@chaseharlann …you want to know about this show?? SNL was starting to fall apart in my 12 yr old opinion at the time…and then Friday’s came on to compete. I recall Michael Richards devious character always blowing things up and tearing apart his sisters (melanie chartoff) dolls. Then the mom tearing open the window. Great skit. And the black dude “Ganja Man”….and the guy taking pills…hilarious skits. Thought it was funnier than SNL when it came on. But the memory that is best was the music. I don’t recall Journey in this episode but playing 2 NOT Billboard charts was awesome. I do remember clearly The Cars performing…and Wendy O’Williams and the Plasmatics. Now making me think to look that up on YT if her performance from Friday’s is posted. It was awesome…and hilarious to me.
@@jdhrap King Crimson was a shocking musical guest. The Pretenders were on as well...
See kids. This is what real music sounded like.... and no autotune needed
Tell em' grandpa!😂
@@billbazen9432 I guess you can shade someone for their age but the fact remains that music and musicians were generally way better then than now. You can see where technology has brought popular music. There were songs warning about exactly this back then and even a band killing album by Styx. But they were all right.
@@billbazen9432doesn't matter what you call us....we got to see real bands while you get to auto tune and recordings. Enjoy. Might as well go listen to milli villini
@@tfairborne501Maybe in terms of pop music, but if you turn off your radio and check out some other music, you’ll find that the music and techniques have actually improved.
Ahhhhh....46 years listening to the most PERFECT DIAMOND 💎 VOICE our Creator gave to the only man deserving of it, STEVE PERRY! Best voice in 1977, Best voice in 2023 with 8 Billion + people on planet 🌏.
Amen to that … his voice is pure velvet , liquid gold …🏆🌺
My God...they Just went out there and swept the floor..I mean they destroyed the place twice .......And they knew it. Just so tight.. So good...the little things...the bass and drums...harmonies are dead on...Neal never misses a note... And fuckin Steve....omfg!!!! Seriously?.. Just Amazing..
I love this it's so perfect. Steve Perry/ Journey at it's best. So clear Steve Perry was on fire 🔥🔥🔥. And he was smoking hot gorgeous.
Easy crystal sounds like someone else’s is on fire too !
Journey also performed in Oaklands Day on the green that month, I was there.
🔥🤘💯
Steve took over and they thrived
@@douggauzy6258 LOL l Am. Aways when it comes to Steve Perry 💯💯👍👍🎶🎶🎼🎼🎤
Steve is the complete showman. He can get the audience involved and keep them in the palm of his hand!
I think this is the best line up of Journey
I wonder if Steve watches these old videos on RUclips and think damm i did all that singing!!!
Steve just sits in a big bank vault and counts all the treasure that the current tour is generating for him without ever singing a note.
43 years ago, back when music was “live” and original and life was good and simple ☺️
I love this classic Journey line up with Greg Rollie
I remember seeing this on TV. I was so impressed. I bought the Departure album with in a week and have been a fan ever since
I watched this performance when it originally broadcast on ABC. They were fantastic.
I did too. Killer.
Smokin' hot vocals and music! Who doesn't love Steve's powerful and emotionally evocative vocals and Gregg Rolie's open shirt "rock god" look. 44 years later and I think i appreciate them now more than ever. No autotune ! Just a great music!
How wonderful this is pure beauty. The amezing and incomparable Steve Perry and the gentlemen of Journey including Greg Rollie always put me in a good mood. ❤
* Gregg Rolie
Ross Valory is a criminally underrated bassist. Guy rocks.
Yeah! I also like how he’s having fun with the camera
Actual live performance too. So many TV appearances were lip-synced.
His vocals seem effortless. Just amazing , THE GOAT
Journey truly rocked with Steve! ❤
They truly did. I was fortunate to see them on the Escape tour in 1981.
Steve Perry at his peak. Journey at their peak.
9 days after this show in 1980, Journey headlined The Day on the Green in Oakland, California. This is exactly how I remember seeing Journey that day - young, full of energy, wearing bright colorful clothes and displaying monster musicianship!
I wish music and culture was still this good and cool! What a great time those days were.
