I'm the same age as Steve. I must admit I was not a Journey fan back in the day. I have fallen in love with him just recently and I have watched many concerts. This was amazing! His voice was amazing! In my 75 years, I've never heard anyone do what Steve does with his voice. I'm so glad that I got to know Steve Perry!
I'm a 49 year old man and I am not ashamed to say hearing his voice again brought tears to my eyes.
awwwwww :)
I’m 79 years old, n still, in all my years, Steve Perry is the best singer ever!! His voice and delivery is captivating!! I went to a concert to see Journey w my 18 year old daughter, n that was the beginning of my admiration for him!! His CD from back then is played constantly in my car!!! He will live on forever!!! There’s only one Steve Perry!!👍❤️❤️
It's been 10 years since your post are you still listening to Steve Perry in 2024?
What a treasured memory that concert must have made!
Am so jealous these people got a surprise of a lifetime to enjoy seeing Steve Perry perform again
OMG....My tears of joy hearing this cannot stop flowing. To see Steve bouncing around stage just enjoying himself is just amazing. He is the sound track of my life.
Steve Perry will always be " The Voice" nobody even compares to his vocal capabilities...It's so unique that only Steve Perry can lock that sound down as his own...There will never be a voice so "Awesome" in this lifetime...
Glenn Odle totally agree!no one better than Steve Perry 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 so hoping to see him again when Journey induction in the Rock N Roll hall ceremony in April ...
That's GREAT!!! So hoping and wishing it to be so... I Love this man ..I could listen to him forever.. I've been trying to find any news on it.. I'll be so so happy tho when I hear him say it.. I know he wouldn't ever want to let the fans down.. he's always seemed like such an Awesome guy as well as the greatest voice of all time.. Steve always sang from the heart and soul of the music.. And in that touched our souls forever...💜✌ Fingers Crossed 👍👍👍
deborah brzowski I love him way more than you....
Glenn Odle I sure hope your bird is right!!! I wish we could know for sure.... I don't have money to spend on a chance he'll be there. I will just purchase HBO for April and hope to see him there!!!! Waiting Patiently for his new album..... Love you Steve
Glenn Odle hello sir how have you been?
He still sounds amazing after all these years ❤
I have seen this before, I don't think they realize that the one he dedicated. this song and loved very much was extremely ill and had died . He sang that song with such powerful emotions an d so beautifully to her, I can't help think she heard him singing it in heaven. wow, Steve Perry did an amazing job, how lucky this audience is to be there and having Him sing to them. Steve Perry still the best singer ever!!!
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Such a beautiful song and Steve sings it so good
Its not the one......she came much later! Not when he was 17
-its in the description...-
@jerrywilliamson8372
-he said : 17- !
It’s amazing how he sings Open Arms and any of his songs without any effort at all. His voice just comes out naturally.
This man is a living legend! One of, if not the best, most versatile singers in the world! His voice was put through an ungodly amount of stress from years of touring (luckily he had the will power of self-preservation, or he may not be here today), is damn-near 70 years old AND can still serve that magical voice! I've loved his musical abilities for 2/3 of my life and, believe me, I'd do anything within my means to go see him sing today. Hard as it may be to accept, 30+ years have passed since he hit those "reach for the heavens" high notes. I don't expect it from him and neither should anyone else, for if Steve Perry can't match Steve Perry nobody can.
Suze Yancy I agree with you.He is the best!
Agree Boss, some don't Realize what it takes to be the Best..
Very well said!!
To Steve Perry oh my god really really missed you I always watched your Journey concert before never missed one. I hope one day I ll meet you.Love
Still got the voice Steve.
Greatest. Male. Vocalist. of all time. I grew up on all of his music and his voice is the soundtrack of my entire life.
How nearsighted
I have missed Steve Perry for years i wish he would rejoin the band and do a few concerts
At 68 Steve doesn't need to scream and go high notes,he sounds just fine at a low and mellow range. Steve has had a lot of heartache and pain a few years ago(sickness,death). Give him a break for just being up there in public again. Luv u steve
Steve Perry is a amazing singer! Incredible! The voice!
He's been very lucky xx
I think he sounds awesome. Haters, just shut the hell up! He is one of a kind and still has a great range and tone to his voice. Please release a new recording Steve!
I imagine everyone in that audience that night silently praying "don't go away again" 😢😢😢
If I was in the audience I will be crying like a baby!! Love this man!
My Mom Would Have Lost It! She Loves Him!!!!!!
