Steve and Gregg were magic together. Perfect harmonies. Here you can already hear what a sensational frontman Steve would become. His voice is sensational. I love Lay it Down, Mother Father, Suzanne, Why Can't This Night Go On Forever, Still they Ride (live from Japan 1983) or any of Steve's solo stuff (Strung Out, Oh Sherrie)
Imagine hearing this for the first time an 18yo, cruising down the road in a convertible Malibu and feeling the wind as the sun goes down - Journey could do no wrong!
The saddest thing is these guys were one of the best bands in the late 70s & 80s and unfortunately they never have won a Grammy. Which when you see the artist today that have Grammys. 😢
It’s true! They’re all babies! 😭 Especially Steve. It’s *so* good. Loved hearing Gregg Rolie return in The Storm. Check out that band someday. Journey DNA through and through. So much passion. Always wanted to see them all to get back together again.
Winds of March is a MUST!!! The entire albums of Infinity and Evolution are amazing! Every single song on these albums will not disappoint. Journey On!
I saw them on that tour with Eddie Money and Pat Benatar opening. It was the largest concert in Flint, MI history at the time. I wore my first copy of this album out and I am happily impressed that i remembered all the lyrics. They were unbelievable live, especially when Steve Perry left the stage for a couple jam instrumentals with the original members. Good reactions.
I got to see them in '82 ( I think) when they opened for Montrose - no Hagar just instrumental. They were amazing. The band hung out not far from where I was sitting to watch Montrose after their set. They were able to hang amongst the audience without being bothered.
Yes, their studio game is as great at their Live shows. More Journey. I'd suggest Stone in Love for a rockin vibe or Still they Ride if you want mellow ballad.
Have you ever listened to Dixie Highway? It’s a great song, instruments 🎸 drums, vocals, Gregg Rollie on keyboards - changes like 3 times and I don’t know if it was recorded to a specific album. They did it live in a Japan recording and another in the states. Gregg was killing it and of course Neal’s guitar it’s a must hear.
This was our introduction to Steve Perry! OMG what a voice, right? It put journey into the stratosphere, With a reminince of a Boston/ELO like sound.awesome memories.
My favorite Journey years! Gregg is my favorite! Checkout the 50 yr anniversary where Greg Joins the band for a few songs along with TOTOS steve Lukethord and do a couple SANTANA SONGS! REMEMBER NEAL SCHON AND GREG ROLLIE PLAYED IN SANTANTA before forming Journey!
First time I remember this being played was at my elementary school picnic/carnival. The carnival guys were blasting this on a ‘roller coaster’ type ride! So great!
Salvo G, Steve Perry with Journey have so many beautifully lesser known songs that will blow you away like "Still She Cries," the piano so hauntingly beautiful in this one especially towards the end of the song. "Strung out" "When You Love A Womans" ( nominated for a Grammy). "It's Just the Rain" "You've Got Someting To Hide " "Don't Be Down on me Baby" But please listen to the live version of I'll be Alright Without You" Steve 's vocal are so unbelievable on this one, cuts you to your core!😮
The first singer, keyboardist Gregg Rolie is the same guy who sang "Black Magic Woman" when he was with Santana. The three albums: "Infinity - Evolution" and "Departure" are some of the best records of the 70s. (though, Departure was 1980).
From the Infinity Album (Patiently) is a great choice next. But I'd recommend watching that then the live from The Midnight Special, back to back...In my opinion the live version is the best..also (Winds of March) is also beautiful...
It's great that you did the two songs together like we used to hear them on the radio. Greg and Steve were so awesome together. It's a shame we only got three albums of them both.
Think i listen to that now. Love that song .trying to learn piano. Working on feeling that wat now. Been a drummer 46 years. Piano only 4 months. Have a Long way to go with this years newyear resolution.
