Journey and the Eagles were the best harmonies in rock. I always get a kick out of seeing Randy Jackson at bass... you forget he was amazing in Journey.
@@erics4653 you need to look it up.. Randy Jackson is indeed on Bass ,and has also returned to play Bass with Journey in recent years.. Randy would talk about his time in Journey on American Idol when a contestant would pick a Journey song to sing ..
I saw this tour in '86. Had 3rd row and was only 5 feet away from Steve Perry. Tickets were...$18.00. Gosh, we were so spoiled growing up. Steve was so cool during the concert -- so was Randy Jackson on bass!
I still have $10 and $12 ticket stubs saved in a storage box. We were blessed to see some of the greats in their prime for a fraction of the cost the pretenders charge today. The 80's ruled. 🤘
it was really cool to see Randy Jackson playing and singing with journey but what's messed up is when they were inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame they did'nt include him i mean they did'nt even invite him to the ceremony ; i still like them but that was like i said messed up .
Agree with you, Steve Perry vocals was just amazing like I was only three years old when that song came out, but oh my God I am like loving the way this man sings!
I never even heard of Randy Jackson until American Idol came along. I remember hearing him talking about playing in Journey all the time. I didn’t even realize that Steve Smith and Ross Valory were gone. I actually like this lineup, though. Neal Schon is the only original member left in Journey. Steve Smith an Ross Valory were recently fired regarding them trying to get ownership of the band. They didn’t realize Steve Perry still gets paid by Journey. It was part of Journey deciding to continue on without him because he didn’t get hip replacement surgery quick enough for their liking. It was a contract they had to come to terms with for them going on without them leaving him. He received a huge amount from their first 2 albums they recorded after his departure. He gets a chunk of whatever merchandise they sell. He currently gets paid $800,000 a year while they’re still active. He has a net worth of 70 million dollars. For someone who’s been gone from Journey since like 1997, he’s making some great money. He says he doesn’t spend a lot of money. He has a nice home, but it’s not some kind of mansion. He’s never been married. So, he never had to worry about losing half of his things. He’s a smart guy.
That's how it was then! None of this primary relationship w your tech device nonsense; people actually socialized in person, TALKED to each other and everything was created by us by hand; none of this social media, AI, green-screen, studio-produced nonsense. And we had REAL movie plots not reboots.
Right there with you, Asia!! His voice is beyond amazing! My favorite all time band. Their music never gets old for me, and I am 56 and lived through this era!
Asia you have great musical taste. I'm listening to music over 60 yrs and I'm leaning towards saying Steve may be the best singer ever. He's the whole package. It's said walking and singing is one of the most difficult things to do Steve does it effortlessly. Another great song. Hats off to all the band members, great job. 🎉🎉
This whole album is fantastic- “Suzanne” is one of my favorite journey songs of all time, and “be good to yourself “ is really awesome too… and have others have mentioned, that’s indeed American Idol’s Randy Jackson on bass!
Do you realize that the bass player is my man from American Ido and he’s talking about going back on tour with journey as their bass player? It is so freaking awesome.
There’s no auto tune garbage and he can walk around and sing like that! Can’t imagine living with him and having that voice sing just around the house to other bands. I imagine it was priceless growing up with him! They sold out every single show they did! I was lucky enough to see them when I was 13 and right before Steve Perry lost that voice unfortunately for a long time. It was unbelievable! He is so amazing and just walks around like that y’all!!!
I met Randy Jackson when he was in Detroit on this tour. After the show me and my friend went to Greektown afterwards and saw Randy and the drummer walking down the street. I only recognized him cuz of his wildly tall hair and great colorful cloth's. We ran over and all I could say is "where is Steve Perry?", about a hundred times. They told us that Steve was probably back at his hotel, but that Neal Schon and Jon Cain were over there in that little pub. We rushed over and sure enough Neal and Jon were there. Got Neal's autograph on a napkin. Should have gotten Randy's back then, but I had no idea who he was. Just that he was replacing Ross Valary on tour. Fun night to say the least.
Raised on Radio is one of the best-produced records of the 1980s; you owe it yourselves to hear the perfect-ness of the sounds on the album version of this song. Imagine five Perrys layered on top of each other in the choral section at the end. Stunning stuff.
Thank you guys! As a HUGE, lifelong Journey fan, you guys nailed it. Asia, you are exactly right, Neal Schon’s guitar solos are special. I enjoyed watching your response to Neal’s solo. He has moved me with his guitar for forty years. You two are fun to watch.