Oh does STEVE PERRY have the moves! That voice and face and hair🇵🇹🤘
Journey was nowhere near my wheelhouse in musical genre. However, there is no denying that they were damn good in all facets that count for a music group. I did enjoy hearing them whenever they popped up, usually on MTV. Steve Perry’s voice was a guilty pleasure.
This takes me right back to Friday night 1980
The necklace he’s wearing is a musical note ,his mother gave it to him and I believe he wore it for many years.
Steve Perry is truly amazing, he is the best❤❤❤❤
I was 14, LOL.
I'm sure my dad watched it, he loved 'Fridays'.
This was when Journey and Van Halen ruled the rock and roll world.
First of all, I love the fact that he did not lip sync the songs. Second of all, both songs were absolutely perfect performances.
High quality rock and roll entertainment. Totally loved it.
Stevie is having fun. I wish I had been in that audience
Oh yes I know exactly what you mean ❤
Oh to have been in that audience!🙌
His girlfriend Sherrie is there right behind the lady front row w/yellow dress. He walked up there singing
My god, this quality is GOOD!! 😮🤯
This classic iteration of Journey was soooo tight!
Saw them one month after this. amazing
I saw this when it aired. What a great band.
I watched Fridays every week, but I can’t remember anything about them. Too many years have passed.
I wish I could have attended this show!! WOW STEVE PERRY 👏 is such a gorgeous man, and his singing is incredible!!! AMEN 🙏 thanks for sharing this!! Love ❤️ Steve Perry ❤️
Departure Album is my favorite from Journey and walks like a lady is one of the best songs
This is my absolute favorite Video of my favorite band. Steve is HOT!!!🔥🔥🔥
Ya 😉
Looks like Steve invented the talk show host aisle walk around!!!!!❤
Steve Perry proudly wearing the WBCN t-shirt backstage at 9:15 - the greatest rock station of all time...and Michael Richards center in the back...and Larry David with his back turned and on the left of the screen at 9:22. Loved that show Fridays for the short time it was on.
Amazing Steve Perry!!!!😍🌹❤
Thanks for sharing this Journey gem!!!!!🙂👍
I was addicted to Fridays. Michael Richards. Loved that era of Sonor, too.
Loved it too. He was hilarious.
Love it I’ve always loved it. Steve Perry look so good in that white jacket.
Interesting how during the "Journey Goes Backstage" segment that Gregg Rolie hangs back while everyone else rushes up front. This was his last tour with Journey as a full member of the band.
looks like he had a limp as he went into the back stage area. being on the road so long takes its toll.
I put this video on my bookmark bar.❤
I remember having a pair of Nikes just like those in the early 80’s
This band was on FIRE.
Amo a Steve Perry apenas descubri esta joya este año u lo sigo u deseo saber mas de El .
Gracias a Dios por Existir 💗 la Mejor y prodigiosa de los 80s y de todos los tiempos 😮❤
Wow! Thank you! Great performance! His energy and talent with his beautiful smile!!!!!!!
Journey was a solid rock and roll band.
Fridays was awesome. Funny and great music. Pretty pretty pretty good😂😂
His hair at its silky best!
4:20 - 4:33 😶 that note and those facial expressions are to die for
Up close and personal. Hope that audience realized how lucky they were.
These kids are fortunate to see this band at this time in such a small intimate setting for within a month they were playing stadiums at this time around the world…
Greg Rolie is the standout here along with Smith and Valory.
Wow, I have never seen this footage. Thanks for sharing!!!!
I cant believe I haven't stumbled on this before. Gold, just pure gold. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you so much for posting this! I was mad I missed this 44 years ago! Now I finally got to see it! Thank you!
The only way to tell that Steve is actually singing that perfectly live is when he changes the melody slightly from the studio version. Steve Perry has me searching for new superlatives
love this song
Amazing performance and mix.
Steve Perry since ever, for ever ❤
Fridays definitely had the edge over SNL with cooler musical acts/performances
Awesome live performance! This was broadcast on my 14th birthday not long before I first discovered Journey here in the UK. Thanks for posting
Me too, let's hear it for the class of 84.
Just what I needed to see... Awesome 👍👍👍
Wow...the clarity of this video is amazing - I hope you receive more!!!
You can see Herbie Herbert sitting in the front aisle. RIP buddy.
I owned Herbie’s Marshall for a few years. Great amp.
