Lo desde el alma ,q voz ,melodiosa te penetra en el alma ,q lastima q no se hace mas musica como esta ,ahora es todo basura ,sin contenido ,q suerte q lo vivi en esta epoca ,los 80 gracias Journey .
There was no auto adjusted music in the 70s & 80s, Just raw talent. The music today is over produced and never will be the talent we were privileged to listen to… today’s music sucks
One of the very few bands who's singer sounds exactly like his recordings - no make believe crap they do nowadays. Best voice I've ever heard in my life - yes, I said it. BEST.
I agree with you. Steve Perry has a phenomenal voice. I liked the song Oh Sherry by Steve Perry since my teens. It's one of my favorite songs. I just discovered in the past year and a half that Steve Perry was the lead singer of journey. Great man behind his great voice.
@@faeriehaus8835 They are not. You can't lie to me because 1. I was at this show backstage.. 2. My father was a roadie for Journey on this Tour. None of them used ear pieces. During this time, it was incredibly rare to use ear pieces anyway.
Steve Perry's voice is what happens when a gift from God is given to someone who puts in the work to nurture that gift. Naturally beautiful and technically brilliant singer
NewRetroWave, it's that feeling and emotion that Steve seems to be able to put into every song that he does. I think that I've heard the new guy once or twice, and yes he does sound very close to Steve, however he'll NEVER be able to duplicate that stage presence that Steve has. The way that he talks with the audience, his interaction with the band, and his emotion like he's still up and coming and singing the song to everyone for the very first time.
Listen kids: *THIS* is what *REAL* music sounds like. Not overly produced. No auto-tune. Just beautiful unadulterated vocals singing to real instruments played by true musicians.
being 25 born in 1999 i wish i wish it was the 80's music during this time was something and amazing the shit we got now it aint it now this stuff right here tho nothing but bangers during the 80's 💯💯🔥🔥
@@totallyraw1313 I'm not Frank,but my guess is the USA. Back in the 80's people didn't fight over politics , We all just lived our lives and tried to have fun.But now democrats want to push their views on everyone! Liberals in the 80's had their own views of life,but current liberals expect you to think like them or your racist or homophobic or what ever? I too miss the 80's when everyone got along
That ladies and gentlemen, is an example of a PERFECT live performance of a rock band. You can watch the video a trillion times and look for a flaw or a mistake, trust me, you wont find it.

@@ernestperkins3084 That's awesome. I feel bad I never got to see them live. Definitely in my top 10 of favorite bands. Rush being my #1 naturally...... If Steve Perry and Neil Schon ever got back together, I know the shows would be sell outs. It seems like the Steve might be coming around a bit when I see him in interviews. I guess I can still hope.
Yeah, it is pointless to argue who is the "best," because it's so subjective. But you are absolutely right that no one can sing better than this. It's brilliant.
I agree! One of my favorite s of Neil playing, I still get chills when I listen to the guitar playing in this song. I graduated 1982 and one of the best time for TRUE Live music. These songs are still played in my home 42 years later.
@@SKULLFREAK55 , I will agree he’s always in SP Shadow. But Neals far from a show off. He’s got a hell of a resume and list of people he’s played with before and during Journey.
That guitar solo. 🎸🔥🫡. I was born in 89. I hear music today and listen to music back then and there's no comparison. You HAD to have true talent back then. And this group was flawless.
I always loved the solo on the record, I didn't like much the part he ads here in the middle of the solo, it takes you away from the beauty of the melodic original solo...
God bless these guys. Always overlooked as a "chick/ Lifetime Network band". People who've never seen them live in their heyday have no clue about how heavy their music is live. Neal Schon, most underrated, overlooked guitar player ever.
Oh but they DID....the mgmt team are the ones who started the big screens, the techno-pyro whatever it was......the fireworks blasting out. Journey was the first band to start that, and then it became the thing to do at concerts......with everyone knocking on their door so they could do it too.
I know Steve's voice steals the show, but can we talk about Neal's absolutely perfect guitar tone and control? That was one of the greatest live solos I've ever heard! Not overly complex, but serves the song perfectly and is chock full of feeling.
