When I was a young drummer, living in Phoenix, Arizona, journey's drummer, Steve Smith, did a clinic in our town. He took the time to help me understand something that was quite complex because I'm a left-handed drummer and all the books at the time were written for right-handed players. He actually took the time to not only write out charts for me, but he allowed me to record him on my portable cassette player so I would have it to reference after the clinic. This was 1979-1980. He's a great drummer!
His speaking voice sounds remarkably like his unique singing voice. The texture and the ethereal quality are all still there when he talks. More Journey and even solo Steve please!✌🏽
As an Englishman, my first visit to the US was in 1981, I went to a bar and the music playing was sublime, it was Journey. I have loved them ever since.
There's a reason Journey was one of the best arena rock bands out there. They played to sold out houses wherever they went, because they consistently sounded better in concert than on the album.
Neal Schon doesn’t get enough credit for his guitar playing. He started in Santana when he was like 15. Him and Gregg Rollie both left years later to start Journey.
Journey is SUCH a deep dive of hits...keep going with them for sure :) Now you see why Steve Perry was one of the featured vocalists on USA For Africa's "We Are the World" :)
Journey is a really special, and talented band, and we were really spoiled in my generation with all of the vocal talent out there, but Steve Perry was untouchable. I think you two would really appreciate the vocals of a Canadian band called Triumph, as well. Check out "Lay it on the Line" live at the 1983 US Festival. The lead guitarist, lead songwriter, and lead singer on most of their songs, Rik Emmet is excellent. Love you two!🙂
What do you mean, "underrated"? He's famous all over the world and one of the most influential singers in rock history, EVERYBODY who listens to rock knows who Steve Perry is, and how good he is.
@@erikthompson619Known as one of the greatest, if not the greatest rock vocalist of all time, " The Voice". OP is either a total idiot, clueless or just trying to illicit a reaction.
This is a beautiful Classic, the guitar solo is done by Neal Schon, his solo is soul wrenching and breath taking in the studio version, with no distorted tone, just a clean Bluesy tone. And as always, Steve Perry's singing is drenched with 1960's RnB Soulful singing. One of Rocks greatest ballads ever. They sure don't write or play this masterfully anymore in the Rock genre, todays Rock music is so one dimensional. Just listen to that solo, it has some much emotion, you can practicly feel the sadness in each note. Back in a 1989 guitar survey , this was one of the top five guitar solos in the 1980's, in that particular poll among guitar players.. It edged out many fire breathing solos by Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and others .
Gen xers like me were very lucky to grow up with bands like this! I feel sorry for my kids because stadium packed rock bands are a thing of the past! My kids will never get that experience!
Journey my very first concert ever 81 ESCAPE. OMG every time I hear a song by Journey it takes me back to my youth. I thank u for enjoying and reacting to this genre of music. I know so many people that limit themselves to just one genre. ❤❤❤
Steve helps on keys on several songs, such as Stone in Love. Before joining Journey, he was a drummer/singer in the bands he was in. He also plays bass guitar. Steve worked as a sound engineer while trying to get into the music business. It's no wonder he knows how to write and perform such great music. Journey toured crazy long and grueling tours back in the day. In interviews Steve has done in the last couple of years, he has spoken of how neurotic and maddening it was to keep that schedule as a singer singing that catalog of songs. He is a perfectionist and always was afraid to let down the fans, the band and himself. He worked hard to make it appear effortless. I loved Journey but Steve is a rare talent. .
Neal Schon is one of the leading starting members of Journey with Gregg Rollie in 1973 after leaving Santana. Neal started playing guitar with Santana at the age of 14 in 1968 in the Bay Area. He didn't become an official member of Santana until 1971 at the age of 17 after Eric Clapton wanted him to join the group Derek And The Dominoes. Steve Perry joined Journey in 1977 and the rest is history. Schon still plays concerts all over the US in 2022 with Journey playing with Toto. Schon with Gregg Rollie still perform Santana also. Their Great Music is timeless!
Neil Schon and Greg Rookie are an awesomematch, try anything off the first 3 albums with Gregg before Steve came in, they are an eye opener in the early days and those albums rock!
Mother Father live in Houston 81 demonstrates Steve his emotional vocal talents in giving everything to a song. Early Journey and songs such as Winds of March, Sweet and Simple, Too Late and other gens also show his development and unique vocal stylings. The voice is the voice for a reason. Gifted musician wgi takes his craft seriously. It may look effortless but Steve touring back in the day and recording the way he did will day it took a lot of discipline and care for that voice to perform even when sick and not at his best.
You should check "mother father " live from Houston 81. IT is the masterpiece of live performances! Unbelievable voice. He reaches the sky with his voice there, ani Angelic note ! 🔥🔥🔥 IT is must see for Asia, she will defienetly love it
Journey is legendary!!!! Steve Perry is a Rock n' Roll god!!!!! Journey will be in concert here in Sacramento on April 1, 2022 the day before my birthday!
BJ another live cut you would like is called, “The Girl Can’t Help It.” Also try anything from the Frontier’s album. Btw, the drummer is Steve Smith. Not a female. Lol Asia you did miss out girl.
It’s a spiritual experience listening to Journey, Steve’s voice, Neil’s guitar, Jonathan Caine on piano, the whole band is awesome! Nothing like Journey! I thank god I saw them many times as. Teen! It was truly like being in heaven at their concert!
Mother Father Live in Houston will blow you away!! Steve is a vocal god and the whole band is on point the talent of this band is off the charts and a band that sounds BETTER live is proof of that 😍
JOURNA y, they do the song. I'll be all right, I'll be alright without you. By journey, you gotta do the LIVE version, Texas Houston, I'll be all right by journey.
At a time, ANYTIMA. That's a old classicurity, let's stay Perry on. The keyboard is gone back-and-forth on the second. Yeah it's good that other girls really good too
Journey, is Awesome!! I'm a Lady of the 80's, so this band was a Huge Favorite!! One of my Favorites is Loving Touching Squeezing. Please listen to this song, it's an earlier song before they Exploded, was one of Steve Perry's, lead singers first hits after he was hired to play with Journey. His voice is Iconic, and I know who's singing the minute I hear his voice. Take a Listen to Loving Touching Squeezing!!!! You'll Love it!!
I was lucky enough to see Journey in concert. One of the best bands of its time, and now the younger generation is open to yesterday's music is rewarding for Journey.
Ok i see yall jammin some Journey, Ok Journey is Legendary 80s for sure And this song is a 80s babies banger. When you guys get time can you react to ''Seperate Ways'' by Journey Another Classic Banger!!!🎶😎
I have been blessed to see Journey many times in concert. I got to see them in the first row at the LA Forum. There is nothing like seeing them live. Absolutely over the top, the best. Neal Schon is such an underrated guitar player. Neal and Steve are magic together. The drummer is a male. His name is Steve Smith.
There's a dude from the Philippines who toured some few yrs back. He sounds just like Steve Perry. Does all of Johnny's songs. People love this dude because people love Journey.
Thanks for circling back to Journey. I know y'all did this in the live stream, but doing it live makes it so much better. When you get a chance, listen to the live version of the Houston concert, the sound quality is so much better. Please do "Send Her My Love" from the Frontiers Album 1983, "The Girl Can't Help It" from the Raised On Radio album in 1986 and "When You Love A Woman" from the Trial By Fire album 1996. Thanks and God Bless.
Steve Perry was a friggin' heartthrob back then - with that hair, those tight-a$$ed, high-wasted jeans and the short shirts! LOL The most angelic voice ever with sick tone and amazing range!
Hey, love your reaction. But correction, the drummer is a male name Steve Smith. Look closely. Steve "The Voice" Perry always delivers and sounds better live than on the studio recordings every time. He never disappoints his audience. You all did miss out, but you can catch up now.
Love Journey! No one can replace Steve Perry! He's woven into so many minds. The new singer is great! Very talented. We were just raised on Journey with Steve Perry.
That's THE Voice...period! Original mic drop person right there! No auto tune needed. Neal Schon another one of the great guitarist of our time! Has been a part of so many bands including Santana. Steve was playing the organ while Jonathon Cain focused on the piano for that section. The drummer was NOT a female, LOL! That was Steve Smith hammering out that beat and Ross Valory on bass.
I have seen Journey 6 times, starting when I was 17 years old (a long time ago). I saw them in Seattle Washington with my best friend, the tour from this Video, Steve Perry wore the same shirt. We were so close to the stage Steve Perry sweated on my friend...
Best lead singer of all time...no comaprison...and I saw Freddie at his prime...but also, just a fantastic mix of the musicians involved. So tight, so good so in tune with each other...just the complete band.
When I was a young drummer, living in Phoenix, Arizona, journey's drummer, Steve Smith, did a clinic in our town.