I love Steve. Still has the voice. His cd Traces is awesome. A fan forever.
I was in the audience that evening and I cried like a baby!!
Steve Perry was W O N D E R F U L SINGING L I V E!!
@@Gupper2012 Did you know that he was going to be there that night? I would have given anything to see this man. I love him soooo much 🥰😘💋💋❤️🔥💯🔥🌹🌹🎶🎼🎤🙏🙏
They absolutely know that they are watching history. That is why they are paying full attention and standing up OUT of their seats and not being DISTRACTED by screaming and making noise. They definitely not only applauded but gave him a STANDING OVATION throughout the performance. And I might add...he did almost an entire set.
TO STEVE PERRY: I hope you read this. You brought tears to my eyes, a lump in my throat and goose bumps on my arms watching you perform again.I'm 61 years old and don't have much time left on the earth. I am only one human being on this planet that has been fortunate enough to be born in the right time and era, to actually grow and follow, or in better words; journey with you and "JOURNEY." You have no idea what an inspiration and difference you have made in my life. I started drumming when I was 5. Started singing lessons in Jr. High.My goal was to be a rock & roll drummer. There was no era better than the 80's. I've followed your concerts every where I could possibly be. Anybody in this town of Twin Falls knows how dedicated I am to your music. My license plates even say Journey. I have emphysema now,can't sing anymore. Every year bands from all over play at a festival here.One band dedicated a "JOURNEY" song TO ME when they found out. I can drum to ALL or your songs( lick per lick), and have performed many on stage also. I know all the lyrics to your music. I love to sing, but wasn't stupid enough to think I could ever pass my voice off as you.Fact is NOBODY can,many try and come close but no cigar. At least they keep the band "JOURNEY" touring so many others can still enjoy and remember the wonderful songs written.When one persons music can reach another in such a way, it is truly A GIFT. Please Steve; I'm sure you've thought about not performing again.What ever the reason being, voice, age, time, critics,etc.Piss on it. We are all human, it's a part of growing old.Take it from me. When music is your whole life and your FORCED to stop by something physically. It sucks. So be reminded that a 61 year old dying man with emphysema once asked you from the bottom of his heart: WOULD YOU TO PLEASE PLAY FOR ME ONE LAST TIME STEVE ? hope your response would be, "AS LONG IS THERE IS ONE PERSON OUT THERE THAT WANTS TO SEE ME PERFORM I WILL" Thank You !
Lonnie Tamme yeah Steve.... no pressure lol. just love! I'm crying just the thought of you singin again.Please!!!!!!!!! one song soon. something!
Lonnie Tamme I will be waiting for you...you and I have been lucky...we lived! So we will end...I will meet you on the othrr side.
Susan Black Is Lonnie dead?
😔😚
Your story made me cry...i hope you are still around, because Steve Perry has a new album coming out soon. You can hear him one last time.
This man would pack every venue with faithful fans who, like me, would crawl across hot coals on their knees even if it was to hear him sing the alphabet, backwards and in Portuguese...because he is so crazy talented! It's not just that we love his voice, we love how hearing it makes our hearts love deeper and our sorrows feel sweeter...Seeing him last night at the HOF induction made me smile...I wish him joy and peace whether he sings another note publicly or not. God bless Steve!💜
Would give my last pennies to see him sing live again .
Same. I just said he’s one of the few voices I grew up and learned to sing from. Many of those greats died long ago and what a dream it would be to sing with him. If I could be so stingy to spend a day on a stage like he’s doing here and just sing with him, I really may die happy.
I'm sitting here typing through tears.... it is SUCH a JOY to hear this precious man sing once again! I'll bet this living legend doesn't even know how much he has been sorely missed. No one ...I mean NO one does Steve Perry better than... Steve Perry. God Bless you Stevie...come on back, I promise you'll be met with Open Arms xoxo
MizKitty1122 same here.. Wow no one better than Steve Perry... he's still got the magic!
Dear God I feel the exact same way!!!!!Steve Perry, my love FOREVER and so very prescious!!
For the last week I have been OBSESSED with Steve Perry! All because my best friend from high school (we graduated in 1984) commented on a post I shared on FB about turning into a “small town girl” every time Journey comes on the radio no matter who u are! I have looked up any and all things Steve Perry and have stayed up til all hours of the morning watching interviews and listening to music. There is absolutely no other voice like Steve. Like you I am typing through tears after watching this show. I would LOVE to see him do a show! His voice brings such joy and so many memories to mind. He is truly loved and missed.
