
escuché que inician tour mundial el 2020, ojalá y ésta incluya Sudamérica y porsupuesto el Perú, pude verlos el 2011 que se presentaron en Lima y estuvo sensacional y sería estupendo que regresen por segunda vez, saludos y que así sea !!
I find it hilarious that people keep calling him the "new" singer and saying how young he is. He's been their singer since 2007, and he's 51 years old now.
@@nobleeffort2.4 Arnel is the longest Journey Frontman to last. He has been there continuously for more than 10 years. Steve didn't last that long continuously.
Since 2008 when arnel join to the band the whole member of the band look awesome and younger looks! The aura is great more energy in the face of each member of the band and look like everyone is happy with AP as a lead singer.
that's true!they felt that"they're like fathers having a NEWBORN SON" ARNEL IS THEIR NEW HOPE AND FORTUNE.that's why they've been happy having Arnel Pineda in the Band.
Everything about this video is on point. I even think it is one of the best, if not the best, live version of this song available. Arnel on one oh his peak performances
any one who says anything negative about Arnel is obviously not a musician, has never been a singer and has no ear for realising what a fantastic singer he is!
This song is from out of this world...this is the best version of this awesome song, so far. The performance of both Steve Smith on the drums and Neal Schon in the already impressive guitar solo on the original version, was nothing less than spectacular.
Earl Hayes live is always awesome for drummers because they can add extra fills same for everyone in the band if they so wish to add an interesting notes and solos
Earl Hayes It adds a really interesting change to the song. But i guess i still just like Castrinovo and the energy he had behind the kit. Only thing i wish Steve would change is his snare. Just wish it was a bit bigger with a bit more attack. But over all great twist on a solid part
I’m still trying to decide if it’s good or possibly too busy. The song is pretty straightforward and Steve Smith is pretty solid with songs like that. I’m surprised he did it.
Steve Perry is a very hard act to follow but personally I think Arnel does a great job.fair play,if I had a voice like that I’d be over the moon. Credit where Credit is due. Excellent performance by all involved,classic track,always will be.
Arnel has the sound, but he doesn't have the soul. Listening to this track immediately after listening to Steve Perry doing the same, Arnel just sounds hollow and superficial. He has an amazing voice, but he sure isn't Steve Perry. Nobody ever will be.
Arnel is fine wine, he was good on the 2009 Manila DVD but he's amazing on this show. Clean diction, sharp consonants, no more oversung vowels, he sounds like Steve Perry with a bit of Roy Khan's high rasp. And the other Journey guys knocking it out of the park.
When I was 12, I bought Escape with my newspaper delivery earnings and relished the new Journey sound with Steve Perry. I actually wore out my LP and had tore place it not long after purchase as I replayed and dissected this great record. Who's Crying Now is one of my favorite Journey songs as it showcases such great balanced musicianship as each member shines in their own melodic contributions. There are some songs you mistake for others and then there are songs, like this, that are unmistakably and timelessly unique.
Still one of the most incredible rock bands in history. Every instrument right on. I think this is one of their best performances ever. I'm glad they're finally in the Hall of Fame they deserve it!!!! Neal Schon makes that guitar sing!!!!
I have been a Journey/Neal Schon fan since the early 80's, have seen them in concert 9 times, have watched and listened to everything they have out and I absolutely can not get enough of Neal's solo on this one. WCN has always been my favorite Journey tune and his solos on it are always off the top, soulful, heartfelt, moving, and the sometime changes in the licks that he is capable of blending in and keeping the song fresh just blows me away. Ordered my self and my grand daughter ( named Jurni after the band ) each a set and cant wait to sit in front of my 70' tv with the surround blaring feeling I am once again in the front row. Keep doing what you do Neal YOU ARE JOURNEY
Great song! It is good to hear this song again with Arnel Pineda! Good to watch with people who enjoy playing and singing the music . I haven't listened to this since the 80s. Steve Perry said he has moved on from these songs! Love Steves new CD with Traces and Were Still Here. Glad there is no singer drama like in Van Halen. I seen a picture of Steve giving Arnel a hug - I think it was at the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
Dear god this song has the highest notes. Arnel Pineda will live in world music history as one of the best vocalist and frontman of one of the best and most admired band in the world. They all just keep on giving and that voice is eternally awesome. And it's 2020, sad early months with this coronavirus, listening to the band and Arnel sings takes your mind off from this virus crisis.
I LOVE this version of Mr. Shon's solo! I have played this over and over since discovering this video about a week ago because of the addictive solo. The new flourishes are so freaking cool and compliment the original so well. Neal has only gotten better with age. Not throwing shade at any other member, I just really groove to lead solos.
Its apples and oranges... PERRY brings me back to the time when all where young and JOURNEY was in their prime. PINEDA made it possible for people to remember how Journey use to be. He is an absolute pro.
This is the best version of this song and that includes the original! The band as a unit was at another level this night! Arnel was channeling his Steve Perry and Neil solo was the best that he has played on this tune. Whenever I listen to this tune this is the one I listen to now along with the original
to all the peole who always bash arnel this what you dont know about his voice. he can also sing air supply songs with their standard voice unlike pery he might not as good as pery but i believe he give life to a journey once again without him journey will only be a memories for a new generation so stop bullying the guy.
BEST OF THE BEST!!! TIMELESS AND EXCEPTIONAL!!!!! EXTREMELY AMAZING BAND...IM 30 YRS OLD BUT LOVING THE HELL OF THIS BAND...SENDING APPRECIATION FROM THE PHILIPPINES