I agree.As a matter of fact,Steve Perry was so damn good he managed to over shadow the rest of the band.Which is a pity because they were best live band of the early 80s.
The solo is brilliant , but I'm not so sure about the '' perfect tone '' bit . Since the latter does not really exist for me the nearest one can come is Santana's or Brian May's tone.
I'm sorry, but... How in the living FU*K is it possible to be so perfect without losing the emotion? Journey in 1981 is quite possibly the greatest band in history.
My favorite American group ever brings me back memories when I first got here from Cuba to freedom USA the best country in the entire universe I am very proud to be an American go Steve Perry and journey.
"The Voice". How does he hit the high notes so perfectly? No 'sliding into' them. Just BANG, and he nails it, every time! Yes, I'm still listening in 2024, and still getting chills.
“Who’s crying now” is essentially an incredible duet. Steve Perry had the musical insight to fight the record label to keep Neal Schon’s guitar solo in the song.
Hî one of greatest voîce BC n' AC. Any doubt.Besîdes nothing like music of those hectîc years. I love 80's decade untîl the day when a dîe.I have been lîstenîng recently. The best sountrack of whatever century.❤🎉😂
Besides Perry's incredible voice, let's give props to the piano guy for the soul grabbing melody, the crying guitar solo, and the drummer keeping it all in the pocket.
the funny thing is Steve Perry was the one who wrote the melody and rhythm for this song, and the keyboardist Johnathan Cain wrote the lyrics hahahahha
I agree, I am a voice teacher: Steve sings easily high pitched notes in sostenuto, brightness. I wonder how he would perform classical music, mainly baroque music
@@marciacastroalvarez4868 Which tenor sub-register you mean? The way he hits the high registrer is what makes him an exception among the majority pf rock tenors
I'm in my late 50's, and your comment made my eyes swell up! I f--king miss *the 70's and 80's* ( _MY teens & 20's!_ ) soooooooo bad!!!!!! :'( #Magical
Steve Perry is a "Legend". No one will ever match his ability to draw you in and actually feel the lyrics of a song like he did back then. He's still a powerhouse in my book. Love you Steve!
Even now his solo music " traces" ECT is great. Sure voice is little raspy..and I love it. Crying is one of my favorites and so much more. Been listening for 45 years . Journey in the 80's now just Steve. Then journey died when Steve left. He was journey!!
No gimmicks, no fancy stage setup. It's just these gentlemen with 100% passion and pure talent. Thank you for bringing so much joy in this 'Journey' called life. God bless.
Well, have you seen Frontiers and Beyond? They had a TON of "stuff." Like 10 semis. They got a chopper shot and each semi roof had a letter on the top. It read Journey Tour, 1981 Escape...
He is in that Lukather bracket near enough. Santana and early journey records are proof of that. And playing live as consistently on point as he has done for all these years. Man's underappreciated all in all for sure
@@JackMcLeodJr Neil was 17 when he was asked by Clapton to join Derek And The Dominoes but Carlos countered with an offer to join Santana. Think about how insane that is and think back, what were you doing at 17? When I was 17, Clapton and Santana weren't knocking at my door, that's for sure!
What does your race have to to do with this? Good music transcends everything. Too much reference to one’s race today. We are all one race, the human race.
Absolutely 100% true. Steve has a very rare Tenor altino voice. It's a rare form of countertenor. I knew he was rare before I found that out.;-) He's awesome and untouchable.
@@melissarom3880 I didnt know his precise tone, (thank you for that.) but I know he makes that band. lol no offense to the other guys, they are phenomenal. It's just his voice makes it complete.
@@michaelhubert5470 you're very welcome, & I agree with you. Journey is not Journey without Steve Perry IMO. Also thank's for responding. It allowed me to correct my typo of tenor altino not alteno LOL. Anyway, I also edited my above comment. I only tell people these things for Steve Perry's credit, not about my knowledge about him, it's about his extremely rare and AWESOME voice. I just like to let people know just how rare it is. He hits the highest note on the male register with his voice and it comes out smooth as silk. I love to hear him do Wheel in the Sky live, especially toward the end when he's singing right beside Neil playing the guitar. I only recently realized that it was Steve's voice and not the guitar. I think it's the one done in 1979. I love his four octaves five notes vocal range, singing with his chest voice and head voice. Wow!!! I'm sure you can see I'm crazy about the guy, but admittedly I loved his voice when he was with Journey the best. Btw, I'm sorry this is so long.