I would hope no one does Steve Perry better than Steve Perry. I would have to say that would be true with anyone?
@@jamieunderwood4089 I have been doing the same thing it's August of 2020 I can't stop thinking about Steve Perry. I to have become obsessed with him. I've spent a small fortune going back to buy everything he has recorded . from solo to when he was with journey. I'd give anything to meet this man. I feel like taking a plane to California to try to find him so I could meet him before I leave this world. I just love this man. If I had a chance meet any body in this world I would choose to meet him. A fan until the end 2020 in Cleveland Ohio.
The longer he stays on stage, the more comfortable he gets. .. miss him, miss Journey.
Just found this in 2024. So wish i could have been there. On Lovin, touching, squeezing he still held that last note at the end of the song for sooooo long. Flipping Steve's amazing.
THANK YOU Ron for this video. Best video of Steve come back. My heart cried seeing him perform. He is still the best then and now. He is not forgotten ever. All who went to his show is by far very lucky cherish the moment from this icon of music. You all are lucky. We love you Steve.
He's still got that precise vocal control, range, and vibrato! :D Amazing for a singer in his late 60's! :D
So happy he's back, he's been so very missed. No one can evoke emotions when they sing like Steve can. Traces is a broken heart exposed and it's beautiful in all it's sorrow. 💜
If it weren't for this man who I know I would not have my child back in my arms Steve have me the courage that I so needed.
Does that crowd even realize how big of a deal this is watching him perform? It doesnt seem like it. This is incredible to hear him sing after basically disappearing from music for so long
I WHOLE HEARTEDLY AGREE!! I would pay big dollars to see him. An incredible talent.
I wondered that myself when it happened,, and thought,, oh man would I have loved to be in that crowd!
Actually David, I believe they did. They stood up the entire encore. It was pretty incredible.
I don't think they do. We had the best era! For sure!
David I wish I could've been there. it would've been a miracle
beautiful voice. still got it. 😀😃
I've been watching Steve Perry perform with the eel,s in different states. And his voice keep,s getting better and better. Stronger and stronger after each show. His voice will never leave him. He has a gift for god. He,s been touched by his hands. So he can always sing I believe in his talent. Keep on singing Steve your fans love you. 2020 in Cleveland Ohio . Forever his fan.

Steve talks from the heart and sings from the soul..the note he hits at the end of lovin touchin is simply amazing...can't wait for it new solo album in 2017...it's always a good day when you hear " the voice "...
Jim Ehrlich OMG!!! I can't wait either! I missed all his concerts before...either too young or just life in the way. I'm so ready to see him live!!!! I'd pay anything to see this legend!!! listen to him here...F'n 68 and still sounds great!!
Jim Ehrlich infinity and evolution have bn my fave albums since late 70 and they still makes me cry even today...steve is not comparable
Still the best and sexiest male voice EVER in my opinion. Love you SP.
He's still got that golden voice.
Hell yeah he does. Love the avatar by the way. Shine on fellow Floydian!
Still smooth but all the range is gone. He's singing in a very monotone, lower register. He simply can't deliver those hits the way he used to.
MJ . I have to agree, respectfully. The range and power ... just not there.
MJ he sings sharp
Yes he does. Its rusty but he still has it. I cant wait for his new album. I heard he is a perfectionist so who knows when it will come out. Lol
I love Steve Perry. Best vocalist ever.
Good God is this guy an AMAZING singer. 67 yrs old and he can belt like that! Wow! Incredible singer. Come to Palm Beach Fl Steve...
His confidence in himself made so much difference. Being able to be the frontman to an audience who adorned him and no contention in the band , has brought him back to us. He loves being a frontman to, and we love seeing him!
Loved seeing that strut and playing with the audience and the band. He got better with each song and what he was hitting at the end crazy. Lucky people!
Not only can he sing he can tell a story like no one! Just great stuff Steve we miss you!!
steve is the man. one of the best frontmans of all time
Pretty amazing for a man out of vocal shape can hit those very difficult notes. We miss you Steve. You touched so many lives. Thank you!
Steve in his prime (and I still love the way he sounds now) however in his prime he was the best male singer in history of song - for range, pitch, tone, and emotion. Freddy was also incredible, however, the other members of queen harmonized with Freddie to get that great distinctive queen sound, both great legends of music. Steve's on the end of "why can't this night go on forever", says it all just listen...at 68 he is aging really good as well. God bless him, can;t wait to hear the new stuff.