Definitely Official videos of: Send Her My Love, After the Fall, Still They Ride (live in Osaka), Be Good To Yourself, Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’, When You Love A Woman, Girl Can’t Help It, La Do Da, Why Can’t This Night Go On Forever ❤️🔥. And from “solo Steve” official videos: Oh Sherrie, Foolish Heart, Missing You, Strung Out, I Stand Alone. I could go on but I’ll quit…for now. 😜
Just a little rock n roll trivia tidbit. FYI, Lead guitarist Neal Schon and Greg Rollie keyboards were both in the band of SANTANA. Rollie, did lead vocals of the song "Black Magic Woman" and Neal Schon was only a 15 year old kid when he was asked to Join the band. Putting together the band Journey, with Steve Perry wasn't received well. Thank the band manager for convincing them to give it time and be patient. Speaking of being patient. Just ask Neal Schon about Steve Perry and him collaborating for their first sit down with only his guitar and the first few notes he played. They knew they had magic in a bottle. Hence the hit, "Patiently"
From the same album, Patiently, Winds of March and Something to Hide, from the album Evolution: Lovin, Touchin’ Squeezin’ paired with City of The Angels, Just The Same Way, Sweet and Simple, Majestic/Too Late; From the album Departure: Line of Fire, Where were you, Someday Soon, Sweet and Simple, Anyway You Want It. From the live album Captured: Party’s Over(Hopelessly in Love), Dixie Highway, Lights/Stay A While (together) and Walks Like A Lady; from Escape: Any and all, can’t go wrong, but since you’ve already done Don’t Stop Believin’, Mother Father and I believe Who’s Crying Now also, how about Stone in Love and Still They Ride next? Open Arms, of course if you haven’t heard that. Keep on Running, Lay it Down, Escape, and Dead or Alive all good too. From the album Frontiers: 1st 5 tracks Separate Ways, Send Her My Love, Chain Reaction, After The Fall and Faithfully; from the album Raised on Radio: everything,except maybe Positive Touch, It Could Have Been You and the title track, not my faves. For Trial By Fire reunion album and last with Steve Perry, strong, solid album throughout that continues in a similar vain as the previous album RoR, with a few heftier more adventurous departures scattered throughout (Message of Love, One More, Castles Burning, Can’t Tame the Lion), the bulk are pop/rock/r&b tinged ballads that give ‘the Voice’ a remarkable platform to sing from. When You Love A Woman (Grammy nominated). Weaker tracks to push for last probably Colours of the Spirit, It’s Just the Rain, and I Can See It In Your Eyes. Not that they’re bad. Journey doesn’t make bad music. Just unremarkable, imo, by comparison. Honorable mentions and absolutely worthy to listen to are from Evolution: Loving you is Easy, Do You Recall, Daydream, When You’re Alone It Ain’t Easy and Lady Luck and then from Departure: Good Morning Girl, Homemade Love, Natural Thing and Little Girl. I like I’m Crying also. Well, this should keep you going on your Journey journey for quite a while. I know I personally am looking forward to every minute of it. Thank you.🙏 ❤
Raised on Radio came after Perry’s first solo album and saw him gain a bit more power and creative control over the direction and production. Since he was pushing them in a more r&b and soul infused direction, back to his roots and primary influences as a singer, during the recording some of the band wasn’t happy with where things seem to be heading and Perry wasn’t satisfied with the feel and wanted to make a change in the rhythm section to better suit the new material. In come a new drummer and bassist, Randy Jackson, of American Idol fame later. But after another extended break, when they reunited for Trial by Fire, Steve Smith and Ross Valory were back in the lineup. More recently they were fired again for conspiring against Neil Schon primarily to try to gain additional legal control be able to stop touring but still get paid I think was the gist. A lot of reports and rumors of turmoil and in-fighting unfortunately these days. A few years back Neal and Greg Rollie put together some dates as “Journey through Time” with drummer Deen Castronovo performing Perry’s lead vocal parts from behind the kit. I so badly wish I could have made one of those shows and wish a longer tour had ensued, but I believe there were some shenanigans going on that caused Greg to not agree to it. Videos of those performances are on YT. Good stuff! Most recently rumors and speculation of a possible limited reunion with Perry. I know his voice isn’t what it once was, but that would still be magical and I would make every attempt to see them if that somehow actually comes to fruition.😊
Live performance was even better with Journey, but you know that by now. Sorry that you missed seeing them for real in concert. Thanks for the great reaction videos; you do a terrific job appreciating these classics before music became just a tech production!