I would go back to the late 70’s and early 80’s in a heartbeat. Life was easy then. And the music was at its purist and best. Time machine anyone? I’m in.
Steve Perry has the range of a high tenor and solid alto and is considered a countertenor. He is a rare tenor altino, a rare form of countertenor, a voice that many consider incomparable. His voice is very recognizable and longtime friend of Perry's, Jon Bon Jovi, gave him the nickname, "The Voice."
I am nearly 60 years old and if the original band members would get back together for a final tour, I would definitely be there for it. They were a true super group. They will never be topped.
Saw them in 1978 at Oakland Coliseum in California along with AC/DC Cheap trick BOC and Nugent! I can still picture Steve Perry signing " LIGHTS_ .... Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High School California ( Metallica I went to school with James!) ✌️♥️🇺🇲
Unfortunately, hese days I don't think Steve Perry can sing these songs well enough to do them the proper justice they deserve. I am 1000% opened to being proven wrong, though!
@@thisisnotachannel we were all you and beautiful back then! ... here's some hope I saw Elton John and the Who just before the pandemic and they sounded right on the money! ✌️
I am, my kids don't know what real music is. I grew up on this music. Steve is back at 71 years old and sounds awesome. The words just flow out of his mouth. Every other singer looks like they are struggling when they sing. I want to go back 💙💙
I feel honored and blessed to have seen Journey live in concert. They were amazing and Steve Perry's voice live in concert just hits different. One of the greats.
In the man cave in thibodaux, Louisiana drinking bud lite sipping on Canadian Mist cooking shrimp and sausage jambalaya with potato salad, garlic bread, cucumber and tomato salad.....
It’s crazy how much knowledge about singing, breathing, etc you need to sound the same way live the way you sounded during the recording of the album. Steve is truly breathtaking to me!
@@davidarmitage289 Absolutely...so lucky. Stadium rock was changing the landscape...so many great bands were formed, great music was created, etc. For me, when they were in their prime, I'd stack Journey up against anyone.
A lot of the good music I thought lost forever lives on here on RUclips. Just that we are not the same. There is a fat man in the mirror every morning making faces at me when I shave.
@@MarttiSuomivuori Haha...no doubt! The ol' beltline is a little bigger than it used to be! I like to watch "reaction" videos when younger folks hear songs from my youth for the first time. One guy mentioned how RUclips is like a time machine, and that he can visit the past and get a sense of what life was like at that time. Very cool.

Hî one of greatest voîce BC n' AC. Any doubt.Besîdes nothing like music of those hectîc years. I love 80's decade untîl the day when a dîe.I have been lîstenîng recently. The best sountrack of whatever century.❤🎉😂
Journey es de lo mejor de los 80 .
Drums, guitar, piano, bass and super great vocals. I forgot how good they were!
Saw them 4 times when I was younger and they were fantastic live 👏
Dude I've never met a band that sounds exactly the same live as they do in an album like Journey can! They are absolutely stunning!
Dude I thought exactly the same.
Excactly.. Sometimes Eagles can
Eagles? Nah
That distinction goes to these guys, and Queen
Completely agree 👍
Wow your right. Escape tour was my first concert. They played with Foreigner. Epic.
Besides Perry's incredible voice, let's give props to the piano guy for the soul grabbing melody, the crying guitar solo, and the drummer keeping it all in the pocket.
The piano guy?? How about Jonathan Cain, Steve Smith, Ross Valory, and the GOAT Neil Schon.....JOURNEY
Empty pockets. ...all gone

THE Piano Guy!! Are you kidding me!! HIs Name Is JOHNATHAN CAIN!!!!!! NOT!!!! Some Piano Guy!! 😠
the funny thing is Steve Perry was the one who wrote the melody and rhythm for this song, and the keyboardist Johnathan Cain wrote the lyrics hahahahha
Steve is now aged 73, how time flies! A real vocal legend, if you know anything about singing.