Excellent and on target comments regarding Steve Perry.
He's still definitely got the pipes!
How i wish to see him live singing once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can watch this over and over!!! He sounds fantastic!! This crowd is just not rowdy enough for me! I would have lost my voice screaming and waving the whole time...his voice still melts my heart!
No matter how many times I watch this. I love this so much. Steve singing Lights was so amazing. I am so envious of everyone there. Because I was not there. Steve is so Electric he’s on fire that night. He was having so much fun you can tell that he missed being on stage. Crystal in Ohio loves you Steve Forever and Always. Once a musician always an Musician till the very end 🔥❤️🔥💯💯🎼🎶🎤⭐️🌟✨💫⚡️💥💎💎🧨🧨📀💿💽
No one is good as the original did..love you always steve..perry girl here❤️
So awesome to see this! Thank you! What a gift he was given!!!💗
I ❤️ Steve Perry! His song...When you love a woman , was played as I walked down the aisle at my wedding ❤️ I LOVE U STEVE PERRY!!! 😘
the man .. the voice.. the legend!!.. He is so awesome, no voice will ever replace him. He will always be the lead singer of the most greatest 80's band Journey!. If he would return that would be awesome. The world loves him and that voice. God Bless him in his endeavors as he decides what to do, please know he would be very welcomed with "open arms" ..
Theresa Carbajal
sorry sounds old man damn.
This morning, as I lie in my bed grinning ear to ear, I am most thankful for this little thing called RUclips. And yes; I am 100% envious of every soul in that theatre. Lucky dogs!
Shannon Corkill I am envying them too, I’d do anything to see him in person!!!!!!!!!!!
I to is feeling very jealous of those people . I would of given my right arm to see my Steve Perry . I've loved him forever 💕❤️ 😻😻 my one wish before I leave this world is to meet my favorite singer in Cleveland Ohio 2020 forever his fan
I love his voice and his personality so much. I could watch and listen to him every day
Just like the old days, only thing missing is that beautiful long hair, wish he had never cut it off. He's incredible ...still got it.
you haters were never SP fans....how can you say he lost it!! He sounds fantastic!!!! still so soulful. Faithfully a Perry girl!!!
Perry fan here. Big time.
@@karenhann8678 yep. Big time!! Love Steve Perry.
I don't understand rock fans. Opera singers retire at 50. Steve sings great
Brought tears to my eyes! THE VOICE!
Wtf is everybody talking he sounds amazing!
He’s so damn talented. He sounds very good here, especially considering his age. Would love to see him do some solo shows before he totally retires.
What makes this band great in the presence of greatness is them putting the music above their egos.
I wonder if the younger people or if anyone in this audience even realizes what an amazing opportunity it was to have Mr. Steve Perry bless them with his amazing appearance let alone his amazing, angelic one-of-a kind voice! They were so fortunate to hear him sing again. I'd give anything even to hear his voice on the phone!!!
Please call me Steve! I love you yesterday, today and forever and eternity! God bless you!
Pure Magic!!! That Voice is just incredible!
Really... this guy can sing the phone book... Great Steve Perry!
And that kids is a real singer!
Jp Reddy hell yeah!! the best ever!
yes
That was fun to watch. Steve really looked like he was having a good time. Who cares if his voice doesn't sound like it did 20-something years ago. Kudos to him for getting out there again.
His voice has matured, has deepened, and has grown more sexy.
Arthur wouldn't know anything about growing more sexy ;) @@amylacher5636
I love listening to him sing, He will always be the VOICE, he did it so perfectly!!! just can not get enough of your singing Steve Perry, I will always want to hear more and more from you!! You are the best!!!
Steve is timeless, simply timeless.
He is so comfortable with a microphone back in his hands! I don't care what notes he hits...as long as I can hear him S I N G!!!!
OMG Steve Perry and Jimmy Barnes. OMFG i adore perry no matter his age. and barnsey. well enough said
Wow! Steve you are still and always will be the best. THAT VOICE!
Awesome as always Steve! Expected nothing less even after all these years. Your voice sounded as beautiful and in shape as it ever was. One of the best entertainers and showmen in the business then and now. Always a professional. Truly a golden voice like yours is a gift from God! Never "hide your light under a bushel" let it shine as you did this night. Love you
I'm crying. I love this man so much.
The rumors that he can't sing anymore are completely overblown, his voice is awesome!
