Journey was so big at this point they were the first band to have their own video game. Bands had Pinball machines before this but Journey got a standup arcade video game in 83 to promote this album (Frontiers)... there was even an audio tape in the machine that would play Seperate Ways if you beat all 7 rounds.
I mean no disrespect to people who have come after Steve Perry, they have worked their arses off fronting Journey. For me Journey with Steve fronting it, is the real deal. Your absolutely right, it would stack up extremely well against today’s music, this song has got Rock and Roll all over it. 🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧🕺🏻💃🎸☘️
Neal Shon was a child guitar prodigy. He started at 8 or 9 yrs young, by 12 playing music fairs, at 15 played with Jeff Beck at a bar. They had to sneak him in and was told drink NOTHING, not even water and was rushed out the back door. This is what Neal lives for, ROCK. Yougest member of Santana and brought into Journey by Herbie Herbert soon to be band manager. I wish this was a live version, watching him on guitar would have been epic.
Troubled Child is another great track off of Frontiers. There are live recordings of Edge of the Blade on you tube from the 83 Frontiers tour and they are FABULOUS!
Like your reaction to it, this song rocks, listen to it all the time. Vocals are 🔥 So happy a new generation of people are getting to hear not only a great band, but a singer with a phenomenal voice. Steve is the man 🥰
Neal absolutely shredded that 🎸. Ross on bass was fantastic too. Steve's voice ...well astonishing. Everything about it is just damn good. AND, Hap your reactions are so much fun to watch . CHEERS
🔥🔥Hot, hot, hot! 🎶🎤 Great reaction Hap, to a deep track!! 🎸Amazing Neal Schon guitar and Steve Perry vocals. It was the B side for "Faithfully". You said it Hap, this sounds fresh, it is timeless music🎼🎙💥Terrific choice Debra!!! Peace J ✌ ☮ 💕
They only ever did a couple videos. The guys said management didn’t want to spend $ on them. Most videos are from a concert. If it’s sharp, if it cuts, enjoy yourself” love it. They thought the music/songs spoke for themselves. They grew up with radio and thought videos changes the message, so listeners would imagine what they think the song means.
Actually, it was management that wanted them to do MTV-friendly music videos, thus we got "Separate Ways", "After The Fall", "Chain Reaction" and "Faithfully". "Send Her My Love" was back to the live or live setting-type videos like pre-Frontiers and Raised on Radio. Steve, Jon and Neal all hated doing production videos. They wanted the music to speak for itself.
What another wonderful Journey deep cut. For the video, Just live. I was fortunate to see them sing this live July 17, 1983 in New Orleans. What a great concert. Bryan Adams, Zebra and Foghat opened up for them. Day of Rock And Roll. Please do more Journey deep cuts, "Keep On Running", "Where Were You" and "Walks Like A Lady". Also, you should check out some Zebra. Start with "Tell Me What You Want". Thanks and God Bless.
...Maybe "Who's Behind the Door" by Zebra or "Loving You is Easy" or "Patiently" by Journey...or any Journey with Steve Perry, its all good...all of it
Also one of my favorites. I’ve only seen them do this song live twice. ..based on this song you would prob love Message of Love and Can’t Tame the Lion.
Joann! Literally, not a bad song on all Journey albums (with Steve Perry)...in order, "Infinity", "Evolution","Departure","Escape","Frontiers" and then "Raised on Radio"...."Captured" was a live album, also great. I would suggest you start from the beginning...it is all excellent. A very special band.
Always happy to see a new journey reaction, Hap! Made my day 🙂. So many people now only know Journey as the king of power ballads. They were that but so much more. More suggestions-Escape, Walks Like a Lady, the Party is Over. From Steve-Missing You, Captured by the Moment, I Stand Alone.
...you really must listen to entire "Frontiers" album, there is not a bad track on it.....also true on all albums prior, one of my all time favorite bands.
@@ESSER68NJ when I listen to aJourney album, he only songs I skip are the ones that have been overplayed on the radio for the 40 years…. I prefer the b sides, there are a few unreleased gems on the boxed set, and some interesting info of how they started, and why Steve left
Haha, imagination what the video might look like? I was so blown away by listening to this powerful beat and watching you. I have been doing the same thing right from the start - bopping my head and playing air guitar. To be honest, I don't need or want a video either. This powerful song with this riff, the drums, the insane guitar playing and the VOICE is enough - oh I love it. And with the reference to Johnny and Amber, there you have your video😂. Fantastic and enthusiastic reaction HAP and great choice Debra S.🤩🙋🏻♀
I was looking at your playlist for Journey and I realized u reacted to @ least 6 songs from his 1981 live tour. I just wanted to remind you that each of those songs were unbelievably good, never missed a note!! I remember I saw him either late 80 or early 81 not sure it's been a long time. His concert was amazing. The perfection of the group and his voice... every song was on point. Really appreciate the music groups I had the pleasure to see live!!
Great! Love your reaction to this great song, not known by most, but definitely a classic! You should listen to Rubicon as well, same album same level!!
Try Back Talk off of Frontiers. Very drum heavy and a very different singing style for Perry. Super fun song with Perry basically scatting the whole song. One of my favorites that no one ever hears.
I remember being in a UK heatwave in August in the mid 90's. Brutal! You all need to get yourself some air conditioners! :) As for the song....Oddly I don't think I've heard this before. Then again they do say the memory is the 2nd thing to go....
As a HUGE Journey fan, this album side, b side, is incredible, all NON radio songs.. but the best, most creative, ROCKED.. I was in thiis era, high school, this album was HUGE, biggest thing of the decade, almost... Certainly ones of them in this genre... had like 6 top 40 hits
That’s how come Journey and Classic Rock Bands like them had Amazing Vocalist and great guitars all down the line Musicianship was Awesome this Song fit with especially at that time Cocaine and how many people were doing it from High class down even Beautiful Girls
I’ve been a huge Journey fan since the late 70’s. HUGE! But I have to say, if you dig into the recent news about all the power struggles, drama, and lawsuits going on within the band, “Edge Of The Blade” has become their official unofficial theme song. So sad to to see, because they were, and still are, a truly special band. “You're caught up in the power. A blue magical maze. Now the circle is broken In a spellbinding rage. Better see if you're holdin' The wrong edge of the blade.” 🙁
May Marin Just a note, Randall Darius Jackson is not related to Michael, that is Stephen Randall Jackson, youngest of the Jackson Brothers, born in 1961. They 2 different gents. The Journey Randy is the one that ended up as a judge on American Idol.
how about why can't this night go on forever great song another great song I'll be all right without you and a Steve Perry without journey song that's really great strung out and another song he did for a soundtrack for a movie I stand alone all awesome songs
“This song can be about Amber Heard” 😂 Good analogy!😂… lovin the Journey “journey “ could you please react to the song “Escape” from the Escape Album and the song “I’ll be Alright Without You” from the Raised on Radio Album? Thanks! Keep up the good work!
This is and Proves Journey could Rock with any Band Neal Schon Guitar Player is Amazing the song is what was going on at that time of the 80s Cocaine was everywhere and this Song Live Wow!
...Good choice Hap3!. This song gets little love, but, it is great tune, a little harder edged than the rest of the album.I usually prefer the "B sides", since so much of this album is so over played...I was a senior in High school when this came out, it is classic, and the second to last album with Steve Perry, maybe their pinnacle. But you really should check out some "Raised on Radio", it is a great album, and the last one with Steve Perry
Wow Wow Wow!! Steve the voice, Just love him!!
An underrated song by them…could have been a hit.
I'm CRAZY about this song!!! Others jamming song are 'Escape, Chain Reaction, Message Of Love, Lay It Down and Dead Or Alive!'
Journey was so big at this point they were the first band to have their own video game.