How cool is that.
did BJ say it was a female drummer?
Whoa, So lucky.
Wow, great story and yes, he was a great drummer. But based on your experience I'd say he is an even better human being.
Steve Smith is an outstanding drummer!
I appreciate Journey even more now, because no one is close even decades later. Maybe never!
He is simply amazing. No ONE can compare to “THE VOICE”!!!!! His range is incredible and he is flawless!!!
Jon Bon Jovi named Steve Perry “The Voice”
Can't go wrong w Journey!! PERIOD!! 🔥🔥🔥 👐👐👐👐
His speaking voice sounds remarkably like his unique singing voice. The texture and the ethereal quality are all still there when he talks. More Journey and even solo Steve please!✌🏽
As an Englishman, my first visit to the US was in 1981, I went to a bar and the music playing was sublime, it was Journey. I have loved them ever since.
An added FYI: Neal Schon, lead guitar, played with Santana when he was 15. The drummer is Steve Smith.
That's impressive ,Jamie. .Wow .Hard to imagine mastering the guitar enough for Carlos Santana to say "Yeah, I want that kid in my band."
One of the most underrated guitar players. He is amazing.
He had killer afro back then, too.
Came here to say that about Neil Schon! 🎸🔥
I thought he was 17 when he started with Santana. Not that it really matters. 15 or 17, it’s still phenomenal.
Journey “Mother, Father, Sister, Brother” most amazing vocal performance live in Houston 81
Mhm....great song indeed!
Yes Mother Father is better live than the studio version that’s just how I Like to listen to it amazing performance by Steve Perry
There's a reason Journey was one of the best arena rock bands out there. They played to sold out houses wherever they went, because they consistently sounded better in concert than on the album.
I know they still tour btw, but c'mon, not the same without Steve.
Neal Schon doesn’t get enough credit for his guitar playing. He started in Santana when he was like 15. Him and Gregg Rollie both left years later to start Journey.
You should hear him singing 'When You Love a Woman', his voice is pure beauty on that one.
It is here also Sharilyn
Agreed Sharilyn. Great video.
I agree ☝️
Agree...but his live (any live) versions of 'Mother, Father is something else.
Good Morning Girl from the Departure LP, is Steve Perry's greatest vocal in his time in Journey.
Journey is SUCH a deep dive of hits...keep going with them for sure :) Now you see why Steve Perry was one of the featured vocalists on USA For Africa's "We Are the World" :)
You’re right but Springsteen stoled the show as always…..
Lol, the drummer is a guy, Steve Smith. You should really listen to Steve Perry's solo of Foolish Heart.
Journey is a really special, and talented band, and we were really spoiled in my generation with all of the vocal talent out there, but Steve Perry was untouchable. I think you two would really appreciate the vocals of a Canadian band called Triumph, as well. Check out "Lay it on the Line" live at the 1983 US Festival.