Steve Perry is genuine inside and out. Saw him in video on the streets stopping people and talking to everyone. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's journey's ex manager Herbie who spread rumors that Steve's voice s lost can't even b fix with vocal coach he lied
Seeing Steve have so much fun....brings tears to my eyes.... still loving and missing you.... 2021
Still got it!!!Steve perry marvellous as always.....those audience are soooooo lucky to see him sing again,very very lucky
I was at this show! I loved Journey as a kid and I love the Eels as an adult, so this was an unbelievable thrill. Kudos to E and Eels for bringing Steve Perry back onstage. It was truly a privilege to be in that audience.
Thank you for posting this brilliant video.
So nice to hear that one of my fellow fans was in that oh so lucky audience! Good for you Jamie!
OMG... This might be the most intense jealousy I've ever felt about anyone!! 😂 You lucky person!!!
You lucky lucky soul! 😭
Very cool. Very jealous of you. Good for you. 🤟🏻
Jamie… I am such a big fan of Steve Perry … you were there? You officially are sainted in my eyes.😁
I listen to this quite often and just can't get enough of him!!! listen to them pipes still!!! holy crap he sounds great!! what a humble legend!!!!
Wow...just watched that and he wld make Million$...of people happy by going on tour. Love the virtuosity of Neil Schon, but he is the reason I'm goin. I don't care how he sounds, it's good enuf for me just to see that goofy dance/strut and the soulful sway again. Plus, he's saved his voice for 20 years while on sabbatical! Do it bro...
I don't think he SP realizes the affect he has on people. His voice is so iconic it can't be duplicated. He is a definite original and so loved and adored by all his fans. The people that were lucky enough to see him live that was a once in lifetime amazing gift you've been given cherish it!
he can still put so much into a song. his love is smiling from above down on him. Mr. Perry we miss you
ahhh! how LUCKY this crowd! how lucky to hear and see this guy in person. ooohhhh!!! how many are so desperate to grab a chance like this! i love this voice! it doesnt matter how old he is, he owns that VOICE! that vvvoooiiiiccccceeeee! really, lucky audience. how precious this moment is!
If I didn't know anything about SP and was just watching to enjoy the sight and sounds...I would think he is only 35 at the most...
Steve Perry is The GOAT. The absolute only celebrity on this planet I want to meet
I just want to watch him perform just one more time before I leave this earth!
Best pure male singer of all time. Incredible range and control.
Absolutely
Without a doubt!
I agree, the best voice . the best set of pipes
Elvis was in my book. But Steve's my second!
I guess we know now :-(
Steve Perry is the king of the golden voice
😇😇
This is like living in the moment all over again . His voice just memorizes you and becomes a part of you. He was a crush of mine like any female back in the eighties. The voice that is in my head.Love you Steve
He's so awesome.. I love Steve Perry and would do anything to meet him...
nita garcia I did on the Evolution tour June '79.
Me too, but never idolize famous people. It's kind of weird and scary to them. Say nice to meet you, I really like your work, then talk about everyday things, like weather or your love of cars or something else. Don't bring your 6 foot airbrushed paintings. Those are the fans that stars try to avoid...
He still has that golden voice ❤️❤️❤️
That, was f-ing AWESOME!!!
Nobody sings like this man. Living legend
Nobody can sing like Steve he is so great love
I was screaming and happy cries just watching this on my phone. Love you Steve Perry!!!!❤

He is so amazing, tears are falling bigtime. We miss you Steve Perry !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just love to hear Steve Perry sing. He is one of my favorite vocalist in the world. He can change your whole mood with just his songs. Thanks Steve.
Steve Please Come back to us!!! We love you and miss you so much!!! I have been listening to you for 35 years. You are a big, important part to the soundtrack to my life. Please sing at the Rock Induction in April!

Very polished and seasoned Steve Perry Journey Legend!! Love it Steve❤
His voice still sounds wonderful to me! And what amazing charisma he has!! I would fly anywhere to see him perform.
Still got it going on. Still sexy, still one of the best voices ever!! Gotta love Steve Perry!
That first song was heart wrenching. Tremendous vocal and a very good song that never was sung like that before!
For anyone watching this on August 2018, Just to let you know that Steve Perry just made a Twitter, Facebook and Instagram account and just announced his long awaited 3rd Album ''Traces'', its set to be released on October 5th. Long Live The Voice.
Wow the man with the voice he’s still got it after all those years. I didn’t expect him to sound as good as that. Can’t wait for he’s new album and I got a funny feeling he will be touring with journey again. GO STEVE GO your the best
I can hardly wait until his new solo cd is released!