I believe in 2023 he's now 74 years old. DOB Jan 22 1949, same age as one of my many sisters.
I agree, I am a voice teacher: Steve sings easily high pitched notes in sostenuto, brightness. I wonder how he would perform classical music, mainly baroque music
@@Ricardojoglar because Steve Perry has tenor's voice
@@marciacastroalvarez4868 Which tenor sub-register you mean? The way he hits the high registrer is what makes him an exception among the majority pf rock tenors
Dear God, now I feel old.
it is such a shame that new music isnt like this anymore....
Nobody, and I mean that, could ever compare to Steve Perry as vocalist! Just an amazing talent all around.
I agree!!! There is Noone on this earth that could ever sound as good and talented as Perry. Wish he was still with the band.
@Michael Smith Freddie had a wider range but no one could compare to the 2 vocalists
psy gangnam style
I agree
Elvis can/could
Journey reminds me of the best years of my life. The 80’s were amazing.
same here remember "Seasons in the son" in the 70's?
Agree++
Truth🎉❤🎉
They certainly were, if only.
My Sons ask me "Daddy what was it like to be there then....I just smile and answer...
"Magical"
it truly was!
Never got the honor to see them live. Sad that live performances like this will never be recreated.
I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS COMMENT A HEART. PERFECTLY SAID TO CHILD.
1st concert I ever went to, 1983, in Honolulu, Hawaii. I was 12, my Mother took me Journey rocked the house!!
I'm in my late 50's, and your comment made my eyes swell up!
I f--king miss *the 70's and 80's* ( _MY teens & 20's!_ ) soooooooo bad!!!!!! :'( #Magical
Perry and Journey were absolutely the best.
This was music! When people actually sang! Wow ! I love Steve Perry!
We thought this great music would never end
Steve Perry is a legend 🔥💕😉
@@katiebrown6578 yes he is! ❤❤❤❤
Yes!
@@katiebrown6578 in his own hand,,
July 2024. Steve Perry’s voice still sends chills up my spine.
Steve Perry is a "Legend". No one will ever match his ability to draw you in and actually feel the lyrics of a song like he did back then. He's still a powerhouse in my book. Love you Steve!
Even now his solo music " traces" ECT is great. Sure voice is little raspy..and I love it. Crying is one of my favorites and so much more. Been listening for 45 years . Journey in the 80's now just Steve. Then journey died when Steve left. He was journey!!
Steve, pure dynamite
To all the 80’s gen…..we didn’t know how good we had it until it was gone!!!
We did but they can't replicate or even come close today.
No gimmicks, no fancy stage setup. It's just these gentlemen with 100% passion and pure talent. Thank you for bringing so much joy in this 'Journey' called life. God bless.
Could not have said it any better!!!

Well, have you seen Frontiers and Beyond?
They had a TON of "stuff."
Like 10 semis.
They got a chopper shot and each semi roof had a letter on the top.
It read Journey Tour, 1981 Escape...
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823
Wow, Just what's needed - another Perry wannabe! Maybe he can replace Arnel - now that would be poetic justice!
Steve is still giving all of us his beautiful talent and voice even in 2022
Neal Schon is one the greatest guitarists of all time and is somehow still underrated. He absolutely kills it in this performance
He is in that Lukather bracket near enough. Santana and early journey records are proof of that. And playing live as consistently on point as he has done for all these years. Man's underappreciated all in all for sure
Truth
@@JackMcLeodJr Neil was 17 when he was asked by Clapton to join Derek And The Dominoes but Carlos countered with an offer to join Santana. Think about how insane that is and think back, what were you doing at 17? When I was 17, Clapton and Santana weren't knocking at my door, that's for sure!
@@if6was929 Yeah man much the same with Steve Vai being the protégé of Frank Zappa back then too
He used to be with Santana
38 year old black male. This group and Steve are amazing. Love their music
@CW King of TX doesn't matter.. move on tx
What does your race have to to do with this? Good music transcends everything. Too much reference to one’s race today. We are all one race, the human race.
Music knows no color
Good music has no color or sex or age boundaries! It can bring us all together. That's how it should be!
60 yo Japanese guy , saw this 3 times , kicked my ass every time !!!