From one John kelley to another I couldn't agree with you more
Agreed….Triumph was an enigma….we loved them!
Good to learn Asia's guitar taste. That solo by Neal was something timeless.
Steve Perry has one of the best, most effortless voices of all time. No auto tune needed. Ever.
Yes! Love my Journey! Please react to Mother/Father live in Houston`81..you will love it Asia! Keep On Rockin'
Mother Father live Houston 1981 is a must! His vocals and emotions will blow your mind.
Yes!!! So amazing!
Steve Perry one of the greatest underated voices of all time ❣️
What do you mean, "underrated"? He's famous all over the world and one of the most influential singers in rock history, EVERYBODY who listens to rock knows who Steve Perry is, and how good he is.
@@erikthompson619 heheh yeah, I always like comments like OPs. No basis, just words.

What a voice!!! Steve Perry had a God given talent!!
Mother Father live in Houston is a vocal masterpiece!
Journey Escape album was huge in the 80’s ! Played that cassette over and over in 86 in high school ! 🔥👏💯
First lead solo I personally ever learned to play. Neal Schon is a guitar god. Seeing Journey with Toto opening next Monday night in Seattle.
Good times...from Oregon! catch a rising star concert - Journey for $1.92 promoted by KGON radio.
WOW, CJR, what a fabulous concert that will be!!!
"Hold the Line" is my favorite, by TOTO---killer piano!!!
Yeah, Neil is criminally overlooked when "experts" are discussing all-time great guitarists. Dude was SEVENTEEN when he started with Santana.
Should be Toto with Journey opening LOL
Neal Shon is probably the most overlooked guitarist there is, except for maybe Prince.
My cousin was at the Journey concert 1981 in Houston and she said the sound quality was amazing.
So so great! One of my favorite Jounrney songs. The whole band is soooo good together!
Keyboardist Gregg Rolie was also a founding member of Journey and Santana. He also plays with Ringo Starr . He’s lived in the Austin area for years.
Steve Perry has the best voice in rock and roll.
This is a beautiful Classic, the guitar solo is done by Neal Schon, his solo is soul wrenching and breath taking in the studio version, with no distorted tone, just a clean Bluesy tone.