I can't even tell you how many times my Mom saw Journey in concert. They're one of her favorite bands and she most definitely passed it down to me because I absolutely love them too. I hope you both can react to "Winds Of March". It's one of my favorite songs of theirs. I'm not a parent so I could never understand the significance of this song but I think it can resonant with a parent, especially a father. It's a beautiful yet heartbreaking song.
My mom too, we’ve seen journey 3 times, unfortunately Steve perry wasn’t with them but we did see Steve perry solo once and it was amazing. I was only like 10 but it was great!
@@wendydotson8891 Yeah, I think the first couple times she saw them I was there. However, I was in utero so I don't quite remember what happened LOL. Rubbed off on me though because I love Journey.
So glad you mentioned Winds Of March. It,s my favorite with Steve Perry. One of the best Journey songs. The build up that leads into the bridge with the Organ Solo is amazing. Infinity is my favorite Journey album with Steve Perry.
Asia, I don't want to keep rubbing this in LOL but I was lucky enough to see this band twice and I can tell you on God that this band sounded so good life and so perfect that these musicians were top-notch and then the vocals and harmonies would just almost make anybody get tears in their eyes they were so good ! Part of the magic is that while the bandholz down vocal harmonies that are perfect it give Steve Perry room to sort of exercises voice and solo a bit on top of the harmonies is just amazing. And I noticed on this song that part of the magic that happens in here is the song actually modulates into a different key I would say the first part of a verse was in one key and then the second part of the same verse would modulate and then they're going to the pre chorus and the chorus and then come back in and to the original key not a lotta do stuff like that in their. But I want to say I'm thankful that I started watching you guys a long time ago and I'm also thankful that you guys get turned on by some of them same music that I thoroughly enjoy as well.
I had the pleasure to see them on this tour. They were fantastic. Out of all the concerts I was able to see, I would pick this one second only to Pink Floyd. Both unbelievable musically. My date that night is now my wife. 🥰
Asia & BJ, thank you so much for this! I was 21 back when I saw Journey and I was already a big fan, but hearing Steve Perry in person just blew me away. The band is so tight and make such amazing music, but having Steve Perry is what launched them into the next level. Like you said Asia, "Greatness." When I saw and heard SP effortlessly carry humanly impossible notes, I thought "it's a good thing they don't allow bottles in the concert, because his voice can literally shatter glass!"
A lot of people have said, like, Steve's voice gets under your skin. I can't explain it. Unique timbre, haunting. On occasion he's done a background vocal and you can always tell it's him - or like I never knew for years Journey had done a song for the movie Tron and knew instantly.
4:08....can't argue with Asia about Steve Perry....one of THE BEST front men of all time, and classically trained tenor....that's why he can burp out those high C's!!! Look out, Pavarotti!!!!
This is my absolute favorite Journey song. It's just so poignant, and every time I listen I can envision this couple that does love each other, but can't get out of their own way enough to make it happen and still looking for someone else out there. Really heartbreaking in that sense. They do put on a hell of a show. These lyrics though, they really tell such a story.
LOVE IT!!! This track is in my top 5 fav all time by this band. The harmonies are incredible! And Neil ripping that guitar at the end. So legendary band. Happy to Give, Why Cant This Night Go On Forever, and Eyes of a Woman - all off this album and showcases Steve's voice even more than than usual.
I really enjoy your videos and seeing your reactions. I'm 70 years old and have been a Journey fan from their beginnings. I feel that they were at their peak during this concert tour. You can see how much fun they were having while performing. Sadly, I never got to see them live
“That dang ole guitar solo touched my soul”…I SAW it the moment it happened!!! Love your Journey reactions!!! Steve Perry’s voice is amazing and he was also great eye candy. I included myself as one of many who have crushed on the hot dude with the tight pants and phenomenal voice that melts hearts. 😍
Finally!!! You guys did it...I've been waiting for you to do this one. Love the fact that Asia, being a singer, appreciated Steve's range and tone. Now, just complete your repertoire and do "Mother/Father" from the 1981 Houston concert, live! 👍
Neal Schon, the guitarist, was 17 when he joined Santana on their third album. When Carlos got into the whole Jazz fusion thing with John McLaughlin, he and Santana's keyboard player decided to form their own band so they could keep on rocking. That band was Journey. What you saw here was the second incarnation of Journey.