Thanks for sharing! Haven't seen these performances... "Departure" is the first Journey album I ever heard as a kid on vinyl. This album imo is on the same level as the other (Perry era) albums and is greatly underrated or overlooked it seems.
Great capture and upload! I don't think I've seen this video as clean as the copy you're sharing! Thanks 🎶
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!!!🤗🌹🎶
Groovin', rocking and blasting! Whattaband!!! great upload Chase.
So Good!
I remember watching this show regularly back in 1980, but I didn't remember Journey being on it. I do remember the song "Walks like a lady " never saw it on live setlists though.
At 5:45 Neal was clearly playing the riff in 'Looks That Kill'.........except 3 years earlier than Motley Crue
The Two Songs Of Walks Like A Lady And Where Were You Are Taken From The Album: Departure (1980)
This Was Journey's Last Tv Show With Keyboardist And Vocal Gregg Rolie Who Left Later In 1980
Damn, this needs to be LOUDER !
Wow 43 years ago...seems like yesterday
I never knew Ross played Peavy T40 like the one I had back then. SO cool.
@@djavidianmx1832 Just the one, but yeah what you are saying.
Great song !!!❤❤❤
Steve Perry was inhuman in the studio and even better live. His ability to ad lib is untouchable.
Friday's was a funny show. This performance is fantastic. The audio is poor on my end, unfortunately. Low volume. But still a blast to watch.
ABC didn't give this show nearly enough time to build an audience.
This 1980 footage from Fridays tv show was roughly a year before Journey would achieve mega superstars status with the 1981 album Escape. Journey was popular enough in 1980 to be showcased on late night TV. But they were not the global superstars that they were a year later in 1981 with the classic popular songs such as “ Open Arms”, and “ Don’t stop Believing “ from their breakthrough album Escape which catapulted them to iconic stars.
So much charisma
I came 43 years late to listening this 🤣
Loved this!!!
On fire!
Is it me or is it hot in here?
Actor who played Kramer on Seinfeld was a little known comedic performer on this show….years before Seinfeld first aired.
That's Michael Richards clearly visible at 9:11 of this video (in the rear center)....then at 9:22 on the left side of the screen, you can clearly see Seinfeld creator, Larry David (with his back turned to the camera - brown shirt, blue jeans) - once Fridays ended in 1982, Larry David went onto SNL as a writer...where one of the sketch performers was Julia Louis Dreyfuss. Interesting to see how that all came together over the years.
Where was Journey at this point in their history?
They were having their big breakthrough with "Any Way You Want It".
They were not yet household names
and not yet the icon the band would shortly become.
The following year in 1981 with Escape was their breakthrough album into global superstars
WOW... Fridays TV show!
I went once to a taping of the show while in college. The guest host was Karen Allen from "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and the musical guests were The Stray Cats! Remember them? 🤔
The '80s... so long ago...😢
It Was Journey's Second Tv Show With Steve Smith
5:23 still remember a girl in yellow shirt, I'm not sure that her reaction was planned by show producer.
anyway, this journey's performance was such a historic for all rock fans, maybe a last stage of Gregg Rolie(former Santana w/Neal Schon)
's Rolie out = Jonathan Cain in....means that from only an American band to world's super legendary group.
Thanks for sharing! Great quality
👀I spy Sherrie 1:19 supportin' her man😍😎🤙=^..^=
That sure does look like her.
@@dani_m10 🤔duh...she was his girlfriend🤯🤷🏼♀️🙃🤙=^..^=
She doesn't ever look happy. Including here.
July 18, 1980 means it was summertime and I had recently turned 18. Now: guess if I would go back to that time and place.
THANK YOU
Neal was so jealous of Steve!! You can tell by his stares
Remember watching this live. Saying what no Any Way You Want it?
Dang, it's scary, I remember watching this!!!!! 🤣🤣
Fridays was ABC's attempt to duplicate the success of NBC's Saturday Night Live. I was a sketch comedy show that included Michael Richards (Kramer on Seinfeld later), Larry David, and Rich Hall in the cast. I think it only lasted a couple of years, but I thought Michael Richards was the stand out on the show. You saw all that physical comedy that he did as Kramer later. They had some pretty good musical guests.