That guitar sound is pure gold... Toto and Journey... The best
Toto n journey ❤❤❤
It really is
Damn that Guitar solo was freaking amazing
one of the best guitar solo of all time... amazing.
Neil is beastly, musicians know this.
Neal's a damn beast and underrated. watching his instagram videos rip all his monster guitar collection so satisfying
Yeah Neal Schon is quite underrated - because it's just another day at the office after 40 plus years haha.
fucking amazing... great band forever!
From 3:32 on is pure musical heaven...after playing this song for over 30 years.
If you can't have the man, then this guy is as good as you can get. What a superb piece of music and a superb singer.
I would pay money to see these guys.
Yes yes! I agree 👍😊
Arnel, the frontmen that carry on with Journey tradition with leaps and bounds into the new millinium. What a powerfull voice and personality.
Arnel isn't Steve but he revived Journey and that is a momentous accomplishment not to mention he has a beautiful voice as well.
I like arnel's voice than SP because Arnels voice is manly and raspy but SP is high pitch like a girl's voice .
Considering that Arne couldn’t speak a word of English when he joined the band I think he is incredible.
@@petersmith1398 No, he could speak English before joining the band
And Arnel is not Steve.
Indeed 😎✍🏼
This version showcases two things: how soulful Neal is on guitar and Steve's tasteful rhythm on the drums. Epic
also gotta give it up for arnel.
Steve Smith a master on the drums, and Neal’s guitar solo… just wow
This is why I consider Neal to be the king of Melodic Rock
This band is right there with baseball,popcorn and apple pie,...
The best!
Arnel carries the torch for an iconic band,that had an iconic vocalist.
They've remained Journey....I love the band...thanks for every single song!
V. O. O. 9. O. Oo poo op. P. O.
Ladies and Gentlemen in the year of our Lord 2022 … we are still in the presence of greatness… JOURNEY and ARNEL ARE NOT TO BE MESSED WITH …..
The solo is breath-taking
That was exactly what I was thinking :-)
Lol..Meh…kidding. Neil is amazing
My gosh, this live version is just amazing!!! I could listen to this over and over again.
And, Arnel is 51? Didn't know that untill I scrolled through the comments. Man, he does not look it!

It's so cool seeing Ross and Steve here. I know the lawsuits fly, but this is a time capsule gem.