I have grown up a Big Journey Fan have gotten to see them in concert 23 times first 1979 several of the times I got to see them right here in Dallas Tx in 1982 they Headlined The Texas Jam at Fair park in the Cotton Bowl then I saw the 3rd soldout Show at Reunion Arena 3 soldout concerts I am sure had Y’all Grown Up in my Time I would see Y’all at a Journey concert
I've got one for you Asia that really shows off Steve's voice. Check out "Patiently" from The Midnight Special. It wasn't a huge hit but the first song Steve Perry & Neil Schoen wrote right when Steve joined the band. They said that was a bonding moment between the both of them & the rest is history!
Asia you have to look up and listen to Forrest McDonald Featuring Steve Perry “It’s over” this is Steve singing a song Forrest McDonald wrote in 1976 before he joined Journey . It is amazing so smooth silky and sexy!! You will not be disappointed!! ❤
This is Amazing and seeing Randy Jackson from American Idol. Seeing his guitar and talented time with Journey :) Love u Asia and BJ ,u light up my life during Music and movie times always🥰🤗💖
I mentioned this on another Journey reaction video, but I have more detailed information about the 1983 Journey video game : Journey is an arcade video game released by Bally Midway in 1983. Rock band Journey had enjoyed major success in the early 1980s, and Bally/Midway decided to ride this wave of popularity by creating an arcade game based on the group. Its release was intended to coincide with the band's US tour (for the Frontiers album, the cover artwork of which is used in the video game's main display screen). This game uses digitized photographs of the members of the band at the time: Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Steve Smith, Jonathan Cain, and Ross Valory. ~ Wikipedia The game's prologue explains the objective in the demo sequences (and presumably before each play session) : Wild alien groupoids have seized Journey's electro-supercharged instruments. Your mission is to help Journey retrieve their instruments from the dangers of the Five Galaxies. Trek through hazardous obstacles in quest of each instrument and then battle your way back to the Scarab vehicle. When all five missions are completed, Journey begins a spectacular concert at the Galactic Stadium. Journey plays their hit song while Herbie guards the stage from frenzied groupoids who are trying to take the instruments. Te Journey songs in this game for each of the levels are : Steve Perry, vocals - DON'T STOP BELIEVING (from the album ESCAPE, 1981) Neal Schon, guitar - CHAIN REACTION (from the album FRONTIERS, 1983) Ross Valory, bass - KEEP ON RUNNING (from the album ESCAPE, 1981) Jonathan Cain, piano/keyboards - STONE IN LOVE (from the album ESCAPE, 1981) Steve Smith, drums - WHEEL IN THE SKY (from the album INFINITY, 1978) Other in-game events : Planet Select Screen (choosing which level/band member to play) - FRONTIERS (from the album FRONTIERS, 1983) Losing A Life (failing the level) - WHO'S CRYING NOW (from the album ESCAPE, 1981) Planet Cleared (completing the level) - LIGHTS (from the album INFINITY, 1978) I have only ever played this game a handful of times back in the day (1983-1985) when it was at the local Safeway (grocery store) in my neighborhood, and I could never complete a single level. It was simple enough in concept, but near impossible in execution. Either the controls were set to be extremely sensitive, or the difficulty was jacked up (possibly both) to scam dumb indignant kids (like I was, lol) into feeding the machine more quarters.
I love how Asia's face lights up when she hears Journey. Suzanne is an underrated gem. You should check out Strungout from Perry's solo venture as well.
2:53 that part is haaard 🔥 they’re perfect perfect. This song has such a timeless feel. Heck yes I’d be a girl right on the front row with open arms 😊❤
These dudes had a five, six, year run back in the late 70's and early 80's where they could do no wrong. Saw em in Lexington KY in Rupp Arena on the "Escape" Tour. Bout 28-29 thousand people jammed in there shoulder to shoulder and it was LOUD. Great show...
I am so lucky that I grew up in the age that I did. We went to almost every concert that would come around Philly. Back then in the 80s, ticket prices for concerts were only about 25 bucks. We didn't have to deal with scammers who buy all the good tickets up and then try to resell them for 300 and 400 and $500. Next to Pink Floyd Journey was probably one of my favorite bands to see live they were so amazing always sounded good crowds packed to the rafters. Boy do I miss those days I don't even go to concerts now when I see how much they cost, it's freaking ridiculous. Also fun fact did you know that the guy playing the guitar to Steve's right on the stage is Randy Jackson from American Idol? 🎉
I saw this tour in Denver. Blew my mind and I had chills the whole time! It was like a revival service! I was a little bummed that they changed bass and drummer, but Randy Jackson slayed it! Memorable moment in my life!