What a reaction! Loved it and loved the song too. This is now one of my top 3 Journey songs. 🥰
The artist who made the cover made it based on "the relativety of time and motion". This is from the Wikipedia article on the album.
Like your reaction to it, this song rocks, listen to it all the time. Vocals are 🔥 So happy a new generation of people are getting to hear not only a great band, but a singer with a phenomenal voice. Steve is the man 🥰

This is a nice deep cut track... they have quite a few. CHAIN REACTION is another track off Frontiers that needs more attention.

@hap3speakz Journey - "Only the Young" Official Audio, from the move VISIONQUEST

They laugh about all the crap they got from some other people about that video Separate Ways.

I always thought of this song as the band vs the record label/managers.
Oo..also I think they called the “alien dude” Elmo.
I am such a fan of Journey! Thank you for this, never heard of it before!❤

This has a James Bomd sound. It would have been awesome for a Bond film.
Fantastic song!! Does not need a video!! Can't recall ever hearing this!! Glad I finally did!! Outstanding 🔥 reaction!! 🔥 great choice, Debra! 💜🎵💜🎵
...you really must listen to entire "Frontiers" album, there is not a bad track on it.....also true on all albums prior, one of my all time favorite bands.
Glad I'm not the only one. Have a few Journey albums and thought maybe I....gasp!....forgot a song.
Damn straight it speaks for itself no visuals needed!!

This is why Steve Perry is the greatest singer of all times bc he can sing anything and make it gold love SP💖

Got to see them during their Frontiers Tour. This was song #11 on the setlist. Great, great concert!!
I missed out on all their concerts. You two are very fortunate. Regrettable
Great! Love your reaction to this great song, not known by most, but definitely a classic! You should listen to Rubicon as well, same album same level!!
Rubicon is one of my favorites.
Love your channel! Love journey! Thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
My hubby’s favorite album and song. He loves it!🔥😎🔥
Try Back Talk off of Frontiers. Very drum heavy and a very different singing style for Perry. Super fun song with Perry basically scatting the whole song. One of my favorites that no one ever hears.
the songs that got no radio play are some of their best
Steve Perry the Voice 👌❤️ love this song
Off the “ Frontiers” album with “ Separate Ways” on it….
I remember being in a UK heatwave in August in the mid 90's. Brutal! You all need to get yourself some air conditioners! :)

Yea it brings back a few minorities 😎😎💯✌️🔥🔥

I'm confused. That song is full of epic guitar!! Great reaction, though, to a great song.
....do not underestimate Neil Schon!, He is a brilliant player
@@raymo6795 That would be Neal
Another song for u.... Girl Can't Help It...official video. It's another song with Randy Jackson(
Michael's brother ) playing the bass!!😁♥️