His voice was amazing and that guitar was talking a language that nobody knows but yet everyone understands! Special talent right there!
A Neverending Journey ♾️❤
Perry is definitely in a class all of his own, he could sing the phone book and make it sound incredible.
AMEN!
THAT was FUNNY....but TRUE!!!! Best regards to you and STEVE!!!!.
Yes! True!
Still sounds good in 2024 just as it did in 1981
Pitch perfect. No crap auto-tune. No "special effects".
That is how it was done in the 80s
I agree journey with Steve Perry runs circles around Metallica. Metallica uses autotune they have been since 1999 while journey doesn't.
And you actually had to have talent to get a record deal. Journey was an amazing band.
@@loveja1 probably one of the hardest working bands of the 80's
@@paulvanaman4104 ever actually. 40 year career and at their age was amazing to say the least
Best vocals and one of the best guitar solos ever!! 10/17/24
I dont care who you are Steve Perry has a phenomenal voice. One of a kind.
Legendary
Absolutely 100% true. Steve has a very rare Tenor altino voice. It's a rare form of countertenor. I knew he was rare before I found that out.;-) He's awesome and untouchable.
@@melissarom3880 I didnt know his precise tone, (thank you for that.) but I know he makes that band. lol no offense to the other guys, they are phenomenal. It's just his voice makes it complete.
@@kimsteinke713 very true.
@@michaelhubert5470 you're very welcome, & I agree with you. Journey is not Journey without Steve Perry IMO. Also thank's for responding. It allowed me to correct my typo of tenor altino not alteno LOL. Anyway, I also edited my above comment. I only tell people these things for Steve Perry's credit, not about my knowledge about him, it's about his extremely rare and AWESOME voice. I just like to let people know just how rare it is. He hits the highest note on the male register with his voice and it comes out smooth as silk. I love to hear him do Wheel in the Sky live, especially toward the end when he's singing right beside Neil playing the guitar. I only recently realized that it was Steve's voice and not the guitar. I think it's the one done in 1979. I love his four octaves five notes vocal range, singing with his chest voice and head voice. Wow!!! I'm sure you can see I'm crazy about the guy, but admittedly I loved his voice when he was with Journey the best. Btw, I'm sorry this is so long.
I would go back to the late 70’s and early 80’s in a heartbeat. Life was easy then. And the music was at its purist and best. Time machine anyone? I’m in.
James Basinger Dude, yes! I WISH Steve Perry still performed with Journey! Would have loved to see them in concert!
I'll get some doritos :)
Yeah, I got one but you won't want to come back , I know, because I'm still there .
Count me in !!
I liked the head music also of the whole 70's too.
Steve Perry has the range of a high tenor and solid alto and is considered a countertenor. He is a rare tenor altino, a rare form of countertenor, a voice that many consider incomparable. His voice is very recognizable and longtime friend of Perry's, Jon Bon Jovi, gave him the nickname, "The Voice."
Yes, the golden voice.
JBJ wasn’t bad either! Probably could’ve given Steve a run for his money back in the day.
Ah yes but let's not forget FM.
@@slowmoe1964 Freddie Mercury was awesome too!
@@jakejennings5152 I was a fan of bon Jovi 80's stuff and there's no way he's anywhere near Perry's level not even close.
All you young people this is a Rockstar and the band.
When a live performance sounds better than the original,you know the band is really great.This performance is flawless.
That voice is once in a lifetime.
I am nearly 60 years old and if the original band members would get back together for a final tour, I would definitely be there for it. They were a true super group. They will never be topped.
Saw them in 1978 at Oakland Coliseum in California along with AC/DC Cheap trick BOC and Nugent! I can still picture Steve Perry signing " LIGHTS_ ....
Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High School California ( Metallica I went to school with James!) ✌️♥️🇺🇲
Unfortunately, hese days I don't think Steve Perry can sing these songs well enough to do them the proper justice they deserve.
I am 1000% opened to being proven wrong, though!
@@thisisnotachannel we were all you and beautiful back then! ... here's some hope I saw Elton John and the Who just before the pandemic and they sounded right on the money! ✌️
Me. I,m 62 th now..feom.Indonesia.