The "VOICE" Steve Perry.. The pride of Hanford, CA.
Journey and the Eagles were the best harmonies in rock. I always get a kick out of seeing Randy Jackson at bass... you forget he was amazing in Journey.
No Autotune, no safety net, just an amazing singer on stage with only his voice to carry him.
Yup. Live ,real live vocals. Unreal!
I was a singer in a couple of bands. Nobody has any Idea how good Steve is really, and how hard this is! Respect.
Randy Jackson on Bass … Fantastic Journey song with Steve Perry on vocals ..
I don’t think they recognized him.
@@ghfantexas6848 .. True .. 👍🏼
That is not Randy Jackson. It is Clarence Clemons from Springsteen's band.
Clarence Clemons plays the sax.

Same at the BJCC in Birmingham, Al. Also saw the Frontiers tour in 83. One of the best. No doubt.
I was also at this concert 👊🏻 the best time’s
Every girl loved Journey in the 80s. That's why most guys loved Journey in the 80s.
Good times great music ❤
Great song by one of the greatest bands ever, with the greatest singer to ever set foot on a stage.
Agree with you, Steve Perry vocals was just amazing like I was only three years old when that song came out, but oh my God I am like loving the way this man sings!
I was a kid in the 80’s and this band sweeps me right back to that amazing time. Steve Perry’s voice is other worldly. ❤❤❤❤
OMG that incredible voice, there is no other like Steve Perry. There is no question why he is still and always will be so beloved around the world.
No cell phone, no worries about a photo op. Everyone being together enjoying the exact same moment. What a great time to be young and free!
Geri...so stay off yr cell more, lol. And tell everyone else!! Bad world out there now.
So glad I grew up back then.
So true.

Very few people have "The Voice" Steve is one of the few who can sing a single 3 second note and you automatically know it's him.
Kathryn...name that tune....remember that show? Or u too young, lol.
@@michaelasay8587 I can name that tune in 4 notes.....( I'm almost 57 so yeah, I remember it well)
Right there with you, Asia!! His voice is beyond amazing! My favorite all time band. Their music never gets old for me, and I am 56 and lived through this era!
That was Randy Jackson from Idol on the bass
As a 62 year old woman he had it for so many women. You felt he was singing to you. You two has the sweetest disposition
Steve Perry's voice melts hearts❤
The bass player is Randy Jackson from American Idol...judge...
Asia you have great musical taste. I'm listening to music over 60 yrs and I'm leaning towards saying Steve may be the best singer ever. He's the whole package. It's said walking and singing is one of the most difficult things to do Steve does it effortlessly. Another great song. Hats off to all the band members, great job. 🎉🎉
It is the greatest joy to me to watch you both fall in ❤ with Journey like we did! 🎶. Awesome!
Steve Perry (The Voice) a vocal genius. Randy Jackson on Bass was incredible!! ♥️🎶🎤❤ 🎸
Journey had it all. Great song writers, great lead singer, great background vocals, awesome guitar. Just a once in a lifetime band.
Had the privilege of seeing Journey live many times in the early eighties. Greatest band ever, hands down.
This whole album is fantastic- “Suzanne” is one of my favorite journey songs of all time, and “be good to yourself “ is really awesome too… and have others have mentioned, that’s indeed American Idol’s Randy Jackson on bass!
Seen your face at the movies hear your voice on the radio! ❤
I agree, love that album!
Damn, Journey was from my youth era, every time still brings up goosebumps. Thank for 'reacting'. sending love
Do you realize that the bass player is my man from American Ido and he’s talking about going back on tour with journey as their bass player? It is so freaking awesome.
I'm so glad you reacted to this song. The 1st time I heard it I was hooked and probably wore it out. Great reaction!!! ❤❤❤
I’m with you Asia! Incredible voice, guitar everything!! Captivating forever!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Come on now BJ. When it comes to Asia and Steve Perry, “the girl can’t help it.” 😉 One of the great vocal rock acts, among many. Top Shelf. 🤘😎
I've always loved the onstage chemistry of Neil Schon (guitar) & Steve.
My all time favorite Journey song. The harmony rich ending is unmatched & golden
You recognize the bass player, a certain American Idol judge, Randy Jackson. Crazy ✌🏽🤟🏽
Yes. That's Randy Jackson playing bass in 1986. Great album. Listen to it since I bought it. I was 25 then. Great music, great memories!