Anything from departure is good. Best album in my opinion. I’m Crying, Precious Time, or Where Were You are my top 3 from the album. They rock and Steve sings his ass off.
These two songs are in my top few favorite Journey songs of all time. Infinity is one of the best albums ever. There are many, many Journey songs that you are sure to love. There is the ever popular Don't Stop Believin' but you could also go with Stone in Love, Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', Any Way You Want It-just a couple of suggestions.
Journey 1983 "Still They Ride" Live In Tokyo. HQ/Not the best quality but OMG. The Voice was on another planet. So lovely! And another is Journey - "Winds of March" (Official Audio)
The great Aynsley Dunbar on drums. He played on albums by Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Michael Schenker and UFO, Jefferson Starship, Whitesnake, and Ian Hunter, among others. Aynsley was like an octopus, but he knew when to scale it back, too. Check him out on the first 3 (pre-Steve Perry) Journey albums, when they were a jam band. Topaz is a great instrumental that showcases the guitar prowess of Neal Schon along with Aynsley’s drumming.
You give the impression that this is just one song, when in reality it is two. I'm assuming you realized that after shooting the video, since your video title is correct. AOR radio (and classic rock stations today) always played these back-to-back, just like We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions, and The Spider/Portrait (He Knew) - Kansas Point of Know Return, 1977. There must have been something in the water in 1977 - 1978, because I can't think of any other songs in AOR rock history that were paired up on albums and played together like these three (I can't remember if the Cars' Bye Bye Love/Moving in Stereo were played together). I would include Foreplay/Long Time but feel that Foreplay was meant to be coupled with Long Time, whereas these others were not originally conceived as such. What is really fun is that all three bands (Four in you count the Cars), share a common thread: Roy Thomas Baker produced Infinity after working with Queen, and Kansas took over for Queen on the '74 Mott the Hoople tour, and I think opened for Queen in '75 or '76.
All of the songs on this album are really great, this is Steve Perry's debut with Journey and imo, it's his best, I mean, his vocals are just glorious! I've owned this album twice because someone actually stole it from me back in the 70's, and then in the 80's! I guess they really loved the album too. Really, you should take time out and listen to the whole album. Thanks for FINALLY playing something else from this album besides "Wheel In The Sky", like others usually do.
This was their best album. friends and i found this album with no cover on the rail road tracks. we took it home and put it on the turntable. And WOW we were hooked. great album. Might want to try Winds of March off the same album
There's one pre-Steve Perry "Journey" tune I think you should check out. It's titled "Look Into the Future" and it really showcases Neal Schon going crazy on the guitar, some great Gregg Rolie keyboards, and an overall venture into Progressive Rock at its finest.
Still They Ride, Escape, Frontiers, Steel of the Blade, Just the Same Way, Stone in Love, Patiently, Anyway You Want It, People and Places, Stay Awhile
You should also react to 'Just The Same Way (with Perry and Rolie) and People And Places (Perry, Rolie and with Neal Schon *guitarist* doing most the singing*)!!'
love this one! and glad u played both together, that is how it was intended....and is played on FM radio. Amazing stuff! Saw these guys in concert in 1981....amazing.
Still They Ride must be from Tokyo 83 (And while you watch and listen Steve had the flu!) Also Wheeling the Sky from Osaka!!! Steve and Neil Are so incredible playing off of each other!!!!
The combination of Greg Rolli and Steve Perry makes this one of the greatest back to back songs ever!