I cry every time Neal’s solo comes. He ate downnn!! 🔥
27 Yo. Born in '97. This was way beyond my time, and i felt every beat, note, and vocal. Today's music does not compare.
You're wise beyond your years young man.
That's great to hear. You know their might be hope for us yet.
@natehudson7419 there's more of us you know. Not all of us in our 20s, likes modern music. I used to love the Rat Pack for example when I was 14 lol.
Steve Perry...THE voice. enough said
Fred Mercury.....THEE voice of ages. Studied by science for over 30 yrs.
Ditto . Nothing follows .
Amazing Love Love Love.
He really was the best rock voice in the 80's. Such passion, vulnerability but strength.
Damn...great times in the 80's
No, Neal Schons guitar out shines Steve Perrys voice in my opinion. . .
Who’s listening now-2020! It’s better than chocolate, anytime, anywhere
I'm listening...
Steve Perry is so sexy!
readysetgo every morning on my way to work
I am, my kids don't know what real music is. I grew up on this music. Steve is back at 71 years old and sounds awesome. The words just flow out of his mouth. Every other singer looks like they are struggling when they sing. I want to go back 💙💙
You know it is ❣️ good old days when we knew how to Rock 👍🤪
I feel honored and blessed to have seen Journey live in concert. They were amazing and Steve Perry's voice live in concert just hits different. One of the greats.
steve perry the best singer of all time!!!
It's June 2024 listening now will never stop listening to this awesomeness
In the man cave in thibodaux, Louisiana drinking bud lite sipping on Canadian Mist cooking shrimp and sausage jambalaya with potato salad, garlic bread, cucumber and tomato salad.....
It’s crazy how much knowledge about singing, breathing, etc you need to sound the same way live the way you sounded during the recording of the album. Steve is truly breathtaking to me!
That's the thing that amazes me...the tech skill in singing. Blindingly good.
I miss the 80s, the best years of my life.
This happened 40 years ago tonight, right here in Houston. Where have the years gone? Where has the good music gone?
IKR? We lived through the best years of music ever….
@@davidarmitage289 Absolutely...so lucky. Stadium rock was changing the landscape...so many great bands were formed, great music was created, etc. For me, when they were in their prime, I'd stack Journey up against anyone.
You mean....you don't like rap...heaven forbid !!!
A lot of the good music I thought lost forever lives on here on RUclips.
Just that we are not the same. There is a fat man in the mirror every morning making faces at me when I shave.
@@MarttiSuomivuori Haha...no doubt! The ol' beltline is a little bigger than it used to be! I like to watch "reaction" videos when younger folks hear songs from my youth for the first time. One guy mentioned how RUclips is like a time machine, and that he can visit the past and get a sense of what life was like at that time. Very cool.
Still sounds better than any band today 40 years later
Absolutely!!
I am in accord
Hell yes. I would have given to lived in that era of music.
Never be another Steve Perry's Journey, definitely one of the greatest frontmen 👍❤️
THE BIG PUSH
When the live version sounds better than the recorded versions
The mark of true professionals.
Me too! I love this version and Neal's guitar solo.
It's Magical, and very few have I heard do it in many years of concert going, started in the 70s
yap
@@AmableSwebmedia Journey was always like that I first saw them 19 78 they were the undercards for ELO and they smoked ELO
Journey with Steve Perry=perfection
Steve Perry has the greatest male voice ever.
The voice! No autotune!
Stunning
Mercury was the greatest
I think there’s two .steve perry and Lou gramm.
Steve is up there. But Sam Cooke is the Greatest!
Jon Cain on keyboards, Ross Valory on bass Neal Schon on guitars, Steve Perry on vocals and Steve Smith on drums. Now that’s Journey..
Yes!!!❤
Have guitar with all the autographs
He playing that guitar
Steve Perry is amazing! The best vocalist ever.
his voice can not be replaced no one can
@@danielryan2853 well...it has, the new singer is actually amazing
No one can touch Greg Rollie
Absolutely best voice and strongest range ever!! Steve Perry is in a class of his own!
To bad Arnell made his voice out better. Shows are to dragged out with Neal Schon has to make everything a solo during concerts
This concert is for the history of music…