Me too. 25 and stationed in England.
There’s no auto tune garbage and he can walk around and sing like that! Can’t imagine living with him and having that voice sing just around the house to other bands. I imagine it was priceless growing up with him! They sold out every single show they did! I was lucky enough to see them when I was 13 and right before Steve Perry lost that voice unfortunately for a long time. It was unbelievable! He is so amazing and just walks around like that y’all!!!

My favorite song by these guys. Journey was huge as I graduated high school in 1984. Fire song for real
Mine too.
Mine too
Hank...did t u see them again n concert? I saw them in 81 with Loverboy and Joan Jett!
@@michaelasay8587 no honestly I’ve never been big on going to concerts.
@@hankarmentrout6697 you've missed out ..my God. You've got to get over whatever you're fear or concern is. I find this strange.

Steve perry the Best male voice ever no one cant touch Steve perry voice.. Steve perry the GOAT
I love it when Steve Perry starts singing, Asia starts to smile!
I can't even tell you how many times my Mom saw Journey in concert. They're one of her favorite bands and she most definitely passed it down to me because I absolutely love them too. I hope you both can react to "Winds Of March". It's one of my favorite songs of theirs. I'm not a parent so I could never understand the significance of this song but I think it can resonant with a parent, especially a father. It's a beautiful yet heartbreaking song.
My mom too, we’ve seen journey 3 times, unfortunately Steve perry wasn’t with them but we did see Steve perry solo once and it was amazing. I was only like 10 but it was great!
@@wendydotson8891 Yeah, I think the first couple times she saw them I was there. However, I was in utero so I don't quite remember what happened LOL. Rubbed off on me though because I love Journey.
So glad you mentioned Winds Of March. It,s my favorite with Steve Perry. One of the best Journey songs. The build up that leads into the bridge with the Organ Solo is amazing. Infinity is my favorite Journey album with Steve Perry.
For the record, ALL concerts were big like this back then! You expected nothing less when going to a concert then.
And at the right time people knew when to hold up their lighters, none of this iPhone bullshit.
@@Mike-rk8px People came together over the music like nothing else...must be why they stopped it.
100%. We are going in July. Will be fun regardless of no SP. but for the 40 year mark. Going back is still everything!
So true…..you had to get there early before assigned seating! All 20+ concerts I went to in the 70’s and 80’s were always wild .
@@daveversion2.2 Yep...was the norm to sell out like a football game..60k or more per show every.

I truly feel blessed to have seen journey live in concert in Buffalo, NY with The Rolling Stones in the early 80’s.
It literally blows my mind that Randy Jackson from the early American Idol days was the guy playing bass!😮😮😮😮 Go DOG!

I've got one for you Asia that really shows off Steve's voice.
Check out "Patiently" from The Midnight Special. It wasn't a huge hit but the first song Steve Perry & Neil Schoen wrote right when Steve joined the band. They said that was a bonding moment between the both of them & the rest is history!
Asia you have to look up and listen to Forrest McDonald Featuring Steve Perry “It’s over” this is Steve singing a song Forrest McDonald wrote in 1976 before he joined Journey . It is amazing so smooth silky and sexy!! You will not be disappointed!! ❤
This is Amazing and seeing Randy Jackson from American Idol. Seeing his guitar and talented time with Journey :) Love u Asia and BJ ,u light up my life during Music and movie times always🥰🤗💖

Asia & BJ, you’ll love their "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' " !!!
This and Still they Ride....favorite Journey songs. But so many.
I mentioned this on another Journey reaction video, but I have more detailed information about the 1983 Journey video game :
Journey is an arcade video game released by Bally Midway in 1983. Rock band Journey had enjoyed major success in the early 1980s, and Bally/Midway decided to ride this wave of popularity by creating an arcade game based on the group. Its release was intended to coincide with the band's US tour (for the Frontiers album, the cover artwork of which is used in the video game's main display screen). This game uses digitized photographs of the members of the band at the time: Steve Perry, Neal Schon, Steve Smith, Jonathan Cain, and Ross Valory. ~ Wikipedia
The game's prologue explains the objective in the demo sequences (and presumably before each play session) :
Wild alien groupoids have seized Journey's electro-supercharged instruments. Your mission is to help Journey retrieve their instruments from the dangers of the Five Galaxies. Trek through hazardous obstacles in quest of each instrument and then battle your way back to the Scarab vehicle.
When all five missions are completed, Journey begins a spectacular concert at the Galactic Stadium. Journey plays their hit song while Herbie guards the stage from frenzied groupoids who are trying to take the instruments.