Steve and Gregg were magic together. Perfect harmonies. Here you can already hear what a sensational frontman Steve would become. His voice is sensational. I love Lay it Down, Mother Father, Suzanne, Why Can't This Night Go On Forever, Still they Ride (live from Japan 1983) or any of Steve's solo stuff (Strung Out, Oh Sherrie)
Imagine hearing this for the first time an 18yo, cruising down the road in a convertible Malibu and feeling the wind as the sun goes down - Journey could do no wrong!
Agreed!
The saddest thing is these guys were one of the best bands in the late 70s & 80s and unfortunately they never have won a Grammy. Which when you see the artist today that have Grammys. 😢
They did win a Grammy for the song When You Love A Woman
@@joelhammond4162 Nominated, didn't win the Beatles did, don't ask me why .
@@MaryTompkins-z8p Ah, my mistake, you are correct. Thanks.🙏
No doubt!Most stuff you hear on the radio,especially rap,is absolute dog shit
It's been a while. How about Send Her My Love or Still They Ride?
When Steve’s voice comes in ❤. Such an epic song.
Steve Perry... one of the best voices in a generation.
Love the early Journey songs with Greg and Steve as co-lead singers.
in my humble opinion, this is Journey, in Full Force! ❤
Absolutely!
The video is good too - they all look so young !!! 👍🏻
It’s true! They’re all babies! 😭 Especially Steve. It’s *so* good. Loved hearing Gregg Rolie return in The Storm. Check out that band someday. Journey DNA through and through. So much passion. Always wanted to see them all to get back together again.
Love the clip of this from the Midnight Special. Not only were they young, they all had tons of hair! 😂
@@janleonard3101 I know, that's the one I was talking about !
My ALL TIME favorite Journey song(s)!
Great job Salvo!
Mother, father was awesome live. You need to watch that live and faithfully. Awesome vocals in both songs and instruments. Also watch wheel in the sky
Have you listened to 'Lovin, Touchin, Squeezin by Journey?? Another great one!!
I ran into the record store at 14 and instantly bought this great album! Will never forget that.
I heard this song about 16 years old, and it was the start of my lifelong obsession with journey
Totally! This would do it. Like a recruiting tool. 😊 ty for sharing.
Lights / Stay Awhile live Japan 1980🔥🔥🔥
It doesn't matter which one you choose they're all good.
"Stay Awhile" is my absolute favorite
Winds of March is a MUST!!! The entire albums of Infinity and Evolution are amazing! Every single song on these albums will not disappoint. Journey On!
💯
First time I saw them was back in 1979... a fantastic show
I saw them on that tour with Eddie Money and Pat Benatar opening. It was the largest concert in Flint, MI history at the time. I wore my first copy of this album out and I am happily impressed that i remembered all the lyrics.

The older stuff is better than the newer.💯 Infinity is great!!❤
"Loving, Touching, Squeezing"
Absolutely ❤
YES, the Midnight Special one! He was a baby!!
Just love Steve and Greg together. Absolutely electrifying.
Winds of March, Sweet and Simple, Patiently
Winds of March. 🔥
Yes, their studio game is as great at their Live shows. More Journey. I'd suggest Stone in Love for a rockin vibe or Still they Ride if you want mellow ballad.
Patiently and Winds of March are great deep cuts from the Infinity album
My fav journey song(s) by them
❤Will we ever have music like this again.....I don't think so. Thats why we have playlists I guess.
We wore this album to a nub as teens.
Gotta do "winds of march"..it's so overlooked!! This album is my favorite!
I love the combination and juxtaposition of the two voices here. Ear candy!
Just the Same Way is great. But also in line with this pair is Lovin, Touching, Squeezing/City of the Angels
YES!
yep wth the video
Mother Father is a music masterpiece
Have you ever listened to Dixie Highway? It’s a great song, instruments 🎸 drums, vocals, Gregg Rollie on keyboards - changes like 3 times and I don’t know if it was recorded to a specific album. They did it live in a Japan recording and another in the states. Gregg was killing it and of course Neal’s guitar it’s a must hear.