Steve isn't the only one that can sing in that band... Neal's melodic soloing is brilliant.
Gen xers like me were very lucky to grow up with bands like this! I feel sorry for my kids because stadium packed rock bands are a thing of the past! My kids will never get that experience!
He was The Voice of the 70s. Amazing! If you get the chance watch Eva Cassidy singing Somewhere over the rainbow. She will blow you away.
And Robert Plant!
You ain't kidding, I love Steve but no Led Zeppelin.
If you haven't reacted to it. Check out "Mother, Father" live in Houston. You will be on the floor over Steve Perry's voice at the end. AMAZING!
Open Arms! Another love song CLASSIC!!
Journey my very first concert ever 81 ESCAPE. OMG every time I hear a song by Journey it takes me back to my youth. I thank u for enjoying and reacting to this genre of music. I know so many people that limit themselves to just one genre. ❤❤❤
I get such joy in seeing you guys smile hearing him sing.....I enjoyed it so much in my youth, he was easily my favorite, his voice is timeless

Glad I grew up in the 70s and 80s, that stuff will never be topped or ever happen again.
Must hear Steve Perry sing Mother Father live in Houston 1981...will blow your mind Asia !!!
Another great song from a great band.l one of the best singers ever!
Classic Journey. OMG I love Steve Perry. Such a beautiful song and I love the guitar in this song as well.

Journey is amazing. Love your reaction!
Brings tears as the memories come
Such rich good talent
Never disappointed ✌️🌸🎶
Saw Journey three times growing up all I can say is OH MY GOD! Only way to appreciate this band fully is to see them live!
Greatest singer in Rock history..NO body at that time could touch perry..
Neal Schon's guitar solos are some of the best in music. He has a natural ability to create such a beautiful melody in them.
JOURNA y, they do the song. I'll be all right, I'll be alright without you. By journey, you gotta do the LIVE version, Texas Houston, I'll be all right by journey.
If it's dave perry though, you know, steve's saying it's good, it's the best, the best

I agree with Charlie Sheen. He said to any woman. I don't want one at a journey concert. That could have acted a band could have been staved😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
They all a l l the one
Journey Live in Houston 1981 is more to my liking.
I never realized how great a guitar solo was until now.
1981 live in Houston is best autio!
Agree, this was not the best live version
Love you guys that’s Steve smith on the drums
The 1981 houston concert will show you just how perfect of a singer Steve is. pick any song from that show and you will be blown away.

“When you love a woman” mostly vocals from Steve. Beautiful song
Saw Journey 3 times back in the day
This tour Escape was phenomenal.
Steven on fire.
Amazing live!
LA Forum 1981.

Neal Schon is such an underrated guitar player. Neal and Steve are magic together. The drummer is a male. His name is Steve Smith.
Love it!!! Journey is my favorite. Do their song Mother, Father, Sister.
Send her my love, open arms, faithfully, mother father, separate ways...HUGE LIST of hits from the best band ever.
Love Journey , the singers voice is what got my attention first.
Journey was a great band 👍
This whole concert is 🔥. Believe it or not they always sound better live.
SOOOOOOOO happy you love Journey, Asia!!! Makes my heart happy!!!
There's a dude from the Philippines who toured some few yrs back. He sounds just like Steve Perry. Does all of Johnny's songs. People love this dude because people love Journey.
No filter No backing track. Solid performance and if the industry wanted hold performers to a higher level we could have this again.
Thanks for circling back to Journey. I know y'all did this in the live stream, but doing it live makes it so much better.

from way back I'm 70 years old from way back in the day journeys always been my group they're the best oh buy the way you two are cool man far out!!!!
Great Band. Saw them in front row that same year and was one of the top 3 live shows I have every been to.
They are absolutely dope! God I love Journey. Once in a lifetime experience.

Love Journey! No one can replace Steve Perry! He's woven into so many minds. The new singer is great! Very talented. We were just raised on Journey with Steve Perry.

Good point. Steve Perry's singing is out of this world.
Shoens (sp)on guitar and Perry on vocals is a match made in heaven.