Te Journey songs in this game for each of the levels are :
Steve Perry, vocals - DON'T STOP BELIEVING (from the album ESCAPE, 1981)
Neal Schon, guitar - CHAIN REACTION (from the album FRONTIERS, 1983)
Ross Valory, bass - KEEP ON RUNNING (from the album ESCAPE, 1981)
Jonathan Cain, piano/keyboards - STONE IN LOVE (from the album ESCAPE, 1981)
Steve Smith, drums - WHEEL IN THE SKY (from the album INFINITY, 1978)
Other in-game events :
Planet Select Screen (choosing which level/band member to play) - FRONTIERS (from the album FRONTIERS, 1983)
Losing A Life (failing the level) - WHO'S CRYING NOW (from the album ESCAPE, 1981)
Planet Cleared (completing the level) - LIGHTS (from the album INFINITY, 1978)
I have only ever played this game a handful of times back in the day (1983-1985) when it was at the local Safeway (grocery store) in my neighborhood, and I could never complete a single level.
It was simple enough in concept, but near impossible in execution. Either the controls were set to be extremely sensitive, or the difficulty was jacked up (possibly both) to scam dumb indignant kids (like I was, lol) into feeding the machine more quarters.
Been listening to the greatness of Journey since the mid 70s. Damn near impossible to find a bad song by them.
Finally! One of my favorite songs…takes me straight back to high school days. Thank you for reacting to it. 😊
Great song and with Steve's voice, phenomenal!
The companion song to this would be "Send Her My Love" which of course shows how Great Journey is. Been a fan for almost 5 decades now.
@@peace-and-quietI listened to that track 5 times maybe 3 mon ago. Couple of my friends agreed it is top notch a little jazzy and soulful.
Oooh yeah, Send Her My Love gives me chills every time!
You can hear the beginning of that song starting up in the video!
Asia would Absolutely melt when she hears (Why can't this night go on forever .) It's a must .
I love how Asia's face lights up when she hears Journey. Suzanne is an underrated gem. You should check out Strungout from Perry's solo venture as well.
I love them
2:53 that part is haaard 🔥 they’re perfect perfect. This song has such a timeless feel. Heck yes I’d be a girl right on the front row with open arms 😊❤
Awesome tune. Studio version is even better. Also you'd love Just the Same Way, Only the Young, and Ask the Lonely.
I just Discovered you guys and I am loving your reactions!! ❤
These dudes had a five, six, year run back in the late 70's and early 80's where they could do no wrong. Saw em in Lexington KY in Rupp Arena on the "Escape" Tour. Bout 28-29 thousand people jammed in there shoulder to shoulder and it was LOUD. Great show...
Excellent harmony!
My favorite Journey song! Beautiful.
I saw Journey in concert 3 times and each concert was better than the other ones if that's even possible.
Asia and BJ, you should ask Steve Perry to come on your show. He is the kind of person who will do anything for anyone.
Awww...Definitely one of my favorite Journey song.
American Idol judge Randy Jackson on Bass
I am so lucky that I grew up in the age that I did. We went to almost every concert that would come around Philly. Back then in the 80s, ticket prices for concerts were only about 25 bucks. We didn't have to deal with scammers who buy all the good tickets up and then try to resell them for 300 and 400 and $500. Next to Pink Floyd Journey was probably one of my favorite bands to see live they were so amazing always sounded good crowds packed to the rafters. Boy do I miss those days I don't even go to concerts now when I see how much they cost, it's freaking ridiculous. Also fun fact did you know that the guy playing the guitar to Steve's right on the stage is Randy Jackson from American Idol? 🎉
In my 10 top favorite songs ..
I saw this tour in Denver. Blew my mind and I had chills the whole time! It was like a revival service! I was a little bummed that they changed bass and drummer, but Randy Jackson slayed it! Memorable moment in my life!
I saw Journey, Aerosmith, Sammy Hager, and Bryan Adam's for $14 in 1983. No pre recorded backing tracks and 15 years before auto tune.
This is one of my favorite songs by Journey. Steve puts so much emotion into it. ❤❤❤
1986 I saw this tour!! ...yes I'm OG :P
Thanks. This is my FAVORITE Journey song
I've been listening to Steve Perry since the beginning and love him. He's iconic. Yes, every girl loved Journey back then.
Still they Ride in Japan 1983
My favorite Journey song! Thanks for the reaction.