Stone In Love is one of their rocking best!!!
My recommendation for his next reaction too
Came down here to recommend this one.
"Stone In Love"
Have to check I'm crying!
This was our introduction to Steve Perry! OMG what a voice, right? It put journey into the stratosphere, With a reminince of a Boston/ELO like sound.awesome memories.
My favorite Journey years! Gregg is my favorite! Checkout the 50 yr anniversary where Greg Joins the band for a few songs along with TOTOS steve Lukethord and do a couple SANTANA SONGS! REMEMBER NEAL SCHON AND GREG ROLLIE PLAYED IN SANTANTA before forming Journey!
Songs to check out... Anyway you Want It, Just the Same Way, Lovin Touchin Squeezin, Wheel in Sky, Who's Crying Now, Open Arms.
A great live cut is Dixie Highway from the live Captured album
I'm Cryin Live Japan 1980
Pure late-70s, HS parking lot on a Friday afternoon, big 70s cars blasting Journey on their 8-track tape decks with the whole weekend ahead.
First time I remember this being played was at my elementary school picnic/carnival. The carnival guys were blasting this on a ‘roller coaster’ type ride! So great!
These two songs just fit so perfectly. ❤❤❤
Ask the lonely, After the fall & I'm cryin. They are something!! Great as always from them!
Journey Captured Live is phenomenal. Nobody else is reacting to that album.
Salvo G, Steve Perry with Journey have so many beautifully lesser known songs that will blow you away like "Still She Cries," the piano so hauntingly beautiful in this one especially towards the end of the song.
"Strung out"
"When You Love A Womans" ( nominated for a Grammy).
"It's Just the Rain"
"You've Got Someting To Hide "
"Don't Be Down on me Baby"
But please listen to the live version of I'll be Alright Without You" Steve 's vocal are so unbelievable on this one, cuts you to your core!😮
The first singer, keyboardist Gregg Rolie is the same guy who sang "Black Magic Woman" when he was with Santana.
The three albums: "Infinity - Evolution" and "Departure" are some of the best records of the 70s. (though, Departure was 1980).
This is still my first and favorite album by Journey they were to dropped from their label, then in,comes Steve and it history from there.
My favorite Journey song(s).
When You Love A Woman (video) and Send Her My Love are 2songs that are among my top 5 favorite songs of Journey 's long list of hits! 🔥💃❤️
From the Infinity Album (Patiently) is a great choice next. But I'd recommend watching that then the live from The Midnight Special, back to back...In my opinion the live version is the best..also (Winds of March) is also beautiful...
It's blasphemy for one to not play one song without the other. This is Journey at their best!
LOL Blasphemy, I love it!
It's great that you did the two songs together like we used to hear them on the radio. Greg and Steve were so awesome together. It's a shame we only got three albums of them both.
From this album you cant go wrong Patiently is great
Just the same way by Journey
Think i listen to that now. Love that song .trying to learn piano. Working on feeling that wat now. Been a drummer 46 years. Piano only 4 months. Have a Long way to go with this years newyear resolution.
Definitely Official videos of: Send Her My Love, After the Fall, Still They Ride (live in Osaka), Be Good To Yourself, Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’, When You Love A Woman, Girl Can’t Help It, La Do Da, Why Can’t This Night Go On Forever ❤️🔥. And from “solo Steve” official videos: Oh Sherrie, Foolish Heart, Missing You, Strung Out, I Stand Alone. I could go on but I’ll quit…for now. 😜

The studio versions are great, but the midnight special live versions are soo good
💯
Anything from departure is good. Best album in my opinion. I’m Crying, Precious Time, or Where Were You are my top 3 from the album. They rock and Steve sings his ass off.
Check out Faithfully and STONE IN LOVE by Journey
This reminds me of roller skating in the roller rink! Nothing beats this era! Gregg Rolie in his prime. Love these songs.
this entire record is a must listen.