Ordered my self and my grand daughter ( named Jurni after the band ) each a set and cant wait to sit in front of my 70' tv with the surround blaring feeling I am once again in the front row.
Keep doing what you do Neal YOU ARE JOURNEY
great bass playing and its sound.
the bass envelops the entire music.
Love this version, and yes, with Arnel
I'm Speachless!
What a song!
What a performance!
I Hope you may come back to México again!
Cheers!
Arnel, and the boys song and played that absolutely beautifully!! that’s one of the best versions I think I have ever heard!
Well done Arnel
Arn's vocal work is excellent. The song must have the "Steve Perry flavor" to work, and he makes it possible.
Proud to call Arnel as one of my people ! Wow I love this music !
He's 52 now,,but he looks only 30's😍😍
One of the best solos period, but one of the best solos in a ballad ever. Vocals, Arnel, as usual, on point.
I grow up in this Journey's tone of voice in my 80's is a trade mark. Just listening feels like I'm still in my teenage year's. All good. 🙂
Great song! It is good to hear this song again with Arnel Pineda! Good to watch with people who enjoy playing and singing the music . I haven't listened to this since the 80s. Steve Perry said he has moved on from these songs! Love Steves new CD with Traces and Were Still Here. Glad there is no singer drama like in Van Halen. I seen a picture of Steve giving Arnel a hug - I think it was at the Rock and Roll hall of fame.
Man, they sound so good here. Such a shame they had issues again. I love seeing Steve behind the kit.
Dear god this song has the highest notes. Arnel Pineda will live in world music history as one of the best vocalist and frontman of one of the best and most admired band in the world. They all just keep on giving and that voice is eternally awesome. And it's 2020, sad early months with this coronavirus, listening to the band and Arnel sings takes your mind off from this virus crisis.
It's a karaoke killer unless you drop down a few semitones. It's 2021, still listening to this to take the edge of this disaster.

I want to be in a journey concert I love them so much 😥😥😥❤
Love Steve Smith. Fantastic drummer.
and down to earth as well.
I LOVE this version of Mr. Shon's solo! I have played this over and over since discovering this video about a week ago because of the addictive solo. The new flourishes are so freaking cool and compliment the original so well. Neal has only gotten better with age. Not throwing shade at any other member, I just really groove to lead solos.
Same here bud that solo just gets better n better it's timeless
That guitar solo! Possessed by the spirit of music, melodius rock, and just soul.
So much of it! Better with age, and the original recording.
one of THE great musical guitar solos of all time, right up there with Comfortably Numb and the like
He’s not Steve Perry but he’s good enough to keep them alive!
Its apples and oranges... PERRY brings me back to the time when all where young and JOURNEY was in their prime. PINEDA made it possible for people to remember how Journey use to be. He is an absolute pro.
and Steve is no Arnel
He's pretty god damn close
@@AidanHeil of course..what's your point.
Arnel much better
Arnel still has the passion. What a great singer. Nobody can replace Steve Perry, but Arnel has made a good effort to sing Journey songs.
Arnel replace
This is the best version of this song and that includes the original! The band as a unit was at another level this night! Arnel was channeling his Steve Perry and Neil solo was the best that he has played on this tune. Whenever I listen to this tune this is the one I listen to now along with the original
Wow! What a lead Neil played on that. Very tasteful and that tone!
he is insane
Arnels voice has a special resonence and depth. He is more than a cover. He is JOURNEY 2.0.
Amazing voice. Take care and GOD BLESS YOU all always
That guitar solo was... utterly amazing to me
Wow they sound fenomenal!!!
That guitar is telling a story and I want to listen to it all 😍
Neal Schon's is simply amazing
Bro this guy truly loves to sing!! He's having the time of his life!! Amazing singer
Neil is still amazing! 🎸
That "wonder whos crying now" at 3:35 is majestic 🎉🎉🎉
to all the peole who always bash arnel this what you dont know about his voice. he can also sing air supply songs with their standard voice unlike pery he might not as good as pery but i believe he give life to a journey once again without him journey will only be a memories for a new generation so stop bullying the guy.
Dude, I've seen that you don't know anything about music, let alone Journey ... It doesn't even pay to write.
Damn i never thought this song would be sung any better. arnel put all the emotions . Best version there is.
3:33/ 6:53 untill the end 🎶🎶🎵🎸❗😱GUITAR SOLO FANTASTIC❗❗💯%👏👏👏👏
Fantastic job
I couldn’t agree more. He was on fire!!!!
Yep

And a poweful solo tooo......