This is their best song👊🏽⚡️
These two songs are in my top few favorite Journey songs of all time. Infinity is one of the best albums ever. There are many, many Journey songs that you are sure to love. There is the ever popular Don't Stop Believin' but you could also go with Stone in Love, Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', Any Way You Want It-just a couple of suggestions.
Sweet and Simple...Great Journey deep cut. Lay it Down is another.
Journey 1983 "Still They Ride" Live In Tokyo. HQ/Not the best quality but OMG. The Voice was on another planet. So lovely! And another is Journey - "Winds of March" (Official Audio)
The great Aynsley Dunbar on drums. He played on albums by Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Michael Schenker and UFO, Jefferson Starship, Whitesnake, and Ian Hunter, among others. Aynsley was like an octopus, but he knew when to scale it back, too. Check him out on the first 3 (pre-Steve Perry) Journey albums, when they were a jam band. Topaz is a great instrumental that showcases the guitar prowess of Neal Schon along with Aynsley’s drumming.
Amazing how badass that simple little fill sounds❤
Try"Someday Soon" from Departure. "Patiently", from Infinity. His voice on this track brought tears. Truly!
You give the impression that this is just one song, when in reality it is two. I'm assuming you realized that after shooting the video, since your video title is correct. AOR radio (and classic rock stations today) always played these back-to-back, just like We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions, and The Spider/Portrait (He Knew) - Kansas Point of Know Return, 1977.

Something to Hide is another deep cut Perry's vocals soar at the end
This was their best album. friends and i found this album with no cover on the rail road tracks. we took it home and put it on the turntable. And WOW we were hooked. great album. Might want to try Winds of March off the same album
One of my favorites! 🎶
Right! I didn’t know that this was the introduction to SP! And that being the introduction? Wow! Good job, guys.
Gotta say, I’ve seen ALOT of your reactions. This one by far is the funnest to watch. I love the song even more. Keep it up dude.
To me this is the perfect transition from old Journey into what would become the Steve Perry Journey, with the best of both vocal styles.

"Anytime" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There's one pre-Steve Perry "Journey" tune I think you should check out. It's titled "Look Into the Future" and it really showcases Neal Schon going crazy on the guitar, some great Gregg Rolie keyboards, and an overall venture into Progressive Rock at its finest.
Still They Ride, Escape, Frontiers, Steel of the Blade, Just the Same Way, Stone in Love, Patiently, Anyway You Want It, People and Places, Stay Awhile
Winds of March Live in Chicago 8/5/79 💕🔥🔥🔥
Ask the lonely is another good one!
The live version from the album Captured is FIRE 🔥!!!
"Wheel in the Sky" is my all time grand champion favorite. ••• Deck! CANNED!!!
My all-time fav Journey sing is the never-played deeply hidden gem, People and Places, from their Departure album.
You should also react to 'Just The Same Way (with Perry and Rolie) and People And Places (Perry, Rolie and with Neal Schon *guitarist* doing most the singing*)!!'
Anything from Osaka Live 1980🔥🔥🔥
If memory serves, this was Steve’s debut. Up to that point Journey had been an instrumental band.
love this one! and glad u played both together, that is how it was intended....and is played on FM radio. Amazing stuff! Saw these guys in concert in 1981....amazing.
A radio station here used to play an awesome live version of this - just as good as the record!
Don’t stop what you’re doing. You’re one of the best reaction follows on RUclips!
Steve and Gregg were amazing and so magical together! I so wished they would do something again.
This is my favorite journey album. I love every song on it.
Listen to Journey...Good Morning girl/Stay Awhile ❤️
The live versions of Patiently and Still they ride are awesome!
Still They Ride must be from Tokyo 83
(And while you watch and listen Steve had the flu!)
Also Wheeling the Sky from Osaka!!! Steve and Neil Are so incredible playing off of each other!!!!
Great band and great album!
